Happy Holidays! I decided to cover Minnie and Santa by Cyndi Lauper and Jan Pulsford because I myself am not a religious person, however, I do still like SOME elements of the holidays, and to me, this song was a cute way to do a Christmas song, that wasn't overly religious. May 2022 be a really wonderful year for us all!

I wrote this song about overcoming obstacles set by patriarchal cisgender heterosexual gatekeepers.

Some of my back catalog of works that I have personally written were pretty dark. I'm trying to change that :-) I hope this is a bit more cheery for everyone!

Pride

In 1986 when the True Colors Album by Cyndi Lauper was released I was 2 years old and my mother had just discovered Cyndi Lauper as well, and Cyndi's music was a permanent fixture of my childhood and adult life ever since. In celebration and honor of Cyndi Lauper's carrier, and for the 35th Anniversary of Cyndi's True Colors album, I would love to contribute this cover song. I decided to record Calm Inside The Storm by Cyndi Lauper because to me this was always one of her best most energetic songs, and I enjoy it. A long time ago I recorded an A Capella version of this song, and I had someone request that I send that to them, I couldn't find it - so I just went ahead and recorded the whole song :-) Enjoy!

As some may know, another pen name I go by is "Cyndi Lauper Addict", this is a pen name I use as a Cyndi Lauper Remix DJ basically. "Dance Of The Bird" is the drum production/arrangement that I created for a remix for Girls Just Want To Have Fun by Cyndi Lauper. Here is the original link on YouTube for the remix Girls Just Want To Have Fun (Cyndi Lauper Addict's Islands Remix):  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=feFw4HvCzao

This track is about celebrating my dirty 30th birthday. Made a beat, wrote some lyrics, and shot a music video to celebrate my goofy self.
