"If there's music inside of you, you've got to let it out." (From my song, Music Inside of Me)

Hi! I'm Trudy Rushin, and this is my blog, created in June 2009. I am a singer-songwriter-composer who plays guitar. Born and bred in Cape Town, South Africa, I blog about whatever captures my imagination or moves me. Sometimes I even come up with what I like to call 'the Rushin Solution'. Enjoy my random rantings. Comment, if you like,
or find me on Facebook: Trudy Rushin, Singer-Songwriter.

I also do gigs - solo, duo or trio - so if you're looking for vocal-guitar jazz music to add a sprinkle of magic to your event, send me an e-mail to guitartrudy@gmail.com.

To listen to me singing one or two of my original songs, type my name on www.soundcloud.com or www.youtube.com

Spring is sprung!



Picture: Taken a few weeks ago - the grapevine at home starting its next phase. Yay - we'll be eating grapes in February! This year I think I'll try my hand at making grape jam.

Interesting keeping track of my blog stats. I think more people read my blog on rainy days in Cape Town. Haha!

Catching my breath between school visits, marvelling at how, even on a grey day like today, I can feel so filled with optimism and expectation, beaming with hope for an end to some of the difficulties I've had to deal with for the past couple of months.

My part-time job with UWC, which ends sometime in October, takes me into schools across the Cape Peninsula, where I observe and evaluate student teachers (studying B Ed.). Once again, as an observer and someone who loves to record everything, I could write volumes on what I've encountered. The most pertinent awareness I've gained, which prods at me like a cold piece of metal, is that I don't see myself fitting happily back into the system. It's a long story, and here again, I could write volumes. Quite awkward, as I'm seriously contemplating applying for a teaching post at a school close to where I live.

Lots to consider.

"Later", as my dad would say, "very much later".

Forgot to pack my lunch today. Oh dear, that means I'll have to buy a chocolate at the cafe next to the internet cafe - eish, life is hard!
