An Original Suzi Carr Mic

Hi Everybody,  I’m so excited to be doing this.  I thought  I would 1st blog about my music obsession since there are so many of us.  Hope you enjoy.

From the time I came into this world all I ever wanted to do was to be a famous singer.  I always say “music picks you” and once it does there’s no turning back, that’s it….

I grew up in the most southern part of West by God Virginia on 8 acres of land.  We had horses in the front 4 acres and woods in the back 4.  I used to walk through the woods

 singing the Sound Of Music and pretending to be in the movie.  When I was in the 5th grade I wrapped a golf ball in tin foil and stuck it on an empty tiolet paper roll.  It was my 1st microphone,  I was always obsessed with mics.  I took it to school and the whole class wanted one.  So that night I stoled all of my mothers golf balls and tin foil and made 23 microphones.

She was livid with me but my class was ecstatic.  We sang and sang.  My father was a wonderful musician and singer.  He played sax and was a lot like Bill Clinton,  he used to say he loved “beautiful horses and fast women”.  He always taught me that when I got an idea in the middle of the night to always get up and write it down,  otherwise  I’d forget it and never get it back.  He was so right.  To this day if I’m driving and get a great idea,  I always call my vm and record the melody and words.  I also keep a recorder on my bedstand for those inspired dream sessions.  Sometimes I dream I’m listening to someones new record and it’s amazing and then I wake up and realize it’s ME! 

There’s never been a  day in my life that I haven’t listened to music.  It’s a huge part of my life.  And being on stage is one of my greatest joys.  I put it up there with being maddly in love and making mad passionate love.  I also get off on hearing my records,  especially while I’m working out.  BTW, they just released Suzi Carr’s Greatest Hits on ITunes.  It has Dreamin, Say It’s Gonna Rain, Baby I Love Your Way, and Fading Away, all the WTP hits I sing in my show, and 9 other remixes and originals.  More about how that came about later. 

Wishing you a fabulous week filled with bliss and joy.  And lots of love to Latif for making this all possible. 

Kisses,

Suzi Carr
