A group of high school students at an art gallery were a rapt audience- calling out requests, asking questions about us and the music, challenging us to play their own beat-box rhythms.
“Wow, that sounds so cool!” says a student with eyes lit up as I show her a “trick” that will help her with a challenging portion of her music.
An elderly man at the health care facility where I play for the lunch hour, finishes his meal and rolls out without saying a word. He returns with a guitar in hand and starts strumming along while another man has come over to sing.
A woman approaches me with tears in her eyes and says “I just love that song! Thank you so much for playing!”
These are the things that make me really love music! I could play for myself all day, but the joy is multiplied when there’s a listener who loves it too!
Thank YOU for listening!
Happy 2012, Everyone!
I know, it’s the time of year when we’re all planning and dreaming of what we hope to do, accomplish, change, improve for the upcoming year. I have my own hopes, dreams, and plans that I’d like to make reality. Whatever your goals are, remember that every single one of them requires the exact same action:
DO
A good friend, and amazing brain-stormer, will often end her emails to me with “Do it. Do it. Do it.”
I can’t say it any clearer.
Do. Or it won’t matter what you dreamed.
‘Twas the weekend before Christmas
The shoppers, they scurried.
But Dawn knows a secret
to make you less hurried.
Why, of course! one stop shopping
So easy and quick
The gift of music
Will do just the trick
Just visit my website.
It’s easy, you’ll see!
And the best part is
Buy 1, Get 1 FREE!
Share with your family!
Share with your friends!
But hurry, shop quick!
Sunday, this deal ends!
(BOGO deal is good on purchases of equal or lesser value at www.DawnMichelleWilliams.com – to redeem, make your purchase at the website and send me a message about which additional album you’d like to receive. Multiples are ok! Thanks for sharing!)
I’m learning both- in music and in life.
- Balance between these two is one of my biggest challenges. If you have a dream and are working towards it you have to be persistent! No one is going to make things happen for you- it takes desire, hard work, dedication, motivation, and anticipation. Knowing what you want, moving towards it, and expecting it.
- Yet, there are so many things over which we have no control; situations and timing that is completely out of our hands where we simply have to wait. Patience. Understanding that things will happen in due time, not necessarily in our do-time.
- It’s been a year: a year of ups, a year of downs, a year of excitement, and a year of uncertainty. I’ve had many amazing experiences as a musician and also my share of frustration and insecurity. But I look forward. I will be persistent and keep laying the groundwork for success: composing, practicing, networking, and getting the word out there. And I will be patient and believe that things will happen with the time is right.
