I may be obsessed...
....with www.monicaramey.com right now. The "people watching" is fantastic. I watch the traffic reports and read the very sweet messages people are leaving me and it sometimes is too overwhelming. AND we're just getting started, kids!
Facebook, Twitter and Myspace are all really fantastic ways to reconnect, but when someone voluntarily steps into your own world...a world you share with no one else like your own website...it's an incredibly humbling and gratifying feeling. Until Make Someone Happy hit the press, I didn't do much to promote the website, but that all has changed.
Take a look for yourself. Leave a message, join the list, listen to the clips and yes, check out the amazing new album photos. Seriously folks, if there is a great photo of me, I'm claiming it and telling the world about it!
Have a wonderful night. Time to meditate and rest....

Our special guest artist this year is Donna McElroy, master jazz vocalist, educator, and recording artist on the faculty of Berklee College of Music.
