![]() gfire's singing influences #3 - Sandy DennySubmitted by gfire on May 19, 2009 - 1:04am.I'm pretty sure that the average American has never even heard of Sandy Denny. She came to prominence in the British folk-rock music scene in the late 1960's as a member of Fairport Convention, whose members also included the great guitarist/songwriter Richard Thompson. She also released several wonderful solo albums after leaving Fairport before her tragically early death in 1978 at the age of 31. gfire's singing influences #2 - Hank WilliamsSubmitted by gfire on February 25, 2009 - 3:05am.I'm a bit of a Johnni (as in a female Cash) come lately to the world of old-time country, having grown up in hard-rock/metal territory as a middle class Baltimorean. But once I get into something great, I cling tight and ride it away, like the Cancerian I am - and boy are there some GOOD sounds to be had from the old-time deep south. 1st time for me - please vote for gfire - best female vox & best songwriter - in Aus Chron Music Poll by fri 01.30.09!!Submitted by gfire on January 20, 2009 - 12:18am.okay bloggers, this is the very first time i have ever bothered to try to get into the Austin Chronicle Music Poll. that being said, i have been working pretty tirelessly on both my singing and my songwriting, so i feel i am worth at least a nod from the local press! so if u wanna help a sistah out, please go here and put my name in for Best Female Vocals and Best Songwriter: http://www.austinchronicle.com/feedback/musicpoll/08/ and please type FEMALE VOCALS: gfire gfire's singing inspirations, part 1 :)Submitted by gfire on November 4, 2008 - 5:38pm.I was watching a DVD the other evening of an Ella Fitzgerald 1957 concert in Belgium. Ella at her finest, to be sure, accompanied by Oscar Peterson on piano and 3 other top-class musicians. And I really thought "wow, this IS singing perfection." I don't really like jazz all that much, but Ella was in a class all her own. It isn't just that she utilizes all 3 octaves of her voice and sings with amazing intonation. What really floors me is how MUSICAL she was - I love all of her little musical innuendos and how smooth and easy it all sounds, even though it is not easy at all. gfire's Xmas '07 version of "o holy night" - now up and totally FREE as a download!Submitted by gfire on December 13, 2007 - 7:16pm.greetings bloggerz! my version of "o holy night" is now complete. it is entitled: "Cantique de Noël (Outer Space Mix)" it is twisted and pretty - i sang it in the original French, and added cool space noises to it. hope you like it! here is the link: http://myspace.com/djgfire xoxo 'n' happy holidaze, gfire gfire gets in the holiday (and anti-holiday) spirit! ;)Submitted by gfire on November 11, 2007 - 10:35pm.hiya bloggers, in the midst of getting ready to go into the studio to remix "de-fragment the soul" - to make it both dub/reggae AND family-friendly - i got a few other requests. 1. to do some sort of Xmas song soooooooo - i have actually begun progress on both of these rather pleasant tasks. stay tuuuuuuuuned! xoxo gfire gfire gets her "Sinus Tone" certificate - it's official!!!!

I thought I would offer you a reprint of an article I wrote for GoGirlsMusic.com in September 2007. Enjoy. :) Yoga For the Voice When I first began my professional singing career, still in my teens, I was extremely dissatisfied with the explanations I had been given for how and why the singing voice works. I just couldn’t make my voice do the things I wanted it to. Admittedly, I had pretty high expectations. gfire's 3rd bloggie blog...Submitted by gfire on October 15, 2007 - 9:43pm.Almost forgot - I have a super-duper gig coming up at Flipnotics - Triangle on Friday, October 26, 2007, 10:00-11:30 p.m. Please come! gfire gfire's 2nd blog postSubmitted by gfire on October 15, 2007 - 8:54pm.hi everybody! just wanted to let you know that the brand new "de-fragment the soul" dub mix will be available very soon. we go into the studio this week. i shall keep you posted! gfire |
