04/16/2008Spring has Sprung - April in Paris - Texas that is (Our Apologies to Count Basie)
Greetings Soonaphiles,
Here is hoping you are coping with the pollen that is floating from those blossoms blooming all around your head. Yes, Ghost Dog is feeling springily poetic, a little misty, and overflowing with doggerel. How not, when blooming along with the azaleas, pears, cherries and dogwoods we have new videos, new snacks, and new shows?
First, a message from our Esteemed CEO... (please change the song in your head from April in Paris to Tax Man)...
May we remind you that a great place to patriotically* spend your tax rebate is the Soona Songs Store. Buy for America! Thank You.
*OK, Beth Cahill is Canadian, but they are our friends...
New Videos Up from Jazz Diva, Lisa Markley!
Two great performances from Lisa Markley (vox) and J. Paul Slavens (piano). These are tunes that really really should be standards, give them a listen and we are sure you will agree.
Fell Asleep Driving (Lyrics by Kelly Higgins, Music by J Paul Slavens)
The sky is blue and sometimes cries (Lyrics by Little Jack Melody, Music by Jeffrey Barnes)
Ghost Dog would also like to credit the high quality of our videos to the efforts of engineer and former master, Graham(too many jobs)Duncan.
Be sure to check out our new Soona Snacks! One from the upcoming Markley & Balmer album and one from the soon to be released heliopause v.II.
Shows old and new...
Esteemed CEO, Marilyn Duncan has just returned from her yearly trek to the National Cherry Blossom Festival. The blossoms were in full bloom and she had fun seeing our good friends Dulcie Taylor and Brian (heliopause) Pinke. Filmmaker Elvert Barnes stopped by for some of her performance, and the results are posted on YouTube - see what a woman of a certain age looks like singing with the sun in her eyes...
Our good friends at the Labyrinth Walk Coffee House, here in Oak Cliff, are shining the spotlight on Soona Arteests - April 26, Marilyn Duncan will open for Jenni Peal project, Reflecting Pool, and May 17 The Malvinas will rock the house. The Malvinas will also be performing at the New Orleans Jazz Festival on May 2 at 11:15am. Catch them if you can!
Work continues on the Radiophonic and Beth Cahill releases and Markley & Balmer continue to track in the studio. Ghost Dog is certain if she runs fast enough she will actually catch her tail.
All the best until next time!
Soona
