A week. A week until I stand with a string quartet and the ethereal voice of Vanessa Farkas and sing. I am so excited, tinged with a tiny little bit of "oh my god". ~smile~ I am insanely happy about it, and am itching to feel the sound, to be in that moment. I had a couple of extra string quartets arranged to make a complete set. So Heartwood, Eurydice and The Juniper now have string arrangements, I cannot wait to hear for real, and not just as a torturous finale mp3. :) The concert is going to be really awesome. I am sharing the time with another Calgary artist, Heather Blush, whose voice has a smooth bluesy quality to it. She is a fantastic performer and her Vice song is STILL in my head over a year since seeing her sing it, so I hope if you are in Calgary you will come out. Tickets can be purchased on the site of the Players Ensemble.

The day waits on pins, ready to exhale into night. I feel it beneath my skin, a tingling, as if it were new skin stretching. There is a tautness to this time of day, and I desire to scratch through the light to find the starry darkness underneath. The tenuous light filaments dissolve into a grey twilight, and I desire nothing more than to sit at my piano and write. I am obsessed with writing in 5/4 and my heros song fills my dreams....
Hear the call
Lay down your love
A world in need
His shadowed cree......
