Something about THE SONGS YOU HEAR FROM RED ROOSTER :
'Breakin' free' is about feeling desperate in a relationship and being hungry to find release and peace in mind
'Never Alone' is my favourite. It is also the titletrack of the fourth CD of RR. It's a song about someone in your heart, although he or she is not (anymore) with you.
Moanin' is about the saddnes of a broken love.
'Love is a word', 'When there is no hope' are two songs I sung in a collaboration with aeronaut. A friend since we were young...
Visit his space too ! You find him on my friends .
'On the wind' is a wonderful new arrangement from Henning (Blue Planet)who made his 'own' 'On the wind'. And I was invited to sing that song again.
It became a great new song ! You can visit his space ! Follow the instructions under this comments.

Jazz is really my favourite music. So , a lot of Jazzmusicians inspired me, like Keith Jarreth, Pat Metheny, Brad Mehldau, Jackie Terrasson, Diana Krall, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, ...
But most of all I'm influenced by love..The love for someone, for life, for music and everything that's beautiful.. Everything that touches the heart - my heart...
Hi, singing is what makes me feel good !! I have been singing since I was a three year old !!
My father used to sing songs of Louis Neefs , a Belgian singer with a deep and warm voice. My parents loved music, especially from crooners like Sinatra, Nat King cole, and many others. It's the music I've grown up with.
Music has always taken up a lot of space in our family. My brother Geert is a drummer in several bands. In our early youth we started our own band : Masters and Johnson, a funkband.
Singing is what gives me balance in life, it's healing me from all pain and sorrows and feels really meta-physical for me. I forget everything when I'm singing and it's a very natural way of life for me.
Singing is a way to express all my feelings. And when I'm singing : I am what I'm singing. I'm totally involved in every word, in every note.
I started singing in a professional way when I was 23. After the birth of my first daughter Maartje. And I never stopped singing and performing since then !
For 5 years I did the summerclasses from Jazzstudio in Dworp where I met a lot of musicians who became friends and colleques in Jazz. I took lessons from Deborah Brown, Judy Niemack, Judy Silvermann, Liliane Dorekens in the conservatory of Ghent and a few lessons from David Linx.
In the Academy of Aalst and Ghent I took lessons for piano.
I was the singer from Jazzphonic, a Jazzband with 11 musicians . For a year ,we were the houseband from the BRT-Radio, live on fridays from 6 to 7 pm.
We played with the magical The Platters.
I worked with a lot of Jazzmusicians like Peter Hertmans, Jan De Haas, Jean Van Lint, Peter Verhas, Pascal Michaux, Serge Lazarevitch, Vincent Mardens,Koen Liekens, Jeroen Van Herzeele, Clee Van Herzeele, Eric Vermeulen, the late Philippe Venneman, Ben Sluys, Jan Muës, the late Bart Zegers, Frederik De Smyter, the Jeggpap NO Band, Philippe Aerts, Dré Pallemaerts,Calvin Owens, Tars Lootens,....
And then blues became a big part of my life after a while. And for more than ten years I sang the blues...with RED ROOSTER. But life is like a stream :it's always moving and changing...Today Red Rooster became Scent of a woman..
Since a few months I'm working with Jef De Corte on a cycle of love and loss.
You can listen to that music on his space www.myspace.com/aeronautsounds
It is lovely music : a new challenge for me.
Hope you like my music. Enjoy it !
Love from me

So, you also write your own material Ann, then I'm even more impressed (and that's hard 'cause I was pretty impressed from the start), good lyrics and songs too. Yes, music is the essence of being, you can live without love if need be (even if it's hard) but you can't excist without music.
You have a marvellous voice Ann. I already new that from Jef's songs, but now I've also enjoyed the blue side of you. It's a nice set of songs you have here. Tell me, do you also write your own material? Thank you for adding me as a friend.
Hope all is well Great page here:) Sometimes we need just a little Sunshine in our lives. That is why I am wishing, on each and every calendar day, for smiles and sunshine to come your way! Thanks for the add Peace and love J.
