New Menopausal Mommy blog up www.menopausalmommy.blog. I'm working on the sequel to the first book in which I chastise myself for writing about a great love story and then, post-writing, get divorced. It's about the menopausal single mommy trying to date and deciding fuck it, I like Netflix better.
In my happy place recording. Single to be announced soon. Hint: Woody.
I played The Ryman in Nashville last night as part of a celebration of Judy Collins' 85th birthday. She discovered me 20 years ago and changed my life. It was a dream to play that stage and an honor to do it with Judy.
I was so blessed to work with Sid on that project and to tour with him for a summer. I miss him.
My receptionist at my Drs office. Happy Corporate Holiday to Make Singles Feel Bad. Celebrate yourself today in a red tutu!
Are we all collectively throwing up our hands? It's all clearly unconstitutional. I'm tired of my congressional reps coming on socials repeating what we already know. I keep responding "do something about it" because ranting into the hurricane is just making us hoarse.
Went to The Nashville Symphony last night and had my mind blown. Read about it. open.substack.com/pub/amyspeac...
My son Huck just realized what word his name rhymes with. I told him it's an adult word and that Mommy and Daddy don't say it. With my fingers crossed behind my fucking back.
Huck 2028
If you need me
I'm the one at
The airport
With my guitar on
My back, new
Lipstick on my
Mouth, dancing
To Chappell Roan,
My child's face
In everyone
I see
Right????
As this country is so full of division, I am loving this little thing I'm doing. So far, on this flight, I've got 4 new smiles and a guy that's coming to my show tonight. Start small. Get out of your comfort zone.
I used to be a grumpy morning person. Some called me aloof but I was just in fear. I've gotten in the habit of talking to people in line at Southwest and asking them about themselves. 99% of the time they tell me a cool story. There's a song in there.
Headed to Texas this weekend. Doing my folk solo thing. Gonna bring the new record, play some new songs, wear red boots from Allen's and eat some migas.
This is what's up next for me and I'm so honored to be playing this show with the woman who gave me a career. Judy Collins changed my life.
Maybe the conversation about racism and trans and homo phobia can come a bit later...
I asked Huck if he knew who MLK was. He said "He taught everyone to be kind to each other and then he was shot." And then he said "a long time ago black people couldnt drink from the water fountains. Now we are all equal." I hugged him and thought well...
New post. What's on my mothering mind.

They are my neighbors. You have to hear Emma's Dylan record. Can't remember the name of it but a play on Blonde on Blonde. It's genius. Also: hi. This is me on Bluesky bc I needed another social media account.
In the snowstorm today I wrote a poem and a song, learned a Dylan song and made a bean and kale soup. Then I stepped in my dog's shit. Story of my life.
Thank you!
New songs coming out of my new girl. A Martin custom 00014F. All mahogany. Bout yesterday. Wrote a song by 9pm.
Christmas Covid quarantine novel. Soooo good.
