"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

Much more than a wish


Yesterday I took my car (once again!) to the mechanic, who lives two roads away. Walking back, I detoured to the corner cafe, where I bought the newspaper and some orange juice, my favourite drink.

The main aim was to read the Career Times section, for jobs, so I opened it and started reading while I was walking. I felt that something significant lay inside the paper, especially for me. And there it was, in black and white; not a job, but a quotation, one that hit me in the solar plexus, as it dealt with something I've become increasingly aware of about myself, something I started addressing immediately after reading the quotation.

I've decided that this will be one of my arse-kicks for 2011:

"A goal without a plan is just a wish"
