Happy Easter!

In the spirit of Easter- the real spirit, not the one of cute white bunnies and pastel colored hard boiled eggs, but our savior, Jesus Christ, who died for us, so we may live forever- I have posted this song-The Greatest Story.

Bless Our Soldiers

As Easter is approaching, I am reminded of our troops, who are overseas away from their family and friends. These brave men and women chose to enlist in the military to fight for OUR freedom and safety. May God be with them and watch over them. And may they return home soon!

Bless Our Soldiers-C 2008, Michelle Reyes

Kate Voegele starring on One Tree Hill!

 

 

 

Has it been that long? As I was reviewing my library of podcasts, I noticed that I had posted the interview of Miss Kate Voegele on February 11, 2007. For those of you who heard it last year, you may want to refresh your memory. It’s fun to listen to interviews, etc of artists when they were first starting out. And to those of you who didn’t yet hear what this musical powerhouse is all about-here’s your chance to get to know her a little. I am currently trying to get an updated interview with her, so let’s hope. I know she’s extremely busy at the moment, but I’m going to keep trying!

It’s been a busy year for this rising young star- She signed and released her MySpace Records debut album, “Don’t Look Away”, which has been very successful.

Kate Voegele is “Mia” on One Tree Hill!

She has been headlining all over the country and playing with artists like John Mayer and Ben Lee. She was interviewed by numerous websites, magazines and TV shows, including Billboard Magazine, Cosmogirl.com and CBS Saturday Early Show’s Second Cup Cafe. Her music is receiving national radio airplay. And most recently, she won the role of “Mia” on the popular CW series, “One Tree Hill, which started with its January 22 episode. The show airs Tuesdays, 9/8 central. This is her first acting role as she sings and performs her own original music on show. She has a few more episodes left this season, so check her out! I did and she’s amazing! This 21 year old singer/songwriter and now actress is rockin’ the socks off the USA and beyond!

Kate Voegele is “Mia” on One Tree Hill - performance clip!

At the moment, she is planning a full tour itinerary surrounding the set’s re release, which will feature a new album cover, reflecting her role on One Tree Hill. Copies of the album were first released in May 2007 . You can purchase her CD/Digital Downloads at Target, iTunes! or her official store on her website.

Valentine’s Day part 1

 

It’s that time of year again…A time of chocolate and roses, the colors- red and pink and hearts, hearts, everywhere- all playing a part in this universal “day of romance”.  I will also be celebrating since I have gotten bitten by the Love Bug- last April actually.

To me, he’s my angel and often I call him my “Music Man”, as I’m sure many of you do as well, since he is often our personal DJ, opening up brave new worlds, as he enhances our listening experience.  He brings to us sometimes never before heard lyrics and melodies, we otherwise would not have had the privilege of discovering.

It’s Mr. Rockollections himself, Mike Pell! To make a long story short, we met at WLSO. Miss Planet Music, was introduced to Mr. Rockollections by the infamous Uncle Shag and the rest is history.

I made this podcast for him a little while ago, and we thought it would be nice to share it with all of you. There are some great songs on this podcast- ones you may be inspired to share with the one you love.

Just a few notes- I utilized my Music Man’s approach with regards to presentation.  And this little puppy was originally 80 minutes long, so I split it into 4 segments. Yes it’s the same exact podcast I gave to him minus a few “ums” and “you knows” taken out just to clean it up a tad, nothing added or changed. Each part will be posted with no extra introductions, leading immediately into the next segment.  

I must warn you, there are some real beauties on this podcast, songs that you’ve probably never heard before- little treasures to discover. There may even be a song or two you find that says exactly what you want to say to your sweety, just like I found with all these messages from my heart!

Here’s to those who have found their special someone and to others who have yet to find him or her- May it be soon! I’m a firm believer there is indeed someone for everyone. And when it’s meant to be, they will find you- just like my Music Man found me.

Happy Valentines Day to you and yours and God bless!
