Magical Moment 619, "Today is the Day!!!"


A common goal for any musician/singer/songwriter, is to record an album of their very own. I didn't realize how daunting of a task this would be when I set out to do just that 2 years ago. The songs were already written...how hard could it be to find a studio, producer, audio engineer, musicians, graphic designers, photographers, public relations specialist, cd duplication and distributors? Turns out, very. Yes, it quite a learning experience with steep curve. But I'm proud to say, that it's officially complete and ready for sale!

The album, "Silk in the Sky" is a 10 track album, 9 of which are originals. They are a collection of my personal favorite songs. I would categorize the genre as adult contemporary. It's very easy to listen to, with a touch of jazz, blues, and folk thrown in...and one Jewish lullaby for good measure. 

Here are the ways you can purchase the album:

1. Digital download of the entire album is available on amazon for only $6.99!
2. Digital download is also available on iTunes for $9.90.

If you prefer a hard copy and the use of paypal, 

3. You can visit ebay:
4. It will be on cdbaby.com  by April 12th
5. Or you can always e-mail me and I'll be happy to slip a copy in the mail for you. :)

You can listen to track samples at the above sites, if you like what you hear, I would be so grateful for your support in purchasing the album! Recommend it to your family and friends as well! There's my big plug. :)


A special thanks to Modern Vintage Recordings, especially to Jason Cummings, a remarkably talented engineer/producer who worked with me so patiently every step of the way and brought his ideas and expertise to the project in ways I could never have imagined!

My parents deserve so much thanks. They've completely supported every hair brained idea I've ever got into my head and do anything possible to help me reach my goals. My 2 beautiful grandmas, Mary and Shirley, are the most encouraging grandmas a person could ask for and I'm so happy to have them as a part of my life and as such an inspiration to me. And my sisters, Erica and Regina, and my best friend Deb, have always been my biggest cheering section! Of course, I would likely never be here at all if it weren't for Eddie. I may have given up long ago if not for his patient encouragement, and his help in figuring all this crazy stuff out with me! He's made my dreams as important as his very own, and for that I'll be forever grateful. 

I'm so full of thankfulness right now and can't wait to see what the future brings, and what new goals I'll set! Thanks to all the readers who have faithfully read about this long journey as I've blogged about it. The first post about recording an album was back on July 15, 2010! (Optimistic Gamble). I don't know what I would do without you!

Yay! Congrats to you, my friend.

As proud owner of my very own copy of this CD, so kindly delivered to me by the artist herself (top that Amazon!), I can vouch that it's a beautiful collection of music created and presented by the lovely Elizabeth.

May the next "crazy stuff" that you and your sweet Eddie have to figure out is how to keep up with countless sales.

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

Magical Moment 606, "Thank You Canada!"

After an intense week as a participant in the  Musician's Mentorship Program  with Canada's National Ballet School in Toronto, I am back in the good ol' US of A. The trip was a success, not only did I learn a TON in the program, but I got to see Canada for the first time, increasing my number of countries visited to 3! (Mexico and South Korea, if you're wondering about the other 2). I was surrounded by incredibly talented musicians who didn't hesitate to dish out their best advice, tips, and secrets to me. In addition, I was surrounded by some beautiful scenery and amazing sights. The trip got even better when Eddie flew out to meet me half way through the week, and even BETTER when I was able to meet up with a friend, known only through the blogosphere until now. Yes ladies and gentlemen,  Hilary of The Smitten Image  herself happens to live only minutes from where I resided in Toronto. I admit, it was a little like meeting a celebrity. I first "met" Hi
