And Now a Song from Jim Messina

To go along with my Kenny Loggins post below, it just so happens on the same day (today),  Jim Messina posted a working copy of a new song on his Facebook page.  I am impressed with his interaction with the fans there and really enjoyed listening to something fresh out of his studio!  He's another huge musical influence for me (Loggins and Messina, as well as solo).

And Now a Song from Jim Messina

Warm-up with Kenny

Just found this cool, short behind-the-scenes clip from Kenny Loggins, one of my musical inspirations (unbeknownst to him).  Some of you singers out there can maybe relate - when you're younger and you try to sound like your favs and then you realize it would behoove you to get past that stage (not that it's a bad thing!) to find your own "voice". Yeah, Kenny was one of those guys for me.

PS. (about a week later as to "finding your own voice") Of course, if you get PAID to sound like some of your musical heroes, like I do in Hotel California (Henley, Frey, etc.), that's a different story!
