STARTING A GIRL BAND!!

1/25/2020

0 Comments

 
is it still called a "girl band" now that i'm in my late 60's?
who cares. i am FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY living my dream of starting a professional all-female rock/pop band.

this is something i have wanted to do since i was a kid...
i did it for awhile in the major Shelly Bort Presents years, but it was short lived... and i am hoping that this works, and sticks around for at least a decade :D

​​here are some pics and videos from our first rehearsal! :D

WE ARE LOOKING FOR A BAND NAME.
nothing gross or female-private-part centered. GROW UP!
this is a real, professional endeavor... and just because we have female parts doesn't mean we are going to name our band after those parts (thanks facebook).

our #1 contender right now is "Sugar Beat" which i love, but makes us sound all young and poppy. don't get me wrong - most of the ladies involved will be in their 20's and very cute and we ARE doing pop songs, but we also want to be taken seriously and i'm not sure "sugar beat" conveys something professional and capable... it is DARN cute, though... i love it.

BLOGGING! Why I Left, Why I Return

HELLO!

it's been years since i wrote a blog. YEARS. maybe 3? at least?
since before i met my husband... yes - HUSBAND.
can you believe it? we can talk more about that later ;D

it's been a heckuva few years. mostly good, some bad, a little terrible....
some absolutely glorious :D

i stopped writing a blog because i felt myself changing and i didn't really have anything else to say as the person i was. now, as a new person - i can think of a few things :D

so that's why i left, and that's why i'm back.
and that's why i'm excited to share new things with you :)

​see you soon💘
