Kali
I had an interesting end of the year. YOU? All the tracks have been recorded for the new release. Listening to them reminds me of so many people, stories, emotions, places, tastes…. I was asked to work with some friends to play in Hells Belles which was something I hadn’t been planning on with all this recording and travel going on. It added another flavor and intention to the end of my year. It was a gift. At first I was like, “Can I really dig in and invest energy and time and be REAL presenting the songs of AC/DC?” I wanted to do it because the women in Hells Belles are hard working, rocking, women in music. I was fascinated and wanted to help them in transition as well as get an inside view from the most intimate place. I had a blast. I decided I would invoke the Goddess Kali: Destroyer, Transformer, Warrior, Feminine Deity. It was fun. I screamed at the top of my lungs and sang things like Hells Belles imagining dragging the most evil in us to the depths of hell to consume and annihilate the things in us that hurt ourselves and others. I defied the idea of a punitive God with songs like Highway to Hell and I celebrated passion with Touch Too Much. I’ve never been in a tribute band. I loved that I got to do it with some of the best people anywhere. Now I’m on to mix the new record and I feel like I worked some stuff out, singing like a banshee and bringing the Rock. It was more than just a gig. That’s my aim, always. Happy New Year! P
