Recording of our last Zang and some Spring advice

Hello beautiful friends,

If you missed our last Zang, the recording is HERE (UPDATED!!! — April 20)

We had our first Benahart rehearsal this past weekend. It was interesting singing the songs in our set, it showed me how much I haven’t been stretching my voice in my writing and how much I can.

Here’s a little snapshot of the songs we are learning

The Final Countdown - Europe

Here I Go Again - Whitesnake

No One Like You - Scorpions

Mandinka - Sinead

Running Up that Hill (maybe????) - Kate Bush

Don’t You Forget About Me - Simple Minds

If I Could Turn Back Time - Cher

Eye of The Tiger - Survivor

Hold The Line - Toto

Many people think learning covers is an act of mediocrity. I think by getting inside people’s songs gives a huge learning experience for a songwriter. As someone who has sung for a long time, but I believe has only cleared the path to becoming proficient since giving up drinking, it fascinates me that there is still room to grow, still notes to reach, still breath to uncover.

Breath is fascinating. If I think about life and all the things that are joyful and energetic, they involve expanding our capacity to breath. If you feel that you are in a funk, find a way to expand your breath capacity.

Singing, exercise, dance, walking, yoga.

There’ll be more updates soon…know that I love you all.
