I wrote my song, "Dear Mr. President" while touring through Texas - on the George W. Bush expressway outside of Dallas, Texas - the day the war officially started. When they announced it on NPR, I pulled over and wrote this song.
I just found it somehow, someway ended up on Neil Young's site at at 200 on the "Living with War" charts (out of 3,000+ I think) so that's pretty neat. Although I admit the live recording of it doesn't exactly translate well - i.e the sound quality is terrible!
Nonetheless...cooooool. I love you Neil.

p.s While googling myself tonight, I came my song (a live version) being played during this video:

lattes & garbage...
After a long beautiful day bobsledding with wonderful friends - I sit here at my computer trying to prioritize my life - my expat group, dibby out my career tasks - booking, publicity etc...
And whatta' ya' know - I come aross this - an article from a freelance writer in Austin, Texas I did side work for while I was living in Austin. Ahhhh side work. Sounds kind of naughty doesn't it?
As you my friends know, I have done everything from raising huskies in Alaska, fueling airplanes in Arizona to other goofy jobs like being a clown and having a dog-walking business.
So I guess this article is probably no surprise at all to you. But for me - to come across it while living in Europe, doing my music for a living and thinkin about "delegating" things in my life to make it easier - it was quite a hoot to find on google.
This appeared in American Airlines magazines. You know, those annoying magazines in the seat in front of you - you resort to reading because you didn't want to spend $5 on one in the shop.
Yes I know, my life is very glamarous. lol.
Although I have to say, getting a call from a best friend from my past that has since re-connected us - saying she read about me on the plane and was floored, was a nice little "side" effect.
Read down for the grub:
