Show N' Tell and all the other randomness...
Hey Yall-
I have decided that my blogging funk is over!
To celebrate this I will play Show' n Tell- (the grown up way)
because there is alot of stuff to Show and Tell you!
This is also a random post because...
well just cuz! Let's get started shall we?
I'm going to start off with a BIG fat Praise the LORD!!
becaise God spared my life on this last trip.
He we are sitting in this little bitty teenie weenie
prop plane and then BAMMMMMMM!
BOOOOOOMMMM! POOOOOWWWW!
AHHHHHHHHH!!! OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD!
WE'RE FLIPPING OVER!! AHHHHH!
We got caught and hit by the biggest thunderstorm
and lightning. Our keyboard player saw the storm
when it was on the side of us and recorded a lighting
show on his camera- it was amazing... until it hit us.
The pilot never warned us and the attendant was crying...
The pilot was so shook he damn near fell out of the sky landing,
I left my jacket on the plane I was trying to get off so fast,
ANNND since it was so late when I got there-
I had the driver take me to anything open...
and good ol' Wendy's got me sick as a dog!!
It was waaaay deep. I can't even speak on it anymore so...
Praise the Lord.
MOVING ON...
The show went well. It was sooooo cold- surprisingly.
And of course I don't have a coat anymore so I was freezing!
Here I am playing around before the show-
(I dont remember what we were doing but
I was clownin' around and Joey snapped this)
And because we allll were so freaked out (STILL)
we hit the bar in a MAJOR way.
I took bar pics with some of the folks around me...
(Me and C.C. our bass player)
(Me and Doug our backline tech)
(Me and Mikey our road manager)
(Me and my homegirl Malania)
I have other photos in the crypt... but some of the
folks did NOT want to be on the blog looking as
SMASHED as they were so I'm respecting that.
I went a couple of other places (Houston, Detroit)
But they were private and I didn't take pics.
Anyway,
Tuesday night I wanted to feel the energy of Hollywood
in all it's glory so GLAM and I hit the town and went to
The Belmont. Ms. Thang knows all the Hollywood hotspots!
As we celebrated life, our industry jobs, freedom-
(hell-you name it- it was celebrated)
we were Grey Goose Martini Princesses and the belles of our ball.
In our rock girl jeans, 4 inch stilettos and cashmere sweaters...
MAN! Grown and Sexy personified : )
We laughed...
And ate...
and I felt fabulous!
Then...
Yesterday I had a studio session with George Duke.
(I also am the singer for the George Duke band.)
Mr. George as (he hates but) I love to call him is
just a music Genius! I so heart him!
(George Duke and Eric Zobler)
(Me and "Mr" George)
(Me in the booth)
Eric Zobler is one of THE BEST recording engineers
in the business! Of the top 10 he's like 4 or something like that.
And he's pretty fun too!
Ok now That I have updated yall-
this W.C.G. (west coast girl) is OUT!

Well, what can I say, I guess I will go in sequential order.
Praise the Lord is RIGHT. That is an awesomely beautiful picture in it's own right. However, geez, if the FLIGHT attendance, the voice of Cool, was getting upset and in tears, it was super serious, yo.
I always love your pictures and the way you describe things. Like a thin slice of heaven for me (in HR hell).
Those pictures and where you and glam went are spectacular! Both of y'all are photogenic, Tam is too, unlike yours truly.
And as for George Duke.
Well you know the deal on this.
I will shell out GOOD money to see you sing the female lead on "No Rhyme No Reason".

I found you over at CeCe's blog and was so excited to come by and see George Duke! You're playing with some major, major talent and you look like you're really keeping your feet on the ground while you do it!

Show N' Tell (the grown up way) That's too cute. The pics are fabulous as always.
Glad to hear that you're ok. Sounds like a scary flight. I haven't drank in about 3 or so years but after a flight like that I'd probably hit the bar too, and I'm sure I'd STILL be drunk as I typed about it.
And I'm sure I'm not the ONLY one waiting for you to post more snipets of your music. *hint hint* smile!

Wow I'm glad you made it to your destination in one piece. I bet that lightning store was horrible, nothing like following that up with some drinks.
Welcome back!

Hey Gurl,
I had the radio on this morning as I was hopping into the shower and I heard you singing the "Woo Woo Woo" song with Jeffery. (After listening to your voice everyday when we were working together...it was unmistakable). So I was like "hey, why is the Diva's voice coming out of my radio"....because it sounded live. I had to turn off the shower to listen....then I found out that it was the Tom Joyner show and they were brodcasting something you did recently in Atlanta. You better be glad....because if you came to Houston to perform and didn't tell me...you know you would be on BIG punishment. You sounded great and that was just a preview of things to come. Your CD is on the way and then everyone will get to hear "THE VOICE". Luvs Ya
