Episode 96 - Lynn Asher - I Want To Do THAT!! Music Talks
-
- Music
My guest in this episode is Lynn Asher ( www.lynnasher.com ) who was introduced to Music Talks by a recent guest Paul Webb (Ep 92).
Lynn is a native of Portland Maine but she had a childhood dream to move to California. It took some time to fulfil her dream but this year Lynn celebrates 30 years living in California and her musical career spans a similar timescale.
Despite being a ‘late bloomer’ Lynn has performed and recorded with many big names in the music business including:
· Big Brother & The Holding Company
· Jerry Harrison - Talking Heads,
· Bob Weir- Grateful Dead
· Narada Michael Walden - Producer - Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Barbra Streisand. Drummer for Mahavishnu Orchestra, Jeff Beck, Aretha Franklin, & Journey.
Lynn writes her own original material, one of which is the song choice for the 2000’s and was also the assistant to Tracy Chapman for a time. As you will hear at the start of the episode there was also a live appearance with a big musical hero of mine ……
In 2009, Lynn became a vocal coach and it has become a real passion, particularly working with young singers, one of which provides her song choice for the 2020’s (www.annaharrell.net )
Lynn’s story is a great musical journey but there is also a personal journey and adversity to be dealt with. In Lynn’s case this was dealing with Breast Cancer on three occasions, and I hope you find her insight into how she thought and dealt with that as inspirational as I did.
Lynn’s song choices are.
60’s - Hey Jude - The Beatles
70’s - You Should Be Dancing - Bee Gees
80’s - You Can Sleep While I Drive - Melissa Etheridge
90’s - Why - Annie Lennox
00’s - Now That You’re Gone - Lynn Asher
10’s - Freedom - (From ‘Django Unchained’)
20’s - Night Light - Anna Harrell
