The State of Things


             Easiest thing in the world is to think, we all do it everyday, consciously or not-so-consciously.  Hardest thing can be to distill that ethereal miasma that inhabits our mental landscapes into the concrete building blocks we call words.   I'm horrible at it myself, which is why I often stare at this blank blog page and will the words to form without my active involvement in the process.  Hasn't happened yet, and probably will never happen, which in and of itself is a good thing.  

            Out there where you all are at, some of you have obviously decided this blog is worthy of a revisit, whether it's because i have had a fleeting moment of brilliance by choosing to be a Terry McDermott fan or my wistful meanderings have caught your brief attention.    So you're back wondering what else this blog writer has to say to her random readers. 
 
           You've stumbled on the blog of a quirky, but relatively uninteresting person.  It's been a lifelong habit of mine to observe others, without attracting to much attention to myself.  I get people in general, but sometimes think others find me to be a bit of an anomaly.    Hahaha.. join the club! 

             Some of you know I started working this week,  housecleaning for a shut-in.  Her name is Dorothy, and she actually a retired nurse who became incapacitated through a series of accidents that were not her fault.  She has a fountain of knowledge and   connections to places and people which astounds me at times.  It's fascinating how you can meet someone living in relative inconspicuousness that has so much history.  At least I think it is..

Yahoo!Music hosts Terry McDermott and Todd Burman !!


(copied from Lyndsey Parker's Reality Rocks blog on Yahoo!Music)

      "The Voice's" breakout star Terry McDermott may have placed second on Season 3, but he's done quite all right for himself since leaving the show--and it all came together organically for him, in a way that never would have happened if he'd been tied to a record label. Just last week, while on a visit to Los Angeles, he got together with his buddy Todd Burman (formerly of Australian band Juke Kartel); the two wrote the power-ballad "Pictures," put it up on SoundCloud, and the response from Terry's fans (aka the "McHobbits") was so overwhelmingly positive, he rushed it to iTunes. And less than five days after the song was recorded--and less than 24 hours after it became available for download--it hit number one on the iTunes rock chart.



Before heading back to his home and family in New Orleans, Terry stopped by Yahoo! HQ (with Todd) to play the chart-topping "Pictures," along with another new original song that he wrote with Candlebox's Peter Klett, "Over Again." And--to borrow Terry's favorite catchphrase--he sounded totes amazeballs, of course:)

  Great interview and videos which can be found on the following   link!!  http://ca.music.yahoo.com/blogs/reality-rocks/terry-mcdermott-gives-amazeballs-performance-yahoo-music-195334236.html  

  Terry ain't letting the moss grow on him that's for sure!!! 

      As we speak, Todd Burman his producer and co-writer of the new  single, is editing a music video for the song, and I have rumours indicating the release of another song!!!!! 

  Amazeballs of the Totes Variety, INDEED!!!!!

    follow Terry on Twitter @TerryMacMusic, or check out the preview of 'Pictures'  on Terry's account at Soundcloud.. or just buy it from Itunes!! YOU know you want to!!!
