Kenny Edwards, when he's not too busy. Joel Tepp, when I am up north, or he's down south. Recently I got to be "in the band" with Caroline Aiken, singing harmony, which is one of the best things ever.

According to Mr. Edo Castro... "I'm glad to know that there are artist out there, like Rebecca who genuinely continue the craft of the vocal artform we know of as the "Singer/Songwriter." "Turning Around" is a joyous meal for the ears. Elusively she plays all musical fields because she can. And why not? Like a great meal each song is a wonderful bite into her world, causing you to wonder what all the spices are that gives this lucious tid bit it's flavor. Let go, be in the moment and Rebecca will do the rest. (What's for dessert?)"
Award-winning songwriter and recording artist, Rebecca Troon, is happily working on her 2nd CD with the great producer, guitarist and songwriter, Kenny Edwards.
Her goal is to be a source of love, inspiration, and healing through music.
As a grateful survivor of,"Just about everything!", she considers herself extremely lucky just to be here, and luckier still to get to be a musician.
I see we have Red Molly in common on here. Have you had the chance to see them perform? I saw them at a house concert in S. Florida and they were incredible... you couldn't slip a playing card between the harmonies... I think I have a li'l crush on Abby ;-) *blushes*
Dear Friend Rebecca, thanks for being my friend, you do marvelous music and sings with a passion and a glow that..s amazing. Today I ordered those of your records that was possible. I love the song with You and the banjo and of course "River of Life". Wish you a lovely week!
Dear Friend Rebecca, well if I dont understand Italien, I do get the message. And anyone who is for a Free Tibet is my friend.
Your songs I do understand and you do them exactly as I like the American Folk style with banjo and guitars and a lovely voice. I actually meet Pete Seeger and he is all I want to be. The song "Im a gonna wrap myself in paper... , is my favourite.
Hello Rebecca: I wanted to thank you for sharing your songs and your experience with us at Nicola Gordon's songwriting class. You were very thoughtful in preparing for this and I know that you helped everybody in the class with some very practical advice and with some contagious positive energy towards writing songs and tapping the creative energy inside all of us. I hope you reap great karma points in your life for what you gave us. Arturo
I greatly appreciate you and welcome to my network. Your music is beautiful, simplicity for sure is beautiful. The obvious to you should be that I do want to be your friend also.
You should go ahead and lift the weights. It helps lift your spirits even higher and helps your mental, physical and emotional state. To you my friend I say, get rid of those 5 lbs. :-) Move it on up.
Thank you so much for what you've said. That is the sweetest thing EVER! Things like that bring tears to my eyes. Thanks for such great and hopeful words. They touched my heart and soul.
Mr.Lucky Bones just rated you *HOT*
