We didn’t start singing and playing guitar while still in the womb, we haven’t been hailed as the new Dylan and we aren’t American Idol friendly. We’re a couple of empty-nester baby-boomer back-porch songwriters turned street performers turned full-time touring musicians. We don’t chase radio hits, we don’t write for others, we don’t wear fish bowls on our heads. We write songs, we perform them, we laugh as much as possible. We travel with a small beagle and a large cappuccino maker.
Our graphics designer asked us if we wanted a CD cover that would please our audience, or please us. We said us. He seemed distraught. We understand. We love him anyway.
Our radio promoter warned us that putting electric guitar and saxophone on the new CD would alienate some folk radio hosts. We felt that each song should be produced how we heard it when we wrote it. He was delighted. We love him.
Music promotion people say we are destined to fail. Fail? Worst case for us is we die having written a lot of songs we love without anyone having heard them. We don’t think that would have bothered Woody Guthrie, and it doesn’t worry us.
We do have a history that includes accolades, reviews, awards, successes (and failures) and other worthless opinions that usually show up in a glossy bio. We'll tell you how to get it, if you really want it. But who are we, really?<>
Work hard at what you like to do and try to overcome all obstacles Laugh at your mistakes and praise yourself for learning from them Pick some flowers and appreciate the beauty of nature Say hello to strangers and enjoy the people you know Don't be afraid to show your emotions laughing and crying make you feel better Love your friends and family with your entire being they are the most important part of your life Feel the calmness on a quiet sunny day Find a rainbow and live your world of dreams always remember life is better than it seems. Have a beautiful Monday! Love and Blessings, Debra
Happy Friday ~ Have a beautiful day! Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns. ~George Eliot Peace and love ~ Debra

Happy Thursday ~ May your day be filled with the fragrance of friendship... sweet and beautiful. A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world. ~ Leo Buscaglia A flower's appeal is in its contradictions - so delicate in form yet strong in fragrance, so small in size yet big in beauty, so short in life yet long on effect. ~ Adabella Radici May all the beauty of the world and your friendships be yours, everlasting. Sending love, hugs and kisses ~ Debra
