Haven’t stopped racing around. Quick trip to San Diego next week for work, then an idyllic week after Labor Day at Sisters song camp — will be good rejuvenation. Little girl at the farmers market last month led to a new song, reinforced this last week by listening to ten-year-old Karma, and bar-mitzvah-ing Zeb, and 27-year-old Tongva Meli, all delightful. Listening to Beth Wood under the oaks with the Severs yesterday had me pondering my family home and eternity. The things that happened to me are not unique. Everyone deserves compassion. I am so grateful to be able to see sunshine and leaves.</p>Marilyn Jordan Musictag:marilynjordanmusic.com,2005:Post/57324562018-06-05T13:30:00-07:002019-04-25T13:39:46-07:00WHAT'S UP, SUMMER 2018?!<ul> <li>
<strong>BAND.</strong> I continue to play a couple shows a month with my band, Arlene Like Jolene, in the Corvallis, Oregon area. Memorial Day and Labor Day at the vineyard are divine, and third Saturday (usually) each month at Teri's Downtown Dog in Lebanon are always rejuvenating. I'd love to see you fill up with some of that energy! The winery is SUCH a gorgeous place to spend a summer afternoon...</li> <li>
<strong>JUST ME!</strong> I play solo shows regionally in the Northwest a time or two each month. McMinnville! Catch me at your farmer's market July 28! </li> <li>
<strong>GEEKING OUT. </strong>I am honored to have been asked to play an instrumental version of Leonard Cohen's Bird on a Wire at a friend's wedding in late June, so I'm using learning that song to explore and grow stronger my understanding of relationships between notes and chords on guitar fretboard and piano. Pure Music Geek Happiness...</li> <li>
<strong>WHAT ABOUT THAT ALBUM? </strong>My plans to start studying sound engineering in a class that sadly was cancelled -- wah! -- derailed my plan to use the spring months to connect with a producer and start recording... so stay tuned on the next steps of that high-priority project!</li> <li>
<strong>WOMEN KNOW WHAT'S UP. </strong>And on the purely fun and true path, that house camp I went to in February has led to the wonderful <strong><a contents="Erika Gabonay Grantz" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://twosmallhands.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">Erika Gabonay Grantz</a> </strong>and I starting an intriguing new duo. Watch this space to see what we come up with. I think you will LOVE it. I do for sure...</li>

My first trip that far east and south (aside from the Northeast) gave me a glimpse into the grand buildings and high hopes of my great grandparents, who lived there in the early 1900s, and the tiniest view into what life is like now in that area, 2000 miles from my home in Oregon. Nice new song came out of it, too! Thank you, Magi Disher Leone for introducing me to the Ozarks and Oz!<br><br>And then the music -- wow, the music.
