Hi Friends,
Just a short note to mention a few cool things this week!
I want to share this story that was posted on Humans Of New York. I am very moved to know that my music was involved in this immigrant family's life. As songwriters, we send our music out into the world and never know where it is going to land. As a performer, I play these clubs and listening rooms and get tired of the road, and often don't feel that I make any difference in the world. Then I meet people who share their experience with me, sometimes quite emotionally, and I realize that I have done something. Whether it is two or ten people my music reaches. It's like that drop of water that makes those ripples bigger and bigger. I'm sure a lot of people who subscribe to Humans Of New York don't know who I am. What matters to me is that I made an impact on this one little girl and her family, and she grew up to be a beautiful, intelligent, compassionate, articulate woman, and that impact has returned to touch me. Humanity can be so beautiful.
On another note - I would LOVE if you would join me this Friday, December 4th at 5pm CST on Facebook where I will perform a Christmas Special from my backyard! I will be accompanied by Marvin Dykhuis on guitar and mandolin, Chip Dolan on piano and accordion, and Laura Mordecai on percussion. My husband and I just completed the building of a beautiful deck/stage that we hope to have concerts on in the future. What better christening than to break out the Christmas songs?! We won't have much of an audience here, but we will love to see y'all out there. Make a cup of egg nog or whatever is your happy hour cheer. Let's have some Holiday fun together! If you are not a Facebook subscriber, you can watch it here on mundotish.
PS - Remember to tune in to The Texicana Mamas Cafe Con Leche Thursday, 11am CST
