Make a band. Or at least a CD. I'm not fucking joking. I fucking love your music. But don't sell out.

[mdupr12]

[idrc80]

There is a haunting quality to your voice and playing that draws on me to listen to all 28 of your videos. Thank you for the best spent time in a long time.

[stephstrand]

@idrc80

Time is valuable and (thus) patience is hard to come by, so I thank you for saying this.

[viosound008]

I can't stop watching your videos!! They're addictingly good!

[Iddyboy]

I'll say it again (I said it in a comment for another video)...your chord changes, your modulations are unbelievable. ...they flow so naturally. Other people wouldn't be able to pull it off without sounding forced.

Awesome!

[stephstrand]

@Iddyboy

Things like this are gratifying to read -- thank you.

[TuneInTurnOnDropOut]

You are original. How old are you? You need to move to LA and start hitting the clubs.

[RockerDaddyFarms]

Fantastic!!

Just tell mindful, it's smoke and mirrors!!

Ha! Ha! Ha!

Did you find it easier with it strung that way? I have two south paws interested here at home.

Again Great song!!

[stephstrand]

Sometimes it is smoke and mirrors (ie odd web cam illusions :)

I definitely find it easier strung left-handed. I didn't understand it the other way, when learning! Yet, some  people have no problem, so it's all up to the individual. Maybe it depends on the seriousness of the 'left-handed condition.' haha! I can't be an authority on that...

[RockerDaddyFarms]

Thanks so much, I guess they will just have to try both??

But if the damage one/ That will be the way they learn!!

Ha! Ha! Ha!

As for condition??

I am being reminded daily that lefties are linked with genus!!!

Who knows eh?

Ha! Ha! Ha!

TTFN

RDT

[stephstrand]

Yeah, try both! It won't damage a thing to switch the strings, so, as many times as necessary ;) The only detriment to learning 'backward' is, it's often more difficult to find instruments. But ... I don't necessarily ever see this as a problem.

Haha!, right, it's either a condition or a sign of greatness! Neither idea is rooted in actual fact, really!

[RockerDaddyFarms]

"Fact, really"?

Ha! Ha! Ha!

One thing for sure you south-paws all have the same deep rooted ideas on the topic!!

Ha! Ha! Ha!

Thanks!!

Ha! Ha! Ha!

I will be sure to pass this on to my kids!!

Ha! Ha! Ha!

[mindfulmusic78]

Sweet,r u a lefty?

[stephstrand]

Absolutely! :)

[mindfulmusic78]

Neato,me too!!)

[bobwoolcock]

Very nice and quite original. I really like the chord progressions on all your songs.

[luv2sing3330]

Amazing!You DO make it look so easy. Do you write your lyrics or the melody first? Thanks for posting...you inspire me!

[stephstrand]

Oh my! Thanks so much :) I've just watched all of your videos and I must say ... you are incredibly talented!!! WOW. And so young! Please keep writing originals; there's such a maturity about your writing already.

And to answer your question, the melody (almost) always comes first! Lyrics are often difficult for me, but they manage to form one way or another :)

[jaredcicon]

Very very nice work Steph. You make it look so effortless. You have some very promising writing ability. I would also love to see you do some more covers. Ain't misbehavin' was wonderful.

[stephstrand]

Thanks so much Jared! I've been trying to find the chords/tabs to "Me Myself and I" by Billie Holiday, but haven't had any luck so far. I don't know what it is about that song, but I LOVE it!

[aprilmkelly]

another good one! great voice girl.

[chrisgilroy19]

another great song awesome stuff keep up the great work

[dunskie]

Very cool song. Always 5 stars from me Stephanie. My wife is nuts about, "You Need Somebody". She's been singing it all weekend. Thinks it's a hit for sure. As do I.

Melody melody melody melody, (life is but a dream).

[DAVIDDAMIENR]

V E R Y G O O D

This has a very nice melody. You have a Beautiful Voice.

Keep up the Great Work !!!

[stephstrand]

Only the most melodic songs ever make it to completion - I can't remember them otherwise! Thank you :)

[ShaneWednesday]

This is my favorite song of yours. Your voice just keeps getting better and better. This song seems to reflect on the rich inner life of the introvert, and how dreaming is likely the introvert's purest sense of self and comfort. Or maybe I'm waaaayyy off. hahaha.

...and I haven't really been writing. Just some fingerpicking pieces I'm working on. I'll play for you in person if you play for me. Deal? :)

[stephstrand]

Wow, that means a lot for you to say that. And you're right, in part! Definitely.

I will tentatively shake on that deal. We'll see! :)

[AllAmericanFiveRadio]

Very nice song. Neat!

[mysticcynic]

Wow. You have such a great style. Keep up the great writing.

[stephstrand]

Oh thank you!  I figure it's a little 'old fashioned' ... but maybe that's not so bad.
