Thank you for the sweet compliment, Apollo.

My boyfriend, Alex Borges, wrote “Something” about a break-up with a girlfriend many years ago, but it has a timeless quality to the lyrics. That version was actually recorded in quite a hurry (over one weekend) because we were rushing to submit it to the Jim Beam Unplugged competition, in which I placed second in the regional competition and Alex Borges placed first, moving on to the finals in San Juan. (My goodness, was that really 2 years ago?)

I’ve always thought I could have done a much better job with “Something”. I have a lot of emotional issues linked to my voice that I’m trying to overcome. I’ve come a long way, but as Tolkien said, “The road goes ever on and on…” Anyway, I’m glad that you liked it. 🙂
