Wow. It occurs to me that I’ve written remarkably little about what’s going on in my life, versus what’s going on online. So let’s rememdy that!
The other night, I went to the party for Burkhead’s CD Release. She’s joined the League of Hockaday Songwriters including Harriet Schock (a rather well-known songwriter from my parents’ generation and my dad’s high school girlfriend XD), and Lisa Loeb, with honorary member Robin Macy, a Math teacher at Hockaday and a founding member of the Dixie Chicks. She and her “band” seranaded us as we munched on barbeque and caught up with friends. She played all the songs on her CD (7, I believe), then did “Wizard of My Heart” solo as an encore, to the delight of her fans. “Harry Potter, oh how I love you, I think I’m going to kill Hermione” and “If I can’t have you, I’ll settle for Ron.”
I love that song. Burkhead is my musical hero.
We were disappointed that she didn’t sing “Government Conspiracy” or “I Wanna Be a Teenybopper,” but oh well. She is but one woman. And she will totally rock Davidson.
