Random facts: ~"miga" (MEE-ga) is like unto "amiga". My music channels are called "hermiga" (air-MEE-ga"). Think Spanish for proper pronunciation, since that is the etymology. Gracias. ~Seems like every FAWM I'm starting a new job - same is true this year ~It's cold (why do you think I'm always writing songs about winter???) ~I've become a birdwatcher in my middle ages ~I picked up a little acorn "hat" months ago and put it on a ceramic toucan in my dining room - very dashing ~I'm finally able to practice gratitude again, after years of being fed up with just about everything ~My country is falling apart ~Kyrie eleison ~My 7yo piano student wrote a surprise song for me to play - inspiring! 😇

Gear: -acoustic upright Everett piano (which hurts my ears) -Yamaha FG-461S acoustic guitar (it's pretty and old) -Novation Launchkey 25 -Garageband in iPad, LiveLoops for kicks -maracas, around here somewhere, and maybe a nose flute as well -Yeti Blue Nano mic

FAWM goals: 10-12 songs; finish a few that are laying around; try not to be a fraidy-cat about songwriting in 2026 ("It's not working. QUICK, do something easy like Instagram!!!"); have to write at least one silly song, for my husband's sake.

I put a few songs on Bandcamp recently (don't just stand there - BUY something! 😜😬😂). My Youtube channel link appears here - optimistically, songs I write and like get posted there. There's Instagram also, but I try to be inconsistent with social media.
