Maybe its just something you notice as you get older, I dunno... But there certainly is a higher power at work ...the Almighty Hannibal (remember the A Team...he loved it when a plan came together)...there has to be! Let me give you the run down on this latest very cool plan...
I've mentioned the dating sites ...
I also record karaoke on a site called Sing Snap...let me try a link for you:

That's a song I recorded not too long ago... Songbird... enjoy :)
There are tons of fellow karaoke junkies on this site! We all record songs and listen to one another...leaving comments of encouragement. It's done wonders for my confidence level.....the vibration level of my nervous shakes has been reduced significantly when I'm actually on stage...
Getting back to this awesomely orchestrated plan...
On one of the dating sites I met a man who has become a good friend, Composer. He creates music for movies and tv...very cool guy.
So Christmas is coming, and I'm trying to figure out what to get Poppa as a gift. Now Poppa is disabled...so gifts are extremely limited. Extremely... However, there was a time when he played guitar, sang and wrote music. I can remember one song in particular, called "Sea Shells" that he wrote. One night, when I was maybe 11, we were returning from my grandparents place and I had fallen asleep in the car. When I woke up I swore that I heard that song on the radio. My parents laughed, told me I was dreaming...but it was so real...
SO, I thought...hey, wouldn't it be cool if I recorded this song for him as a gift? Wouldn't it?
But my guitar playing skills are not what they used to be....
So I asked my friend Composer if he'd help with the music :) We get together on Tuesday to work on the music for Poppa's song... Then I simply need to go to one of the gazillion recording studios around my house, music in hand, and record the song. Awesome huh?
This morning one of my Sing Snap friends was chatting with me. She's already played one of my karaoke songs on her internet radio show and she wanted me to do a Christmas song for her Christmas show. And she's moving to another station as a DJ... she wants to know if I have a CD because she would like to promote me.
Getting the picture here?
How cool is that????
Frickin humbling when you think about it....
All I know is that when a door opens, you walk through...and trust.
Oh...side note...
The song Sea Shells is about leaving Nova Scotia to come to Hamilton (for work and better life) and missing 'home'.
The SingSnap friend is from Nova Scotia.
Am I the only one with goosebumps here?????
