Shout Out Colorado

I was asked some questions about her music business in the Voyage Denver Magazine “Shoutout Colorado Series."

The article asked an interesting question about my perspective on risk which is a challenging topic for business owners. This is especially true in this brave new COVID world as musicians.

There’s always a certain level of accepted risk in everything that we do, but it’s not often discussed. Thanks for the opportunity to share a part of my story as a small business owner

I also got to send a SHOUT OUT for the Colorado Gray Wolves Rugby Club in this article link below.

This is Buchanan School

129161297_3570274289721522_676275065811724299_o.jpg

This is Buchanan School. It is located in Buchanan, Tennessee. I attended school there in my youth and so did many members of my friends and family. The school was open from 1921-1996. It’s half past the middle of nowhere in West Tennessee near the Kentucky Lake. There used to be an old feed co-op on the corner and a general store up the hill.

That little corner of the world was full of life and fully functional when I went to school there. Pickup trucks and tobacco haulers constantly buzzed by. If you look hard enough, you can imagine the walkway up through those big Kudzu smothered pine trees that led right up into the basketball gym.

I spent so many hours in that gym playing basketball, attending Fall Festivals, taking class photos, doing cake walks, cuttin’ up with my friends, getting in trouble with Mr. Jackson, Coach Melton, or Mr. Wyatt.

To be there as an adult feels like I’m in another dimension. I mean did this place really exist? It looks like it has been closed for 100 years. When I attended school there, walking those halls, seeing the photos of the graduating classes of 1924, 1937, 1958, 1965, 1971, I always had a strong sense of all of the lives that lived and learned in those hallways. I never could have imagined how much I’d learn about the ways of the world in those hallways. It’s where I learned about friendship. It’s where I learned about betrayal. It’s where I learned about addiction. It’s where I learned about feeling alone. It’s where I learned about the importance of community and it’s where I learned about love.

In 1990, Buchanan School was the first place I ever played music in front of an audience other than my family. It changed my life, forever. I’ll always be grateful to Mr. Don Wyatt for encouraging me to share the gift of music. I’ll also be forever grateful to all of my classmates who gave me an opportunity to share something that would fuel my purpose throughout my entire life. To me music and love are synonymous. Thank you Buchanan School for teaching me to cherish that with every part of my being.

It’s finally done, my first mural!! It has been a long weekend full of lots of painting, sunshine, and fantastic people. Such a huge list of people I have to thank for making this happen:

Firstly, @peggycreativeideas @mightyfineartist @fococreativedistrict for making this possible and believing in me.

Secondly, All the local musicians (tagged in pic) who gave me permission to use their photos as well as cheer me on with this new project. It is an honor to have your support, I hope to give some back with my art.

@swissgoldie for always being encouraging, making meals, and being patient while I paint, paint, paint! You encourage me to be the best version of myself. I love you.😘

Last but not least, EVERYONE who came out, friends, family, and strangers. Your comments, compliments, respect, and support mean so much no matter how little it may be.

I hope I got everyone in there, if I didn’t. Thank you too. I hope to do more mural work soon. Until then, be well, stay safe, and please, please keep supporting the arts no matter what that may be!

Remember, “When In Doubt... TURN THE MUSIC UP!”
