Rain DanceNope, it hasn’t rained yet. But it is early September, the light is fading and the heat wave has broken, which brings with it the promise of (subtle) autumn here in Los Angeles. It’s more than enough to share with you a song off my recent album: “Better Than This Morning”. The song starts with the lines, “Rain is here, early September / Falling lightly, I remember / How we used to sit and laugh / drink our coffee, make our plans”. So drink your coffee and make your plans. Feel your feelings and ride the seasons! xox Better Than This Morning

watermelon2When it’s this hot all I want is watermelon. No ovens, no baking, no starch. Just juice, crisp, sweet, hooray. 3 Piece Watermelon Salad
  • 1/2 watermelon, sliced how you like it
  • 2-3 tsps. chopped fresh mint
  • juice of one lime
Mix it up, eat! How easy is that? The tartness of a little lime juice balances out the sweet crisp of watermelon flavor, and the mint is just a clean surprise. Good for breakfast lunch or dinner! (I had it for breakfast this morning.) xox watermelon1 watermelon3  

Bootleg video time.. A few weeks ago I played my favorite spot in Hollywood, Hotel Cafe, which adamantly does NOT allow video! Cut to, a fan (@loganbruin) and a sneaky phone vid of “When A Train Rolls Through”. It’s basically everything you need to feel like a rock star–fuzzy sound, overblown lighting, wobbly screen. How could I not share it with you?
p.s. Forget me–just look at the pretty guitar!!! xox p.p.s. Check out @loganbruin’s rave (raving?) review of the show: http://bit.ly/18oL2ps p.p.p.s. Note to @loganbruin: love! I was asking people to tell somebody that they love them. :)
