Bless Dell and the 3-year extended warranty that I bought, because I think the laptop might be on the mend. But for the short term, getting online is difficult, and recording “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” is impossible. I still hope for a Christmas miracle that involves my laptop returning to a full state of health before Christmas Day!

At least I’m not in Maryland, snowed in with nothing to do, like my parents and brother. For them, I hope for a Christmas miracle that involves a snow plow.

For you, I hope for the Christmas miracle that would best serve your life. Happy Holidays, peace, and many, many blessings to you.

Beginning January 6th, I’ll be playing 6:30pm Wednesdays at bd’s Mongolian Grill, Easton. Students get unlimited stir-fry for $10.99 with student ID. If you’re in the Columbus area, stop by and check it out. Delish!

See y’all on January 6th!

Life is changing, and it’s changing quickly. I’m going to try my best to squeeze in a recording of “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” because I love singing that song. But between increased responsibility at church, Christmas shopping, a sudden influx of potential gig opportunities, and business planning, I honestly don’t know if I will find the time before Christmas day.

Currently, this is my ongoing gig schedule. I will post new gigs as they are scheduled, and eventually I’ll get a calendar going. I do expect to play a few dinner engagements beginning in January, and I’m looking forward to it.

Mon’s, 11:30am – 1:30pm at Potbelly Sandwich Works in Gahanna
Tue’s, 11:30am – 1:30pm at Potbelly Sandwich Works in Gahanna
Thu’s, 11:30am – 1:30pm at Potbelly Sandwich Works at Easton Town Center
Fri’s, 11:30am – 1:30pm at Potbelly Sandwich Works at Easton Town Center
Sat’s, 12:00am – 2:00pm at Potbelly Sandwich Works at Easton Town Center

If you are in the Columbus, Ohio area, drop by. I’d love to see you.

Have a blessed holiday!

I’m on a mission. I am making some adjustments in my career priorities. I should have an interim schedule in place by January, and then my “final” schedule in place by March. Obviously, as a professional musician, my work schedule is never “final,” but this March milestone will be a major change. I plan to post and talk about it in detail after the change actually comes to pass.

Meanwhile, I’m busy trying to make it all happen. I haven’t been able to record anything for your listening pleasure in the last month, even though I have that shiny new Echo with its crystal clarity! Consider me on hiatus for the moment.

Happy Holidays!
Michelle

I was playing with my new Echo this morning, and this is what I came up with. This is probably about the thirtieth take, because I couldn’t figure some things out. I’m still on the learning curve.

Although this is the first recording of this song, it is not representative, as the song is intended for heavy electric guitar, drums, and bass. However, it captures the song in its initial acoustic form, and it displays the ability of my most recent audio recording equipment, the Echo AudioFire4. If you don’t have one of these, you need to get one. It ROCKS.

My friend Robert Waltz wrote the lyrics to this song, called “Is This Thing On?” For those interested, Robert’s greatest musical influence is Bruce Springsteen. Enjoy!

This one is about a week old.

Finally, a new original song. Enjoy!
