Original songs from the soul, with just a touch of sensuality, and 'that which moves the blood'. More gentle love songs coming this way. I have a natural countr
I'm from a performing family line, and my maternal grandparents were vaudevillian singers/dancers/actors. My aunt and great aunt were well-established stage actors in. I was one of those children who choreographed little song and dance concerts, and performed them along with my sisters, for my (then-surviving vaudevilllian) grandfather and parents. I sang on the 'channel niners' show as a teenager in a guest performance with a singing group my mother managed, called 'the joybelles', but at that stage I had a lot of living and discovery to enjoy and didn't really take it further. Also as a teenager my dancing was more prominant. I started dancing at about 4years of age, and still love it, form classical and jazz ballet, to latin dance (salsa, merengue, tango etc) to bellydance and my own style of moving. After attaining a Cert. in Performing Arts, and Stage Management, I moved on to theatre and singing in various bands. I wrote my first song and recorded that and subsequent songs mid 2000. I performed some of them at the Woodford Folk Festival (a well-known event each year just north of Brisbane, Australia), and my cd '...and in the beginning' was launched. I play djembe, some harp, zills, req and am learning to play keyboard, and more of my lap harp. I'm performing now with a small orchestra (vocals) and about to join a rock band on the coast. I am looking at doing a couple of albums of my own songs, along with a couple of songs 'BM' has written for me. Some of these songs are up now on this site, with lots more that I've written/am writing, and waiting to be produced. One of my goals for the future is to to enjoy this amazing country of ours and (why not) overseas, if the opportunity arises. I will be starting my Bachelor of Creative Arts (Multimedia) degree early next year. Meanwhile I'm learning heaps, and loving it. I'm experimenting with styles and letting go of censorship to see where this all goes.

Story behind the song
I had to write a few more songs to fit into the country genre for my album. This song, like many I write was there in my head, I simply had to put it on paper. I guess I was tuning in to those that feel an imbalance in their relationship, and believe it was time to move to a better reality.
Lyrics
Dust on my windscreen © BarBaRa 22/5/2009 You’ll just be dust on my windscreen when I leave you You don’t give me the time of day that’s for sure You’re out there playin’ games with your special friends I’m not your favourite distraction anymore When I leave, all I’ll see is my back windscreen No tears, no regrets, no goodbyes The time is past due for us to part Now I’ll live my life away from your lies Chorus Just dust on my windscreen is all that I’ll see There’s no message there except ‘please wash me’ You’ll be gone in a wipe from a carwash machine And I’ll be free of the dust that’s been sticking to me Bridge You say that I’m the best thing in your life But you leave me at home every night You go out and play with your other best friends I’ve smelled the perfume darlin’, you’ve been cheatin again Don’t get me wrong, you can be so loving I don’t deny that you care most of the time The presents that you buy me are expensive and kind But you can’t buy me cause I’ve got love on my mind So when I leave you you’ll just be dust on my windscreen No tears, no regrets, no goodbyes That way when you come home from your parties I’ll be gone - no letters - no lies
