I don't have a lot of time, I have to rush out the door to catch the panels at Kindiefest this morning. But I just had to take a moment to say how much fun I had last night at the opening reception. Sirius/XM's Kenny Curtis gave a wonderful, upbeat speech (complete with catch-phrase bingo!) and then Dana and I networked heavily (read: drank and mingled with an awesome crowd of fellow Kindie stars). 

I'll do my name-dropping thing later. For now I just wanted to say, Two…

When writing songs, I used to think it was all about the first moment of inspiration... that first time I'd play an interesting progression of chords, or hear a melody in my head. And if it didn't all come to me at once, I usually didn't pursue it much further.

But over the last few years, I've discovered that the songs I'm generally most proud of are NOT the ones that popped into my head nearly complete. The ones I appreciate the most are the ones I've kept coming back to,…

This Saturday we play the Memphis Botanic Gardens annual Family Egg Hunt.  This marks The Friendzies one year anniversary.  It has been a wild and crazy first year.  In this first year we went from being a concept to being the MBG’s children’s house band.  We released our first album Time 2 Play in July of 2010 and are now in the process of ordering our second run.  We can not say thank you enough to everyone who has helped and supported The Friendzies.  It is because of you that this is…

Hey Everyone,

   I wanted to reach out to the Sprockster universe and try to set up drinks, coffee, or beverage meetings for Kindiefest next week. Would love to try and get a group together or a mini group possibly, to talk shop and enjoy the spoils of Brooklyn. Look forward to hearing from everyone.

Sincerely,

 …

Our new contest . . .

After a few years of working nearly every Saturday and Sunday, I've recently started blocking out a few weekend days every month. While it's not easy for an entertainer to turn down gigs, I realized that, while I'm out there performing for other people's kids, my OWN kids are growing up faster than seems possible.

While, yes, my children often attend my performances, it's not really the same as enjoying the day together as a family. It's work, and while I love the "work" I…

Welcome to the inaugural blog of Patricia's Music Musing!



For those of you who are parents or grandparents, you probably already know how important age-specific music is to your family.  You might sing or play songs when riding on car trips, putting little ones to bed, being together at play time, dancing in the kitchen and so on.  Sure, you might sing and dance to YOUR favorite songs; don't we all want to share the music we love?  But there is something very special about songs…

A steady courtship has evolved into a special relationship for our guy and one of the favorites in his cast of six strung friends. Jason bought his first Godin as a back-up nylon string in 2003 and put it behind glass… “BREAK IN CASE OF EMERGENCY” The glass was soon shards with the instrument becoming JR’s ‘go-to’ nylon string electric both live and in-studio. The pioneering synth access, record-ability, play-ability, good looks and special sauce make the Godin…

Ya-hoo! Greetings from POLKAVILLE! I'm still unpacking my boxes from the POLKAVILLE!, but so far the new "house" here at SPROCKSTER looks great, and the neighbors, cool!
