This song I wrote for a dear dear backer buddy, Sara. She wanted something tough and cool for her two little boys. We had a ton of fun making the stop motion characters. and Logan Reid recorded some wicked cool guitar parts for it...and recorded his actual bathtub drain for added awesome!
its cute huh!
WOW, I CAN't BELIEVE its NOVEMBER!!!
The past few months have been so crazy and excellent.
I will post about it soon.
but tonight is band practice at The Studio.
I'm so lucky to be playing with the guys I am.
I mean there was once a time when band practice was held in a storage unit. now its at a real legit recording studio. oh, and remember how I love Fictionist.
I am opening for them on Thursday. hoo-ray!
The Jubilee of Trees always gives me good feelings but this year the feelings will be the best, i bet.
COME and SEE and FEEl.
oh...p.s. I totally got knocked up. We were SUPER SURPRISED but we couldn't be happier. Baby #3 due in April.
so don't be surprised by my bowl full of Jelly tummy at the show.
Maybe I should get a Santa Beard.

Before I'm Old.
Sometimes when I find out about a new band or singer, I google them to see how old they are. If I find out that they are older than 30 and are just breaking out into the world, I feel very excited for them and It helps me not feel so old.
Sometimes its hard to not say yes to every musical opportunity that comes my way. I want to do everything but I have other priorities, that are much cuter...and much more important. and sadly, that makes me feel old.
Last night I felt a hint of a tug of war between my stay at home heart and my musical soul that wants to sing every chance it gets. I wanted to go play music at a local event, I had laundry to do, dinner to clean up, and I couldn't find a babysitter cuz Jon Butler had night class. I don't think I was acting sad but my three year old came and held my hand and asked me 'Why are you sad?' He could tell that I was thinking. and he reminded of this AMAZING SONG by Fictionist.
Max, I wasn't sad. You made me so so happy.
I have Tiny Hands that I get to hold. and they are what this life is about. I wouldn't know true happiness with out them.
A little more about Fictionist.
They need our help.
and since I know that You guys are super friendly and caring and giving of your time and internet energy,
I thought I would make this to also help them out! They need votes to get on the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine. and turns out they are having a contest too, isn't that just the *Cats Pajamas!
*[this is old person lingo for freakin sweet!]
[and to be completely honest, i didnt know about the contest till after I made this Vid. so hopefully Karma will kick in...]
If you love this song as much as me, go to here and download it for free. but be sure to Help Fictionist out by giving them a healthy-5-star rating.
* To feel extra young and chipper, you could join their street team for your town. I joined their St. George Street team and passed out a million flyers for their last show. I swear it added pep to my step and reduced grey hairs and wrinkles better than a Jack Lalanne power juicer!
The next round ends today so VOTE VOTE VOTE!!
with Thanks and LOVE,
Lyndy

Durango Songwriters Expo: 152 insights to my soul
nothin' comes close, to the golden coast.
checked in to the Andersen's Pea Soup INN.
Will you stop taking pictures and decide where we can EAT!!!
At the conference, my name was spelled as LYNDY BOTLER. silly,'we are not robots.'
Pea Soup Door.
Jon Butler Heaven.
Last weekend was incredible. I am still coming down from the California-high.
I learned a lot about the music industry and more importantly, about myself as a musician...get ready for some self-reflective garble.
last Friday and Saturday,
I was surrounded by many talented musicians from across the country and felt inspired by so many of them.
I had such great feedback to the songs that i shared and Doors have been opened, but do I really want to walk through...
How serious am I about this whole endeavor. Its very exciting but its also completely overwhelming. Do I want to make this my career? career is such a funny word. reer...
I loved so much of my first Durango Songwriters Expo,
but I also didn't love some of it.
What I didn't love was my attitude.
I desperately wanted to fit in with the more experienced Durango attendees. I wanted them to know that I am not just a stay at home momma who has one little cute cheesy song. But I think I came across pretentious maybe?
or maybe I AM just a stay at home momma with one cheesy song?
I am so insecure...like whoa...
i could barf from the butterflies in my belly just typing this.
Are you an over thinker? I analyze and over think everything.
I had a little chat with Trina Harmon, who is amazing.
I cried and laughed and thought maybe what she was telling me was totally bogus but a little part of me thought it was the most beautiful truth.
The whole shabang of our chat was, Just decide what it is you really want.
Once you decide, You will get there.
So What is it that I want?
I know I want to share my songs but to what extent.
Trina said it would be easy to stay in Hurricane, Utah and sing at the Peach days festival or local coffee shop but will my soul be content?
I think it would. I think...
Hmm. we'll see. Im supposed to be getting in shape for my code breaker Music video. But its easier to eat Oreos....Its EASIER. and delicious.
Do I have what it takes to dig in and do something a little more challenging?
like sit-ups?
or the House Concert in Salt Lake I've been invited too?
I hope so.
I'll keep you posted.
As for now.
I am Playing a free show with Carlie Wall this Saturday at Wing Nutz. It starts at 8:30 and think its going to be lots of fun.
Also Playing at the RENFEST at GOGO 37 on April 2nd.
and Just got Invited to Play at the Washington County Fair. yeee-haw!
Thanks for bearing with me as i try to figure myself out. i just need to stop thinking and maybe sing a song.

**Attention ALL Southern Utah Friends**
Erik the Red
and Fictionist ARE playing.
Saturday December 11th at the Electric Theater.
This is probably the best good mood music combo ever.
Erik the Red is happy and tough like when you get a hug from a hardcore uncle who is too tough to tell you he loves you. and that Uncle is totally your favorite. [well Erik the Red is my Fave anyway.]
and Fictionist is like park on the hill over the city and look at all the stars and disappear music,... then 'get it on' music. Its real good. and both times Ive seen them, they bring out the kissing in me...Jon Butler Likes it.
We will be cutting out on the Company Christmas party early to attend this show. You should too!
I am playing a Show On Wednesday at Dixie State College in the Dunford Auditorium. 6.p.m.
Its a 'Sub for Santa Benefit Concert' Should be lots of feel good fun.
Next week, I am playing for The IFA Christmas Party. [The Intermountain Farmers of America, if ya didnt know] and then competing in the best of Open Mic thing at Jazzy... Don't know how I feel about doing it without Lacey.WE are Wildcat Kelly. She will be back from China 2 days later...wow, so Merry and Excited to squeeze her. then sing songs with her.
Hope to see you,
at one place,
or another!
