Sending out prayers to my Mama for your aunt -- what a harrowing experience for her, you & your family, and what a miracle that she made it and is on the road to recovery! Your niece sounds like a mischievous, adorable whirlwind of delight. It's good to hear the sparkle & joy back in your voice, as well. :-)
I listened to this while rambling the neighborhood with our dog, and stopped. dead. in the middle of a block when you moaned our names -- well, mine anyway -- you made me blush & giggle, sir, and that's a rare accomplishment these days! Poor Nala didn't know why I stopped... and that's the second time today that you've delighted me but confused one of my pets. ;-)
A little envious of all your travels; you Europeans have so many countries at your doorstep!
Looking forward to getting the nickel tour, to seeing recording "HQ" & to hearing what your more "out-of-the-box" & collab stuffs end up sounding like. Don't worry about every audio pleasing every listener; different women want different things, and it's really cool that you're exploring the directions you want to go as an author/performer while still trying to respect the variety of your listeners' tastes.
On that thought, though... not so sure how well you really know "the female mind", tbh, if you actually think there's such a thing as a unilateral "*the* female mind" with consistency in "how it thinks" or "what it wants" -- we're a much more varied lot than Jung ever gave us credit for. At least you're open to learning, though -- good on ya for that! :-)
Anyway, thank you for a lovely Ramble: Part the First. I appreciated the blend of funny/silly, philosophical, vulnerably honest, and randomly indulgent that you shared with us. Can't wait for the Gutter Puppies & Still Life readings, and whatever else is in store... (& sorry for the long comment; I have trouble with concision when I'm tired or in a hurry, which is much of the time that I post here.)
