Live with Lori Lieberman! Lori, whose poem inspired, Killing Me Softly ( Lori first recorded the number-one hit for Roberta Flack and The Fugees), was Women Who Write's very first musical guest. She's also the only artist to do every venue WWW has done––my living room in LA (thrice), NYC, back when we were bicoastal, The Henry Miller Library in Big Sur, and, the streets of Noho, when we did Lit Crawl. She was always the first one I called. Lori has also performed at Carnegie Hall, twice, about to be thrice! December 10th!

Today Live with Lori Lieberman! We'll be talking about Lori’s career which has spanned five decades, producing 20 albums, through to her latest release, Truly, a departure for Lori, as she delves into the American Songbook, with a unique revisit of Killing Me Softly. You haven't heard it until you've heard Lori sing it. And, if I virtually twist her arm, perhaps she’ll gift us with it and perhaps one off her Girl And The Cat, an album Lori considers her life’s work about her and her daughter. 
For all things Lori visit : lorilieberman.com
Did I mention how much I adore her? It’s been way too long. I so can’t wait!

We're Wise To The Whole Set Up (Part Three)
Once again its on as we come through on this Sunday afternoon, a day of reflection. We’re wise to the whole set up after being caught up; catch us as we undergo an internal and external inspection. Soon rocking in your section O-Dog Day Partying or Sunday Jazzing after four five sixing it.. ..aka doing the knowledge, some using a fresh view  / fresh vision along with being authentic when we’re…

"Go to the show.
Go to the concert.
Go to the music festival.
Go on the music cruise.
Go see the legends, your favorites and new artists you dig perform live whenever and wherever you can because you never know if you'll get that opportunity again."
If you REALLY know me, you already know that THIS is exactly how I live. I am so grateful for every live music experience I am blessed to enjoy. My love for concerts, festivals and travel is how I've connected with some of the greatest people I know. Music made us family.
The recent passing of so many of our musical legends has affirmed this for me, and I'm planning to go even harder, 'til the wheels fall off...
#AssembleYourCrew, or go solo ... Just ... do it...
Prioritize your joy through music, and support your favorite artists!
