Influences
I love lyrics and melodies that have a sense of graceful soul. I was influenced mostly by: Ella Fitzgerald, Dwight Yoakum, Martina McBride, Tracy Chapman, Michael Jackson, The Beatles, Steve Miller Band, Elvis, U2, CCR, the Police, Peter Gabriel, Patsy Cline, Alanis Morrisette, Janis Joplin, John Mayer, Lauryn Hill, Aretha Franklin and then recently:Acoustic Foo Fighters, Patty Griffin, The Dixie Chicks, Joss Stone, & James Blunt.
I tour alot, and this year I am going to Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Germany, the Czech Republic, Canada & the USA. There are tours and stories and diaries and albums and videos and songs and pictures at: www.melaniedekker.com. I LOVE to play and meet the people and uncover the emotions that I write about. I am described as an adventurous romantic and I like that as I believe that there needs to be more of that EVERYWHERE! I want to explore and share and give. We die with nothing so the other stuff is just stuff.
I spent three years at a commercial jazz music university & this got me even more excited about music. I play guitar (Big fat acoustic Taylor and every now and then Fender telecaster, a just got a banjo!...), I have performed 1000's of shows and some with famous people (Faith Hill, Chaka Khan, Bryan Adams). I am living my dream! "You"ll never never know if you never ever go"-Dr. Seuss.

CountryHome Forum have more than 5,000 members. Each news you submit to CountryHome Forum will released to my weekly Newsletter with more than 50,000 readers.
Please submit your artist news and events to CountryHome Forum to help your artists to get well known better in Europe. If you do not have the time to submit your artist news and events by yourself, please send it me to: Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de and I will submit them by myself to CountryHome Forum.
I know that many artists from North America don't have their music videos uploaded to German video websites. The most popular websites are MyVideo.de and ClipFish.de. That means your European audience does not have the chance to find them.
I understand that most of you don't speak German and are not able to upload videos because of the language barrier. If you would like me to upload your videos to the German video websites, please let me know.
Thanks
Christian

You have surely heard about the tragic death of a brave young woman who was murdered in Iran just for peacefully protesting with her father on the streets of Teheran.
UGH! It's just that he picks the damnedest (I know it's not a word) times to take a nap. I am STARVING and I didn't plan on cooking because my dad gave us a gift certificate to go to Ruby Tuesday and we had plans to go. I tried to wake him up over an hour ago and he's still laying there. I'm moving on from annoyed to pissed off! anywayz, it went good. We got stuff for our wii. How was yours? know what sucks? that IM supposed to be the one that knows about "web-stuff" and your profile is better than mine? Maybe I should just let you take care of mine like mom does Dan's...ohh, that reminds me, speaking of mom; i finally got her to start taking those surveys online like i'm doing, cuz i know the extra money sure comes in handy. you should really try em. i mean, if i got mom to try it, psh, i can get anybody to, heh..i guess you'll have to type the link into internet explorer or whatever, but here it is:
