For those of you who like k.d. lang, I highly recommend her newest release, Hymns of the 49th Parallel. I've been listening to it on Rhapsody today, and it's beautiful stuff!

It was very thoughtful, and very very very good! I love stuff like that. A story.. ruh roh, ya triggered raye ellen again!

A few years ago on an iVillage board far far away one of our regular posters did not make an appearance. We wondered where she was. We were a pretty close bunch, and most of us still communicate, we've visited in person, etc. Anyway, the next day she shows and we ask her where she was the day before.

Two days before we had talked about how the following day was the annual lgbt day of silence. One person remembered and honoured that day. A straight woman, out of respect for us who weren't. From the heart. I will never forget that gesture, it's sincerity, the altruistic nature of it, what a sweetheart she was... this is right from that place.

*hugs*

You played a 12 string? Shades of Leo Kottke! I couldn't pluck a one string... very impressive. If Melissa Ferrick ever plays anywhere around you, go see her. She is amazing to watch. I've seen her 4 times now, one with no amplification, and that was priceless.

As dor serenading Courtney, that reminds me of another who used to post here, and who co-hosted a board with me. She has an excellent voice, and would sing to her partner, but no one else had ever heard her. One day she called whilst driving about and proceeded to sing four songs to me. I'll never forget that, it was a kewl moment... her voice was indeed excellent. I'm amazed at the abilities of the people one meets out here.

I hope you take to playing more frequently... as for smoking pot, did you give up completely? I did 20 years ago, and don't miss it.

I stay away from it for the most part, 'cause I have a serious problem with it... but every now and then when I'm back in PA and with my friends from those days, I'll indulge.

(((awwwwwwwww Kim)))

My hope is that you will put it to music.

I to laid down my instruments a long time ago. My g/f noticed my returned interest in music again since I have been in therapy and she bought me a new guitar and a new key board.

I have been playing and yes, it is going to take time to get some of the rust out but I am determined to do it.

I also have a music writing program on my Mac and am writing relaxation music as assigned by my therapist. I can play my keyboard and guitar into the program too.

Your alterior motives are very sweet and I hope you will return to your music.

I would love to hear that song if you do someday put it to music. Not to pressure you or anything. lol.

I would be honored if you did put music to it.

Hugs,

Laurie
