Many, many thanks to all of you who came to the show at the Velour on Wednesday night! It is such a cool venue and I feel lucky to have such fun fans!

Oh, and thanks for smiling through the equipment and acoustic funks we had too – You are all awesome.

In my preparation for the show, I couldn’t help but think about the Olympic games that recently concluded. Performance psychology is generally the same no matter what the realm, so I actually learn a TON by watching the Olympics! The most helpful lesson I learned is that no matter where they were from or what their ranking, I got tense when the athletes seemed racked with fear, and I felt awful when they fell or failed. It hit me that in some out-of-body way, people experience emotions vicariously through others sometimes and when I watched athletes soar through their routines with confidence, peace, focus and excitement, I felt a sense of accomplishment right along with them!

So why couldn’t it be the same for a singer on stage? Perhaps people aren’t scrutinizing us as much as we may assume

While I’m not an olympian, I feel like one when people who support me are just as happy as I am when I land on my feet and finish with a smile
Thanks, guys! I hope I see you at my next show!

With love,

L.A.

P.S. Here are some photos that were taken that night:

Back in November, I decided to join in the cause of the Leukemia/Lymphoma Society. It is a health agency dedicated to brightening the lives of those fighting cancer as well as aiding research for the cure. My brother Danny (aka my biggest fan) is in remission after several grueling months of treatment, so I feel a strong sense of connection with what they do there.

The advocates at Utah’s Chapter of the L/L S, asked me to sing the National Anthem in front of thousands of people at the Utah Grizzlies Hockey game on January 23^rd, in the Salt Lake City E-Center. I was honored by the invitation!

When I got in position on the side of the rink and waited for my cue, I looked out at everything, laughed at the cameraman’s jokes, and tried not to think about slipping.

Then the loud music stopped, the spinning lights cut out, and the heat of a huge spotlight spilled over me…I opened my mouth and somehow it all clicked! I am grateful I was able to just enjoy myself out there.

I am even more grateful, however, that I got to meet the compassionate (and hilarious!) people of the Leukemia/Lymphoma Society that night!

All of it reminded me that there is still so much good in the world around us…

Thank you for being so genuinely supportive!

Happy New Year from San Francisco!

Wow . . . my very first blog entry!

To keep myself from getting carried away with all that I want to share with you, I figure this initial post is the perfect time for me to answer the big question: how do you pronounce Aline?

There are several ways to pronounce “Aline” of course, and by the looks of it, it seems only logical that it would be pronounced “A-line” (as in the letter “a”- and a straight “line”) . . .

. . . but, contrary to how it looks, for me it is said as “Al-een” (like the male name Al, and the word “lean”) Al-een.

Hopefully that was more clarifying than confusing – just a thought for anyone wondering out there.

I am SO glad to have another way to keep in touch with all of you. Comment and let me know your thoughts, ideas or questions.  I am hoping to make this blog as interactive as possible, so I will try to answer any questions you send my way!

Again, Happy New Year.  I hope you had a delightful holiday season, and stay close as the journey is only going to get more and more exciting…

With love,

Lin-zee Al-een
