Hello out there! I hope and pray that all is well in your world as I write. Today is a great day! Beyond the fact that it is sunny and warm outside, I am very blessed to be able to bring words and music together into units known as "songs." There are all kinds of songs in the world, to be sure. In part, because of my training with the wonderful Harriet Schock, and having participated in many of her group songwriting classes, I don't try to write "hit songs" but "heart songs." I don't mean that in the…

Happy Spring!

I hope you are enjoying the warmth of the sun on your skin and the smell of orange blossoms in the air! It's another spectacular sunny day here in la-la land. I'm currently juggling multiple gardens; digging up, planting, weeding, replacing, pruning and marveling at the sight of emerging leaves, buds, and blossoms on flowering plants and fruit trees

Speaking of fruit...musically speaking, this past year has been very fruitful. I recorded a new solo CD! For this project, I made a few trips…

Things are musically hopping lately, and I'm pleased to announce a number of updates, shows and developments. 

For a little over a year, I have been working on a new CD. Honestly, it is going slower than I had hoped, but I've learned that it's okay when things don't go exactly as planned. Artistic projects are in a sense entities with a life of their own, complete with their own timetables. (Can you tell I'm taking a philosophy class???)

By the way, I'm also reading a biography of Einstein, which I expect…

I am stunned and thrilled to announce that my "Women on the Move" Trio won first place yesterday at the 51st Annual Topanga Banjo and Fiddle Contest! 

In the morning's preliminary competition there were around 30 acts in our category on the "Railroad Stage." When the judges finished calculating their scores, they read off the names of the 5 finalists. The first 4 finalists' names were read and I was thinking 'oh, bummer' . . . then our name was read!

Then Women on the Move performed in the finals at around…

After a great week touring from Los Angeles to Portland and back, I'm happy to report that it was a great trip of reaching out to new fans in new locations.

The name of my trio is "Women on the Move," and move we did! We had house concerts, an appearance at the prestigious "Portland Folk Music Society" hosted by Dick Weissman, and impromptu living room shows for our wonderful home hosts (who gave us beds and showers along the way, allowing us to keep hotel stays to a bare minimum.)

We even had one…

Hi Everyone There is so much new news . . . including rehearsals and performances with a bluegrass band called "Two Frets Lower," rehearsals, shows, and an upcoming tour to Portland with the trio "Women on the Move." There was a recent radio interview (Sat. Feb. 6th) which you will find in the "Press" section. I've played numerous shows in the Palm Desert, La Quinta, Palm Springs area. Women on the Move recently opened a women's conference at College of the Canyons. New songs are in the works.…

Had a great show in the desert. Lots of people cruised by and many stopped to listen for a moment while browsing the shops and organic produce in Old Town La Quinta. Looking forward to my next show back here on Sunday, Jan. 31, 2010! Linda G
