really rough drafts of songs sung by a lady in a coma
Due to an unexplainable appetite for poisonous apples, she fell asleep for a long long time. Now she is making noises in her sleep.

I would like to meet other musicians, artists, and poets. 'Choking on the Sun' (2008, Blind Lady Press) is a chapbook of poetry (accompanied by a CD) and can be bought through mail (message me for details) or at local independent Baltimore bookstores- Minas, Greetings and Readings, .... I am also a part of the poetry/music group Persephone's Voice. Musically, I am looking for other musicians to join SnowWhiteinaComa. More recordings can be found on macjams.com
After you've finished here, you may like to hear this folk-carol on myspace... Poem 230 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (see my blog for details): CHRISTMAS SUNG SIMPLY
As gospellers have said, Beneath signalling skies, On land dusty to tread, A trough in a stable Was the strawy first-bed Of a divine baby - The forgiving Godhead.
A season for new hope - There then and here now; The yuletide of goodwill - There then and here now.
In respect of this chance, Beneath bright or dark skies, Faith's the star that we glance Attending Christ's churches And trying to enhance, With singing and ritual, Our God-loving stance.
