Sarah Buxton - Crash Into You

Sometimes you have those days when you just shouldn't have got out of my bed!
Those days can turn into months and even years if you don't just keep going.

I think the word attitude gets a bad wrap and has too many negative connotations.
I am learning everyday that your energy, attitude, vibe can really influence people.
Its only taken a few decades and about twenty or so self help books, the universe and Oprah.

I have also learnt not to be afraid !
If you don't make mistakes, you wont learn and hence grow from the experience.
Yes cliche but true....so too bad.(see attitude)

When your a kid, you just go for it and don't worry about what others think, but unfortunately as we get older we start to judge others and ourselves to sometimes become our own worst enemy.

So this brings me to Sarah.
Sarah Buxton is a singer/songwriter who wrote one of my favourite songs called 'Stupid Boy'.
The song was covered and a huge hit for Keith Urban.

Here is a clip of her singing 'Crash Into You' and unfortunately it doesn't go according to plan.
I will also include her song 'Stupid Boy' just because the song is so so so good !

So I'm starting the new year with attitude, determination and the amazing ability, to laugh at any situation I totally stuff up and Just Keep Going!

If you crash, crash and learn !

When is a Noodle not a Noodle

Truth or Darebin ?

Darebin Songwriters Guild last hoorah until next year!

I prepared three songs to perform, and one of the songs had to mention Christmas in some sort of way.

Oh Jesus, what was I going to sing for that song !

So I borrowed a few books from the library including a Christmas Carols book...but alas the Carols book was wonderful, but most of favourite carols have those dreaded barre chords.

It is my New Year resolution to stop using my wonderful capo friend, and force myself to play barre chords.
I've tried lots of times, but I'm so impatient.

 But that's probably another post....later about barre chords!

We also had to bring something to share...well I always have plans of grandeur.
In the end reality bites ..I asked a friend for her recipe for ' chocolate spiders' .
Not the incy wincy kind but the noodle kind, hence the title of this post.

Well let me tell you I went all out and made dark and milk chocolate spiders.

Then presented them in a Christmas box complete with cellophane and red ribbon.

Thinking I had everything beautifully organised, I was excited about the last Guild and how I had taken tiny little footsteps to finally stop writing and playing for my audience of one and taken my music beyond the bedroom walls.

However it was not all Jingle Bells as I had incorrectly looked at the work roster and was meant to be working my day job. I also  planned a quick getaway from my Mums house who was babysitting but my little boy didn't want me to leave.

So I was feeling incredibly silly about missing work and guilty about leaving my son!
Off I went hesitatingly to sing a couple of my little songs.

Well I finally got there and my performance was okay.....and I added a verse to my song 'Chocolate kisses' to include a Christmas message.

 But the chocolate spiders were the chart topping hit!

The Guildians loved them.

The moral of the story is that " Chocolate will always save the day".

So I will sign off from this post!
