My annual ode to you, my online friends. Happiest, healthiest and most prosperous of New Year’s to you, your family and YOUR circle of friends. Thanks as always for being here. Yeah – a bit over due… but I’ve been BUSY! Enjoy! Love, m. So my dear, dear friend Laura Kaye long ago mentioned Nikka Costa, and how much she loved her. (Nikka’s got a voice wayyy beyond her years… an old-soul funktress.) So when my FB friend Alisa B Anderson posted a link to an awesome new Nikka track a few days ago… I took notice. I heard it once – just once – and this came into my head. So I had to make it – I couldn’t help it. So here – with all due reverence… p.s. – if Mizz Costa would care to give up a high-res copy of the audio, I’d be willing to re-create it in better fidelity. I could only do it with MP3. From the instrumental album “This One Love”. This was not taken with a zoom lens. These little guys hang out by the windows outside the studio, waiting for nuts. So here’s a double-week videoblog… you’ll see why when you watch it.

[Membership Site Guarded by Membership Site Plugin MemberWing] Those of you who follow me on facebook might remember that recently I remarked on how the piano and I found each other after years. When I was very young, piano was my only instrument. I would spend hours with it. Since then, I have obviously found others, and my piano playing had reduced itself to playing parts, or as a songwriting tool. This vid illustrates the re-awakened relationship. I recorded this into a sequencer, and worked on it after the fact. (More on the after-play in a moment.) But this is the first time, in a long time, that me and the piano have been here… in this little “live tryst” situation. It feels very, very good indeed….{+}
