The Deep, Funny, Provocative Teresa Tudury!

One of my favorite singer songwriters came and visted the SongMine for nearly a week and we ended up with some great footage. Here are some highlights:

A TOM CAT NEEDS A LADY

This song "A Tom Cat Needs A Lady" needs no intro and no outro...except to say that Teresa is playing both the tom cat AND the Lady. She says the Lady part is a stretch. A very funny one...

WHEN THE WIND BLOWS UP

Here Teresa has written a classic ballad about a doomed love affair--doomed in the sense of 19th century novels and those films that Bette Davis made in the thirties. This song is a masterpiece of the genre, with a melody as rich as a sorrowful Sicilian lullaby, and a storyline that makes you squirm--the man lost at sea and the woman lost in love that she dares not reveal. She sang it in our second set at Coffee Gallery Backstage, when we were trading songs. I think it's a beautiful performance of an exquisite song.

MISS AMERICA

She's funny, she's touching, she's political, she's theatrical. Here's a new song that shows all those sides. And check out the doggie background singer in the first take!
