RIP Whitney Houston

Thank you, Whitney Houston, for all of the inspiration you have provided me as a singer and a performer. I remember singing along to ALL of your music when I was a little girl, and wanted to sing just like you. I was even inspired to write songs like yours too. Thank you for lasting as long as you did in the meat grinder we call the entertainment industry. This one’s for you. Thank you. Here’s Whitney’s “ONE MOMENT IN TIME.”

OK, so I’m procrastinating with the taxes… Let’s take a break and have some lentil soup.

Love Hank Williams

I love this song by Hank Williams. Google had a version of his with their Valentine’s Day logo switch up, and I remembered Norah Jones’ version as well, and thought… “This is the dark side of Valentine’s Day.” Sorry to post this post celebration, but I think maybe it’s more relevant now than the day of. Hmmm… My heart’s “Been there, done that.” Got to keep paying it forward, especially love. So… moving right along. Hope you enjoy this vid. Subscribe to my YouTube Channel… More to come!

Happy Valentine’s Day

Here’s a cute little diddy that I wrote for Valentine’s Day. It’s a song called, “Sweet Little Beautiful You.” Enjoy!

Here’s a silly song to help me get motivated to do my taxes. Although, it is the Superbowl… Hmmmm….

The Message of Monk

I sit here at the gym, not my regular gym, but a nice one, watching the 49′s game. I don’t really like football, but I’m humoring a friend and checking it out. I’m sitting in the lounge area. Believe it or not, there’s a bar that serves alcohol with four giant televisions, lounge chairs, and a ton of folks who are “OOooing and Awwwwing” at the game. But it’s not a pub, its a fitness club.

Yes, this is where I’m trying to catch up with myself after being out of town on vacation in Napa over the weekend. (Feel blessed and mushy right now.) Worked out for two hours, and hopefully I will see some results, tomorrow. I never seem to see any changes in my body right after I work out (unfortunately). Just soreness and fatigue. But I know, I can’t get anyone to workout for me. I know I can’t hire someone to lose the extra pounds. BOOOO…. I don’t have those kind of funds anyways. So, just going to chip away at it, one day at a time. And hope for the best.

Here’s a song that reminds me about taking care of myself. It’s a Thelonius Monk tune, called “Monk’s Blues.” I recorded this a few years ago in San Francisco with Daryl Green on Drums, Matt Clark on Piano, and David Ewell on Bass. I love those guys. So killin! The bass is a little low in the mix at the beginning, but overall, I’m so glad I did this tune. It’s one of my all time favorites to sing, perform, and share with my peeps. Hope you enjoy it.

Hello My Beautiful Peoples,

So, yes! The website, allegrabandy.com is now live, flowin, and growing. I have been rebuilding it for the last month now, and am very excited to be adding new music, videos, and other content on a weekly, and sometimes daily basis.

To officially kick off this website launch, I am releasing this very special new song of mine, “Big Thangs” which I just recorded over the holidays with Mr. Mike Irwin Johnson on banjo. I’m very inspired to release this in the new year, and hope that you enjoy it as well.

Stay Tuned! Follow me on Twitter and Facebook, and join my email list! There’s so much more to come!

Peace, and Happy New Year!!!

Love,

Allegra
