I’m throwing my boa in the ring - the live music streaming ring. It’ll be me & my amazing keyboardist and Shiver: Ray Glower at first and we plan on giving this live streaming thing a go. It won’t be long, just a song or two and some laughs from time to time, but we are doing this as a distraction from the chaos and boredom as well as a Fundraiser so neither one of us ends up living under a bridge. Like most of my peers, all of my work has been cancelled through July. Kaput! Private events, …

This time, however, I was on the much smaller “Jazz/Cabaret” stage so I brought in a trio and I …
The Adventures of Permanent Lifestyle Change Girl: My Belly
My constant battle of the bulge is more like the battle to conceal the bulge. I have mastered the fine art of "hiding my physical flaws" which include: my arms, my thighs, and my belly. I gained some weight. I gained enough weight that I can see the difference from photos taken two years ago. My face is fuller, my back thicker but the biggest change is my hanging belly. This sucker is new to me. I have been heavier before but I think my advanced age has messed with the elasticity of my skin ... …
The Adventures of Permanent Lifestyle Change Girl: No Girdle today!
As I prepared this morning for my noon o'clock concert I reached for the long summer gown (with sleeves) and sandals to perform in, then I looked at the support garment (girdle) that I was planning to wear under it and then I glanced at the more athletic wear (wicking fabric long shorts and loose flowing brightly colored tunic) folded neatly, alongside sneakers which give me much needed support for my knees.
