Cassavetes (Band)

Here is a teaser from the Cassavetes album FAJA BLUES. I sing harmony on a few songs, but this is my favorite. Enjoy!


Also, I'm collaborating with Robbie from Cassavetes, on a musical project called Book Club.

Session


I had the honor of going to a recording studio to sing harmonies on my friend's new album. The experience really inspired me to use my voice creatively, outside of my work environment. Teaching music really burns me out sometimes, but I'm at a pretty stagnant place right now, and I think I have a lot to contribute. I've got some potential projects in the works, so hopefully something tangible comes out of these ideas. For now, you can hear me on the new Casavettes album when it comes out. I'm the girl voice you hear in the background.
The red wall is no longer bare. My dear friend Jenny Watts painted this for me, knowing my contempt for the 20 foot red wall. I'll treasure it forever, even when I no longer have red walls (I can't wait).

Stand by your Van

The amount of media regarding the Toyota recall is a bit surprising to me. Cars get recalled, and then they get fixed. Ford and GM are offering incentives for Toyota buyers to trade in for a Ford. I'm sticking with Toyota, who took me 250,000 thousand miles before I bought my brand new Corolla. People are truly freaking out, and I'm concerned that the media attention is some sort of conspiracy to save American cars.
