"Its Easy"

Singing, along with lots of things worth doing well, is pretty easy.
Its all natural and good for your body. Takes bunches of energy and
a bit of coordination to master but many can do it.

I think I sang for 6 n 1/2 hours today. What a workout!
You know when you know you've done a really good job and NOW you deserve a bit of rest?
I feel like that now.

A Job well done and all that...

For me, expressing who we are poetically is so much closer to being who we really are.
Its so much closer to the original blueprint, energetically.

All day long we juggle our schedules, pay bills, give n get directions. Meet, greet and say
How Are YOU? And none of it means that much. I mean, its fun in its own way.

But almost every lyric is packed with the energy I really feel and am.

Its important not to get too melodramatic when you really
mean what you're singing.

And the polarity would be: not to be mechanical or wooden and pretend you're not
singing about what you really love!

We all see through each other totally.
Especially on stage.

No hiding there.
Thank God.

When I'm singing its such a relief to be seen through.
And to share everything I am.

"Is Your Music Career Workin' For You?"

So, you really want to perform. You've rehearsed, done your homework. Worked up a few tunes and are ready
for your debut. Then, suddenly, something "comes up" and you might not be able to make
the performance after all.

Be suspicious! Be very suspicious!
You Wanna get the whole Creative Universe WORKING FOR YOU
and your success! Sending double messages "out" there actually
translates into slowing down how long it takes "success" to reach you
or can even create circumstances to WORK AGAINST what you said
you wanted in your life!

Open up the PEEPERS PEOPLE!

You and I create our world. We create what's in it and what's not.
How we perceive it is another obvious way we literally experience our
realities.

IF you've sent this GIGANTIC NON-JUDGMENTAL MACHINE the order
to co-create a singing or music career with you and for you by taking singing lessons, hiring musicians,
making sure there's a mic and even a few folks to listen to you and you
ALL OF A SUDDEN can't make the date....well...

Then you've sent ANOTHER (and the latest) message to this exact same MACHINE (your creative Universe).
Now it is wrangling with both messages. Which one has more energy? Cuz that's the one that'll get the most
creative response from the Creative Universe that you employ, as YOU, to do your bidding and create everything
in your world.

A double message slows EVERYthing down and dilutes what's served up on your platter.

IF there is ANYONE willing and able to listen to you sing, by all means,
SING FOR THEM!

And do not cancel...if for the simple reason of not sending double messages to your Universal Creating Machinery
who's only job is to deliver to you what you've ordered.

Have a heart.
The Universe is working overtime giving us exactly what we create! Every second!
Not totally aware of what energies you've been hauling around with you and tainting your creations
with?

Find out fast!!!!!


lol
((ok...you can cancel if you are DEAD or in the hospital))

Happy St Paddy's Day everyone!

"Self Motivated Singers"

Self motivated singers, like all self motivated people, do what they love whenever they like!
They choose their career. They don't necessarily wait to be chosen.

One of my favorite clients was being interviewed on
Fox News yesterday and this evening they ran promo's
during American Idol.

They showed him singing, playing drums and being totally awesome.

Nicolas Merritt is 7 yrs old. Neither his amazing parents nor myself can tell
you how and why so much is happening for this musician kid.

All they've said is that Nicholas is totally self motivated. He tells himself
to practice. He tells his folks "I'm a rock star. That's the way it is. I wanna play the drums.
Yeah, I'll sing."

7....yrs.....old.
Check Nico out at
www.myspace.com/nicolasmerritt
(he's the one with the Mohawk)

So obviously CLARITY COUNTS! lol

Everyone is so proud of him and very happy to be working with him!
OH yeah, he'll be playing Sat night for a full set with his Dad on 6th St
here in Austin. Two different News crews will be shooting his 45 min set!

How cool is this? His Dad is like "I can't even SLEEP at night
its so exciting!" and Nico is completely calm, smiling....calm.
Nicolas got his Dad to start playing again!
I guess my point here is that if you really would like to experience something or do something,
just go ahead! Don't figure out how its all gonna come together.
Just be clear.
Live it now!

Nicolas Merritt Rocks!
He's going to Calif next week to record.

He's on his way.
He is a self motivated musician...
and my pal (who learned how to control
his vibrato in under 7 minutes).
I am not kidding!
