WomenSV, the Los Altos Community Foundation's support network for victims of domestic violence, commemorated One Billion Rising Friday with music by Tami Mulcahy, above, poetry and spoken word. The event promoted the value of healthy relationships.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'd 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.
Big or Small Events, contact me. Have a concert in your home. Invite friends for an evening of music. I especially love tailored shows, ones that combine conversation and music...author luncheons, writer events, rotary club or business meetings, etc. Careful thought is given to how the presentation will complement the theme.
