First Take Friday Installment No. 2

I did make my video yesterday on the first take and I was just too ashamed to share so I'm going to give myself a backup plan with Serendipitous Saturdays. Serendipity n. the faculty of making fortunate discoveries by accident. Yea. Serendipity. The fortunate discovery will be a new day. The discovery by accident will be a better recording. It won't be accidental but I just like the way Serendipitous Saturdays sounds.

Yesterday I reminded myself that failure is a necessary part of success. Today I woke up, went to bootcamp, had coffee with my favorite bootcamp girls Ashley and Natalie and did my first take again.

Enjoy. Here is the Corrente from J.S. Bach (1685-1750) G Major Partita BWV 829.

To my buddy Bach, ten million times thank you. I wish you were still alive so I could give you a big fat sweaty bootcamp hug/kiss.

First Take Friday Installment No. 1

Tonight I had dinner with my new friend Carrie Contey. She's incredible and will help you be more effective with your parenting if you need that www.carriecontey.com Midway through our meal upon admitting that I am a bit of a procrastination princess when it comes to MY music she simply asked, "What are you waiting for?" Hmf. Nuffin. Tonight I would like to invite you to my first installment of First Take Friday. This idea stems from my secret wish to hear all artists on the first take. All the good and all the bad. This to me is a true representation of who you are and what you are capable of doing. And it's just really raw. I love that. Plus with just one take you don't have time to get your panties in a bind! Always good. This idea was also inspired by another amazing woman Liz Garton Scanlon children's book author. www.lizgartonscanlon.com She shares her art every Friday by writing a poem. I think that's cool. Thanks ladies! Oh yea...all videos WILL be the first take. Scouts honor!
