It Sings Itself - Part Two

After unwinding the cord from my purple and white finger, I lower the phone back into its carriage and get up from my chair.  Walking towards…

It Sings Itself - Part One

I can’t find the file that I am looking for.  After spending several minutes randomly opening file after file, I decide to do a digital system search for it.  Clicking on the start menu…

As my surgery date approaches, I have noticed that both Mike and I are getting more and more anxious. We are both just not quite ourselves. I can see it wearing on Mike through little things. Lately, he’s been forgetting…

Mike Speaks: His Last Blog Post

Sabrina and I talked a lot about the blog and I decided that I am not continuing.  Sabrina, on the other hand, will continue with her blog. With all the work we have taken…

Sabrina Speaks: Fear and Gratitude for Music

With illness comes the inevitable hours of contemplation. I’m certainly not immune to this and having gone through a major illness in the past doesn’t seem to alleviate any of my worry. I…

Mike Speaks: How I Became a Left Handed Guitar Player.

I am a right handed person, but I play guitar left handed. I do a few other things left handed like play hockey, and although I golf right handed, I…

Sabrina Speaks: My Health Crisis

Today I sat out on my deck as I contemplated what to write about.  The topic – thoughts on life – is just so grand and vague all at once.  I took a deep breath…

Mike Speaks: The Holiday Inn and Silly Pranks

Thinking about my favorite gig there was a lot to consider.  There are different kinds of gigs such as a club gig (typically 3 to 6 nights), one nighters, touring gigs (either…

Sabrina Speaks: My First Love

For most of my life, I was considered a fat girl.  In elementary school, I was bullied because of my weight. I remember one time a boy did a two-legged drop kick to my ass…

MIke's Worst Gig: The Welland House 

When we decided to write about our worst gig this week, I had to do a lot of thinking.  I have played all across Canada, the USA, and many other countries. I have played…

Sabrina Speaks: My Elementary School Super Hero - Mrs. Smedbol.

I was in Elementary school during the 70s. It was a time when school districts payed extra money to have a dedicated music teacher in the schools.  Currently, that’s rarely…

Mike Speaks: Steamer's First Tour

Steamer was the name of our band. We got the name from a character in the 1975 movie “Walking Tall Part 2”.  The character’s name was “Steamer Riley”. Steamer started in Kamloops, BC and became…

We're happy to announce the 're-start' of the Sabrina and Mike Live blog. Mike and I have decided that we're both going to write something each week in the hopes of getting to know you better. This is exciting and…

This keeps coming up for me and just recently I’ve come to terms with it.  I kept feeling sorry for myself, believing that I was no one’s bright shining star potential with the ‘it’ quality.  I was not the favorite…

The holidays are such a great time of the year for me.  It seems that it can create kinder, more generous people.  It can turn takers into givers.  It can create more love in our world.  Of course, I know…

As many of you know, I have had the pleasure of performing for all different age groups.  At my most recent performance, I was oddly drawn to one girl who was sitting way in the back.  She was quite pretty…

Loss.  I’ve been struggling with this concept.  It seems that loss comes as a lesson in many forms. How I’m experiencing it these days is that I find myself attached to the idea of an outcome and that outcome is…

What I seem to find the hardest in this business is learning to be happy for other people's successes.  It seems that every day, almost every hour, I'm faced with a post about something amazing that is happening for someone…

I don't know why but the saying ‘It’ll be a foggy day in hell before that’ll happen’ popped into my head just after I opened the page to write today. I believe that there is no such thing as an…

I woke up and I am still pissed off at the world.  A lot of spiritual types would condemn me for being angry and tell me that I'm being negative.  I don't agree.  Anger is one of the emotions that…

So, it's been way to long since I blogged about anything.  I have been feeling like I couldn't speak honestly about how I was feeling because I was concerned that I would hurt certain people's feelings.  I have since come…

Since I started thinking about all the thoughts that limit my success, I’ve been thrown into a world of really deep self reflection.  I have found so, so many things and I feel that focusing on them has left me…

Chapter one of “Wishes Fulfilled” talks about changing how I see myself and what beliefs and limitations I hold that limit my own wishes being fulfilled.  I'll explore this concept further as I get deeper in this book I’m sure…
