Well, I'm just a bit excited... I got a definite thumbs-up yesterday - I'm getting my first song cut!!

My song "My Sisters" is being cut by Mollie and Jackie Singer, 19-year old twin girls from Las Vegas. Besides being gorgeous guitar-playin' singers, they are also 4.0-carrying college students studying Music at UNLA, and busy advocates for diabetes research, having already raised over half a million dollars! Their TV credits include MSNBC, CNN, CBS Early Show, ABC News, Sunday Morning with Charles Osgood, and Good Morning America. Print interviews and features include USA Today, the New York Times, L.A. Times, Chicago Tribune, Washington Post, Boston Globe, New York Times Up Front Magazine, Girls' Life, The Las Vegas Review Journal, Time Kids, and most recently in Teen Vogue and Justine magazines in a MUDD Jeans national advertising campaign. They have performed at the National Finals Rodeo, Thomas and Mack Stadium, Las Vegas Motor Speedway, and the White House.

I never imagined that I'd even record this song - much less that it would be my first cut! I literally wrote this song while behind the wheel of a UHaul driving to Nashville, with tears streaming down my face as I realized I was leaving my family behind. When I played it for my producer following a long-winded disclaimer about its silliness, he immediately replied that we were cutting the song. I was truly shocked - but what a good call!

So thanks to MY sisters Karen, Shari, Sharen, and Kasi for the inspiration... and thanks MAMA for providing the subject matter! haha...

Here are the lyrics if you'd like to read them!

You might’ve seen them - they look just like me
They’ve got the same eyes and dimples in their cheeks
So much in common - but we still disagree
Talkin’ ‘bout my sisters

Distance is nothing when you’re joined at the heart
Although it’s hard sometimes for us to be apart
Pick up the telephone - it doesn’t seem so far
Talkin’ to my sisters

CHORUS
And I say hey, hey - I do miss them
I sure love them more than life itself
I say hey, hey - I didn’t pick them
But I’d sure take them over anyone else
Talkin’ ‘bout my sisters

So many memories, so many good times
Singing Shania with a spoon for a mic
I laid the rules out for “Any Man of Mine”
With the help of my sisters

CHORUS
