I am excited to share a recent performance of my song “My Shining Star.”

Since my fall in early April, I have continued to follow a creative path. Despite terrible pain in my pinky, I drew several new mazes. I worked with a wonderful hand therapist, and watched the miracle of healing unfold for my “pinky hero.”

I cried with joy when less than two months later I was able to play tennis again. My game was as good, or even better than it was before my fall!

I wasn’t sure if I could hold the racquet well, so I first went out to hit against a backboard.

My post title is a lyric line from my newest song named “Take My Hand.” I spent a lot of time recording the guitar tracks and a vocal. I’m especially excited that a good friend   has been exploring harmony for it with me.

Recording the guitar arrangement was definitely an artistic exploration. It took me three separate sessions to capture the lower guitar. I was completely inspired as I layered that track with nylon lead melodies, harmonics, strums and high finger picking.

Below are performances of “Take My Hand.” Collaborating with Bill Doty was such a joy!

I hear your voice” is also a lyric line in my song “My Shining Star.”

It’s a little crowded in my bedroom when I’m recording!

I continue to perform live on Insight Timer every week. Having such a loving community of listeners is truly a blessing for me. At this time, I am planning to share more about new song once I’ve explored working on it with a new arranger. Stay tuned!
