Are they building others up or are they tearing others down? Are their words of love or are their words cruel and harsh? I have observed and experienced both types. I am always happy to be around my fellow artists, because we are usually uplifting.Aline Vidatag:alinevida.com,2005:Post/43429732016-08-26T03:39:33-07:002016-08-26T03:39:33-07:00Finally, the new EP is availableWe worked on it very hard. I am grateful to have a cool songwriting partner to keep momentum going. <br><br>I went back to New York, NY to record it. I had some delicious lobster rolls from Luke's Lobster Rolls.

This was a positive experience. Another female singer who I have respect for as far as her vocal ability referred me for this. I do not know her that well as a person, but she has an admirable work ethic from what I have observed. Her name is Megan Wild. So, I have to thank her for this recommendation. Seattle U's staff is the epitome of professionalism.

Monday, January 11,2016. I had the pleasure of being a guest on 91.7 KSVR in Mount Vernon, WA. The show is called Love Train and it is hosted by Stanley Drummer.
It was about an hour away from Seattle. He interviewed me and brought me down memory lane. I had fun. He is a fun host.
I look forward to the future.Aline Vidatag:alinevida.com,2005:Post/43865192015-12-27T03:35:00-08:002016-09-22T17:56:15-07:002015This year. I made my first US song placement on the tv show Justified. I received my first royalty check for a US placement and moved officially to Seattle proper. I performed at El Corazon, at Hempfest,at Seattle University, and on Critical Sun Radio. I would be a liar if I said I never missed NYC, because there are times when I miss it a lot. I was able to go back and record more music and got Aline Vidatag:alinevida.com,2005:Post/43865202015-10-10T20:27:00-07:002016-09-22T17:56:15-07:00Blood Moon Orchestra

Home is wherever my mother is. There was a death in our family and it made it very clear to me that I was way too far away from my mother should we ever need each other. This clarity has brought me across the country again. The first time I went across the country was actually out of the country to Sweden. Now it is from New York City to Washington state.

Thurm suggested that we meet. The audience Kareem attracted seemed very loyal and attentive. I haven't seen such great listeners since I saw Tommy Flanagan at the Village Vanguard years ago. I dusted off some standards from my brain. It is always good to be versatile although my spirit leans towards rock much,much more.
