I spent lots of time with my grandma, (my mom's mom) when I was little listening to music by Charley Pride, Lynn Anderson & others. She & my mom influenced my love for music. I always felt so secure when I was with my grandma when I was very young.
She took me in to live with her when I was ten years old. I feel so lucky that she said "yes" when I asked if I could live with her. I'm so grateful.

It seems everyone is talking about Mother's Day, and rightly so. But for those of us who have lost our mom, it can be painful. My mom passed away in 2014, and I miss her more than words.
So, to those of you who are mourning the loss of your mom, I know what you're going through and how painful it can feel, especially when this time of year arrives.

It’s the 18-Year Anniversary of when my mom, Patricia and I first began the 5-month process of recording our album. We started the project on January 3rd and wrapped it up in May (2008).
This is Part 2 and the last five Snippets from our Little Blue Suitcase CD/Album.

Sylvia, sadly posted earlier today about the passing of one of her band members from the 1980s, Pete Finney. He played steel and acoustic guitars in her band for about 5 years.
She mentions Pete and some of her other band members in this video I recently created.
I thought I'd post it in honor of Sylvia and Pete making awesome music together all those years.

I had mentioned a couple posts ago, how I had wished Sylvia and Don Williams would have recorded a duet together. Well, I'd wished the same for Sylvia and Jim Glaser.
However, what I'd say is the second-best thing, he sang backup on her first album "Drifter". Including Sylvia's first Top 10 hit "Tumbleweed". In 2018 when she re-recorded some of her hits for an album she entitled "Second Bloom", she invited Jim to sing on it with her. The song turned out so beautiful.

My dog, George passed away a long time ago. I began writing a song about him on his 17th birthday, and I finished it about a month after he passed away. There were some additional changes made when mom and I were in the recording process.
"George (I Knew He Was the Puppy for Me)", is track 6 on our album.

It was 40 years ago today that I was fortunate enough in a two-day period to see one of four Sylvia performances at the Fair! They were awesome shows!
I clearly remember first hearing that my most favorite vocalist, Sylvia was scheduled to perform at our Fair. I could hardly believe I was finally going to be able to see her live in-concert. Taking a photo with her was icing on the cake.

A new video I just created in celebration of my favorite vocalist, Sylvia coming up & performing 40 years ago, August 26 & 27, 1985 at the Alaska State Fair in Palmer.
I'm happy to say I was so fortunate to meet her & get a photo taken. The first of many photos with her & Sylvia concerts throughout the years.

My dog George has been gone a long time but after he passed away, I never did get a new pet, mostly due to it being difficult having an animal when renting an apartment.
I have wonderful memories of the day I adopted him from the animal shelter when I was 10 & throughout his 17-year life.
I wish I could fit on here all that I recently wrote about how the song I started writing on his 17th birthday came to be.

I'm missing my mom and often thinking about her, especially today on what would be her 80th birthday.

It was 17 years ago today (January 3rd) that we began recording our CD. In celebration of that memorable occasion for us, I created a new video here in 2025. I hope you'll want to check it out! 😃
I'd like to share a few of mom's thoughts from 2008...
"It has been a dream-come-true for us to work together on these songs. It just goes to show that dreams can come true, no matter how old we are".
