Recently TruffleMusik heard from a painter in upstate New York who was listening to “A Sweet of Brahms” while painting landscapes from the Bloomingdale Bog. He agreed to be interviewed as he prepared for an upcoming exhibit in the Adirondack Artists presentation called “For Peat’s Sake.” Kudos to Stephen Horne Art.
Trufflemusik announces our latest release: A Southern Christmas
This time Liz takes us back to her childhood with ten songs with a sense of humor and also a nostalgic look back. Inspired by her small town upbringing in North Carolina, Liz’s musical heritage traces its roots from the church to country music and forward to singer/songwriter and social commentary. Joni Mitchell’s “River” speaks of melancholy and a Christmas spent alone. “Let it Snow” gets the corn a-poppin’ and the couch feels like the right place for making out. “Sleigh Ride” arranged for an Italian piazza band invites the whole crowd inside to join the party. “Sweet Little Jesus Boy” reminds us to stay focused on the real purpose of Christmas. And “The Christmas Song” and “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” make us all feel warm and happy during this special time of the year.
