If you are searching for a way to make a difference or to share the gifts you have, I can’t think of a better way than to share the joy of music. I want to see us share the joy of music with everyone who wants to participate, with everyone who wants to come together in our community for the arts. I want to see our community come together, as we do so beautifully to support this family and all other families for whom music studies might be out of reach. I don’t want to see another child have to have a difficult conversation with parents about the financial reality of being able to afford to pursue an instrument, or attend camp, or take lessons. And a few days later a grateful sparkling Julianna Grace came to pick up the harp and sign an instrument loan agreement.*** ***So we decided not to auction off the harp, but to add it instead to our instrument lending program. And her parents were very responsible and gentle about explaining the reality of the situation which is that the harp is easily worth over a thousand dollars and not in their budget. Her eyes sparkle with wonder when she talks about the harp. “And I don’t want to love it, if we can’t afford to take it home.” “Because I am afraid I will love it.” She whispered. “Why are you afraid?” Her mom asked, after all they had been talking about it for some time. But soon they stopped by the office in person and mom admitted to me that the little girl was afraid to play the harp. Could their daughter come by and play the harp they asked? She was only about 11 years old and was starting her music studies with the piano, but had since developed a fascination with the harp.įor a while we couldn’t connect I thought because of schedules, or because I had missed an email from them arranging a time. Last winter in 2020, a family got in touch with me because during the course of their regular piano lessons, they noticed that a small harp had been donated to our auction. I think you will agree the song she chose is perfect. When I asked if she would play something she found uplifting or peaceful she chose Meditation by Thais. She declined saying “Cascadia has already done so much for me. I offered to pay her for her time, or to make a donation on her behalf to a charity as she offered in her message. I thought, what a beautiful idea to offer music to connect people and asked Keeley to be a part of our project for Give Methow that year. And indeed that is what Keeley has spent her summer doing: visiting people at their homes, at Jamie’s place, or for a birthday, socially distanced, outside with masks to offer some music and some company. She offered her time freely, or if people wished they could make a donation to a charity of their choice for her playing. Keeley Brooks offered to play for anyone who needed an uplift, or a birthday message. Their website confirms that they're now working on an entire unplugged album.Early in 2020, when it was clear that coronavirus would be around for some time."Evacuate The Dancefloor", "Everytime We Touch", "Pyromania", "San Francisco", "Summer Of Love" and "Ready For Love".Title Track - All of their main albums.Stalker with a Crush - "Stalker", unsurprisingly.Sound-Effect Bleep - Heard in "Fever", where a bleep-like background noise that's there for most of the song turns louder than it should on a certain line.The music video for "Pyromania" is rather gratuitous with shots of Natalie's legs. Or in some situations, she'll only be wearing underwear from the waist down. She's Got Legs - It's very common to find Natalie wearing a mini-skirt or mini-dress.Of Corsets Sexy - The music videos for "Because The Night", "Fever" and "The World Is In My Hands".Obsession Song - "Stalker" is an aptly named song about Natalie stalking someone she's madly in love with.
