Technicolor WonderlandI searched high and looked low To see what's missing The trees are tall, the grass is green The still air is listening
The fog's a thin, wispy grey Another dawn breaks a sweat I jumped up and looked east When I heard him say, I'm not done yet
Chorus: I live in a technicolor wonderland It's brilliant in every way I can almost see the meaning of life But He snapped it shut, and starts a new day A new day, a new day
I feel a ghostly touch A rumored lesson The hands of time can't be spared I close my eyes and count to ten &nb Technicolor Wonderland

Black is BetterShe waits for her hearse to come, Her fate is a lonely one She can't see the morning son
Chorus: White's not right and Black is Better As she wrote to me in a good-bye letter She looked down and walked away
Doesn't care if she's ever free She'll wear what she wants to be She just knows, that she's not happy
But one day she looked around
Saw a light and a common ground Her tears didn't weigh her down
Her sight is clear and fresh All she needed was a second breath She snapped the line and passed the test
And she sa Black is Better

Crescent MoonWe're under a crescent moon We drive down the lonesome hwy Looking for a place to rest To lay our heads, get some shut eye
The stars are to the right Of the big white crescent moon We see the old man coming He looks sad and full of gloom
The clouds pass under the crescent moon We keep driving along the lonesome hwy I sing a song to provide a friend And light a candle to find our way Crescent Moon

Let's see where do I start.

Well, last week I finally got my hands on a Fostex MR8 digital recorder and I recorded my first song on it. This thing is so easy to use (plus I've had experience recording and editing commercials so that helped) and it has a great sound.

I transformed my daughter's old bedroom into a music room, complete with a desk, music posters, candles for atomosphere, my autographed picture of Mickey Dolenz, lots of yellow (the color of creativity). Of course, I have to share the room with my husband's weight set, but that's okay...it's so worth it.

I've also been reading about modes. Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Myxolydian, Aeolian and Locrian and applying them to my songs. Turns out I didn't need change anything to fit a certain tone and that makes me feel good, knowing that I have an instinct for these modes.

Yep....life is good!!!!!

I was born a feral child in the wilds near Lake Ontario

Abandoned by my parents and left to fend for myself, I was later found by a group of beer lovin' hockey players who were playing a game on a nearby frozen lake. They took me into their camp and fed me a steady diet of Labatts Blue, maple syrup tapped from nearby trees and french fries with gravy on top. One of the players named Gordy Boitano later adopted me and christened me Gordy Junior (never mind that I was a girl). I was a rebellious child for I fell in love with baseball and not hockey. While my father wore nothing but Toronto Maple Leaf gear, I wore nothing but Toronto Blue Jays gear. My father grew to resent me (after all, the blue jays won two world series and the maple leafs couldn't win a one sided game of tic-tac-toe) I left home when I was 18 and met a light skinned mexican half-breed. We married and had three children, Gordy the 3rd, Hannah (named after the park for where I was found) and Raquel. And now, I live a docile life in Oregon where I go to bed each night and dream of Labatts beer, fresh maple syrup and french fries with gravy.
