Hello! Thank you for friending us, your music is very beautiful. Modern, but with a classic grace of technique with your singing, and I think I heard a little bit of the Cure in the lead guitar on "One Last Time". Make music always. Rob
How's it going? Well......, it's a little information. The compilation album "Round and Round" was released from my label "Far East Peach". My two tunes are included. "Pilgrimage" and "Life as which 234 was chosen". They are in my "My Space Module", so please listen it, if there is your free time.
You are AWESOME! And hotter than most Minnesota girls like to admit. LOVE IT!!! I see you are doing some MN shows. Please add me to your email list, so I can forward them to my peeps in Minne. Would love to get together with you for tea in the next couple of weeks if you are still in town.
smooth and sultry sister. i love the electronica-ish production with your voice it's a great match! so i watched your live video of you where you said you were just learning to play the piano and i'm totally inspired. i've always wanted to learn and i'm wondering did you take lessons? if so...where? have fun with your travels and let me know when you're in town : )
So glad to hear from you. I am glad you enjoyed the cd, I plan on recording another one next month. I really appreciate your music! I like the acoustic vibe on the first song, and the electronic ones are very soothing. Keep me posted on any shows here in LA, hope to see you soon!
It was lovely meeting you. You were the first person we met at the conference and we wouldnt have it any other way. I love the music, very image invoking.

Not to be able to stop thinking is a dreadful affliction, but we don't realize this because almost everyone is suffering from it, so it is considered normal. This incessant mental noise prevents you from finding that realm of inner stillness that is inseparable from Being..
Your mind is an instrument, a tool. It is there to be used for a specific task, and when the task is completed, you lay it down. As it is, I would say about 80 to 90 percent of most people's thinking is not only repetitive and useless, but because of its dysfunctional and often negative nature, much of it is also harmful. Observe your mind and you will find this to be true. It causes a serious leakage of vital energy..
Whatever the present moment contains, accept is as if you had chosen it. Always work with it, not against it. Make it your friend and ally, not your enemy. This will miraculously transform your whole life..
Hey laura! Just stoppin by to show some luv to ya. We see you're on quite the journey,pretty cool to see you're documenting your adventures! We'll start from the beginning and work our way to the present.
Your presence is a present to the world. You’re unique and one of a kind. Your life can be what you want it to be. Take the days just one at a time. Count your blessings, not your troubles. You’ll make it through whatever comes along. Within you are so many answers. Understand, have courage, be strong. Don’t put limits on yourself. So many dreams are waiting to be realized. Decisions are too important to leave to chance. Reach for your peak, your goal, and your prize. Nothing wastes more energy than worrying. The longer one carries a problem, the heavier it gets. Don’t take things to seriously. Live a life of serenity, not a life of regrets. Remember that a little love goes a long way. Remember that a lot..... goes forever. Remember that friendship is a wise investment. Life’s treasures are people.... together. Realize that it’s never too late. Do ordinary things in an extraordinary way. Have health and hope and happiness. Take the time to wish upon a star.
