Got the fairy tale princess blues...

Sometimes I feel compelled to break out into spontaneous song. Today is one of those days!

The premise of my first CD SHELLY RYAN: Seriously Weird! is a retro blast to the past that leaves audiences laughing happily ever after. It begins as all fairy tales do...ONCE UPON A TIME...and reveals how a young girl growing up in the 1960's was influenced by the popular role model of the naive fairy tale princess.

So today is my Snow White day. Okay, so the "dwarfs" are my son and a multitude of his friends, all of whom are far from vertically challenged. They're cool...and have enough respect not to greet me as "Hi, HO!"

IT'S THE FRICKIN' CRITTERS...How did Snow White put up with that little bird that flitted about. My issue is not with bird poop in my hair, but the woodpecker that WILL not leave my front porch. This MUST be an omen...no wait...that was the Raven...never MIND!

But wait: THERE'S MORE: the bird's trusty sidekick Mr. Chipmunk who seems to have burrowed a HUGE tunnel underneath my front porch. SHOO SHOO GO AWAY ALVIN!

I'm rewriting this happy flora and fauna story and probably should replace the often-depicted deer with something more indigent to the South: the possum!
