YOU MADE ME WANT TO SING

Posted on November 5, 2010 by Judy

Here’s something interesting – I wrote a song for both you and Cindy. It was called “More Than You Know.” I lost touch with both of you around the same time. Cindy and I have since reconnected and I might write about that some time. My recorded song has “revised lyrics” that address loss more for me. I will share the original lyrics in a moment. I just redid the vocals on that song, too. The timing of all this is so interesting for me!

I’m looking forward to catching up!

IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN-PART 1

Posted on November 3, 2010 by Judy

I am able to share more background on “It Might Have Been.” The three verses speak to my relationship with Michael. The first verse was our romance. The second verse was when I left him, because he was far too serious for me. Then there was the last verse. I wrote: “It might have been, when I called to you in my pain . . .” In 1980, I was in a car accident about a block from my home. It was a painful experience for me at that time in my life.

HOPING I’LL SEE YOU AGAIN – PART 2

Posted on October 31, 2010 by Judy

I’m glad I’ll be home tonight. I want to post our beautiful correspondence. I am working hard to edit it down, but that’s not an easy task. I do think your honest words about your mom’s housekeeping would be something a lot of people might relate to. Anyway, I am most excited that I took the time yesterday to play around at home with B’a M’nucha. I’m enjoying listening to it on my iPod. The harmony is so beautiful and now you can have it all come back to you. I’m going to share my recording with you now. Enjoy! Continue reading →

WE’LL STILL FEEL THIS LOVE

Posted on October 28, 2010 by Judy

When I heard from Sam, my boyfriend of four years (age 15 to 19), I was reminded of my friend, Carol. That was because it ignited my vivid memories of the very last time I saw Carol. It was shortly before my “formal” wedding in June. When I’ve thought about Carol, it has been sad for me. My memories of our friendship were deeply buried. It was such an abrupt ending that our friendship had! I remember our last encounter vividly. We were riding on a bus to the Hollywood Bowl; it had been awhile since just the two of us had gotten together. I was busy planning my wedding and coping with the stress of my “secret marriage.”
