New Songs, Yay!
I posted some of my new songs up on myspace.com/laolga
They are almost finished but you can get an idea of what's going on! I have to give major love and props to my dear friend Cody Dickinson who is playing the majority of the instruments and Winn McElroy who's engineering and production skills are unmatched.

It Is What It Is
Thought I would share the lyrics from one of my songs on the new album called "It Is What It Is"...
It is What It Is
Looking back I can see
The bigger picture in front of me
At the time I was so low
Couldn’t tell which way to go
Some folks tried to tell me
What it is I need to be
They spoke of what they know is true
Because they had gone through it too
It is what it is, it is what it is
One thing that I know now
It is what it is
At the time I couldn’t hear
Their word were falling on deaf ears
Wisdom can be only learned
Through the experience earned
I cannot change the past
And I cannot always have my way
I take the good and the bad
And let it all fly away
It is what it is, it is what it is
One thing that I know now
It is what it is

Love and Music
I haven't blogged in forever it seems, and though I have often thought about it, just could not bring myself to, as there was nothing I felt I could really talk about at the time publicly. See I have been making a lot of big changes in my life in recent months, life changing decisions and have not been in a place to be able to talk about it, so I have been keeping it close to home and the heart.
The last several years have been very emotionally difficult for me, for reasons I cannot get into. But I can say that I really lost sight of who I was and where I was going. In essence, I was turning into another person and it wasn't someone who I liked or who made me happy. It was not until last summer when I began recording my songs and working on my album, that I slowly started my ascension out of the deep hole I was in. In fact, I didn't know how lost I was! Now I am at the surface, and for the first time in a long time, I feel like I am back on track to where I should be and should have been all this time. I cannot look back with regrets and as they say, everything happens for a reason. Truthfully though, I have had some days filled with regret of past decisions I made that ultimately lead me down the wrong path. With the recording of my new songs, I began to feel important again like I was rediscovering my soul and I realized that I do have something special to offer after all. I don't know how or when I became so low, I suppose it was little by little with each passing day. But all that is behind me now, I have moved back to my true home, New Orleans, to start over and I also made the heartbreaking decision to leave my marriage. What is left after all was said and done is only love and music. This is who I am and this is where I will be from now on.
As for my album, it will be finished very soon. I am so incredibly amazed and proud of what we have done. Yes I said we, as without my two talented and lovely friends Winn McElroy and Cody Dickinson, it would not have become the beautiful work that is is. And without the experience I would not have been able to find my soul again and climb out of the dark.
More news soon...
Happy Easter!

Can't Sleep
All week, I have really not been able to sleep much. It's not like I'm not tired, because I am, I just can't sleep. I took a Melatonin and ended up not falling asleep either. When I finally did, I awoke to swollen eyelids. Turns out I had some sort of congestion in my eyes instead of my nose. Strange, huh? I have learned that as you age, your body starts to do unexplainable things...it's something new all the time. The only thing I like about getting older, is that emotionally and mentally, I am wiser and able to handle many more things in a more responsible and mature way. I was always mature for my age, even as a young girl, but I really am only just starting to know, and even then, it is still something new all the time...

Chores
Things to do this weekend which I am procrastinating for a bit longer:
go to home depot and get supplies
clean and prepare walls of 3rd floor apartment for painting
paint the third floor apartment
unpack and clean the basement
Once I start rolling it will be easier, but it's the move on that is the hard part!

She's baaaack!
She's baaaaack! After many moths of not blogging, because the experiences I was having were really too personal to talk about in cyberspace, I decided to start anew in '09 and make blogging a priority. Actually, I read a lot of blogs almost everyday, mostly political and some gossip ones (I know, lame,but it's like sugary candy though).
Let's see...last night I was probably the only person voluntarily staying in instead of pAArtying. Why? Well, I just got home late the night before and have been on the move most of the month and just, well, felt like staying in and waking up without a hangover for one New Years Day. I have done that a time or two before, but that was because I would get up early and go skiing instead. This morning however, even though I stayed in, I could hardly wake up and fumbled around reading blogs and drinking coffee for a couple hours. But my day started to get a move on and I did a bunch of things around the house. I, we actually, have a lot of unpacking and organizing still left to do from moving (the last U-haul from Memphis was 12 Days ago) and also from December travels. The house was in quite a disarray not to mention the basement. So, I got a move on that today and plan on painting the 3rd floor apartment and finishing that up this weekend.
January 10th is Twelfth Night for us. The Krewe of Muses is having a big party and that's when I'll put out my Mardi Gras decorations. I am very excited about Mardi Gras I am a total freak about it if you couldn't tell already.
And I also am continuing work on my album which is really starting to shape up nicely. Lot's more to do on it and more songs, but it's coming and it will be the best of my efforts. As I had previously mentioned, my good friend Cody has been a huge rock for me during this process and really invaluable. Many people do not know what all he can do aside from amazing drumming for the Allstars, but they are about to find out really soon and they will be agape with awe! And that's no joke. My friend Winn has also been a great help in this process. He is a pro-tools engineering whiz and also a top musician whom I have been learning about in recent months as well. I think all three of us have been doing something outside-the-box this time around and it feels great!

New Tracks in Progress
Hey y'all
A couple of months ago, I posted two new songs on myspace that had only drums and guitar (Cody Dickinson and myself) on myspace just for fun. I now uploaded newer versions of those songs, still unfinished, but you will get to hear how things are shaping up for my new album. We had a jam-packed three days in the studio this past weekend, and made a lot of progress. I will say, that the new album will sound nothing at all like what I have put out before, expect for maybe my voice. If you are hoping for more blues you will be disappointed as there is no blues on this record. Some of you will love it, others will hate it, but it is what it is and will be.
However, I will point out and maybe some of you will catch it, that my songs are usually based on classic R & B structure or old school blues, especially from north MS. That part is still there and always will be, as that is what I have been around and absorbed for years. However, I'd like to be able to produce it as such that more people can get into it and understand the messages I am trying to convey. A lot can be changed with the drums and instruments added. In fact as many of you probably know, most of the music on the radio comes from blues and old school R & B, it's just evolved over the years.
So, enough artist talk. The musicians on these two tracks so far are:
Little Is Known
Cody - drums, synth
Jimbo Mathus - guitar
Justin Showah - bass
and WInn McElroy engineering booth of these...
Nothin' More to Say
Cody - drums, synth
Jimbo - guitar
WInn - bass

The Best Bailout Plan Yet!
This was an email forwarded to me. I think it's a fabulous plan so I thought I would post and share. ;)
Subject: The Birk Economic Recovery Plan
I'm against the $85,000,000,000.00 bailout of AIG.
Instead, I'm in favor of giving $85,000,000,000 to America in
a We Deserve It Dividend.
To make the math simple, let's assume there are 200,000,000
bonafide U.S. Citizens 18+.
Our population is about 301,000,000 +/- counting every man, woman
and child. So 200,000,000 might be a fair stab at adults 18 and up..
So divide 200 million adults 18+ into $85 billon that equals
$425,000.00.
My plan is to give $425,000 to every person 18+ as a
We Deserve It Dividend.
Of course, it would NOT be tax free.
So let's assume a tax rate of 30%.
Every individual 18+ has to pay $127,500.00 in taxes.
That sends $25,500,000,000 right back to Uncle Sam.
But it means that every adult 18+ has $297,500.00 in their pocket.
A husband and wife has $595,000.00.
What would you do with $297,500.00 to $595,000.00 in your family?
Pay off your mortgage - housing crisis solved.
Repay college loans - what a great boost to new grads
Put away money for college - it'll be there
Save in a bank - create money to loan to entrepreneurs.
Buy a new car - create jobs
Invest in the market - capital drives growth
Pay for your parent's medical insurance - health care improves
Enable Deadbeat Dads to co me clean - or else
Remember this is for every adult U S Citizen 18+ including the folks
who lost their jobs at Lehman Brothers and every other company
that is cutting back. And of course, for those serving in our Armed
Forces.
If we're going to re-distribute wealth let's really do it...instead of
trickling out
a puny $1000.00 ( "vote buy" ) economic incentive that is being proposed
by one of our candidates for President.
If we're going to do an $85 billion bailout, let's bail out every adult
U S Citizen 18+!
As for AIG - liquidate it.
Sell off its parts.
Let American General go back to being American General.
Sell off the real estate.
Let the private sector bargain hunters cut it up and clean it up.
Here's my rationale. We deserve it and AIG doesn't.
Sure it's a crazy idea that can "never work."
But can you imagine the Coast-To-Coast Block Party!
How do you spell Economic Boom?
I trust my fellow adult Americans to know how to use the $85 Billion
We Deserve It Dividend more than I do the geniuses at AIG or in
Washington DC.
And remember, The Birk plan only really costs $59.5 Billion because
$25.5 Billion is returned
instantly in taxes to Uncle Sam.
Ahhh...I feel so much better getting that off my chest.
Kindest personal regards,
Birk
T. J. Birkenmeier, A Creative Guy & Citizen of the Republic
PS: Feel free to pass this along to your pals as it's either good for a
laugh
or a tear or a very sobering thought on how to best use $85 Billion!!

NOLA meets Gustav
24 hours ago, all the citizens of New Orleans were facing their worst nightmare ever since surviving Katrina: another major hurricane making landfall in our city. This time, it was a he and he was called Gustav. On Saturday night, major Ray Nagin gave a press conference announcing the mandatory evacuation. It scared the crap out of me and I could feel my stomach falling. At the time, Gustav was a category 4 hurricane, killed over 90 people in Cuba and decimated it. He said Gustav was about 900 miles in diameter and was the "storm of the century". I know I was not alone thinking that New Orleans was going to be under water again and totally creamed. It was a horrible, horrible thought that I thought maybe I was dreaming.
I had heard from most of my friends in some way about where they were and if they left. Two friends of ours stayed in town. One was holed up with what he said was "a month worth of food and loads of ammo" with his buddy a few blocks from our house, and the other in Harahan with his family who owns a hardware store out there. They stayed to be part of the first reponse team. Knowing that, I felt a little bit of comfort.
All day yesterday I was glued to my laptop. We are in Memphis and here we do not have fast internet nor cable tv, so finding information was incredibly slow and tedious, especially since there were many people online trying to do the same thing as me. Last night was a long night and restless one. Though I slept, my thoughts were on the storm, on our house and on our city and my dreams reflected my worries.
This morning I awoke and still bleary eyed, opened up my laptop to find out the latest. To my relief, Gustav had weakened to a Category 2 when it hit Cocodrie and quickly went to a category 1 not long after. If it was not for this, we would have likely seem more widespread flooding, more damage and more problems no doubt. By some miracle, the levees held together for the most part in the city and wind damage was reported to be minimal. Power was even on in parts of the city! It was even reported that Houma was spared on the most part so the good news continued. The state and city-wide response and preparation to Gustav has been remarkable. I am wholly blown away by how organized everything has been and I'm sure I am not alone in feeling real elation and pride in our state, state officials, city leaders and police department, national guards and citizens for it.
As far as specific details about our house, I do not know yet, but I do know that our neighborhood for the most part held together, so I feel really good about it. Hey, what's another roof? We've only done it 4 times since Katrina we practically have a routine!
My prayers and thoughts are with Grand Isle, Lafourche and Terrebonne Parish who took a big hit. Plaquemines Parish is having a hard time right now too. Information is still coming in from other towns and Parishes who took a beating and my heart goes out. Somehow, going through this together not only as a city but as a state makes me feel closer to the citizens of Louisiana.

As far as specific details about our house, I do not know yet, but I do know that our neighborhood for the most part held together, so I feel really good about it. Hey, what's another roof? We've only done it 4 times since Katrina we practically have a routine!
My prayers and thoughts are with Grand Isle, Lafourche and Terrebonne Parish who took a big hit. Plaquemines Parish is having a hard time right now too. Information is still coming in from other towns and Parishes who took a beating and my heart goes out. Somehow, going through this together not only as a city but as a state makes me feel closer to the citizens of Louisiana.

08/08/08
Not sure what all the 8s and 0s would or should mean, but I did notice the date today...
On another note, some sad and annoying news today and yesterday. Annoying news first:
So how on earth could John Edwards have an affair, a love child, use campaign fund to hide his mistress, AND run for president not thinking that all that would come out?? I bet the Demo's are wiping their brows that he did not get the nomination, else the party would be wholly screwed. When they show interview clips of him it is so obvious he liying through his teeth, all the while with a half smile on his face (just don't think I would be smiling about all that, bud). His body language screams it! Do these people ever learn?? I mean come on!
Now sad news: Bernie Mac died last night! Man, that is so so sad. I loved his Bernie Mac show, watched it every night after the news (we don't have cable, at least not until Feb. 2009 when we HAVE to get it as regular t.v "will no longer work" --another government shakedown). Anyhow, that was some tragic piece of news and I wish his family well...
Why I am blogging about the news is news to me, but it's been on my mind this morning over coffee...
