Band members vary from venue to venue. Thanks to all who are gracious enough to play with me - your talents and dedication to Charlotte's music scene are incredible and most appreciated by me and everyone who hears you play! We will miss our friend, Dale Hillyard, who left us in April at the young age of 68.

______________________________________________________________
Marsha began her career in music in the Charlotte area in the early '70s. Continuing to expand her territory in the next couple of years, she travelled around central Florida with the blues band Maggie's Farm. She married a musician, and they began to play the Southern California venues with their band, Hobo's Jungle. For the next 5 years they were frequently heard playing the clubs in Oceanside, Carlsbad, La Jolla and El Cajon. Hobo's Jungle played all the acoustic-friendly blues and folk tunes that were then popular, as well as original songs. Marsha has done studio work as a vocalist and rhythm giutar player, and has performed for many functions important to her clients. Marsha has returned to her roots of folk, blues and country, as well as much gospel and praise music. She can be found playing guitar, alone or with friends, singing in various venues in Charlotte and the surrounding area, attending open mic nights, playing at various restaurants, clubs, coffee houses, private parties, weddings and civic functions. If you have a function in need of music, please contact Marsha here for more information.

I hope you like the first part of our “My Desire” Trilogy of cards. My Desire (Part 2) is entitled “Touch” and will be sent out at the end of next week. An announcement on part 3 will be made soon! Thank you for your support and encouragement which means so much.
“My Desire”
(Part 1.) “The Look”
“If I lived my life for one moment It would be for the look you gave me The smile that saved me from never Knowing what it would be like for a man To truly and completely Love. Your grace, your aura, had the Majesty of an Angel Guiding me from above Like a star, my guiding constellation, such elation as I watched you dance like the flame from A flickering fire, smouldering, your movement Beguiling, arousing, seducing My whole body shivered in the passion of Your total control over my emotions as they reached my soul. As the audience threw coins, praise and applause I waited, breathless, consumed by romance As you left the stage You gave me eternity. With just one glance.”
Wishing you “the look of love.”

“I take your faded letter from the folded envelope A touch tattered and torn. As I read it every day Paper worn, paper thin My Love strong, deep within. It’s all I have
“Meet me on Charles Bridge In the early morning. When it’s safe, I will come to you. The scent of our love is still in my room. X (Kiss)”
Everyday at dawn I walk through the cobbled streets Of this majestic grandiose city Step out across the roaring river Vltava In the hope of us being together One day as I walk through the early morning light I know you’ll be there Once more to share the glorious love Of days gone by and the passion of the night The past is gone The future is ours Through the misty clouds of daybreak My heart no longer aches For my love is here for you “Wait for me.” I will I do.”
(Charles Bridge, Prague, Czech Republic.)
Wishing you love and happiness.

Since you went away My love lies bleeding Your loss cuts through me Like a wounded warrior caught In a war that nobody needed Nobody wanted and where nothing was achieved.
I believed your love would last forever My hope danced in the wind like a pure white feather I never waivered or faltered and stayed resolute A prayer at the alter was left for you A song from my heart was sang for you A flower from my garden I now give to you I will try to start again Through my pain and anguish Hope springs eternal for those apart Heal me like nature Who knows what it takes To bloom, to mend, a bleeding heart.
Since you went away
My love lies bleeding
Your loss cuts through me
Like a wounded warrior caught
In a war that nobody needed
Nobody wanted and where nothing was achieved.
I believed your love would last forever
My hope danced in the wind like a pure white feather
I never waivered or faltered and stayed resolute
A prayer at the alter was left for you
A song from my heart was sang for you
A flower from my garden I now give to you
I will try to start again
Through my pain and anguish
Hope springs eternal for those apart
Heal me like nature
Who knows what it takes
To bloom, to mend, a bleeding heart.
