It's been an active and hot summer here in Northern California so far!
And now that we are at the midpoint when the nights are so fine...I'm soaking up the feeling and really taking it all in.
My gardens been coming up with harvest and I am eating off the land almost entirely.
I've had my hands full with sending CDs to radio stations around the world as well as my personal travels. Moneys tight but the music is mighty!
Las Vegas was a blast and great adventure for collecting video and rock and roll exploration.
My 1978 VW Camper bus keeps me busy on weekends for overnights at the beach as well as other awesome places. I play music everywhere I go, and creating is never better than in the great outdoors, so I am in my element as the summertime girl that I am.
It's a great place to get my thoughts straight and to be inspired as to what to do next... so I love every minute of the journey.
Last weekend I had the extreme blessing of attending a Cowboy Junkies concert.
They are my favorite band, I love their music, and I've seen em a bunch of times.
I do my best to attend their delightful show every year as they tour around.
They usually play outdoors where I see them and so it feels great to sit under the stars and open and close my eyes and just listen, taking it all in.
Every year Margo greets fans after the show and it's great to meet up and say hi.
I make it a point to gift them my latest and greatest cd just for the sake of sharing.
I do dream they one day might open for me - (smile) I think it would be an excellent bill!
Anyway...that was the 17th of July. Now it's the 21st.
I'm in motion moving and growing in my natural state,
I'm a wild one baby till Judgment day!
(That's from "Jungle Love" off my new CD "March On".)
But the recent picture above is of course, MARGO AND I.
Look, we're wearing close to the same color shirts!!!
Beauty girls if you'd ask me! Great show...loads of fun!
Next thing I'd like to show ya'll is this great painting my close friend Alison Daniel created of the great guitarist/musician, Mr. Tom Landry.
Tom has been a major contributor to my music and sound.
He is one of my best friends and I just love him dearly!
I believe you are going to be hearing and seeing a lot of Tom in the years to come, with all his exceptional talent and positive energy. We love this painting and feel Alison did a great job of capturing his look and character. I hope you like it too.
Well that's it for now.
Stay tuned for more news and blogs in the months ahead.
Stay in touch and keep that feedback coming!!
Lord knows we run the gamut!
Have a great summer and take it slow and light...
Enjoy yourself and love your neighbor... that's my advice!
Kisses always, kristin
