"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

I'm on YouTube!

I'm very happy to announce that my first-ever YouTube video is live.  I wrote the song, "In the Shade of Table Mountain", early in 2011, after I had spent some time interviewing land claimants of District Six, many of whom were in their senior years.

Here's the link:

On the video, produced by Lisba Vosloo, I perform with long-time friend and duo partner, guitarist Keith Tabisher. Part of the footage was filmed at Baran's Kurdish Restaurant, part at Milestone Studios (where owner Murray Anderson recorded the audio track) and part in present-day District Six. Archive footage of the area was also used.

Big smile! I'm busy working on getting the next one up.

The pic of us below was taken by photographer Shireen Louw, at a wedding in Sept 2013.
