   About Lucy Kaplansky
THIS PAGE IS RUN BY A FAN OF LUCY'S. I have her okay to create and maintain it. I'm just promoting her music. There are links to several places where Lucy's music can be purchased. My main objective here is to keep Lucy's music alive....the more places she appears on myspace, the bigger her fan base will be :) To hear more songs, visit Lucy's page at; www.lucykaplansky.com The link is available to the left of this page. Lucy's music can be purchased at most retail stores as well as on line through Amazon.com and Bestbuy.com. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lucy Kaplansky started out singing in Chicago bars. Then, barely out of high school, she took off for New York City. There she found a fertile community of songwriters and performers- Suzanne Vega, John Gorka, Bill Morrissey, Cliff Eberhardt, and others- where she fit right in. With beautiful flare for harmony, Lucy was everyone's favorite singing partner, but most often she found herself singing as a duo with Shawn Colvin. People envisioned big things for them; in fact, The New York Times said it was "easy to predict stardom for her." But then Lucy dropped it all. Convinced that her calling was in another direction, Lucy left the musical fast track to pursue a doctorate in Psychology. Upon completing her degree, Dr. Kaplansky took a job at a New York hospital working with chronically mentally ill adults, and also started a private practice. Yet she continued to sing. Lucy was often pulled back into the studio by her friends wanting her to sing on their albums. Then Shawn Colvin, who was itching to produce a record, hooked up with Lucy, her ex-singing partner. They went into the studio, and it all came together. When Lucy's solo tapes got into the hands of Bob Feldman, president of Red House Records, he was blown away. Suddenly, Lucy was back in the music business. She signed with Red House and started playing gigs and touring so much it required leaving her two psychologist positions behind.

Dear Lucy Kaplansky,

Every time that we listen & write music... play an instrument... dance... act in a play... or work in some audio/image/video engineering process... something is healing inside...

When we share it with friends... something is healing all over...

Love can drive... in a simple way... everything

We are connected

Vibejays & Friends

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Estimada/o Lucy Kaplansky,

cada vez que escuchamos o escribimos musica... tocamos un instrumento... bailamos... o trabajamos en procesos de ingenieria de audio/imagen/video.... algo se sana por dentro...

Cuando lo compartimos con amigos... algo se sana en todas partes...

El Amor puede conducir... de manera simple... todo...

Estamos conectados...

Vibejays & Friends

Dropping by to wish you the best day ever and tomorrow do the same. If you have the means please give a couple of dollars to charity. Be it to fight Diabetes, Asthma, Cancer, Hunger, AIDS, or any other cause that touches your heart. I know of no better feeling than what you feel when you make another person’s day a little better.
