should I apologize that I am a woman????

Listen to It's Sun demo and Green TEa demo...

and improv 1...

I am really doing improv...but you have to listen closely....

I just purchased a baby grand ...and I am doing all my recording alone...

I was not born into money...sorry about that too....

But life is grand...I am so happy to be here and alive...! Life is great...

Not unless I was to like a self-produced demo-quality Sandy Hurvitz/Ezzra Mohawk kind of thing with no real sense of nuance, spacing, and timing, no.

Sandy's album has already been here (at last) for over 30 years, but the news has not yet reached some quarters. More's the pity.

Hey - I'm no stranger to wackjobs who also happen to be pretty gifted. Nor am I a stranger to wackjobs who just THINK that they're gifted. I just wanted to see if she was as purely wack as she came across, or if she might really have something going on to go with it. One never knows...

She's got a good voice, that's for sure. Obviously trained and all that.

But having something and knowing how to use it are two different things....

Some of my favorite records are "self produced" and "demo quailty".

Well, sure!

But how many of your favorite records are self-produced demo-quality Sandy Hurvitz/Ezzra Mohawk kinds of things with no real sense of nuance, spacing, and timing?

Not many, I suspect! ;)
