Magical Moment 346, "Quiet Country"

Well today has been quite a day. I couldn't sleep last night, so at 12:30 am, I got out of bed and went to my music room. I decided to begin working on some instrumental tracks for the musical I'm playing for. This way, the cast will have a feel for what a full band will sound like, rather than just the piano they're dealing with now.

Fifteen hours later, I looked up from the computer and realized, it's 3 in the afternoon and I'm hungry. I was so focused, that I hadn't noticed the day is nearly gone. I recorded 13 instrumental tracks for the musical "Touch," to be performed this February at the 13th Street Repertory Company in New York City.

I decided to record my own voice on one of the shorter tracks so you all could hear what I've been working so diligently on. This is not an original song of mine, nor am I a member of the performing cast. I'm only helping with the music.

And now that my tasks are complete, I can relax for a few hours before I go to rehearsal. :) Take a listen and enjoy.

The real genius here is anonymous who apparently has nothing better to do than harass true talent....(insert sarcasm and eye roll).

Magical Moment 620, "Lilac Garden"

Eddie and I visited the Lilac Gardens at Ringwood Manor in New Jersey, a pristine and beautiful state park with 8 species of lilacs and several varieties within. We went on a rainy afternoon, which turned out perfect because the rain stopped for us when we got there, and began again as soon as we left. It also decorated the plants with gorgeous rain drops, adding to their beauty. And now for a quick game of "Where's Elizabeth?" And "Where's Eddie?" ~~Have a great weekend! ~~

Magical Moment 625, "Thailand - the Elephants"

Needless to say, my favorite part of our Thailand vacation, was our week long volunteering at Elephant Nature Park ! The logging industry was banned in Thailand in 1989, leaving thousands of elephants unemployed. These elephants are now used for tourism. You may have heard of elephant shows featuring the animals playing soccer or painting pictures with their trunks. They are no doubt amazing to watch, but the sad truth is that these elephants have gone through a series of torture and abuse to "break their spirit" by their trainers. This short clip is very hard to watch, but it will give you an idea of what the elephants in captivity in the country of Thailand go through. The only elephants in Thailand who do not endure this, are the very few baby elephants who are first generation born in "safe captivity" at places like Elephant Nature Park. Every other elephant at this park has been brutally abused. Some have been blinded by their owners, le...

"Tijuana, First-hand Facts of the Red-Tent Asylum Process"

My mind is so full of information that I want to share with you all from my week in Tijuana. This post will be just that, information. Factual and first hand. Witnessed and experienced by me. Thousands of migrants from all over the world, mainly from Central America, have traveled to Tijuana’s west U.S. port of entry seeking safety, better economic conditions, and/or to be with family already in the U.S. My motivation for taking this volunteer trip was to help the families in the extreme asylum-seeking cases - those who live in terror and fear both IN their home country and FROM their home country. Gangs and governments work hand in hand to target and terrorize families for their own personal interests. There is a list. The list has numbers on it. Asylum seekers want to get a number from this list and they want their number to be called. Like a deli. I was incapable of finding answers as to who creates this list, who decides how many numbers are on the list, and basically any ot...
