I am a lover of music. I have been a musician for about 15 years now and I still haven’t come close to really imagining all of its possibilities. I am continuously in awe of the way people have approached it and embrace it. I have learned to appreciate how it moves, inspires, and drives people of all ages to dream and love how it can soothe my soul. While I would someday like to share more of my art with the people that I love, I also would like to continue learning about the differences and similarities of the styles of music. I love making new friends whether it be on MySpace, Facebook, or Wordpress (http://jennifernicolette.wordpress.com) and I look forward to future collaboration projects with whomever is interested! (HINT: Please let me know if you are!) Blessings to you, those of you whom I have never met...perhaps we shall meet someday.
Welcome to my little corner of the web.
MY FAVORITE OF THE MONTH: Over The Rhine - Hallelujah (Written by Leonard Cohen)
Hey Jen, I love the song "I came for you". I think I might "Nadrianize" it and send it to you on tape. (just kidding) I do love the song. Much love, Your sis, N
Hey Jennifer, thanks for your kind words. Did you catch Laurel's show at the Common Cup? Wasn't she great? You've got some great songs on your page, good luck with everything. See you on the 12th!! love, my dear disco
I apologize for laughing.. I only laugh to keep from weeping (know what movie that's from?).. I actually miss the snow very much and if I got several inches over here even in the middle of summer, I'd be thrilled. ;)

Thanks for the notice, doll. I'm working at The Violet Hour in Wicker Park. It's really different this place. They're also tied in with 2 other prestigious restaurants in the downtown area called Avec and The Blackbird. I have the option in the future to work at any of those restaurants as well. Pretty cool, huh?!

I don't know what picture to put up. I'd like to have a recent one, but I hate the way my hair currently photographs. I will put one up by the end of the week. Thanks for the reminder.
