what would i do without music...

every morning i turn on the music...whether it's from the 80's, 90's or new artists i've stumbled upon...one of my 'not necessary' expenses is to Napster, my link to all music, every genre, new and old...i stumbled upon this artist this morning, which i think i could listen to over and over again...

missy higgins is not only a singer, musician but also a songwriter...personally i love a singer that is a songwriter too, for it's a poet to me singing their story...they have my utmost respect...as you all know by now, my son is a musician of many instruments, and a songwriter too...he was also blessed with 'perfect pitch', and it saddens me that he doesn't sing out loud, proud as a bird would...how many artists would be envious of this gift that he has? but, he states clearly, "not a singer"...but i can still hope...

missy higgins -

"Passionate and sincere, Australian singer-songwriter Missy Higgins is a welcome relief in a music landscape littered with disposable pop. The 24-year-old Melbourne native has enjoyed phenomenal success in her homeland, and a growing fan base in the U.S., in spite of, or perhaps because she shuns the usual synthetic packaging and tabloid tackiness. Instead she's adopted a more timeless approach, relying on her undeniable songs and unforgettable live performances to forge a genuine connection with her audience."
