Floating Bodies

Hi Everyone!  It is already the middle of March and we are still getting snow showers every other day here in the Seattle area.  I think last week was the busiest music teaching week of my entire life.  I barely had time to think.  Thinking is over rated right?  I did start writing a few new songs, and I should have an acoustic CD finished by this summer.  My studio is up and running, and I should have my first song completed by this weekend.  My abstract feather series, original Plant People, and Wine picture are still showing at The Scotch and Vine in Des Moines. If you would like to Help this artist and a great charity - 20% off all art at the show and the miniatures www.lauriemillermodernart.com. Email me at: bassnlegs@aol.com if interested in buying any art.  Art can be shipped with additional shipping and handling fees.  A portion of all sales is given to NCADV - Helping Women who have been abused by domestic violence -http://www.ncadv.org/.  
Thank you!
My son, Michael, has his beautiful photos showing at the Lynnwood Library Gallery this month:

I'm still gearing up for my song, art creation, and poem a day for a year.  I need to  take a few more vitamins and eat some more Wheaties, and then I'll begin my creative journey once again.
Have a Nice Day!  xxoo Laurie

Lines of Madness

Hi Everyone, I've linked Peter Frampton, 'Lines On My Face,' as my tune for this posting. I actually wrote this poem at my gig last night, Redline with Tim Turner and Billy Spaulding, but I could only read half of my "doctor's" handwriting today. Home setting up my studio tonight, yeah, so much to do and so little time. Have a nice evening. xxooo

Lines of Madness
Lines of madness
Running through our genes
Create strange imaginings
From beginning to end
Trapped in a labyrinth
Of snake like coils
Exhausted in archaic
Dimensions
Designed deep within
Calling out in subdued
Whale like tones
Lines of madness
Nobody home

Connecting The Dots

Hi Home from teaching lessons and then playing a gig at the Pike Place Bar & Grill with Tim Turner and Billy Spaulding. Musically it was a fun gig. Physically it was a bit painful due to this chest cold/flu body achy thing. I hope it doesn't turn into pneumonia. I'm starting to chronically cough, but I do have a doctor appointment tomorrow where I'm sure the doctor will clue me in. This guitar player about 15 years ago down when I lived in the Bay Area turned me onto this song, Duran Duran's Ordinary World.
I really like the universal message of this song.

Connecting The Dots
Connecting the dots
Of have and have-nots
Closing my eyes
To the whys?
Realizing and interfacing
Creating a new landscape
Of future possibilities
An escape route
Which will lead
Away from
The negative limitations of my
Ego daresay

Throbbing Feet

Hi everybody!! I'm home from playing at the J & M in Pioneer Square with Dr. Z and The MDs. I love the grooves and playing the Hendrix. After five gigs in five days/nights it is time for me to say, "nighty night!" xxooo

Throbbing Feet
I’m feeling my heart
Beating in the balls of my feet
Lub dub, lub dub,
Lub dub, lub dub, lub dub
My personal foot masseur
Is almost a half a year late
Lub dub, lub dub
Lub dub
Maybe I’ll cut
My feet off
And use them for
Fishing bait

Lushes Cupcake

Hi Everyone. What a long day!!! 11 am till getting home at 3 am. I'm about to pass out, so I'll make this quick. I played bass on a recording session this morning, taught lessons, and played a new gig with Dr. Z and the MDs at the J & M in Pioneer Square. Musically it was an awesome day. Off to bed!

Lushes Chocolate Cupcake
Lushes chocolate cupcake
Waiting for me
What color will your
Creamy filling be?
A cherry surprise
Or a peanut butter delight
I know I keep you home alone
On a plate
But only because I know
My final fate
Once I take a small sweet bite
I will lose my self love fight
