My name is Beth. Short for Elisabeth Juliana. I was loosely named after a song called "I'm Not Lisa (my name is Julie)" by Jessi Colter. My maiden name was Singer, I once lived on Speaker Road. Music is part of me. I've been performing since I was five years old and started playing with bands when I was 15. I also started writing songs in my teens. Though I still use my pipes whenever I get the chance, songwriting has become my true passion! I love sitting in my bedroom, fingertips on black & white keys, pouring my heart into lyrics, putting my soul into a melody. I normally don't have enough patience to work at something for days, months, or years, but this little writing thing has really got me hooked! With that said, I am gearing up for what I call "Destination Nashville 2010"!! I really feel like I need to be there, to be a part of the huge songwriting machine that can swallow you whole or bring you to life. I'm excited & terrified all at the same time, but mostly happy to be able to chase after a dream.

Is rollerskating still cool? It seems like it should be, being "retro" and all, but I can't help but think of the many grandparents out there that still go square-dancing every Wednesday night (by "night" I mean 6:00pm). I don't doubt for a second that they think square-dancing is still an acceptable form of dance, just like generation-x-ers think "How cool would I look rolling around that hardwood floor, just like old-times? My friends would be sooo jealous.". Is it possible that roller skating is our square-dancing?
ARGUMENT:
A company like Coke wouldn't make a commercial about roller skating if it weren't "bad-ass".
ANSWER:
AT&T just released a campaign that features Meat Loaf (Mr. Loaf) and his son(?) singing about the new Go-Phone. Did you go out and purchase the most recent ML album and share it with your friends? Didn't think so.
I may be wrong about all of this, but if we start taking our cues from TV commercials, we'll start doing things like buying our spouses a Lexus for Christmas and eating at Jack In The Box.

I have personally wanted to go rollerskating for a long time. In fact the last time that I did was about 5 years ago for my nephews birthday! My daughter wants to have her 6th birthday at the rollerskating rink! I don't know who is more excited, me or her?! To be rollerskating is associated with innocence (although I do have some not so innocent memories from the rink) I will have to let you know how it feels to go skating again.. and yeah- I think that rollerskating for the next generation will be like square dancing for us! I forgot that ever existed! But, it sparked a memory of the 4th grade show we put on for our parents- square dancing! lol Oh, the good ole days~ They def don't teach square dancing in school anymore!
