Michelle Will now available on CD BABY
Posted on December 4, 2008 by michelle
Howdy friends, family and music lovers. An exciting development in the process of getting my songs out to the world is that everyone can now purchase my CD from CD Baby! The songs will be available for digital download soon but for now you can get a CD copy delivered straight to your door - dare I say it….just in time for Christmas. Sorry, but you don’t get a free set of ginzu knives…just great music. 
I’ve been crazy busy teaching songwriting and english since Sept, but I’m really loving it. I’ve also been super busy doing lots of curriculum development and other administrative work for SASS (School Alliance of Student Songwriters). It’s a very exciting year for the program and I’m sure that we’re going to see lots of growth in the new year. I have a performance coming up in February too at my pal David Blair’s CD release party. I’ll have more details in January for y’all so make sure to come back often. Till then - be safe, have fun and go to CD BABY! Much love
How It Really Does Feel
Posted on August 8, 2008 by michelle
I find it amusing/interesting that the lyrics to some of my songs mirror the things happening in my life - A LOT! I guess it’s no surprise really since the music I write is about things that are important in my life. Case in point: I just got back from a quick but exhausting trip to Texas to visit some family. One of the highlights of the trip was seeing my sister in law graduate with her nursing degree. She did this while parenting two young children and did the fast track program in just one year. I am so proud of her! As I was listening to How It Feels I quickly realized how much that song could have been written just for her - she agreed. When I wrote it, I was thinking about my friend who at the time was really going through a rough patch in her life and I wanted to write something to cheer her up, but that could also be universally understood. I’ve had several people tell me since its release that they listen to that track in the mornings when they need a boost. I have to say that it “feels” really good to know that while my songs have not made worldwide acclaim (yet!) there are a few people who really relate to the songs. As Martha would say….it’s a good thing!
New Web Site
Posted on June 3, 2008 by michelle
Welcome to my new website. This launch coincides with the recent release of my four song EP which is the culmination of several years of hard work, and at the same time the beginning of an exciting new time! The first thing I have to do is to say thank you to all my friends and family who gave me all the support and love needed to make the music happen. Joel – where would I be without you – you are the reason I stay sane! To Beth Dunlop who is an amazing artist and who designed the artwork for my CD and this website. Don McLeod and David Blair – wow, what a blessing you are to me. Ali - you have given me many great ideas over the past couple of years and I thank you for being my sidekick! Thanks for believing in the music, the continuous support and the push when I need it. Here’s to many more years of great tunes!
I look forward to communicating with all of you and letting you know when my shows are and what I’m up to. Check back often for updates, pictures and life lessons. I hope that you will use this site to send me your ideas, thoughts, rants and most of all love. We could all use a little more of that. Everybody hang in there and work together to make things better.
