Killdeers give us that warm and fuzzy hopeful feeling
When we moved out to our little home on the hill and lined the edge of the road with medium river rock I didn’t expect that one of my favorite birds from childhood would move in with us. I remember walking the grassy hills on our cattle farm west of Bazaar, Kansas. The sounds […]
Sunday with Mom, Dena Kleinsorge 06-26-2011
I so wish I had thought to take pictures. It was just one of the nicest Sundays, ever. It began with gardening, getting the beds ready for my late plantings of the flowers. I’ve been sick this spring and unable to do as much as usual. I’m feeling better. Breakfast on the porch, blueberry pancakes […]
Give it a Whirl, Farmer Earl
Remember my dad, Earl Kleinsorge? This song was written for him, and I’m happy he heard it while he was still with us. Farmer Earl is part of a collection of children’s songs that I wrote and that is available on CD or download. Earl Kleinsorge was an unusually talented and bright man. He only […]
Song for Daddy, Earl Kleinsorge-Oh Daddy, I Wish You Were Here
Another year’s gone by and Father’s Day is fast approaching. Dad died 12 years ago on Mother’s Day weekend. So, each year between Mother and Father’s Day I seem to be flooded with memories and longing to tell and show Daddy what has gone on. Every time I see some odd-looking cow in Mexico grazing […]
Studio memories of Randy Wills and The Exceptions Studio-Topeka, Kansas
First of all I need to say that I’ve met some awesome musicians and studio engineers over my years of recording. I hate to say how long I’ve been recording. I must have recorded my first project when I was 5 years old, as they say. I first met Randy Wills on a recording gig […]
Little Update on Dena Kleinsorge and talk about thinking problems in older people-causes for dementia, psychosis, hallucinations…
This was actually a draft that I thought I published back in March. I just found it and so am now publishing it for you. It was originally written on March 17th, 2011. Thank you for caring about Mom. Sorry I haven’t written more lately. Here’s what’s been going on with Mom. The good […]
Humbled by my blessings in the face of Joplin and Memorial Day
Some days I find myself in a struggle with the details of life, what to do with the stacks of paper clutter, in a search for enough time to practice my music to honor the gift that God gave me. Even the weeds that are taking over my flowers creep into my dreams and I […]
I Don’t Wanna Say Good-Bye…YouTube for Momma, Dena Kleinsorge
Ok, so we’ve loved being in Baja. But, it’s meant that I couldn’t spend as much time with Mom as I have in recent years. I went back for two trips to visit during our time away. Seeing her struggle with purpose and the sense of happiness saddened my heart and made it even harder […]
Under the Mango Tree in San Jose Del Cabo…
Under the mango tree…Where else could I possibly want to be, but playing music under a mango tree… Saturday was heavenly at the organic market in San Jose Del Cabo. John invited me to sing under the mango tree. He was so gracious and brought good equipment so everyone could hear. He gave me a […]
A perfect day of family life and music in Baja
Today will go down in history as one of my most blessed days. It wasn’t filled with exciting events, impressive site-seeing or famous people. It was simply hours of playing music and living our simple life in Baja. The girls went to the Spanish public schools here in Los Barriles for the past 4 weeks […]
