Do you read me?

(Unfortunately, I cannot credit the photographer ... as I don't know who took it. Great job!)

My mother's younger cousin, Arlene, is a talented sixth-grade English teacher, in Upstateland, New York.

She's also a great singer.

Go check out Angel Lena's techno-boppy hit ... "Do you read me?"

Fantastic music!

Last night was very exciting, as my lovely cousin Racquel performed at Chick Singer Night, at the Bitter End!

Accompanied by the Chick Singer Night Band, Frank Walker, Scott, and Krissy Holly, Racquel delivered an amazing set. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures (though I was in charge of Scott's camcorder).

You were fantastic! I'm so proud of you! :)

Also in the crowd were a bevy of relatives who all wanted to see Racquel perform at New York City's oldest rock club (hi everyone!).

Go over to Racquel's myspace page or to CDBaby if you want to hear some of her tunes.

Baby Tuesday

No, no babies ... but I'm here to tell you about my cousin Racquel's baby.

(Well, she has two. But they aren't babies)

If you go onto iTunes, and type in "Racquel" my cousin's album, "Baby Tuesday" will pop up. "Baby Tuesday" has been an editor's pick on CDBaby.

Also, according to CDBaby, you'll like Racquel if you like Feist. I like Feist, and I also like Racquel (and not just because she's my cousin).

So go out and support my beautiful creative cousin!
