Thanks for the music. I go to sleep with songs, I wake with songs, sometimes my dreams even have a soundtrack. It's the ONE true constant in my life (besides change) and I am ever so grateful. Even living in Canada as a starving artist I am happy to have found this path. No, I have no house, don't own much except a few guitars and an old '92 Dodge. People ask for me to sing, and mostly I do... I was asked to write a song for The Black Sheep Inn, it's a place I frequent, and am inspired by, which I Love, so I said yes. It's that easy, that simple... just because I wasn't chosen by CBC to write a song for the venue I started my singing career in, doesn't mean I won't gladly do it... SO! THANK YOU to the folks who put me to the task of finding the "right" words... though, it AIN'T easy.. there are too many things, times, emotions and melodies to explore...I have been working on 3 different songs so far, in hopes that ONE will be sufficient for the February 11th debut (at The Black Sheep Inn) I just have to remember that I am NOT here to please everyone, but if I can please a few, a few will do... xo
Indian Summer Blue
Hi! I'm sitting under an October sky and OH! how I Love October skies!! It seems they must be my favourite as I believe I've written about this particular shade of blue before. A clear, crisp, shiny blue... Maybe it's the way it bounces off the yellows, oranges and reds but somehow it's more satisfying than a Summer heat wave blue, this Indian Summer shade...I've been travelling a lot these past few months and Music has been paving my way to all sorts of different places. I am so very thankful that the songs inside me are getting heard by more and more people and even more thankful that my Dodge '92 is keeping up her end of the bargain. I was planning a tour out to the West Coast of Canada this fall, but have since decided that she, my van, might like to live a little longer, and a Spring tour may be easier on her old nerves...Speaking of nerves, I will be doing a show with Ron Sexsmith in just over a week, I am peachy thrilled and only wish that all the eyes reading this could also bring their ears and be thrilled themselves!! I'll let you know how is goes for sure... I think it will be better than superb!! In the meantime I have some free time to write... and hope to have another new song for my show this weekend at The Black Sheep Inn. If only I could finish a few that I am working on at present.. sometimes they take forever to complete and other times there are ready within minutes... who knows where it comes from, where any of it comes from, but I am tremendously thankful for the gift of song that I have been given and will continue to share...until there are no meals, wheels or deals... Take care, Lindsay xo
