Episode 2: A Rose-Colored Chat

photo by Maria Jones

... with the irrepressible Emma Wallace, singer-songwriter, mom, and lover of life and happy endings.

Topics include Emma's "modern ragtime" music to date as well as what she has in store, her perspective as an indie musician on changes in the business over the last decade or so, life with toddlers, the hazards and rewards of emotional investment in stories, and why happy people are neither stupid nor boring, thank you very much!

Episode 1: And We're Off!

Stacey Tappan by Julian Cash Photography

...to a sparkling start, with guest Stacey Tappan: Opera singer, crafter, fangirl, and lover of laughter.

I hope you enjoy our inaugural discussion as much as I did, not least because we overshot the one-hour target by a good 25%. Along with the requisite topics of Stacey's current projects and her perspective on the creative life, our conversational path wound its way through classical-music-based comedy, steampunk, Shakespeare, candy-colored wigs, adventures in social media, and more.
