Until the Full Extent of Why: Simply Sandi

The past couple weeks I have been running a cerebral marathon: my mind analyzing, ingesting, and bounding about from all the new and the upcoming.

How sweet to have blog block because I have SO MUCH I could tell you and just have not figured out the words. I feel it brimming and that it shall culminate into a rather extensive entry. I cannot wait to write it and share soon... Until then...

About once a week or so (sometimes more, sometimes less) I visit sandipatty.com. I mentioned that I will devote a blog to her soon for even those who know I adore her (anyone that has known me for a few minutes in most cases) do not know the full extent of why.

Tonight I looked and noticed that she is releasing a new CD!!!!!!! entitled:

Simply Sandi

Just her at the piano singing. It is due out May 5th... so I will get the CD and then attend her concerts in OH later that weekend. That is going to be one hell of week. (HA that I wrote "hell" when she is a Christian artist)

The picture I included is from a photo shoot for the CD. It is not the front cover, but I ADORE the shot. I think it is the best Sandi picture I have seen.

I have a slew of joys in my life: purchasing the new Sandi CD (which she has been releasing rather consistently every year since 2004 although her career spans back to the late 70's) is one of the highlights of the year for me. I look forward to it a few weeks after I have listened to the new CD and think, "Oh I cannot wait to see what she sings next."

So, May 5th is SIMPLY SANDI day commencing SANDI WEEK for me.

I love that humans long ago created music, art, expression, creation... for it is my lifeline and brings me inexplicable joy.

Sandi has a new CD debuting! And KICK and STRETCH... 'cuz I'm FIFTY (or THIRTY)...

Love,
Dustin

I Love the Clarks

I LOVE THE CLARKS!!!!!!!!!!!! (I used twelve exclamation marks/points to show the significance of the love and because twelve is my cosmic number.) It is that simple. Jay and Karen (and the illustrious Quin) allowed me to move into their lovely home under the proviso I would be out in a few days. Well that was October 18th and, look at your calendar folks, I am still here. I think that finally the light has bounced off of a nimbus cloud that I have not seen before and I might have a dwelling. But... I LOVE these two people. They just get me and leave me to my own devices. In this time where I have sequestered myself off into my own little respite lair, they have let me "do my own thing". And they are such lovely, talented, decent people. It has been my honour to get to know them more and their ultimate collaboration, THE Quin. He is the COOLEST child ever. I adore the boy. Tonight Jay, Karen, and I played a card game called Nerts. I am addicted and I saw new shades ...

Scampering Back From the Hiatus

I awoke with these names in my head... surely they are characters from a forthcoming story tentatively entitled, "The Merman's Song": Briinan Jossuraje Arthero Zyne What a perplexing and delicious way to greet the morning, I love it when that happens. Jer is heading over to bond and I am trying to break the habit of making him wait when he arrives for me to finish getting ready. It is a tad ridiculous and just keeps happening, one of those atrocious habits that is born out of sheer laziness and poor time management skills. I just love, love, love, love that guy. If I am the toothbrush, he is the floss, the Ron to my Harry, the Patty to my Sandi, the Pepper to my Doctor, the Dorothy to my Rose, the world's best person and my FAVOURITE. He keeps me sane, he really does. The picture is from the wedding in which I performed last weekend. I think it is a classy and interesting shot. There is loads to deliver and reveal as I took a brief hiatus, not intentionally, but I...

And With This, Farewell

This blog has been a dear friend to me. I am not good at farewells, but truly this is anything but. I look at it like this - I love the phoenix, the symbolism of it all, the power of rebirth. Hence why I named my blog/musing screen after one. :-) So, I am leaving this particular blog to start another one, one that fits me NOW, the one that I can share in a new way. So this feels right. Thanks to those who have read my musings throughout the years. I hope you follow me to my new musing home entitled THE TWELVE THAT IS DUSTIN BAYLAN. Yes, I am changing the name, the story of that is on the new blog for you to read. Here is the link: http://dustinbaylan.wordpress.com/ Much love, much hope and joy again, much potential... Winks and smiles of the Cat that is Cheshire, Dustin Baylan
