Your moment to be free

Here is a set that I created this week. It was commissioned by the Ohio Music Teachers Association for the national conference. I couldn't help thinking of the sadness of the song "Blackbird" while working on it, hence the title "Your moment to be free." I've used a great pendant created from a scrabble tile, sterling silver 8th note charms, wonderful sterling connectors whose scrolls really look like f-holes and a bass clef, moonstone, onyx, and Swarovski crystal.

Amos Lee

I can listen to Amos any time, whether I'm designing or driving the kids. I have even been known to play Amos Lee during those rare moments when no one is around and silence is actually a possibility. It seems to fit my mood always. David even has his albums on his alarm clock playlist. We saw Amos in concert last week at the Madison in Covington. He is such a humble and seemingly kind man, that you can't help but fall in love with his persona. I must also mention that he is refreshingly intelligent and well-spoken. His music, which is dark and sweet all at once, seems even more authentic to me after seeing him on tour. His whole band is made up of fine musicians, and I'm officially a fan. Just waiting for the next concert!
