Annoying Blog-Comments

Well, it has come to my attention, eh hem, that the settings for my blog are REALLY annoying and make it difficult to leave a comment. Sorry about that....I want you to comment...really, I do :0)

So, I have changed the settings so that anyone can comment. Please let me know if it is now simple to comment.

Now, I just have to start writing more blogs, eh?

Cheers!

Feels like I am on the outside...

Below is a part of a song that I wrote several months ago...Not stunning lyrics...but honest words. Maybe it's just in Nashville...when I am anywhere else, I feel differently...here in Nashville, even though I have some great friends, I feel like I am on the outside many times...Do you know what I mean? Most of the time I am just a wandering nomad just trying to make sense of life. God is the only foundation that grounds me when I feel like this...I am very thankful for that. I am glad to know that His love is constant.
-----------------------
Does anyone here feel the way I do?
Does anyone here feel the way I do?
I've been runnin' down, runnin' down, runnin' down
Into the crowd...

And it feels like, I'm on the outside
It feels like, I'm on the outside
Always lookin' in, always lookin' in
From the outside...
------------------------

Brian Wilson of "the Beach Boys" co-wrote the following song...I wish that I had written this song.

I keep looking for a place to fit
Where I can speak my mind
I've been trying hard to find the people
That I won't leave behind

They say I got brains
But they ain't doing me no good
I wish they could

Each time things start to happen again
I think I got something good goin' for myself
But what goes wrong

Sometimes I feel very sad
Sometimes I feel very sad
(Can't find nothin' I can put my heart and soul into)
Sometimes I feel very sad
(Can't find nothin' I can put my heart and soul into)

I guess I just wasn't made for these times

Every time I get the inspiration
To go change things around
No one wants to help me look for places
Where new things might be found

Where can I turn when my fair weather friends cop out
What's it all about

Each time things start to happen again
I think I got something good goin' for myself
But what goes wrong

Sometimes I feel very sad
Sometimes I feel very sad
(Can't find nothin' I can put my heart and soul into)
Sometimes I feel very sad
(Can't find nothin' I can put my heart and soul into)

I guess I just wasn't made for these times

A Blogging Break :o(

Greetings to you! I haven't been blogging this week...just taking a break....well, sort of. I did get some sweet emails of folks checkin in on me to make sure that all was well.

This week I have been hanging out quite a bit at the Broadstairs Folk Week. I did get to play two different evenings briefly at the Folk Club/Sailing Club. I met tons of folks and got a few bookings for next year, thanks to my good friend Dixie and some of the folks at the festival.

Besides that I have been...recording 3 more songs for the new album, walking a LLLLOTT carrying my guitar, learning tons about English folk music & Moorish Dancing at the Broadstairs Festival, cooking, doing laundry, hanging out with the Leddy children, exploring Whistable and trying to get my head together and my self restored after all of the travel and killing a few spiders (sorry...they creep me out a bit). I have been trying to get my 200 cds that went to the wrong address rerouted here to Whistable...oh what fun :o/ I have been painting a new painting, making some new jewelry to sell, and writing a few new tunes.

I went busking in Canterbury again, made 50 Pounds...partially, because a man named John gave me 20 Pounds and then introduced me to another American in town & bought our dinner. Also, a sweet little boy Alex, 7 years old, came by on his bike while I was busking, reached in his wallet and put coins in my guitar case...crazy cool! He came back later with his mom and talked for a while. Also, I have been writing postcards to send out to the folks that won the postcard blog...sorry it has taken forever...they will be sent before I leave England.

Anyhow, I hope that you are well. Thanks for reading.

Blessings,

Tammy*
