"Only what we manage to do lasts, what love sculpts from us; but what I count, my rubies, my children, are those moments wide open when I know clearly who I am, who you are, what we do, a marigold, an oakleaf, a meteor, with all my senses hungry and filled at once like a pitcher with light." -Marge Piercy

Hey there! Alyssa has a new website, and a temporary home (while she struggles desperately to understand html) - check it out at http://web.mac.com/hxquarter - lots of news about me on podcasts, plus all the other goodies that tend to appear on music pages. Enjoy!!!
A little something about me that won't go in the press kit: I am a self-deprecating, over-educated grammar-nerd. I love Tom Waits, obscure and arcane words I can use to confuse my enemies, rare books, whiskey poetry (see: Charles Bukowski), actual whiskey, being married, watching my 2-year-old sister learn to speak, playing the piano until my fingers bleed, full-contact knitting, my spandex superhero suit (despite its unforgiving nature in the hips), jumping out of planes (yes, really), cooking (no, not really - but can I substitute "eating"?), dreaming of flying machines, enormous dogs, Salman Rushdie, Rachmaninov and the smell of aging paper. I wish I lived in Salzburg, quit being so hard on myself, owned a Harley (and the guts to ride it), could speak fluent Italian (I'm working on it), and played professional poker. I consider among my influences (and heroes and mentors) Mr. Waits, Leonard Cohen, T.S. Eliot, Bruce Hornsby, Eric Whitacre, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Nelson Algren, Rilke, Tennyson and my father. Someday soon I will figure out how to use my new Mac and record the 12-ish new songs that have been sulking in the corner since I wrote 'em (ah, neglectful me). Visit my website at www.alyssahendrix.com or join my mailing list (send the word "join" to mailinglist@alyssahendrix.com) to keep up with the news. Oh - and I've started composing again. Mostly choral, for now. When I find 100 people crazy enough to sing my songs, I'll let you all know that too.
I think u'll enjoy this one. It's pretty cool but also a little creepy too LOL. You'll need to follow these directions EXACTLY to get the proper results. Put the followwing into the address-bar of your web-browser. Type ur favorite number between 1 and 999 & then type a dot & then type your favorite color & then type a dot & then type one word that best describes your mood & then type a dot & then type the word retwistic & then type a dot & then type com & then click enter. Let me know how it turns out for you.
Come hear Alyssa on Sirius Satellite Radio, on my show on Channel 102 at 9:30...or you could hear the show now, for free, at The Jersey Toddshow or here
Dude...Your drummer wants back inside the circle! Holy crap! That's a great piece of music...keep up the outstanding work! If you get a chance...Jake and I have been doing some recording lately...I want you to come into the studio and track some vocal harmonies at Gravity...Say "YES"...you know you want to! C'mon! It'll be tickles and pinches!
The songs here sound great, and I can't wait to hear your choral and piano music. CONGRATULATIONS on your new life... there is nothing that compares to doing that which you love.
