New song!

Hey,
Sorry the poems aren't up yet. I have learned that I shouldn't put up anything I might submit for publication ever because being on a website counts as "previously published," so I'm trying to come up with a group of poems that are good enough to put on a website but not ones I'd ever submit for anything. Other than that, new song! Finished lyrics/chords yesterday; still practicing and making sure nothing needs to be modified, but the title will be up on the page soon once I nail that down as well. Sorry nothing has been recorded recently -- I'm working on it and I'll try to get something up soon. Hope you're having a good Friday the 13th with no mishaps or misfortunes, and be on the lookout, as before, for the poem and song-title stuff. Peace,
Fiona

My first real post. Also, Mexican food!

Yay! Okay, I've never had a blog, so if it gets boring, tell me and I will try to introduce elements of excitement. Anyway, new website! New song stuff! New Mexican grocery store! Huzzah! I went today to Dos Hermanos in Ypsilanti, my first trip to such, and it was so exciting and delicious because many of the ingredients for the food I ate during my month in Mexico were available for purchase there, as well as a lot of the convenience foods. Oh Jumex, how I missed you. But yes, new website, new songs, although nothing recorded yet. I still have to edit the first section of the Music page, so they're not all listed yet, but here they are, in the order in which they were written:
The Gene Wilder Song
What I Meant
October
The World's First Acoustic Robot (though this is probably NOT going on the album....)
Girl on the Train
The memorization song (as of yet untitled... I'm working on it.)
Also, I wrote some kids' songs. They are pretty silly, though, and mostly just a way to keep myself from going nuts with all the babysitting I've been doing lately. (Clients who chance upon this page: I begrudge nothing. I love babysitting. It is just that every so often one must expel the thoughts/sayings/etc of one's small charges from one's head by force in order to stay sane. You know how it is.) So yeah, poems and a change to the song list coming soon, and possibly more songs uploaded from the first CD -- it depends on how much embarrassment I decide I'm willing to face. :-) Be well, everybody, and thanks for stopping by!
