Passion, Poignant dates and Producers

It's been such a very long time since i've written or posted any pictures. so i guess it's about time to do just that. It's May 31. Lots of land marks for this date, one of which is my parent's anniversary. I thank God that I have an example of what it is to fight through insurmountable opposition and come out on the other side still unified, and still in love. There are other things that this day marks... but i'll just keep those to myself, and just say i also thank God for his undying mercy and love that saves us all from the pit of our own destruction.

Photography has been in a sleepy little lull as of late, which is more than ok with me. It seems I am powerless to focus on more than one passion at a time and I'm thrilled to say Elijah and I are back in the studio working on finishing up my project. It looks like it will in fact be a full length album even though we thought we'd have to cut some of the material because it was just so dated now. Only one song ended up hitting the cutting room floor, which was about an ex-boyfriend anyway and honestly, i just didn't have it in me to sing it anymore. Some songs just need to die with the renewal of your heart. So, we have 10, one of which is a cover which i may end up putting to a vote to get general consensus as to whether it should be done. My newest song, Sparrow is making the cut, taking the place of one of my favorite songs which will appear on my next album - and ooooh boy am i excited about that one!! You'll just have to wait and see. MAN, it's gonna be so great.

I am embracing my roots. i am finding that i can barely control my southern accent anymore - proof being that elijah actually stopped me and asked me to repeat what i had said the other day because he couldn't understand me! hahahahaha - oh well, why fight it? It just goes along with the next generation of my music. I'm in probably the 4th generation of my songwriting which is embracing my blue grass/country western roots - which i consequently used to fight tooth and nail to get away from... but never fear, when you mix my roots with the punk rock/hard core roots of my most excellent producer, what you get is glorious indeed. But first, Cession Volition - my first full length album... after 9 years of waiting, is in REALITY: coming soon.
