Happiness

So that's a song I'm learning for my peoples - I think it's so pretty and it always makes me think about my baby and cry happy tears late at night.

It's by Bobby McFerrin - look for his version! It's hard to find. The one I had found online is gone now:( It's called Mere Words from the album Bang! Zoom!

But I sing this one all the time too:



I've been spending some much needed time developing new material for workshops and trying to recover my music files *sigh*. Setting stuff up here is slow going - I'm still all on my own here (I'll go into that more later) and I really, really need to be creative. I also really need to be a Mommy.

I am SO lucky because my daughter and I share interests. We've been working really hard on rehearsing shows that I've written over the past couple years and routines that we developed just playing together. We took it out to The Scotiabank Marathon and PS Kensington this past Sunday - CircleSing! and Happy Moon (Allegra and Luna) Productions have officially hit the road with our little song and dance show.

This is an excellent opportunity to raise awareness and also to work the kids' chops for their more formal productions including: The Spooky Special (not this Hallowe'en, sadly, we're aiming for February)and The Story of Joy.

We'll be out on Queen and Spadina (we're there erratically now - it's close by - you might catch us sometime!) on October 4th for Nuit Blanche (unofficially but we ARE, in fact, official buskers).

More after the JUMP!...


And the last PS Kensington is October 26. The Samba Kidz will be joining me as the night begins to fall in a presentation of OYA~! Inspired by the Yoruban Tornado Goddess, wife of Shango - God of Thunder. It's a 6th year tradition now (4 years in the Market) and such fun for me as I conjur the power of Chaos. Anything is possible as winter begins to close in around us, it's stillness offering respite from the toil that favours the mundane over the celestial. Chaos opens the heart and the mind - and sometimes the body - to allow the infinite range of possibilities available in the universe to flow through us.

ANYWAY! Hope to see you out there:) I'll be on Kensington Avenue at Sunset.
