Live Your Music News 11/30/16

Hello Everyone,

It was great fun having my brother, Duane Brovan, as my guest for Live Your Music!

Do you want to know how to take better pictures? Do you feel confused about what camera would be best for you? Have you been wondering if it's time to get a camera instead of always using your smart phone to take pictures?

During the show we talked about answers to these questions. Duane has had a passion for digital photography since the year 2000 and he loves to help people get the equipment that is right for them. Duane is also the creator of a really cool new Photographer's Pocket Guide that we talked about during the show.

To hear the replay of the show, with Duane Brovan as my guest, please click here.

Click on the photo to hear a replay of the show with Duane Brovan.

Duane has had an interest in photography for most of his life and when digital cameras began to be used in the late 1990s he became fully committed. As different companies started producing digital cameras he kept up with all the developments and had a knack for finding the "leading edge" products in the industry. Since then he's worked for DeNador Design & Photography shooting hotels for marketing purposes as well as working for brokers in residential real estate.

In addition to being a commercial photographer specializing in architectural photos he began a company as a sports photographer shooting local teams. He also owned a portrait studio and photo training center in Shingletown, CA.

Duane is also the owner of a photography business called Great Perspective Photography in which he strives to educate photographers wishing to improve their craft through his knowledge, classes and tips for the best camera settings in his Photographer's Pocket Guide. To contact Duane, click on the link for his website where you'll find his contact information.

Duane is also working at Crown Camera in Redding, California and is currently their assistant manager. Duane's intention is to help photographers take better pictures through purchasing the proper equipment and by helping them learn how to get the most out of it.

Duane has published a convenient, easy to understand Photographer's Pocket Guide that illustrates how to use the basic camera settings which gives photographers the information on how to take control of their cameras and create their own works of art. The guide opens up to show a wonderful array of information all in one place and folds to a size you can fit in your pocket, purse, or camera bag.

To get the Photographer's Pocket Guide visit www.photopocketguides.com

I hope you'll listen to the show to find out more about why he created the Photographer's Pocket Guide and why you'll want to get at least one of the guides for yourself! They are also great to put in Christmas stockings or for Hanukkah gifts to go with gifts of cameras or smart phones. To find out how to order them, send an email to Duane: [email protected]

This was my second time doing a longer show and having callers ask questions and talk with my guest and we all enjoyed it! I am looking forward to doing more of these longer shows where I can have guests call in to ask questions during the last 20-25 minutes.

Live Your Music - Interview with Michelle Gordon 11/15/16

Hello Everyone,

My inspiring and fun friend, Michelle Gordon, was my guest for Live Your Music today.

Do you ever read "personal development" books and then never take any action? Do you feel like you should be doing more with your life and your time? Do you ever wonder when you'll change your habits and take the time to live your dreams?

Today we talked about Michelle's new top-selling book titled Where's My F*cking Unicorn? and also about the 11/29/16 release of the seventh book in her inspiring series of novels about Earth Angels which start with The Earth Angel Training Academy. The title of book seven is The Twin Flame Reality and it will be available 11/29/16 on Amazon.

To hear the recording of today's fun show, with Michelle Gordon as my guest, please click here.

Click on the photo to hear a replay of the show with Michelle Gordon.

Michelle Gordon has been writing about the spiritual realm for twenty years. It started with poetry and short stories about ghosts and life after death, and has grown to novels about Angels and Faeries, alternate dimensions and parallel universes.

Michelle is an independent author, and has readers all over the world, many of whom have experienced positive shifts as a result of reading her books. She has many more books planned for the future, including more books in the Earth Angel series and a brand new young adults trilogy.

Her new book, Where's My F*cking Unicorn?, rose to number seven on the Amazon best-seller list within two days and is a short book that I greatly enjoyed reading.

Michelle with her new "Unicorn" book.

Michelle says in her subtitle for her little book, "This book is for you if you've read all the self-help books, attended every motivational seminar, spent a fortune on courses – but you're life is still a F*cking mess."

I read the book right after she released it on Kindle a few weeks ago and I love her sense of humor in the book. My life isn't "a mess" but I love to read books that I feel can possibly help me learn something to make my own life better and/or that I can share by telling others about the book.

You'll have to listen to the show to find out more about why she wrote it and why I hope you'll get a copy and then read it!

Click on the book cover to buy the book on Amazon.

Click on the cover of the book, above, to buy the print book or Kindle version of it on Amazon.

Five years ago, Michelle published her first novel in the Earth Angel series – The Earth Angel Training Academy. The seventh book in that series, The Twin Flame Reality, will be available 11/29/16. You can pre-order the Kindle version by clicking on the title.

I've read all of the other books in her series and I am looking forward to this one. Michelle's books are interesting, full of imagination, wonderful characters and amazing and creative places. It would be great to see her books as movies or as an Earth Angels TV series someday!

Click on the book cover to buy it on Amazon.

To find out more about Michelle Gordon and all of her books, please visit her website at: michellegordon.co.uk

During the show a caller asked Michelle if one of the characters in the book was her.

To get a chance to win a signed copy of her book you'll need to answer this question: "What character in the Earth Angel series is based on Michelle?"

WIN A SIGNED BOOK - Put your name in for the drawing of the signed copy of The Earth Angel Training Academy, by sending me an email to: [email protected] and include the answer to the question in your email.

I hope you'll take some time to listen to this interview with Michelle Gordon. During the show we took questions from a couple of callers and that was fun. This was my first time doing a longer show and having callers ask questions and talk with my guest and we all enjoyed it! I am looking forward to doing more of these longer shows where I can have guests call in to ask questions.

Live Your Music – Interview with Leslie Keenan 11/09/16

Hello Everyone,

My inspiring friend, writing coach and teacher, Leslie Keenan, was my guest for Live Your Music today.

Do you have a book – or books – in you? Do you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or afraid to get started? Have you started but are unsure how to complete your book or get it published?

Leslie Keenan has been helping people access their creativity, find time to do what they most love, and complete their writing projects for over thirty years. She works as a writing coach, teacher, editor, and workshop leader.

Today we talked about how she helps writers – and other creative people – get past their inner critics and take the time to "show up" by helping to create a time plan that can work for each person's life.

To hear the recording of today's fun and inspiring show, with Leslie Keenan as my guest, please click here.

Click on the photo to hear a replay of the show with Leslie Keenan.

During the class I took with Leslie (with the same title as her new book, You Can Complete that Book) she had us draw our "inner critics" and for me, mine was one of my grandmothers. Following are some of the "inner critic" drawings you'll find in Leslie's book. My "inner critic" drawing is the one on the bottom right.

My grandmother told me not to put things in writing and she also said I "should" forget about singing. Both are what I call Heart's Desires and they've been with me my whole life.

I am so thankful for Leslie and her helping me get past my "inner critic" so I could write and publish my book The Art of Living a Life You Love!

If you have ever wanted to write a book, or have started writing one but feel stuck or afraid to complete it or get it published, call Leslie and/or read her book!

Click on the book cover to buy the book on Amazon.

Click on the cover of the book, above, or the book's title (below) to buy the print book or Kindle version of You Can Complete That Book on Amazon.

I highly recommend Leslie Keenan and her inspiring and helpful book!

To find out more about Leslie Keenan's work as a writing coach, teacher, editor, and workshop leader, please visit her website at: www.LeslieKeenan.com

While you are listening to our conversation, imagine the joy you can have by living your music.

Please take some time to relax and join me for a conversation with Leslie about how she is living her music by working with people who are inspired to write either a fiction and/or nonfiction book.

Live Your Music – Interview with Jim Kimo West 10/05/16

Hello Everyone,

Jim Kimo West was my guest for Live Your Music this week!

I greatly enjoyed talking with Jim Kimo West about his new album Slackers in Paradise which is just being released today (Wednesday, October 5th, 2016). During the show, you'll get to hear the title track from the album!

When I think of the words Aloha and Mahalo, Jim Kimo West comes to mind. He is a wonderful example of the spirit of both words. Aloha is how Hawaiians say hello and is a warm greeting you hear over and over when you are on Maui or any of the Hawaiian islands. Mahalo is how they say Thank You.

Jim is fun as you can see in the album cover art that is the "photo" for today's show. I am feeling thankful for the fun I had hosting my show with Jim Kimo West today!

To hear the on-demand episode of my interview with Jim Kimo West, please click here.

Click on the illustration above to hear a replay of Live Your Music
with Jim Kimo West as my guest.

Best known as long-time guitarist for the world’s most successful musical comedy artist, Weird Al Yankovic, Kimo is regarded as one of the world’s foremost ki ho’alu or Hawaiian slack key guitar artists. This warm and engaging acoustic guitar style has it’s roots in 1840’s Hawaii.

Kimo is a 2008 winner of the Hawaii Music Awards and two time Na Hoku Hanohano (the Hawaiian ‘Grammy’) nominee. He is also a two-time winner of the LA Treasures Award for his efforts in keeping this important acoustic guitar tradition alive. He is a veteran of Hawaii’s famed slack key festivals as well as the So Cal Slack Key Festival.

Kimo has also worked as a composer for film and TV for many years and maintains a sophisticated private studio in Los Angeles. His slack key compositions have been used in a number of features, TV spots, cable, web and in many documentaries.

Slackers in Paradise is available with the following four links:

During the show today, we talked about why we love Hawaiian music and how it can help relax you while you are driving. It can also bring you back to how it feels to be on Maui or your favorite Hawaiian island. One of the things I love to do is to incorporate things that I love from my vacations into my regular life. Doing this helps bring back not only the happy memories, it also helps you enjoy your time anywhere you live.

I feel thankful to have met Jim Kimo West while we were on Maui in 2012. I am so thankful a friend took us to hear him perform in Napili. We talked about the Napili show today. Listening to CDs by Jim Kimo West brings me back to the feelings of joy from our family celebration time on Maui.

I'd love for you to listen to what Jim Kimo West had to say on the show today. I am also looking forward to hearing from you after you listen to the song from his new album. As you can see above, there are 16 songs on the new CD and I am excited to get it, listen to it and hear Hawaii at home and in my car!

Hello Everyone,

Anna Grace Taylor was my guest for Live Your Music today!

Known as The Angels’ Voice, Anna Grace Taylor is an Angel Therapist®, certified by Doreen Virtue, Theta Healing Practitioner®, singer-songwriter, motivational speaker and author who has been featured on BBC Radio, in the Wall Street Journal and with USA Today best-selling books.

Using her natural intuitive gifts, developed by years of training and experience, Anna connects with Divine love and guidance to support people with all aspects of life and acts as a catalyst for transformation for people all over the world.

Born eleven weeks premature and with Cerebral Palsy, Anna took her first independent steps at the age of six and had to learn to walk two more times following a major surgery and a long-term illness, both in her teens.

Sound and song therapy played an integral part in Anna’s recovery, and her innate love of singing inspired her to dream of recording her own CD. Her debut album Already Here was released after months of co-writing via email, and was made possible thanks to the generosity of hundreds of friends and supporters. Anna, whose voice has been likened to Canadian singer Sarah McLachlan, has since performed for international audiences, and recently began working on new music to be released later this year.

Currently living in England, she is a loving and compassionate woman with a remarkable ability to empathise and shares her inspirational posts, including her Daily Messages of Grace, with millions of people on social media. You can find out more about her work at www.annagracetaylor.com

During the show today, Anna and I talked about Angels, and how to ask for help from the Angels. We also talked about inspiration, songwriting, singing, living your music, and how you can feel happier and more peaceful.

Anna talked about a new song she has written and recorded which will be released toward the end of October. It is exciting she has a new song coming soon!

I played a beautiful song by Anna titled Body which is from her debut album Already Here. The song is one of my favorites. For links to purchase her album through her website, iTunes, and/or CD Baby, click here.

As Anna mentioned during the show, she does weekly Angel readings that are available through her Facebook page: Anna Grace Taylor.

As Asia mentioned during the show, communicating with animals requires us to be willing to be present, to pay attention, and to listen. All of these are also important in our communication in all aspects of life.

Asia also mentioned to talk clearly to your animals so they hear and comprehend what you want them to do. I found myself thinking about how we talk to our self and others. I realized that what she was saying applies to people as well.

Talking with Asia was fun and inspiring. I'd like to have her back on my show to have her tell more stories about her work and how she helps both people and animals.

If you're curious to hear about Asia's work as an animal communicator, please take 30 minutes to listen to the replay of today's show!

Live Your Music - Interview with Jim Kimo West 08/10/16

Hello Everyone,

Jim Kimo West was my guest for Live Your Music today!

Best known as long-time guitarist for the world’s most successful musical comedy artist, Weird Al Yankovic, Jim Kimo West is regarded as one of the world’s foremost ki ho’alu or Hawaiian slack key guitar artists.

To hear the recording of my interview with Jim Kimo West and hear his song Maui Skies, please click here.

Click on the photo above to hear a replay of Live Your Music
with Jim Kimo West as my guest.

Having never even seen Waikiki, Jim Kimo West went right to Hana, Maui in 1985 and spent much of his time there for many years. It was in Hana where he first heard the music of Gabby Pahinui, Sons Of Hawaii, Sonny Chillingworth and Atta Isaacs. Already familiar with alternate tunings, the sound of ki ho’alu (slack key) became his favorite soundtrack.

Jim Kimo West is a 2008 winner of the Hawaii Music Awards and two-time Na Hoku Hanohano (the Hawaiian ‘Grammy’) nominee. He is also a two-time winner of the LA Treasures Award for his efforts in keeping this important acoustic guitar tradition alive. He is a veteran of Hawaii’s famed slack key festivals as well as the So Cal Slack Key Festival.

Jim's numerous CD’s feature many original compositions as well as inventive arrangements of the genre’s classic repertoire. His latest release, Guitar Stories goes beyond slack key, exploring other genres like West African guitar, Middle Eastern Music and Americana.

Jim has also worked as a composer for film and TV for many years and maintains a sophisticated private studio in Los Angeles. His slack key compositions have been used in a number of features, TV spots, cable, web and in many documentaries.

Jim Kimo West's album Guitar Stories

Today Jim and I talked about his musical journey and what it's like to perform with Weird Al Yankovic on tour as well as performing on Maui and slack key guitar shows. Jim will also perform with Weird Al Yankovic at the annual Festival Supreme hosted by Tenacious D also featuring Flight of the Conchords. It's scheduled for October 29th at Los Angeles’ Shrine Expo Hall & Grounds at USC.

As we discussed during the show, Maui is a place where you feel love everywhere you go. We also talked about the words Aloha and Mahalo which you hear all the time when you when you are there. Gratitude is what Mahalo expresses. Being in touch with your gratitude reminds you to enjoy the beauty that surrounds you and the people you have in your life.

Following are some beautiful pictures Jim took on Maui. Listening to Jim's songs reminds me of being on Maui. I love to hear the music of Hawaii. If you do, or would like to, I highly recommend you listen to this interview and get one or more of Jim's albums!

Princeville Sunset

Napili

Hamoa Beach

The new album Slackers in Paradise will be out October 5, 2016

As Jim mentioned during the last part of the show, he is still on tour with Weird Al Yankovic and also has shows scheduled on Maui for the release of his new album Slackers in Paradise in October and November this year.

with Paul Luftenegger as my guest.

I was inspired to have Paul back on my show to talk about his album Love Expanding Love. I've been listening to a song from it while I exercise and it makes me feel uplifted, inspired, and happy. The song is titled This Time and it has become one of my favorite songs!

Today I played a beautiful song titled This Time from Paul's album Love Expanding Love

Today Paul and I talked about the importance of being your self which is what the song is about – being who you really are inside. It took me until my 30s to even begin to know my self and as Paul said today, we all keep learning more about who we really are and what we're here to do as we live each year of our life.

Paul Luftenegger with Dr. Christiane Northrup.

I enjoyed hearing about Paul meeting Dr. Christiane Northrup and spending time with her in person and as a guest for her Hay House Radio show.

Dr. Northrup is inspiring and I feel lucky to have heard her speak at a couple of the the Hay House conferences. As Paul says, Dr. Northrup is truly an inspiration.

We also talked about Louise Hay having her 90th Birthday celebration in San Diego and Paul says he is super excited to announce that he's gotten his flights and will be there!

I would love to be there for Louise's 90th Birthday celebration on October 8, 2016. I love Louise Hay and it would be great fun to see Paul there and talk with him in person!

I BELIEVE IN YOU is a conscious song written and recorded by Paul Luftenegger to help the children, help the planet, and help the endangered species. The song begins with a reflective moment and is followed by soft piano and vocals.

Paul's Album Titles Include the Following:
The Miracle of You
Love Expanding Love
Diamond Light
Worthy
Beautiful World / Blessings From Above

Visit www.cdbaby.com and search for Paul Luftenegger. You'll be able to purchase the album Love Expanding Love which has the song This Time on it and you'll also find more of Paul's albums and individual songs there as well. Love Explanding Love is also available to hear on Spotify.

Live Your Music - Interview with Robert Berry 07/13/16

Hello Everyone,

Robert Berry was my guest today for a special show of Live Your Music.

For a long time I've had people asking to know more about me and while it felt funny being the "guest" of my own show – with Robert Berry being the "host" asking me questions and making comments on what I had to say – it was fun!!!

To hear the podcast recording of this week's show, with me being "interviewed" by Robert Berry, please click here.

Click on the photo above to hear a replay of Live Your Music
with Robert Berry "interviewing" me.

For this special edition of Live Your Music, Robert Berry and I talked about how our beliefs really do create our reality.

The show takes you on a journey from the Summer of 1966 – 50 Years Ago – to Now, the Summer of 2016.

During the show you'll get to hear a beautiful new song by us, The DeNadors, titled BELIEVE. I wrote the lyrics, my husband Dudley DeNador wrote the music, and Robert Berry recorded the song and added his musical magic to it for us at his recording studio – Soundtek Studios in Campbell, California where our new song was "born" on 06/30/16.

Dudley watching as Robert Berry adds the keyboard tracks to our song BELIEVE.

During the show we talked about an event that happened 50 years ago and about the belief I lived with for a long time. We talked about how it was transformed from a limiting belief into the belief that I could do it.

I gradually began to believe my dream to sing could come true – thanks to the inspiration, beliefs, and encouragement I've gotten from my husband, Dudley, our son, Zander, and our talented friend Robert Berry.

Robert Berry adding the bass guitar track to our song BELIEVE.

Being at the recording studio with Robert and Dudley was so much fun!!! I was bouncing around all day. I felt so happy and had great time singing my vocal track for the song!!!

Robert Berry and me during the recording session for our song BELIEVE.

Robert Berry adding the drum tracks for BELIEVE.

The vocal booth at Soundtek Studios – where Robert recorded the vocals of Dudley and me for our song BELIEVE.

Dreams can come true!!! Sometimes they take a long time to manifest but they can and will when it is meant to be.

Being at the recording studio all day on the last day of June 2016 was more fun than I could have ever imagined it would be in my wildest dreams. We love the song and I am excited for you to hear it during this special edition of my show.

Whatever YOU dream of doing – let your Self do it. Just "showing up" for what you love gives you JOY.

By doing what YOU feel called to do you'll feel happier, you'll have more fun, and you can inspire the people who know you to go for their own dreams and Heart's Desires.

BELIEVE is available to download at CD Baby!!!
Visit www.cdbaby.com and search for The DeNadors to download BELIEVE as an mp3.

Live Your Music News 07/06/16

Hello Everyone,

I am taking some time off from my show this week. I had decided to take all of July off but got inspired for a special show I am planning for next week on 07/13/16. During the show you'll get to hear our new song that was just "born" last week on 06/30/16. The title of the song is BELIEVE. We are excited about how amazing it sounds thanks to the musical magic and love our super talented friend Robert Berry put into the creation of it.

This week, in honor of Dr. Wayne Dyer, and all he has inspired me to do, I've decided to re-share links for shows I've done with Wayne Dyer's daughters Skye Dyer and Serena Dyer Pisoni, and Hay House authors Alex Woodard, Dave Carroll, and Michael J. Chase. Each of them is an example of living your music and they are each making the world a better place in their own ways.

Click on the book cover above to buy "I Can See Clearly Now" on Amazon.

One of the things Wayne Dyer did that I greatly appreciated is that he would introduce us to new and inspiring authors, musicians, and singers.

Today, in my eNewsletter, you'll find links for interviews I've done with some inspiring authors including Serena Dyer Pisoni and also links for interviews I've done with Wayne Dyer's daughter Skye who's a talented singer songwriter.

I've included links to the albums and books in this newsletter so you can get them at Amazon by clicking on the covers of each of the CDs and books.

Skye Dyer has been on Live Your Music three times and each time I played one of her beautiful songs from her Letting Go album. To listen to my Live Your Music interviews with Skye Dyer, click on the links that follow.

To hear Skye Dyer's first interview and her song Letting Go, click here.
To hear Skye Dyer's second interview and her song Mirror, click here.
To hear Skye Dyer's third interview and her song My Time, click here.

Serena Dyer Pisoni has been on Live Your Music two times. The first time was before her wedding and her book and the second time was right after her wedding and her book's release. During the second interview I played a song called This Gift which is based on a letter Serena wrote to her Dad. The song was written by Alex Woodard and is sung by Skye Dyer. This Gift is the song that Serena and her Dad danced to at her wedding on Maui.

To hear my first interview with Serena Dyer, click here.
To hear my second interview with Serena Dyer Pisoni, click here.

Alex Woodard was on my show to talk about his For The Sender books which were derived from letters sent to Alex and inspired him to write a series of books and songs. Alex is both a musician and a Hay House author. You'll enjoy our conversation and his song For the Sender which I played during my interview with him.

To hear my Live Your Music interview with Alex Woodard and also hear his song For the Sender, click here.

Dave Carroll was on my show to talk about his book United Breaks Guitars: The Power of One Voice in the Age of Social Media and I played his song United Breaks Guitars which has had millions of views on YouTube.

Dave spoke of how his life has changed since the United Breaks Guitars video went viral on social media and how he learned that one voice can be heard all over the world. Watch the video of the song on YouTube and yours could be the 15,282,828th viewing!!!

To hear my Live Your Music interview with Dave Carroll, click here.

Michael J. Chase was on my show to talk about his inspiring and fun book The Radical Practice of Loving Everyone: A four-legged approach to enlightenment. Focusing on the gregarious antics of his beloved dog Mollie, Michael writes and speaks with humor about how to live a life of kindness and love.

In 2007, Michael started The Kindness Center with the vision of creating a more peaceful and kindhearted world. Rather than build a physical “center,” he decided to spread his message across the globe by creating “random acts of kindness” events.

I hope you'll take the time to listen to one or more of these inspiring Live Your Music interviews and forward this message to your family and friends so they can listen.

Aloha Love & Big Hugs,
Margaux

Live Your Music – Interview with Paul Miller 06/22/16

Hello Everyone,

My guest for Live Your Music this week was Paul Miller.

To hear the podcast recording of this week's show, with Paul Miller as my guest, please click here.

Click on the photo above to hear a replay of Live Your Music
with Paul Miller.

Paul Miller is celebrating 50 years as a Student of the guitar and his 30th year as a Songwriter.

Paul's two great passions in life are Music and Fly Fishing.

His soon to be released CD — titled Mystic River — is a combination of vocals and instrumentals that use the voice of nature as the soundscape of life, as though it were a journey down a mystical river. The expected release for his new CD is Fall of 2016.

Paul Miller in the recording studio for his new album titled Mystic River and River Song which I played during today's show.

Stylistically Paul's music is written when the mood strikes, in his words, “A perfect example of Americana."

Paul says he has worked with the same musicians over the last 20 years. They include Deborah Winters on Vocals, Robert Powell on Guitar and Pedal Steel, and Ian Dogole on Percussion. The ‘Rivers’ project also includes two special guests, Paul McCandless on woodwinds and Dan Zemelman on Grand Piano.

Paul Miller's album Midnight Street

Paul was born in 1951 and was heavily influenced by early Rock 'N' Roll along with Rhythm and Blues.

As a Songwriter he writes about Love, Social Issues, Politics or anything else that his passion directs.

As an example, one of his favorite compositions is titled "American Dream " and it tackles the housing crisis and the collapse of the economy, which created a painful situation for many hard-working people in our country.

Paul believes that Music must be authentic and reflect the times that we live in. He has a need to express healing for the hard times that we go through with his music which is indeed an expression of his soul.

You can find Paul on Facebook with this link: www.facebook.com/PaulMillersMusic

Today Paul and I talked about how he is living his music with the new album Mystic River which is scheduled to be released in Fall 2016.

During the show I played a beautiful song by Paul titled River Song. I love the song and am looking forward to his Mystic River album coming out later this year.

I enjoyed talking with Paul on my show today!! We talked about music, songwriting, and living your life as a journey on a river. I loved what he had to say and I'd love for you to hear what he said during today's show.
