In honor of One Billion Rising:

Creativity moves in mysterious ways.  After attending a V day celebration I found myself perusing One Billion Rising Facebook pages from around the world.  I had been wanting to put together a video for my song Some Pain and all of a sudden there it was...the inspiration, right in front of me.

 


 

Here's what's happening!

September 25 - Bread and Roses performance, San Rafael, CA

Keep me in mind for events, big or small.  I especially love tailored shows...author luncheons, writer events, rotary club or business meetings, etc. Careful thought is given to how the presentation will complement the theme.  Let's talk...Tami@TamiMulcahy.com

Lyrics and Listen!
House concerts…Build the audience!    House concerts are a throw back to the day when you sat around with 25 of your friends and shared your music.   House concerts are not new but they continue to grow as the bread and butter of performing artists.  So when you are polished and ready to take...

Music is free.  So now what? 
Music is free.  This should come as no surprise to anyone.  Recently I lamented the direction music is heading when someone made no bones in pointing out it’s not headed in that direction.  Music is free…now! (read on...)

Lucky Forward Blog...
Re-entry in civilian life long before PTSD was even a word, carrying emotional burdens without professional support, makes me wonder how any of these soldiers went on to live a “normal” life again.  Thus the line in Lucky Forward –
Where ordinary boys became heroic men
Then home to lives that would never be
Ordinary again   (read on...)

Going Pro in Song Writing Blog...
If you watch sports at all, you have probably seen the TV ad “There are over 400,000 NCAA student athletes, and almost all of them will go pro in something other than sports.”  It is a powerful message that I am pondering as I head in the annual “Writers Week” event at our local high school.  (read on...)

What is Lucky Forward?  Lucky Forward was General Patton's army slogan during WWII.  I heard this expression when my uncle passed away...or, as he would say, joined the Great Majority.  A fellow vet and rehab graduate of Walter Reed told stories.  I took notes.  Months later, the intro to this song came to me. But my Uncle was a colorful character...how to capture it all??  Then one day I pulled out my notes and there at the bottom I had scribbled Lucky Forward.  I googled Lucky Forward and quickly found my way to the speech General Patton gave to the troops before the Allied Invasion.  There I found my clarity.

 Here's a home grown video to give the flavor of my emotions as I wrote this song.
