In honor of tonight’s CCMC student concert, I thought I’d share my performance from my last CCMC student concert, back in 2008.
On guitar: Chris Gramp and Mike Wollenberg
On bass: Karen Horner
As is the case with all camps, the humor here is mostly in-jokes.
A couple of keys:
1) All week long I was in guitar classes taught by Chris and Mike: Chris taught a class called “Your First Lead,” and Mike taught beginning jazz guitar. As you’ll probably deduce from this recording, there was much discussion in Chris’s class about not using too many notes, and not forgetting to breathe. And yes, we all had to sing our guitar solos.
2) The big news around camp for a couple of days was when Chris’s wife, Nina, lost her wedding ring in the river. Much joking was made around them now being single again. Then, lo and behold, someone actually found the wedding ring in the river, and they were restored to their marital state.
(And apropos my July 15 post on comparing yourself to where you used to be, rather than to your heroes or your goals: listening to this track, though a bit painful, was great validation of how far I’ve come vocally in the past two years. Onward!)
Oh, and btw, although you can’t see this on this audio, Chris and Mike were beet red during much of this song.
Enjoy!
When Melissa offered coaching, I jumped at the chance. I gained such HUGE insights! Each time I came up with a reason that I couldn't, she came up with a way that I could. In the end, she gave me an assignment, a realistic and doable one.I'm happy to say that not only was my creativity jumpstarted, but that the love and the joy of creativity is back. 
Melissa... has an innate way of not just seeing and creating options for clients, but sparking the creativity you already have within you to come up with your own solutions. Our time flew by... I left inspired and ready to take action. 
In my time with Melissa, I was re-energized, admitted to the things I need to stop doing, found the things I want to be doing and was given easy actionable steps to get me back in the creative swing of things. Simply amazing! She is full of energy and wonderful ideas. 
I absolutely love your daily butt-kicking inspiration. It really pushes my creative button --- makes my socks roll up & down!
