Sounds Like
Slightly off beat, slightly out of tune, slightly sad with a whole heckuva lotta hot sauce. Like Tabasco style. Mixed with Chinese hot mustard. And chives. Ouch, I think I just got some in my eye... crap, where's a napkin when you need it?
Rachael, Rachael, Rachael. Let's not talk about that girl anymore. Let's talk about biohazardous waste materials, and fuzzy pink mittens, reunited at last. Here, have a listen.....
Here is a video that Zeca and I made for my Mama while I was living in Brazil:

"I asked God for strength, that I might achieve. I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey ... I asked for health, that I might do greater things. I was given infirmity, that I might do better things .. .I asked for riches, that I might be happy. I was given poverty, that I might be wise ... I asked for power, that I might have the praise of men. I was given weakness, that I might feel the need of God .. .I asked for all things, that I might enjoy life. I was given life that I might enjoy all things ... I got nothing that I asked for-but everything I had hoped for. Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered. I am, among all men, most richly blessed."
Hi Rachael - how are you lady ? I apologize I seldom visit myspace any more so did not see your post for the cafe gig. Would have loved to have attended. I was delighted to read you have a new band together & about the album. Fantastic! Please do keep us posted. I don't know how often I will get on here but I shall try. I am on facebook often if you have a FB acct. ??? Or shoot me an email at whiteswinery@aol.com Would love to hear from you.
Just dropping by to let you know that I have a new album out entitled 'Anitya.' It is currently available for download from Amazon.com. It is album consisting of ten acoustic folk rock songs with traditional east asian influences. It centers around the idea of anitya or impermanence in Buddhism, and the interaction between failure and ideals. So take some time and enjoy the new songs! peace,
