[stylist] Two song lyrics & link - a belated happyValentine'sDay

Mon Feb 24 03:22:15 UTC 2014

Donna,

Yes, my experience is in doing musicals and being a vocalist with bands,
so a very broad background. I was also a dancer, so I've done a lot of
dancing on stage as well. And I was choreographer for a high school show
choir for a year after graduating high school myself. I've done shows
like Westside Story, Once Upon a Mattress, Jesus Christ Superstar and R
& H's Cinderella. Then I've danced in The Nutcracker and Sleeping Beauty
along with smaller shows. And on the other end, I've performed with rock
bands locally. Now the writing thing is my priority, but as I said, I
get the itch to perform from time to time.

Bridgit,
Wow! I had no idea you had all of that performing in your past! Three
cheers for Declan bringing the music back. I've kind of pushed my own
music to the side to finish and promote the novel, but it's nagging me
to find a more regular place for music in my life.

Promoting the book is an absolutely endless job; you just have to put
your head down and keep pushing and get over waiting for responses; it's
not much fun. Then, you get a response or request, and you get your
batteries recharged for a bit. Add to that that Rich got sick right
after the book came out in print, and my plans blew up in my face! Well,
it's been another endurance test. Donna

OMG, I think my first concert was Michael Damien, a pop singer in the
late 80's and early 90's, who had previously been a soap actor. I was
probably to little to be at a concert , but my dad wanted to go and took
me, grin. Back then, I didn't enjoy the crowd, but I was captivated by
the concept of someone performing. I knew from a very early age that I
wanted to perform. It's all I ever wanted to do. In my early 20's,
something, and I, for some reason, stopped singing. I went through a bad
experience, and the music just stopped. I literally didn't sing at all.
Then when Declan was born, the music came back, smile. Now I sing all
the time at home, and Declan loves it. From time to time, I get the
performing itch and miss the stage. My first time at university, I was a
vocal performance major minoring in theatre. I use to do community
theatre around here and a little bit of modeling, though I never liked
modeling, did it mostly because my mom wanted me too. My life has taken
different routes, and though they are not the original routes I planned
to follow, they are good nonetheless. Anything leading away from Ross
and Declan would have been the wrong direction. Now I write and find a
new way to entertain.

My first concert was also Peter, Paul, and Mary.
And I have to agree .. Your voice is lovely and I do hear that Mary
Travers
vibe.))) a joy to listen to.
