Song request savvy: What song should I sing?

This past Saturday evening, I had a great opportunity to play a music set for the 7th Annual Music Showcase to benefit Infinity Visual and Performing Arts Program in Jamestown NY. I had a great time playing some original and cover tunes, but I'm always on the trail of some new or old tunes to add to the set sheet.
After the show, I asked some friends if they would be so kind to give me some song titles they'ed love to hear me sing sometime. I received some great suggestions: Everyday is Sunday by Morrisey, Fastcar/Breakeven by Collie Callait, Suzanne Vega's "Small Blue thing" and an artist who is new to me - Adele with the song "Someone like you".

It's wonderful to be introduced to a vocalist of such unique and great quality, and an even bigger compliment that I should cover something so fine.



To hear a recent demo to my song "Home", click here. If you like what you hear there, visit my music page to hear some more. If you have a suggestion on what you'd like to hear me sing, please post your selections in the comment section below. Cheers!

St. Brigid Blessings on the Threshold

In preparation for St. Brigid’s day, I consider the blessings that are with us on the threshold.  What are the blessings, neither at the beginning or end, but in the middle.  In transitional spaces that take up most of our days? I think that the threshold can be a space of healing. An opportunity to see things in a new way. A river that takes us to new places of grace. May you feel the presence of love in your thresholds. May it flow from all our beginnings through to each end. May the space of threshold be a balm like lavender, healing our battle wounds. May we find healing in the inbetween. Healing lives on the threshold. #blessings #stbrigid #taralamontart
