It's April, which means it's time for the A to Z Blogging Challenge, which is boasting over 2300 participants this year including my dear friends Marian Allen and my favorite steampunk warrior Jay Noel. I've pondered long and hard about joining this challenge, mostly because I'm fairly notorious for starting a challenge and then petering out halfway through due to technical issues, birthing livestock, sick children, or just your average artist-inspired ADHD (look, something shiny!). Also, I'm also doing Camp NaNoWriMo this month and really want to finish one if not both of my almost done novels. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, though, and someday I will see one of these through to the end.
After much pondering, I've decided to choose Songs I Like as my theme. I figure as I'm going to be writing I'm going to be abusing my playlists and thought I'd share some of the gems within with all of you.
Today's Song I Like is As Cool as I Am by Dar Williams. I learned about Dar at Van Buren Youth Camp, the gateway to most of my music obsessions even today. I was able to meet Dar at her concert at the historic and gorgeous Kentucky Theatre, and she was amazingly gracious as I babbled in my best angstypoetreefangirl style. 20 years (erhem) after I first heard this song I still think it's a song every woman should hear.
