I’m fairly new to the Thursday Thirteen as a blogger.
As a Thursday Thirteen reader, however, I’m an old soul. (On the internet, an old soul is anything over six months.)
So, today I’m doing a special Thursday Thirteen that coincides with the release of my new CD, A Friday Night in One Lifetime.
I’m giving away thirteen CD’s. THAT’S my Thursday Thirteen.
So, here’s how it works:
Leave a comment below.
Any person who comments on this blog from midnight on Thursday until noon on Friday – that’s 36 hours – will be added to a hat for a drawing. Me and my dog will draw 13 names from the hat over the weekend, and I will announce the winners on Sunday on my blog! (My dog would announce the winners, but she has a hard time typing.) The CD’s will be mailed out on August 1.
For those of you who are new to this blog, I’m a songwriter and performer. (and teacher and blogger too.) You can see a YouTube video of me performing one song here. And you can download a free song by clicking the link at the top of the left sidebar. Or just click here.
A Friday Night in One Lifetime will be released on July 31. It is a CD version – with a few extra stories – of my DVD that was released in the Spring. My DVD – Live at the Diana Wortham Theatre – just won a Telly Award.
The songs are all original tunes. There are stories and rants in between the songs. But we gave them their own separate tracks so that you didn’t have to listen to them over and over again!
And in honor of the occasion, here are 13 great links to Thursday Thirteeners who have written about songs:
Blue Monday (this one is funny. she and i have the same embarrassing songs on our iPods!)
rus vw: rhetoric and ramblings (This gave me chills. I always hear song lyrics I wish I’d written!)

Thanks everyone! I’m honored and verklempt. (are catholic girls allowed to speak yiddish?) And really, I don’t mind if you haven’t commented in a while, or if you don’t know my music. This was strictly a fun thing to do. I’ve got lots to do for the drawing! So, I’ll post the winners on Sunday!

Ooops, I think I missed it! It’s only 10:37 am on Friday in California, but it definitely is past noon on your coast!
I’ve never commented on your blog yet, but I am a big fan of yours. Last fall, you were a guest on a conference call for a coaching group I was in. I’m sure you’ll remember. You were making eggplant in your oven while you were talking to us.
(I always remember the trivial little details… those that paint the picture and add color and feeling to the experience.)
Someone in my group had introduced me to your music, and I have three of your CDs on my iPod and love listening to them. In fact, I was just listening to you on my walk along the ocean on Tuesday, and it brought back many memories of the feeling space I was in last fall, when I still lived 5 minutes from the ocean (instead of 40) and would walk every night with your music on!
I saw you’re coming to my area this fall, and I hope to be at your Berkeley concert on September 22nd!
with love,
Angie

Adding my name to the drawing hat. I would love to learn more about your music.

When you mentioned, CLOSE TO YOU, it suddenly brought tears to my eyes. I had forgotten that it was my mother’s favorite song. She left us far too young. She was a crazy Irish lady who was always the last one at a party and had the biggest heart in the world. There was always someone sleeping on her couch who had arrived for tea and stayed six months!

Oops – I’m too late. Bummer! I was in London and just got back last night. Great Thursday 13 though. I’m working my way through your TT links. We are new to TT too but think it’s pretty darn cool. We missed this week but will be regulars with a TT episode every (well MOST) week.

If too many of the winners have cute, dog-like names, I’m going to be mighty suspicious of the selection process! And I realize that I’m too late but I’m writing from Switzerland where it’s still 1996. Cheers!

I see I’m too late to enter this, but what a great idea. Happy TTing!

i dont use itunes (b’c it like takes over your computer and LIFE so I just stick to the streaming stuff and then go buy the cD). just wanted to drop u a note to let u know it’s a pretty cool web 2.0 app for music (if you didn’t already know about it)
