The Oct. 1 Sinners Circle 14 was a perfect storm of soulful, music-making sinners and a circle of ardent, attentive listeners.
With some finger-picking ballads at the ready, I was thrilled to be able to hear a pin drop as I played and then to get that warm rolling soft thunder of appreciative applause. My words had been heard.
Marco Frucht knocked some funny, rocking tunes out of the park, Vince Tuckwood put his fine touch on some powerful narratives and Jake Carpenter delivered his special sound and some of his dad Jim’s work deftly and articulately, with that modest, direct look at the audience.
Bean & Leaf is a wonderfully comfortable, homey place to play. And how often can you perform out and really be heard?
I feel privileged to have been included in the circle.

About userloseit
The new and previously published songs you may find here are meant to heal the soul, counsel the heart and resonate on the strings of my acoustic guitars in a way that, hopefully, changes you as they've changed me.
I am a 50-years-young gay woman with two published CDs, "Letting Go" and "Love Is Hard." I hope you'll share with me your views on the observations and songs you find on this blog.
I live in New London, CT with Mickey and Clinton, two mischievous but lovable cats. I spoil them and they spoil me.
Userloseit is a name that stuck based on a grad school assignment, and it makes a weird kind of sense: I've played guitar since I was 10 but didn't really start writing songs until a few years ago. Use it or lose it. If Mom and Dad could see me now they'd be smiling.
