I have a recording session tomorrow and it’s kinda important, I mean it could lead to something important. I haven’t been in the studio for ages. I’m excited, nervous and a little bit scared. What if I am only… okay? You know how I cling to my comfort zone… but it’s an ideal situation with a kind hearted old friend from college who seems to drop into my life every fifteen years or so and hands me a miracle. And we reconnected through Facebook.
And despite my nerves I feel like I have a handle on the song. I just learned it today.
I don’t know why I’m feeling so much trepidation. I must stop feeling so insecure and afraid of the unfamiliar. My BFF Andrea says that I seem very brave to her. She’s the brave one. She is always in the studio: writing tunes; singing lead and all of the backing vocals; making solo trips to perform in clubs in Europe and the Middle East singing to tracks…
I feel like the world’s best singing underachiever.
My assignment at the studio: to sing with energy and raw soul. Wish me luck!
Later, some of the Shivers and I are performing at a private engagement – as a cabaret act – featuring yours truly. Reggie Newport made me an exquisite dress for the occasion – it’s black and completely covered in fringe. I went to a final fitting and was so shocked when he brought the dress to me. He was holding it up by the shoulders and it looked humongous – like he was about to hang a black fringed single sized fitted bed-sheet out to dry on a clothesline. All he needed was the clothespins. Oy Gevalt! Once I stepped into it I realized that he had not forgotten to sew up the side seams… It fit, perfectly. He has made me promise to wear heels with the dress… Okay…
Will let you know how it all turns out. EEK!
Oh please come back my little commenters…

You know Lynne, I was at the Bulls game with you when you did the national anthem. I videotaped you and took pictures. There were thousands of people there and you marched right on to that basketball court and sang the national anthem. I was so proud of you then and you keep on amazing me. You have such great talent. You are a kind and beautiful soul. You can do anything you set your mind too.
