I received such a gift this May: a woman flew me to Boston to sing in her wedding because she (and her soon-to-be husband) fell in love at my show six years ago. How sweet is that?<\/p>\n

My love for creating music is sometimes marred by the blue meanies<\/a>. And I mean that nobody-cares-kind-of-feeling blue that appears once in awhile. All creators go through this. It takes love to make art, but it also takes guts!<\/p>\n

So I keep plugging away, even though the hard stuff is really hard. I wish I could say I never grumbled about it. Sometimes I do.<\/p>\n

But then beautiful gifts come my way and I know that it\u2019s all worthwhile. I get to be a part of someone\u2019s special day. Somebody tells me my song made them feel better. I feel supported by people who care about what I have to contribute to the world. And I am grateful.<\/p>\n

\"\"This weekend I get to share my passion about Blossom Dearie<\/a>, a piano-playing singing diva from the 50\u2019s and beyond. I have been asked to perform a tribute show, so I get to share my favorite songs and stories and talk about how she\u2019s influenced my own music.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll talk about my recent fanatical scavenger hunts in Paris, London and New York where Blossom used to live and work. And how I got to interview Bob Dorough<\/strong>, the creator of Schoolhouse Rock<\/a>, who hired Blossom to sing \u201cFigure 8\u201d back in the 1970\u2019s. Bob just passed this spring; he was still gigging in NYC at the ripe old age of 94.<\/p>\n

Here’s to love and guts!<\/p>\n

For San Francisco fans, two summer shows:<\/p>\n
