Pie Making with Shecky

I’ve been driving lately. Out far into the wilds of suburbia, to the home of the ever so talented Michael Sherwood. If you are not familiar with his work see the bio for him under the drop down menu on the Musicians page.

Well now, it’s getting to be a habit. Michael and I have combined forces to create a little treasure trove of very jazzy numbers. So it is decided we will make a record, why not?

I have always wanted to do a primarily Jazz record and now the gods have given the big nod in sweet swinging time.

Each song so far has had it’s own process. I know for many writers that process can be, or often must be, a particular way. Incense, candles, wine and soft lights, some need the blues or a good heartbreak to hear the cosmic songs. Some writers require the pre-requisite suffering artist angst and pain.

Not for this girl, life is hard enough and beautiful enough to cherry pick ideas with careful ease if you just know where to look, or is it listen….

Anyhow, I think the future holds a very jazzy pie for us all.
