Mother-son (Patricia & Greg) music duo from Alaska. My mom toted her music in the little blue suitcase for years, inspiring our name and title track.

It was 17 years ago today that we began recording our CD. In celebration of that memorable occasion, I created a new video here in 2025. I hope you'll check it out! 😃

I wish I could show my mom our page and see her eyes light up like they always did when she was so happy and surprised. I can only imagine. Just knowing she would be so happy gives me some comfort and warms my heart. ❤️

Charley Pride is one of my all-time favorite singers. In fact, he might even have been the first singing that my baby-ears ever heard. He was a favorite of my grandma's. I have an ocean of wonderful memories of his songs.

This is a new video I created. #Musicislife

Lynn Anderson filled my life with her beautiful music from as far back as I can remember.

I'm thinking about her today on her Birthday and how much I love and appreciate her singing and am so grateful for my big collection of her music in all formats.

I took these pictures a long time ago in my grandma's yard at Moose Creek. I wrote a song about a rainbow I saw as I was driving into town from her house.

My song "Colorful Rainbow" is track 4 on our Little Blue Suitcase CD.

I ran photos through a filter on my phone for the fun of it. It was in the "Remix" category. I'd never done anything like that before.

Here are the results from a favorite picture of my mom from about 14 years ago, and a recent one of me (Greg).

#Internationaldogday My dog George has been gone a long time but after he passed away, I never did get a new pet. I have wonderful memories of the day I got him when I was 10 & throughout his 17-year life.
I wish I could fit all that I recently wrote about how the song I wrote about him came to be.

It was 40 years ago today that I was fortunate enough in a two-day period to see one of four
@sylviamusic.bsky.socialusic.bsky.social‬ performances at the Fair!

I could hardly believe I was finally going to be able to see her live in-concert.

"Poppy Seeds", by The Poppy Family was another favorite album of mom's when I was little. It was the only album by them she owned. I didn't realize they had the big hit, "Which Way You Goin', Billy?" Until years later. I sure like it! Here's another favorite of ours!
