New Articles!

I've added 6 more articles to the Article page!

Sheet Music Archive Update!

I know, I know - what's going on with the site? I'm still transcribing and I'm still a huge fan of Sarah's and I promise to bring you more in the future! I've recently moved and have no internet access at home, but I plan to bring you lots more Sarah chords and music in the coming months! Thanks for being patient!

On a related note, the chords for 'Before Your Time' have been posted in the Chords and Sheet Music Archive! Thank you so much to Ariana for transcribing and sending me the chords!

There are also a few news articles that have been posted - one from 2005 and one about the Bleak House show!

Songwriter's Hall of Fame Gala

Sarah recently performed at the Songwriter's Hall of Fame Gala on March 6, 2006. She performed 'Powder Your Face With Sunshine' by Carmern Lombardo, backed by a big band, and decked out in 40's garb.

Sheet Music Archive Update!

There are tabs up for 'Wake Up,' transcribed by Rob! Also, the title track from Charlotte Martin's latest disc, Darkest Hour, is up. I'm even trying to accomodate the non-Finale sheet music lovers by putting up PDF files of sheet music. I'll try to get them all finished soon!

Black Widow

from www.blackwidowfilm.com:

Fade in on a man�s severed head just as it is about to be engulfed in flames of an old-fashioned coal furnace. The head suddenly opens his eyes and begins to sing a mournful 1940�s era blues song:

What is love? But a prelude to sorrow,
With a heartbreak ahead for your goal.
Here I go - Now you know why I'm leaving.
Got the blues. What can I lose? Goodbye!

The severed head then proceeds to tell the tale of how he came to be in this unfortunate situation. Naturally, his story begins with a beautiful dark-haired woman, a classic femme fatale. The poor man�s fate is sealed the moment their eyes meet, and he soon becomes ensnared in the beguiling predator�s web of deceit.

BLACK WIDOW stars several of Canada�s most fascinating recording artists, including Sarah Slean, Martin Tielli, and Mary Margaret O�Hara, as well as acclaimed stage and screen actors Tom McCamus, Julian Richings and Gary Reineke.

Shot in black and white in a visually expressionistic style, BLACK WIDOW is a playfully macabre homage to film noir cinema of the 1940�s.

Produced by Enigmatico Films and Holland Park Productions, in association with CBC Television. Written by Patricia Fogliato & David Mortin. Directed by David Mortin. Distributed by Rhombus International.
