Paris at Seven... Song Sketch

Image from here

I recently sent a bunch of songs over to a film professor to see if any of his students or coworkers needed a composer/songwriter for any of their projects (hopefully a John Lasseter or Pete Docter in the mix!).

This is one I wrote for the reel - I adore accordion and think it belongs in far more music! This song made me think of busy rainy evenings, which we've been so lucky to have several of the last couple days. Such a welcome break from the endless Florida heat!

If you would like a copy of this song for you, just let me know in a comment! If it's your first request, please leave your email address as well.

Feel free to follow me! I promise only ever to lead you to bright, sunny places!

C'est Lui pour Moi, Moi pour Lui...Déjà vu... Song Sketch

I actually posted this song way back in September of last year and I thought it was due for a re-release!

I just posted up about wanting a vacation to the seaside and had several readers say they were longing for a European vacation so I thought that this would be a free trip to Paris, at least musically! And who couldn't forget this sung in Sabrina? Trés romantique!

P.P.P.S. No, I do not look like what I did in these photos... I have a much rounder belly right now! Just in case you were confused! ;o)

Paris in the Springtime

As I wait for my album to get fully mastered and then uploaded to iTunes, I thought I'd reveal little parts to the album along the way! Here are some photos from the photo shoot I did for my album. The weather was absolutely perfect for my photographers and me to travel to Paris (well, ish) and take some photos. Here are a couple of pics out of my favorites! I'll save some for the unveiling of my completed website.

Now What?

Just saw Julie and Julia. And loved it. Now, I know there are plenty of reviewers that thought it was too happy and cheerful (including the reviewer at Orlando Weekly who has the wisdom to love my music) but, really, can anything be? (Too happy and cheerful, that is.) I loved it all - the food (of course!), the settings (ah, Paris), the happy marriages (sigh, l'amour) and the heavy- conflict-free plot-line. We live in a world with, yes, sad things but we also live in a world of completely wonderful things. And aren't the news and NY Times bestseller fiction books covering all the sad things? We need more happy thing-coverage!

Anyways, I thought this movie was a delightful example of happy thing-coverage. I'm not going to review the movie or anything but there was one thing that stuck with me in particular (besides the food, happy marriages, Paris, etc.): when the beyond-marvelous Julia Child gets a major letdown (hope that is vague enough not to constitute as a spoiler), she responds by saying, "Well, boohoo. Now what?" How fabulous is that?! When I get rejection (which, though some of you may believe never happens to me, actually does), I've decided to say,

"Well, boohoo, Emma. Now what?"

I've been interviewed...

You can read my recent interview at Unsigned, the Magazine's website.  Very lovely!

I'll be in Paris next week hopefully lining up shows for the summer so if you try to contact me during the next week, I won't get back to you.  But it won't be for lack of love- just lack of Internet access.

Check back in because I'll be setting up shows for the end of April.
