Hi everyone,

I just wanted to put it out there that I have released my debut cd (I am a singer/songwriter) and it is available on my website www.harmonyd.com. So, if you get a chance and would like to hear something new, check it out (Maybe after a Cathe workout ;-)!) Thanks to all of you who went to my website when I first joined the forums, I really appreciated all of the nice comments :) Take care!

GREAT!!! I'll check it out. Feel free to check out my husbands band site too- I listen to it all the time when I'm walking or at home on my stepper the music really gets you moving....the more I listen to it..the more I like it too. He has a forum and I'd love to see you all in there- check out the mp3's too!

love to know what you think!
 
Hi Harmony. I'm listening to your music samples now. You have an incredibly beautiful voice. Thank you for the heads-up.

I wish you the best in your music career. I think you will go far. :)
 
Harmony, you are really, really good. Not to mention georgous.
I'm very impressed. I play the acoustic guitar and try to sing. LOL!
(I'm more of a couch guitar player.) But I love it. It's my other hobby, like excersice. I'm constantly fighting myself, on which I'd rather do when I'm stressed for time. How much time do you spend a day playing/singing/writing?

Thanks so much for sharing.
 
LUXX26, I checked out your husbands site too.
Very nice, I can see where you could get energy listening to his band.}(


Thanks
 
Thank you very much! I prefer to play the guitar on the couch too (it's the most comfortable ;-)!) It varies how much time I spend practicing and/or writing. If I were more self disiplined I would do it two hours everyday, but I haven't quite reached that yet! I've been singing, playing guitar and writing songs since I was a kid though, and have always known that it's what I wanted to do with my life. I try to exercise and practice music everyday, but some days, like you said it's hard to strike a balance and do both, so I choose one. Some days I just feel like doing one more than the other (the self disipline problem again). I think it's great that you sing and play guitar. What songs/style of music do you like to play?
 
I only started playing 5 years ago. I love your style. I play some Sheryl Crow, Neil Young, James Taylor, Beatles, etc. I also took a couple of years of Classical. I love it all. I have only written one song so far. That's tough for me. LOL! I wish I'd have started when I were younger, but never knew I had an interest in it. I'm 40 now. It's one of the best things I've done for myself in years.
 
Cool! I love all of those musicians. Congratulations on writing a song :) It is the toughest thing and the easiest thing I have ever done. When I'm able to write a song, it (usually) flows very easily, but if I sit down and try, most times nothing comes out. I can make myself write, but it usually doesn't work out or I don't like it. I've read books that tell you to write everyday, just to keep your mind in that place I guess, and practice makes perfect (or maybe not perfect but better). I sometimes like to let things simmer in my head for awhile before I put them to paper. Otherwise, I tend to keep writing about the same things. I'm so glad you found something you love to do, there is nothing better! Music is my therapy (along with exercise). Keep it up :)
 
Thanks- I was just at their practice last night and I couldn't stop moving....it's the kind of music I just get lost in- it takes away my stress and agressions I guess
 
Thank you Kathy :) I am excited about it! I appreciate you taking the time to check out my website :7 I'm having the cd release party tonight at a local venue (if anybody out there is from Louisville, KY come on out!) Wish me luck!
 
Congrats on your first CD! I was in contact with you before Christmas, so I'm glad you popped by - I was waiting for he CD to come out. I have already placed my order and am looking forward to getting it!

Best of luck,

Jodi
 
How exciting Harmony! How was your party? We'd love to hear the details!

WOW!!! It's all I can say! What great voice, but not only that you are a very beautiful young lady.

Best of luck!
 
Hi DebbieH,

Thanks for asking about last night...it went pretty well. My boyfriend gave me whatever kind of funky bug he has and my head was mostly in the clouds. It was so weird, it was like I had never played my songs before. I was pretty out of it. Fortunately/Unfortunately there weren't too many people there. It's extremely hard to get people out, especially on weeknights. I can understand this to some degree, most people have to get up early for work (I played from 7:30-9:30 p.m. I don't think that's too late really). Also, where I played does not get a lot of walk in traffic, so you basically have to bring everybody yourself. I am still in the beginnings of establishing myself so I do not have a huge following at this time. It will just take time to get people out. Boy, I bet you wish you'd never asked how it went now, huh?! On the plus side, everybody that did show up bought a cd so I'm very happy about that! :7 Especially since I have to start saving up for Cathe's next exercise dvd release coming soon!

Thank you Barbara...I don't think I could handle Simon's criticism if I were on American Idol x( , he's harsh! I have to say, even in his sarcasm and crude bluntness there lies some truth to what he says a lot of times. I do like that show though.
