When it came down to brass tacks the song was recorded in 2 minutes. Dad sat down at the piano and played and that was it. And here it is, finally, as requested, my version of Bella's Lullaby!

Ladies and Gentlemen: November is National Novel Writing Month
So, Here's the Skinny:
If you have noticed a distinct lack of updates on our Blog it is not because of your eyes, you can trust your sanity and my perserverance in laying down the fantastically true tales of our family's travels, it's just that...well...we've been kind of busy. Alright, I take that back, I've been kind of busy. In the interest of your sanity and the danger of repetitive key clicking syndrom, there will be very few posts this month. Sorry.
It's not your fault, it's not the world's fault, and most importantly it's not my fault. It's the fault of National Novel Writing Month and my 8th novel which is peeking its pasty, wrinkly newborn face out at the world and trying to make sense of what it sees. To be honest, it's pretty ugly at this point; it's also very time consuming. For the last 16 days my family has watched me retreat into the dark reaches of the RV, shutting out the world and all it's people, so full of enticing distractions, sparkling conversation and tantalizing opportunities for wrist massages. I have become a hermit in my own home, glowing in the eerie blue light of my computer, the only sound the fruitless slamming of fingers on computer keys...okay, it's not quite that dramatic but you get the point.
An "I Love this Blog" Moment:
Okay, so maybe I'm procrastinating at this point, but it's for a good cause! You deserve to hear what's going on out here in the wide world of musical entertainment and travel. My novel can wait 10 minutes while I type this, and even the couple of hours it will take to find reliable internet to post it, then it's only a matter of copying it word for word onto the Blogger web site (why I can't just paste it, I'll never know.) chasing down a reliable parental unit, running it through the mom spell checker and presto! All my writing time has suddenly evaporated into thin air. Yes! I love this Blog!
Back to the Original Point at Last:
Anyway, the chronicles of our adventures will return with shiny new pictures, lot's of new words (thanks to Kat's SAT Preparation, can anyone say "celerity"?) and tidbits of information you never wanted to know about our family. Time stands still for no man, and the road calls us onward. We are still bouncing all over the country meeting new people, playing new shows and generally whooping it up, it just hasn't been written yet...heh, Oh dear. Let's just say I'll have a lot to write this December.
