I can’t believe how fast the time goes.
Lots going on and lots more to do.
This seems to be a good time to say “thank you” to all for your support and encouraging words.
Have been song writing for some time and have recently recieved some public acknowledgement. I started songwriting to express without any expectation of recognition for the opportunity to say what I think musically! who knew!
I just received word that a song I wrote with my piano player Michael Creber from my play “The Returning Journey” was a finalist in the PeaceDriven Songwriting.
I also received word that my song “My Blues Keep Bringin’ Me Home” written with my guitar player Harris Van Berkel, is a finalist in the blues category in the International Songwriting Competition out of 15,500 submissions.
There are two directives to this competition. The first is the judges decision and the second is the People’s Voice/Choice.

and I “thank you for your support.
I have recently been singing with the Mount Seymour Community Gospel Choir which has been a wonderful experience.
The Sistahood Festival happens during the month of March. I will be performing on March 28 with d’bi young an AFrican-jamaican-Candian and laura “piece” kelly-John form Seattle. Both women are dub poets and we will be improvising,.
This is exciting for me as I continue to explore new ways to share the music.
in peace, Dalannah
