		<title>Bricks and Mortar</title>
		<description><![CDATA[And I said to him: your silence is like a wrecking ball. Then I realized that no one can knock my house down. I&#8217;ve stood tall and strong for fifty years. I started thinking of how much damage I&#8217;ve done to myself: weight, unfulfilled promise of my talent, fear and lack of action. Sometimes I [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Wonderful Man has Died.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am sad today. A very dear man died over the weekend. He was a friend to the world of classical music, he was a reknowned expert and dealer of rare antique violins (Stradivarians &#038; Guarneris) and stringed instruments. He loved life. He loved rock n roll. He loved my singing. We had great affection [...]]]></description>

		<title>You Better Carry That Weight</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Weird day today. A friend, a good friend who I&#8217;ve known for decades expressed &#8220;worry&#8221; that I might drop dead from being fat. Actually she said: &#8220;I worry about you&#8221; and then proceeded to tell me that another friend wanted to do an &#8220;intervention&#8221; which I later found out was not true. It was handled [...]]]></description>

		<title>Whitney Houston</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am offended by the words of people who are so cavalier about the death of the great Whitney Houston. Statements like: &#8220;waste of talent,&#8221; &#8220;I don&#8217;t feel sorry for her&#8221; and &#8220;she blew it&#8221; shock and sicken me. It&#8217;s as if they have no compassion and seemingly revel in the demise of others. No, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Been Meaning to Write but Inexplicably Unable to Do So&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been so damn long since I blogged on here that I almost forgot how to use the dang software! Good news: I was asked again to join the cast of Tony Fitzpatrick&#8217;s final installment of the trilogy of his one man shows at Steppenwolfe Garage. The 2011 show &#8220;Stations Lost&#8221; got rave reviews and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Where did my summer go?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I know that time is not passing faster. We would have heard about that right? I mean some physicist would have published a paper announcing the discovery that time was speeding up, right? So, what the hell happened to the Summer of 2011? Is it because I am older that time appears to fly by [...]]]></description>

		<title>Amy Winehouse</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Amy Winehouse was found dead in her London apartment today. This is such sad news to me. I was so hoping she would find her way back and start creating more of her terrific music. I loved her voice and her songs so much. My niece called me and gave me the news. She said [...]]]></description>

		<title>Doing the Happy Dance!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Mushiness alert: this post contains expressions of such happiness and gratitude that they may make you puke. But I&#8217;m just too happy to give a damn! I&#8217;m so happy today. I am happy that I can sing. I am happy that I have so many wonderful people who care about me. I am happy that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Something is stirring&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m getting ready to get ready for my gig du jour, which happens to be a fundraiser for a wonderful Chicago creative institution: Chicago Dramatists. Their Blue Moon gala will be a smaller event than, say, the one we did last weekend which had close to a thousand guests or the one last month that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Life is Good, mostly</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230; especially if I focus on certain things like my upcoming appearance in Tony Fitzpatrick&#8217;s play &#8220;Stations Lost&#8221; at Steppenwolf Garage or the recent string of great gigs we&#8217;ve been rocking lately or the recent flurry of social events I&#8217;ve managed to leave my diva cave to attend. Life is shit if I focus on [...]]]></description>
