It's here again.  Time to start my fall/winter vegetable garden.  I love California sunshine!  We can grow pretty much everything almost all year round, with the exception of maybe two months out of the year, and even then, if we choose hardy winter veggies, they'll still grow, despite the chilly temperatures that can drop down...

Well, here is the latest update on my band's progress and latest photos from our band photo op. Musicians are plentiful in my area, but we do have a slight edge.  We have a Taoist in the group (moi) who will forge ahead and take the bulls by the horns, scream at the top of... Continue Reading →

Let me first apologize to everyone for my long extended disappearance from TaoBabe, as it was  supposed to have been a very short pause while I gather my strength and run, but it didn't turn out that way.  Several major things occurred in my life which I could not control. 1.  As most of you...

I was asked by a very good friend to post this song because it was a favorite.  It almost didn't make the cut and would have never been recorded if it wasn't for his insistence, because I was having trouble with the lyrics, and agonized over it for days. This was during the time frame... Continue Reading →

Okay. I have to admit. This post has nothing to do with Taoism. I just wanted to show off my photo with Keiko Matsui, taken only hours ago. She was live, at Yoshi's in San Francisco this weekend, and I went to see her. The woman is awesome! She will be in town for one... Continue Reading →
