August 23-Millar’s Private Party

Live Looping, Layered Jazz and Original Music from 7-9pm

Find out about Shannon’s Wanderings and listen to her new music!

Find Yourself New

Mid-afternoon, I sit at the table with my guitar, wandering through a song. My baby Ronan, in his playpen right by my side, reaches out and slaps my guitar. I say to him, “Be gentle with the guitar, Ronan, gentle.

I play. I sing. I wander through rhyming words, making meaning in song. I sing:

You may find yourself new, and if you do, you may like it…

Ronan starts crabbing and carrying on, so I sing to him:

Please help me, all the way through, ’cause if you do, it may happen to you too.

Find yourself new.

He was receptive. Ronan is an intelligent being. I explained to him that I write and sing songs — if I do the work that is meaningful to me, I can enjoy being present and playful. We can enjoy being together a whole lot more by doing what we love. When we live in harmony and listen to each other, we can be together.
