RACHEL AND INVENTIONS

The main purpose of my creating this site was in answer to Rachel Fuller's blog. I wanted to post with new-found friends who are also interested in her and her music. It has been quite an adventure! There are so many more voices out there celebrating Rachel and her music than there were when she first created her own blog a few months ago.
Rachel has proved herself a sincere artist, singer, songwriter, as well as an individual with a wonderful sense of humour and an enthusiastic love for what she lives and does - my kind of girl!

It was through Pete Townshend that I first became aware of Rachel. She helped Pete with the music in the radio production of his long-awaited "Lifehouse". Although I have not heard the final version, I have read the book - it is very much Pete.
I am loathe to call myself a "fan" of Pete Townshend - it is a word that does not properly define my admiration for him. Rather it simplifies it, which is not how I feel - he deserves much more than "fandom" from my point of view. I may have been a "fan" during my teenage years while listening the The Who, but it has evolved in many ways in the years since.

I was very curious about Rachel because of my views of Pete and his work. I knew that she had to be a force to be reckoned with if she was to consider herself Pete's equal. Rachel has more than fit the bill by coming across as the loving, confident, fun and humourous person that she is. As well, she has brought with her all those human qualities that Pete holds so dear.

I am neither sycophant nor fan, nor am I a "psycho-fan"!
I am simply an individual who has heard the boy's music most of my life and through that music, to my surprise, I discovered a soul similar to mine. As a result I discovered Rachel, and in her, the girl who makes music!


And now for something completely different...
I have just discovered the greatest invention since Velcro!

Stretch Denim!

Yesterday I bought two pairs of jeans - apparently, the first pairs in years. Now I know how my daughter and her friends can sport about in jeans that look like they have been painted on. I often wondered how they ever got them on, let alone sit down in them...
My new jeans are so comfortable that I don't want to take them off. This is coming from someone who can't wait to put their pyjamas on after getting home from work!

Where have I been? This is big news!

Is there anything else out there that I should be aware of?...
