Video - Lisa Lynne plays Celtic harp for Luminaria walk

Greetings friends.

On Saturday June 9, 2007 I played as I do each year for the American Cancer Society Luminaria Walk. It is part of an all day "Relay for Life" event at Santa Anita Racetrack. This is just one local group putting on this weekend event, as part of the whole nation of souls working towards the fight against Cancer.

All day the groups, people of all ages, many children circle the racetrack on foot. The entire track is lined with hand colored bags honoring their loved ones who are in
the fight or have passed from this disease.After the day is done, they bring all the
champion children to the stage and announce their earnings and give them prizes and crowns. Its the sweetist thing you will ever see.

Then my part happens. I start to play the harp, there are hundres of candles waiting in buckets to be lit, and the woman asks the audience, "Who here has a mother or a father who is dealing with cancer, many people come forward to get their candle lit. "Who has a brother or a sister, a friend or colleage, and so on, and before long every single person has come forward and stands with their candle.
Then they all prey together, and do the final walk around the racetrack in prayer and meditation.

Here are some images caught from that, that I have edited together as best I can.
The music is from my solo harp CD titled "Quiet Heart" The song is called "Walk with me" I hope you will feel what I felt when it was happening.

All the best... take care of yourselves and your loved ones.

Video demonstration of Lisa Lynnes favorite instruments in the recording studio

Hi Friends, I have been learning my new video camera in hopes I can create some video content of my various adventures for this blog site. Its all quite new to me being on both sides of a camera but I am learning alot.
Here is my first try.

Since I am working on a new recording, and often there is waiting time in a studio, I put the camera on
a tripod and played around showing the various instruments I was using between recording takes. It is indeed a little rough, but hopefully a little interesting too. It shows about five or six of my main instruments I use, and lasts about eight minutes.

Lets see if this works.....

Photo -Monday mornings...

Hi Friends,
Its a typical Monday morning and I'm sitting at the little Valdosta airport, getting ready to fly to Atlanta and then fly home to Los Angeles. It was a festival weekend and beautiful spring days here in Georgia. The festival was called "A Love Affair" because it took place on Love Street in a small historic town. The people are so very nice here and they sure seem to love the music. This is my fourth weekend in a row coming to Georgia just one more weekend to Florida, then home for two whole weeks..yay. I usally go somewhere by airplane about 3 out of 4 weekends a month. Out Friday, back Monday..All the way from LA to the east coast somewhere. I actually love to travel and see other places, sometimes the traveling is a challenge, but I really don't mind it.

I have aquired some new video equipment and editing ability so soon I will be posting videos of some road adventures. Its incredible what you can do now right from the laptop so please check back soon for that.
Gotta get up.. time to get through security... more soon..

Below: photo of me at the Georgia festival festival weekend.. Is she concentrating, or is she asleep....?

Photo - Late night tracking at my house

Hi friends.. its late at night and I'm sitting here at my laptop between recording takes. zzzzzz..
I am doing accompanyment music for my friend Amy Frosts meditation CD. I met Amy years ago at City of Hope as she was there as a grief counseler, we became good friends and have done lots of projects together since. We go to various retreats and she does "self-care for caregivers" workshops. She is there like the TV host and I am the band on the side that plays on cue while people do their excersizes or drawing or visualing. Anyway, she does great work www.AmyFrost.com Every Wednesday she calls me and asks what I have done for my goals. She takes meticulous notes on what I say I want to do, and then busts you if you didn't do it. We call ourselves success teams.. and every Wednesday morning I am rushing to get done what I said I would do, before she calls. Its all good.

My house has a studio in it, mostly its for all my music, but other people come and record sometimes too. Mostly spoken word while I do the background music, but now there is a Mariachi band doing work here, and last summer we did a record for Hudost here. www.Hudost.com It came out really nice.

Enclosed is a picture of my fireplace that I'm looking at right now.
Time to go back to work...

Photo - Lit from Within

Hi there, I am still learning how to use this blog program
so I'm just going to post some cool photos for now.

This photo I just got today, its a picture from Febuary
when George and I played for his daughter
Chandrika's wedding. It was magical, etherial, surreal.

It took place in a botanical garden in Gainesville, Florida.
This shot was takin moments before he put down his
flutes to walk her down the isle. The bliss was so high
that there is light coming out of his solar plexis... literally.

Welcome
