Christmas in the Head, Na, Na, Na, Naa . . .

I have to put Christmas music on these days just to drown out the carols in my head! Yes, the music is nonstop, 24/7, even in my dreams. I was just wondering if it was just me or if any others out there are experiencing this phenomenon. In my large collection of holiday tunes, of course I've got my favorites. For the past 24 hrs. it's been: SO THIS IS CHRISTMAS, AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE, ANOTHER YEAR OVER, A NEW ONE YET BEGUN, NA NA NA NAA, and repeat. Then, A MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR, NA NA NA NA NA NAA, NA NA NA NA, NAA. :-D ! !

A New Christmas CD To LOVE!

I just received The Bluebird Bells, "Ringing for Peace" CD on Wednesday; hot off the presses from Nashville Tennessee! I couldn't be happier with the music and the use of my image for the cover design. This new release is packed with a wide variety of holiday tunes (18 in all) from "Nashville's New and Undiscovered Talent". Unique renditions of standby favorites coupled with some fresh and exciting compositions will surely help to put you in the holiday spirit. The quality of sound is super and the quantity is limited, so go here to listen to a selection of the music and then go here and order your copy today before they sell out. (They would make great holiday gifts!) A portion of the proceeds from each sale goes to The Wounded Warrior Project. The non-profit organization helps soldiers wounded in combat like one of the Bells' own, Sal Gonzalez, Jr, who lost his leg in Iraq to a bomb explosion. I've got to order more too, because I want to give them out as gifts and my hubby confiscated mine. He has had it in his van ever since. I'm afraid I'll never see it again. At least not until the holidays are long gone!

6 Year Old Guitar Master

Lucciano Pizzichini plays blues, Santana and Rock & Roll. See him here at only six years old! Although he's now playing electric and singing, his acoustic guitar playing (with no singing) is my favorite. His ability, rhythum and style far exceed that of any person I've ever seen of his age. Makes me want to pick up my old forgotten guitar again.


You know, I think it is a true trait of a master when they make you feel such a strong connection to what they do. I'm not implying that I'm a master, but one of the nicest compliments I get as an artist is when someone likes my work so much that they want to own it. I remember, years ago as a rider it was when someone would say; "You make me want to ride that horse." Well, Lucciano Pizzichini definitely makes me want to connect to that universal language of music and feel what he's feeling, even if it is just a little bit. Too bad I don't speak Spanish.
