Hello Everyone,
Life is good and oh such a journey. I am at present with my beautiful grandchildren Selah and ISa. As you can see on my pics. I enjoying painting and photography here and there along with my songwriting and performing for local charity. Also have returned a bit to acting. Last august HBO film "Taking Chance"with Kevin Bacon. Well yes it was acting...acting like that wasnt "Kevin Bacon" a few feet away from me on the plane scenes. Very much a gentleman"
I love Montana and am thankful of all good things and people in my life.
I started writing in 1989 while practicing a few chords with my fathers Guild given to me by my mother.
Following serious injurys including an auto accident.
Me the guitar, four walls, and a captive spider on the cieling"
Well thats it I have been writting ever since then.
Through inspiration and all that life has brought me through.
It has been my constant companion, songwriting" .
I have survived many a trevail thanks to it.
I have Produced small shows artists"in coffee Houses and in a Theater here and there.
Most fun with my sister Mary Gabriel the other half of the "Central Nervous Sisters" and Bri anna my daughter who graced the shows as a teenager with her wonderous vocals and presence.
I have played throughout the U S and in Montreol Canada"where I was first offered a record label with FX studios"back in 1993 or was it four?
I have met some wonderful artists and mentors and have been most blessed with continual support and encouragement in my endeavors.
I have and will continue to do Benifit Concerts helping community and Nieghbors.
I love performing in a small intimate atmosphere where I can reach my audience with the outpouring of my hearts song and so look forward to reaching all the more so in days to come.
.
As always thanks to my amazing fans, some whom I have yet to meet!
I hope everyone there is feeling better... The lady to talk to at the Emerson is there on Monday at 9:00 am (I think?) I'll get a hold of someone in Sandpoint on Monday. Been busy writing/recording movie music and notating for full orchestra. took some time today to plug away at a short film I wrote called "Bear Trap" lots to do still for that one... Important to think of fun projects to do!
Katherine, I always enjoy interviews :) I'll send you a link when it comes out! Am tied up for a couple days and then I'll book a you a few more performances for your June tour. Did you get a photographer yet?
Hi, your songs are great Vg's brush yeah !! We can come to Montana , that would be cool, let me know, we're up for alot this winter and fall. thanks for the comment , you rock !
Send away Kathawren! I think I gave you an address half a year ago or somewhere like that :) I'm actually recording up at the Cutter Theatre in Metaline Falls, Washington on Monday and one more time in the next week or two. Must get my new CD to sound the way I have it in my head before October ends... The postman is reliable but Monday would probably not arrive in time. The next recording in a week or so would though so it would be completely possible to add piano while my gear is already set up on a acoustically perfect stage with a great piano! Let me know if you still have the address I gave asap. If you do not I'll get that again.
Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?
A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:
Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella
Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.
Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today.
