My new high-speed internet has led to hours of blogging, online reading, and serious DVR back-up. I was planning on a night to catch-up on some t.v. but discovered a new artist on NPR that once again cut into my Larry King Live and America's Next Top Model episodes (I still have not seen one ATM this season, starting to lose interest I guess). I know I am late in discovering that NPR is the coolest thing since sliced bread. Guess I just got a little busy with having babies for 5 years, not that Baby Wise and the What To Expect series didn't make for some fascinating reading. I've been slacking. Child Wise is still waiting for me on the bookshelf, and is there a What To Expect: The High School Years? Early preparation is a good thing I've learned after three unexpected pregnancies. I've never been a planner.
ANYWAY, this new young singer/songwriter is just so incredible that I had to share. Below are links to her song Gladd that is so beautiful, and a video (17 minutes and so cool if you have the time) of two days with her in the studio where you get to witness the creative process she goes through in composing and recording a song that she starts only after being given photographs from which she chooses one that inspires her. The resulting song is called Cavendish and it is so hauntingly cool, it's as if the past is being channeled back through her creativity. She is like a blend of Judy Garland, Joni Mitchell, and Patsy Cline.

Lane, I saw on her website that she will be in New York May 2nd!
BTW, I had to stop in the middle of the road for a turkey today. It was awesome. Made my day.
Oh, and who saw Carrie Underwood last night on Idol Gives Back? How sweet and super awesome was that?
