Sally and Me

The official launch of Sally Folk's album, Sally and Me, took place last week at Le National, a gorgeous theatre/concert hall in Montreal. In a vibrant display, with kiosks set up for mini manicures and makeup applications, Sally Folk and the Shoop Shoop Band showcased their talent.

The Montreal native is a self-made author, composer, and singer. Sally is a representation of the spontaneous, free-spirited self, whose goal is to unite women of all backgrounds, and break free from social norms.

The black-bobbed, red-lipped Sally is accompanied on-stage by an astonishing medley of musical genius making up the Shoop Shoop Band, which gives the performance a modernized, big-band feel.

Sally and Me will be available for download at most online stores. Copies of the physical CD will be exclusively available at live shows, where 2.00$ from each album sale will be donated to Young musicians of the world. Young musicians of the world is a non-profit organization that provides free education and training in traditional music to children in the low income category.

Keep an eye out for Sally Folk, I’m sure we’ll be seeing much more of her.

My Generation

I received a forwarded email from my mom last night with a link to a video. In her note, she said, "This gives me hope that your generation will get it right." I found this interesting and thought I would share.

This video, submitted to an AARP contest called "U @ 50" by a 20 year old, is powerful. Watch the video in its entirety - listening and reading throughout. The first half is distressing, the second instills hopefulness. I too, hope we can get it right.
