There’s nothing like the first cup of coffee in the morning! (Yes, there’s a song in there…😁)

Good morning! ☕️

Happy Sunday! Some thoughts I like writing by hand...it feels more intentional and grounded. My lyrics I have to type because my mind jumps around too much! But for reflections and ideas, writing by hand is just right.

It’s no big secret that I am a huge fan of @johnserrano.bandcamp.com ! His voice and music are so very special. It’s a perfect blend of jazz, fusion, pop, rock, flamenco, r&b, soul…..his voice is incredible and he plays all the instruments himself! Of course I had to get his latest album on #vinyl!

For those curious about Nashville tuning:

It means that the four lower strings (6–3) are tuned an octave higher than usual, while the top two stay the same.

Regular steel strings can snap or worse, damage the guitar.

These are the ones I use.

All of my guitars have names – this is Suzanne.
She’s a steel-string acoustic with Nashville tuning, and I used her on my song January. The tuning adds a little extra sparkle.

Beginnings are often slow and miracles take their time...
Here's a snippet from my new song "January".

If you’re curious to hear the full song, I also shared a video of me playing it on my Patreon here: www.patreon.com/posts/january-lyrics-147268678

New song in the Garden of Creation on BC. When I see beauty in something, there's usually a song on my mind. Just two days after I wrote the song, a snowstorm hit the north of Germany. Did I write it into existence?! I hope I didn't! 😜

When I recorded Fabulous Sceneries back in 2009 and released it in 2010, I never would have expected or even hoped to ever release it on vinyl. But 15 years later here it is!

Yesterday I was on a streetart guided tour in Cologne Ehrenfeld. There’s so much to see! If you go I totally recommend Alternative Cologne Tours! Eva knows many of the artists and the message behind the streetart.

POV: You’re having breakfast at your favourite place in Cologne! 😋

The Hommage is a tiny but wonderful café and the food is delicious!

Just saw Suzanne Vega in Cologne — wow, what a show! The cello was such a nice surprise and worked perfectly with the songs. Stephanie Winters was amazing, and of course Gerry Leonard shone on electric guitar as always! 💫

I wrote this autumn song a few weeks ago, I just heard it in my head…🍂 autumn is just magical. 💫 Here’s to pumpkin chai tea, banana bread and mashed pumpkin! 🎃

Every autumn tells the same story in a slightly different way — golden leaves, pumpkins, squirrels, coffee, getting cosy… so many signs that the season has begun. But the best part? The cats are finally indoors again, curling up with you after a summer outside. 🐾 Full story on my Patreon.

Oh! Who’s that hiding behind the Cats & Coffee Cups CD? 🐈‍⬛☕️😁

It’s #BandcampFriday — the day when Bandcamp give everything to artists. If you’re into shiny discs or old-school tapes, today’s a perfect moment. I can’t ship to the US, but digital is always there. Thanks for being here 💛

This morning I played Coffee and Banana Bread — a song for those “everything feels off” days. Comfort can be banana bread or something else. Today’s #internationalcoffeeday, so here’s a live performance to warm your day. What’s your favorite little comfort?

These past mornings, I’ve been singing a little before the day begins. Today’s song was “Leaves In Autumn” — an older song about memories and friendships. Enjoy! 🍂

My feeling exactly! 😂
Summer is over, and as much as I love autumn, it’s so much to do! I can hardly keep track of the many little things that keep popping up. Also I was going to launch my little creative space this week. It’s definitely coming, so stay tuned! 👀

When in Berlin, I found this wonderful golden blank tape! 🤩

It doesn’t say how long it is but it looks like it might be 120 minutes.

What should I record onto it? 🤔

September is here. It’s a quiet shift. Not quite summer, not quite autumn The change is subtle — but it feels like it’s full of possibilities. A season for slow creativity, new pages, and small restarts.

How do you feel about this time of year? A reset? Still summer?
