a tribute to my punky grandmother who is now dead

Min farmor var punk

Do you remember any memory with your grandmother?

In this track, I am going to share the story between my grandmother and me. It might be slightly sad but I promise you it is a warm story. There will be both Chinese and English in this audio piece but don't worry, I prepare the translation inside of it. 
Hope you enjoy!

I‘ll always remember

Halima Osman lives in Minnesota. She's an educational assistant and founder of Mothers Tutoring Academy. Upon first glance, you wouldn't imagine the lives she lived before her arrival in the United States.

From being one of the only women to graduate in Somalia at the time with degrees in Mathematics & Physics to surviving civil war. Her wisdom breaks through glass and touches hearts. Halima's daughter, Sundus Hassan Nooli, shares this portrait of her mother's life. 

Support for MinneCulture on KFAI is provided by the Minnesota Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund.

Choose Again

Back in 1985, I was such a shy girl
Hung out at those dreaded lockers with one or two fly girls
They knew where to look for me at the parties
The awkward one there crunchin ice and smarties
Like a lost little bloom among the wild hollies
In the back, to the side, anywhere that I could hide
Then one night, cryin on momma's lap, she'd turn the tide (she said)

Don't be a wallflower
And sink into the silver frames
Camouflage your super power
And blend into a crowd with no name
Be a Southern bell tower
More beloved by the hour
Eye to eye, never ever cower
Don't be a wallflower
Don't be a wallflower

So I took hold of my sweet chin and I pulled it on up
Found my voice, so loud and bright, finally I was enough
I found Jesus, started shouting for glory
Stopped doubtin myself and took inventory
Told my kids and their friends that great love story
I stood tall, gave it all, poured it out like a good ol Irish lass
Thats who I was, lookin at me was lookin right straight through a glass (I'd tell 'em)

Don't be a Wallflower
And sink into the silver frames
Camouflage your super power
And blend into a crowd with no name
Be a Southern bell tower
More beloved by the hour
Eye to eye, never ever cower
Don't be a wallflower
Don't be a wallflower

Now Momma's gone and all the kids are grown
Oh the mistakes they're makin, but man, I'm still makin my own
So it's back to the wall, let 'em fall, they'll figure it out in the end
But now where do I fit in

BE a Wallflower
Silver hair inside a silver frame
Camouflage your mother power
Silence the voice that has no more claim (no more, no more)
Be a Southern noon shower
Just lay back into the hour
Later on my knees I'll never cower (but for now)
I'll be a wallflower
Full circle, a wallflower
Momma taught me better, but in the end I'm stronger and happier
Bein a wallflower

Back in 1985 I was such a shy girl

Wallflower

original by @grandmotherfunk  2011

i'm on the phone now so tell me why you call me again
the time is gone now, and i will bring my rules to this game
i'm getting stoned now, it's time to free my mind from your face
my little ego baby wants to get out, of this f***ing, crazy, boring place

this life is a stupid lego
i will never understand my ego
next day will change the colours
my ego disappears and i will follow

Wrote this song about my grandparents.  They were together for 50 years.  My grandmother passed away and my grandfather grieved deeply for a few years before going on to Heaven to be with his beautiful Roselee, for eternity.  I miss them deeply.  Thank you for listening.  Grateful always.  Wayne Tinch  Song is on Itunes and Spotify soon.  Video is on Youtube at WayneTinchMusic.

“The End Of An Era” is dedicated to my grandmother - born from the wish that she could be here to see the changes in my life.

Grew up on country and pop music. I love singing and songwriting,. I've met and talked with a few of the greats like Dolly and Johnny Cash - something I will treasure always. If I can, in my lifetime, be half as good as they, then I won't have failed. I love all genres of music; especially music and lyrics that grab the heart. I enjoy writing with other songwriters. I love it when a song takes on its own life and evolves into something greater than was intended. My goal is not to be famous, but to share my songs and sing my heart out for those who listen. Wow! The world is filled with great entertainers. I'm grateful to be even a small part of it. My hats off to all the singer/songwriters out there working hard to make their dreams come true! Enjoy every moment. Wayne Tinch

Songs and music I have written, solo or recorded by others, plus audio from additional projects 

I have written mostly celtic-Christian music for my stage production, Monarchess. Irish music melts my heart, but I also write pop, country and R&B. I am a graduate of Belmont U in Nashville (1991), so I have an appreciation of all genres from all decades of commercial music.
