YOu know I stopped by to see if you put "Whenever You're Ready" to music yet. :)

Hola Barbara (and that's the extent of my Spanish). Wait, also - muchos gracias - and I mean it - so touched by your kind, even more encouraging words. Brought tears to my eyes. I will definitely keep writing, I'd have way too much free time on my hands if not ;-) Actually, I'd probably take up crossword puzzles or maybe even go to the gym all the time. Naaah ;-)

Now not going to be in Atlanta at all due to a flight schedule change meaning I had to leave JFK before I got there. I've changed my flight and will be going to Austin via Dallas rather than Killeen via Atlanta. Don't think I'd have been there long enough to meet up anyway, but just thought I'd let you know.

There will, however, be plenty of opportunity for me to write novel tomorrow, as I'm going to be on 'planes for about 18 hours!

Hey Barbaly,
I've got a chance to pitch some inspirational stuff practically straight to some A & R people who specialize in that kind of thing. I'm going to try to get a few together for a C D to send them. I think Loaf Of Bread would qualify. Are you OK with us pitching it for one and also, are you happy with it as is, or do you want to re record it?.
Getting a C D together will probably entail 4 o 6 weeks, so no particular rush. I probably won't send over 6 songs on it

Hi Barbara, thanks so much for the sweet comment on 'Two Worlds'. Sorry about the late reply. It was a pleasure listening to yours songs. You have a beautiful voice..and I'm envious of your guitar skills! :)

Hi Barbara - just thought I'd let you know that I've finally posted some more of my novel. I also have at least 3 more installments already written and have joined a roller derby team which involves me spending more time on trains, so if I remember to take my netbook with me, this should make me write more.

Hi Barbara...I’d be delighted to collab with you on "You." (lol) I never did go back and tweak the lyric...especially that "belly laugh" line. I intended to fix that but didn’t...there may be others spots...see what you think fits with your music ideas...and feel free to use my email too, if you’d like!

Hi Barbara, as you might have seen in some comments, I like your pieces very much, especially your great voice. I suppose you are quite busy, yet in the case if you like and if you can afford the time, I`d love to invite you to have a (short) look on some of my lyrics and I`d look very forward to a possible collab in the case you find anything you eventually like...
kind regards

Thank you so much Barbara for your wonderful comment on my collaboration with Donna on Enchanted River.So happy you like it :)

The only Spanish words I know are cerveza, helados y mass cola, por favor!

Nice! No, I'm collabing with TC, just running extremely late (very much disqualified). I'm out of practice. BOoooooOOooOoo! Check back in a half hour or so :).

You're right about the filk community, and the community is more of a big deal than the subject matter. There are people who aren't specifically interested in Tolkien or Babylon 5 or Buffy or whatever else I may write about but who have their own equivalent preferences and therefore "understand". What we do are folk songs in the broad sense -- even if it's played as rock or chamber music -- as it all touches on the lives and interests as generally found within fantasy and science fiction fandom.

Thank you so much Barbara for your generous comments on 'Backwards in Time'..memories are meant to be held onto. I like to think of them as permanent movies, as they never go away :)

Oh Barbara. I keep writing the same song over and over. It's getting rather annoying. You're very kind to actually comment on them. I'm hanging onto the hope that eventually I will write something different, but then when I do, I'm scared she'll really be gone.

Hi Barbara. If not for your comment, I wouldn't have even bothered putting music to Nameless Woman. Thanks. It now has music.

On "Hey darlin', that put me in mind of Conway Twitty's well know song or at least the opening words on it ,"Hello Darlin' and then THAT put me in mind of a remark Loretta Lynne had about Conway--THAT brought me a hook--I'm working on that one--Thanks Barbaly--you just spread inspiration wherever you go!!!--Like the sun coming up on a desolate landscape!!!, Coming out from behind the clouds after a long spell of gloomy weather !!.
Keep talkin' Barbara!! :)`

""did I tell you this already? - I hate editing my songs.""" Thanks for that Barbara--I come from a critiquing site and it's hard to get out of the habit

:-)

Ah, I'm in Atlanta airport briefly, but that's about it.

thanks barbara for the lovely comments on my lyrics are you UK or USA?

Oop. Nevermind, I see that you saw it. Thanks for your comment! It makes me happy when someone leaves an in-depth one.

Loaf of bread---Well Barbara, ya' see, it's like this----"Whatever--however" i sing anything , they always say it sounds like country, folk or Bluegrass--It's a curse or something :)
Don't feel bound by that if it gets your wheels spinning. The content doesn't really seem to lend itself to that genre do you think? It could definitely be done that way all right.
If you can come off what I sent, in a more Elizabethan direction, feel free or if you have a new start of your own
I trust you complicitly or implicitly (Or something :)

hi barbara, yes, it rings true for me because i've been the person on the receiving end of that exact situation (though i suppose people usually think of the woman being the "victim" in those situations). Anyway, yeah, whether i had experienced that myself or not, i still thought you did a great job.

Sent it ,Barbara
