Hi, whoever you are. I hope that you were there, this morning, while I was singing at the Road Runner. It was such a good time. I felt like I was singing just for you. Singing for small audiences gives you such a unique and intimate opportunity. It’s like having a close conversation and just sharing thoughts and memories with everyone. I was so moved by how many of my songs brought people to tears………..and I DON’T think that had to do with my poor performance……..*chuckle**
Today was the first time that I’ve performed my love song to Fernando and I realized that, thought it’s appreciated by many people, it is trulya lady’s song…………..a song quickly related to by woman that remember their passage from childhood to womanhood and the feelings that they experienced during this phase of their lives. It seems that all women remember a time when they were just becoming a woman…………a time when they had some infatuation…….that FIRST person that they felt passionate about………not one that they were really physically in contact with……..not someone who actually touched them……..at least not physically………..but one that touched them someplace special, where no one else could go………..someplace that could never be touched again by anyone else. All they knew during this intense time of their development was that this feeling was unlike anything they had ever felt before and it was so strong that nothing else mattered except for that feeling and whoever it was, that the affection was directed towards.
As an adult with more meaningful relationships and focuses, now, it can all seem kind of silly. But, I see from the faces, as I sing, and from the feeling inside of my heart, that when we were 12 years old, it was far from silly. It was the strongest feeling that we had felt to that point in our lives and we truly thought that it was the most important thing we’d ever experience…………
One lady, you know who you are, shared that Roy Rogers was her true love fixation when she was a young girl……..Yee Haw!! You go girl! *chuckle** But, it wasn’t funny back then, and I wouldn’t think of belittling the magical memory, just as my love for Fernando was so important to me, at that time.
Thanks to everyone who came, this morning. It was a lovely time. The food was good and the conversations were even better. I just love making new friends, here in Baja. Many of you bought my new CD and I hope that you love it.
