An old poem I put to music last year. This was tough to record a performance of, but kept practicing and I liked this shot best to share.

31 years Today
I did not expect to see it through to 31 years marked today. This year has been impossible, but I’ve created art I am grateful to have finished and have even more works in progress to keep living for. Right now, 10 music albums is my goal. It’s been a month since I released #6 The Cruel Meanwhile. Please check it out if you need some background noise while working..lol / follow me on Bandcamp. I’m used to getting drowned out by the millions of others doing the same thing, but hey I’m still here, happy for the handful of souls who’ve not passed me by. Support in any sense doesn’t come my way easily. One day I hope to be worthy of it, but no matter what, my work won’t stop. https://allysonmarie.bandcamp.com/album/the-cruel-meanwhile
Soul Heard – Remastered
I remastered my first collection of songs back in January / February. Now I can live with them being fully released. No more cringing during play pack, thank God.
30th Birthday. New album release :)
Today is my birthday and for my 30th I wanted to release an album I know I challenged myself to write and could be proud of. I am not disappointed and feel at peace with the best work I’ve done so far.

New album: The Night Will Pass
I did it! Went all out and got the new album I recorded copied with a full color lyrics booklet included. I always wanted to have my own music in a physical format like this. I have extra copies if anyone wants me to mail one (the first ones have a few typos in the booklets but I wrote in by hand the most glaring issues…lol) but anyway here’s a digital link to the whole thing too for free download if anyone cares:
Shed Light
I am putting together a short collection of very old songs I re-recorded and want to release together. This is one of my favorites of those early pieces. I’d had my first piano for less than a year and was amazed at how many ideas I was following through. It meant everything.
My New Album
This I hope will be the last collection of boring acoustic piano pieces. I need variety and will try to make the next set a real difference from prior work. Time to experiment.
Shades of Shadow
I finally finished my second song collection. The painting above is the cover image. It’s the work itself I live for. This could suck to everyone else, but even so, this all accounts for my time here not being a complete waste. We all need something to live for. I’m already working on #3 with an aim to get the music & timing just right for each song. Trying to get things perfect drives me nuts but I can’t help myself…lol
