Pacing and Papers 

My Own Notes from the Underground: Defying Anxiety, Anger, and Depression 29 Dec 2020 

Today I think I had promised a blog on pacing, the restless walking back and forth, that for me indicates racing mind; faintheartedness, and irritability, this is the state I’m in as I’m  bouncing  from one task to another without actually starting the intended project. So many fears, so many voices inside the head… 

But I remember reading about the Sumerian peoples; and according to Sir C. Leonard Woolley, in his…

I Don't Know Everything, and that is Such a Relief!!!! 

So I think I been doing a lot of thinking about how I interact with people and why.  I am a motherless daughter, and a fatherless one as well.  I have been treated as an object for all of my life.  The funny thing is that the people who are treating you that way, they are being seen too....I see what you are doing, and I've learned that being a non-person in the eyes of others, Well it has become comforting...and the horror of horrors,

 

But it still creates incredible pain and panic within me.   So that I…

Entering the Arena of the Performer 

Coming out of a period of when I have not done much with my music, and finding myself now with the space to look to it again with the view of doing some busking again, I do feel stronger technically, and confidently.  It may not look like that, but I know what I have to do now to basically have some fun with this. I'm starting out with Friday NIghts Songs From My Childhood which I publish on Instagram, raw;  and reacquainting myself with the songs that have inspired me growing up, and also realizing how…

So being an independent artist, well, creativity rules in finding resources to make a project a reality., t...and often times its difficult to get one's art out there in its most 'out there' ready format.  Thanks to the internet economy, aka the people to people economy...artists such as myself can leverage a variety of ways of financing their projects. There has been alot of success with crowdfunding sites such as kickstarter and indiegogo!   This is wonderful...because it levels the marketing field for…

What Exactly is Byzan-FolkArt or StreetFolk Art 

The two are not the same.  When I decided that I wanted to play music publicly, it was before I converted to Christian Orthodoxy, I didn't even really know what Orthodoxy was at the time.  Nonetheless,  I wanted to do music without restrictions, and art in general that  true to what was really going on inside of me simply as a human being...At the time I was constantly dealing with the spectre of homelessness...and depression...not always in a healthy way...and i decided to call my music streetfolk.

"that girl" 

Hmmm.  I don't listen to the radio much if at all these days. I read alot...like to listen to news....but very rarely listen to the radio since the 80's, and then before that i was more drawn to 70's -80s rock, folk music and some country...mainly top forty stuff of that era.  that girl was originally called "black girl" and it took me a long time to write it...because it is actually my response to an incident where i was misled by another person...and found my self living on the streets....

but having grown…
