Fellow Poetess: Vienna Teng

Recently I have rediscovered an artist who I deeply appreciate. A few years ago, I heard a song entitled, Gravity. I thought it was lovely, but wasn't in a position to pursue further info on the artist. However, as is often the case in my life, nothing of true beauty escapes my ears for long. I was listening to my Pandora radio station, when I heard a voice that seemed extremely familiar. Long story short . . . I found Vienna Teng. Now those who know me best understand my excitement. You see Vienna is both a poet and a brilliant musician. It has been far too long since I have been this excited about a singer, but I am addicted, so you get to hear about it. After a few minutes research I have discovered that a new album is in the works, and I have already purchased the other three (thanks to my husband for spoiling me silly).

My reasons for enjoyment are varied and many, but suffice it to say that I am thrilled to find someone who knows the vital importance of beautiful, and often painfully so, lyrics. Art flows from her. I hope you all get a chance to listen to her music and hopefully buy some CD's. Check out some of these links, and see why I enjoy her music so much. My music player on this blog is currently loaded with several of my favorites.

coolies about the the music and Shakespeare. I've been re-reading Auston and am planing on dusting off my Nortons and giving myself a booster shot of literacy.

How come your blog looks cooler than mine? *shrug* Ah well, on some level it's not worth the time to figure out as I spend most of it feeding and changing the halfling. I like it though! *smiles*
