Must rethink alot of things as a producer, artist, and person.

Here are some DEAR DEAR friends of mine.  Shango Dely and his mother Leonor Dely performing in Colombia.  A little impromptu on specialized drums.  Shango is the one in the white shirt and longer hair and that is her mom singing.  I miss my Madrid Family so much, which is where Shango is currently based with his wife, who is also another beautiful spirit.  Need to go back, hopefully within the year.

Please check them out when you can.

Beautiful Beautiful....

HI All!

I'm stressed, exhausted, doubtful, nervous, happy....i'm doing what i love...  performing..or should i say rehearsing to perform next Sunday. 

Here is a picture of rehearsal of myself (standing in the back dressed in black) and 2 of my band members rehearsing this morning.  The full band rehearsal will be next Sunday! right before the show!  Stressful that's when we all have a our 1st full band rehearsal! That's just how it is with working musicians.... 3 of the band members are traveling this week for various gigs ...so hence no time for a full band rehearsal!  Im at the gym EVERYDAY this week!...Eating only lettuce!!  I'm gonna be skinny and my skin is gonna turn the color green after eating lettuce non-stop this week!  AAAH! lol....

Today I leave you with a performance by Beyonce at the recent Glastonbury show....You can say what you want...Even I don't own most of her music....But she's an  AMAZING  performer!  No one can take that away from her!....Even though we do different music/styles, hopefully I can channel some of her energy into my gig next Sunday. :)

Love and Air,
AVIANA

Sandra Day O'Connor

Today is an important day and MOST people don't know it...even I didn't realize it until I read a news report that 30 years ago today...President Ronald Reagan nominated Sandra Day O'Connor to the Supreme Court.

If you don't understand how significant she is and that moment was....then read this..
1. Justice O'Connor became the swing vote on the issue of abortion, allowing a narrowing of Roe v. Wade but refusing to overturn it. "At the heart of liberty is the right to define one's own concept of existence, of meaning, of the universe, and of the mystery of human life," she wrote.

2. She was the swing vote in Price Waterhouse v. Hopkins, finding discrimination had been "a substantial factor" in a decision not to promote a woman to partnership.

3. She was the deciding vote in Jackson v. Birmingham Board of Education, allowing a whistle blower standing to sue for retaliation in gender discrimination circumstances,

4. and in Davis v. Monroe, allowing a girl who'd been subject to relentless sexual taunts by a classmate to sue the school for allowing the hostile environment to go unchecked.

Would the law be different had a man been appointed in her place? The weight of the voting record of other Republican appointees to the Court since 1981 suggests it well might be.

Thank you Honorable Justice O'Connor.  Thank you.
