Learning about Ms. Franz has been inspiring. In fact, I had to stop, right in the middle, and tweet one of her quotes: “Just because no one buys your work doesn’t mean it isn’t fabulous. It just means your grandkids will be the ones who get rich off it.” Being a musician, I can relate and Ms. Franz is so correct in her perspective. Let yourself be inspired by what she says and what she has experienced, letting the art flow out from inside of you!
Oh, and that isn’t all! Ms. Franz has a lovely sense of humor and while I may stop in awe of her inspiring words, I then expel a giggle at her way with words, and sit back, with my cup of tea, and enjoy the art that is an outflowing of Ms Franz and her expressions of creativity.

The Best Music Software and Apps With A Difference
Composing music is something many of us are interested in, but it’s unfortunately not easy for all of us unless we have a band or an orchestra to bring our creations to life, or unless we can play an instrument and our composition only requires one instrument to play. This is then why composing software is so useful as a way to create our own tracks and to hear what they sound like. And in fact the very best software will even allow us to hear what our compositions sound like and export the tracks as MP3s ready to use in games, on websites or as demos. Here are some of the best pieces of software for making your own music.

Cannonball Adderley is one of Jazz’s most celebrated performers. The alto saxophone player was a sensation when performing in the Miles Davies Band, and was known for some blistering playing. However, it was one of those strange quirks of fate that launched Adderley’s career.
Originally, Julian Edwin Adderley worked as a teacher in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He taught at Dillard High School, and it was there that Adderley first picked up a nickname, although not exactly the one he’d adopt in his music career. Because of his ability to eat lots of food, and eat it quickly, other school staff members named him “Cannibal.” This changed as the speed of his alto sax playing came to light, and “Cannonball” seemed more apt.

Wow, this talented lady is quite the “go getter!” Ms. Mongeon is not only a sculptor, but a lecturer/speaker, and a passionate marketer (to name a few)!
In this interview, she describes her daily process in detail and also describes the environment that she has created which is conducive to all of her skills (right down to taking her tea to her studio). So, read and get to know Ms. Mongeon, but also, be inspired (and maybe get some tips) to reach beyond the limits in your own creativity.
