I enjoyed this so much. I have been purchasing Esperanza on Itunes ever since you introduced her to me on this blog. I can vouch for the saltwater, I actually have a pic on my Fotki of my hair after an ocean romp and it was awesome.

I am from Macon, GA and people always ask me the same question. Where is your countrified accent?! I’ve realized that I have learned to turn it on and off …(this is probably due to traveling and spending my first 5 years in Jersey City) but I think that all of our accents are beautiful and I miss when my southern drawl :)

I really enjoyed your interview. You did great! I also enjoyed Esperanza. She seems to have a wonderful spirit. And that is refreshing! The seawater thing is very interesting. I’ll see what happens next time I go to a beach. Can’t wait to hear your future interviews!

As usual, I enjoyed your blog!
Blessings…..

I recorded it on my Olympus digital recorder, I have an ear bud thing I got at RadioShack, and this was done over my Vonage phone… so there could be several explanations for hiss. Will work on the quality of my audio, OMG I have a KILLER interview with Sparrow that is almost completely inaudible because of hiss. And that’s a crying shame. Will work on that one. Hopefully Janelle Monae will be a better quality audio clip, I used a different phone.

Any advice on reducing hiss? I used Microsoft Movie Maker. Still learning the ropes.

I don’t know Esperanza is but I want to know more about her. This is how interviews should be. I love to see/hear a connection between the interviewer and interviewee. She was so open and honest and that’s what makes the difference between a fleeting artist/entertainer and a musician with staying power. No gimmicks just realness (is that even a word? but you feel me). I wanted to hear more. Loved the visual element to accompany the interview, which was a little hissy (didn’t notice your cat though). Can’t wait for your next one :o ) Also loved that she looked up the blog as she was speaking to you. Again realness, isn’t that something we all would’ve done? Love beautiful brown people keep it coming Bella!
