So, I was at the Irvine Spectrum the other day, and what did my eyes amaze me with but a woman with her dog in a baby stroller whilst she restrained her child on a leash!It was definitely a “I wish I had my camera” moment.
But you know you have seen it.
The women taking their morning jogs with their baby strollers and you ask what the baby’s name is and they say, “Muffin”, and you think, “OK, celebrities are naming their kids Apple, Blanket, and even Moon Unit these days so its just the in thing to do.”
Then you go to say “Coochie, choocie, coo,” and it turns into, “My, what a hairy baby you have.”
Now, my husband is from England, where dogs walk, run, chase sticks, and do all those normal dog things.
They are not dressed up, their nails are not painted, and there are definitely no doggie couture stores in sight.
So the other day we run into a nice lady with a little Shih Tzu (same as ours), in a baby stroller. And my husband goes up to the stroller and says, “Awww what a cute dog, what’s wrong with its legs?”
Of course I am pulling on his shirt thinking, “Shhh honey.”
The lady says, “Oh, he has little legs and doesn’t like to walk.”
Of course, my husband goes on to say, “ He is a dog.”
And it goes on…
Lady: “Well, he will get dirty.”
Husband: “He is a dog.”
Lady: “He might hurt himself.”
Husband: “You might hurt yourself too, but you are not rolling around in a stroller.”
Lady: “Well I don’t want to lose him.”
Husband: “He is a dog?”
Lady: “Well another dog might hurt him.”
Husband “Dog.”

Every great jazz musician has, at one time or another, transcribed jazz solos from recordings. Since jazz is an art from that is aural in nature, it makes complete sense that listening and copying the improvisations of earlier jazz masters helps one become a more consistent and skilled jazz improviser.
Transcribing a jazz solo involves the repetitive listening and notation of a recorded jazz solo. To get maximum benefit from the process, the person studying the solo through transcription should memorize and internalize every note and every inflection played by the improviser. “Transcribing” refers to the activity of notating on paper the exact notes and rhythms played by the improviser.

Introduction to the JDSMethod of Singing
The core goal of the JDS Method of Singing is to enable the singer to sing fully throughout their entire vocal range with power and control, and without strain. My approach is to show the singer the critical elements that control the voice, and to coordinate all these systems using the concept of the Balance Point. The Balance Point represents the place where everything in your voice works in harmony. This includes the balance of the chest and head voice, the balance of air flow to vocal cord tension, the balance of the larynx within the throat, balance of resonance, etc. In this program, we will outline the five major systems that compose the human voice, give you exercises that will help you strengthen and coordinate them, and show you how you can gain mastery of them using the Balance Point.

The Vocal Chords
The vocal chords are the critical system in a healthy functioning voice. Singers who injure their voices generally have hurt their vocal chords, while singers who project with ease and power have vocal chords that are healthy, strong, and coordinated. Many singers are unaware of the simple and effective techniques that can be used to keep their vocal chords healthy:
