Welcome to the new look QQandN web site
2012 - This is a year for balance, harmony and grace - aspects of life I strive to incorporate, with gratitude, in my writing, music, art and publications.
And so, behind this home page lies a joyous adventure in words, music, images and colour as I share with you the gifts I love to work with.
Read about, watch, listen and be inspired by: world class musicians; original songs and stories for children and the child within; and interview articles with people who are making a difference in this world.

QUILLS: Writing & Index of Articles
Here are human interest stories, reviews of concerts and
CDs, biographies, and interview articles with both world class performers and the neighbour next door. See Index
of Articles. These are inspiring stories of achievement, success,
tragedy, struggle, discipline, humour, love, passion, hope,
new ideas, old ideas, and life. Most of the articles have been published in newspapers and magazines as promotion for artists and orchestras, particularly for the
Vancouver Island Symphony, and Songs Strings & Steps.

QUOTES: Publishing - Catalogue
Since its first appearance on the Internet in 2002, Quills Quotes & Notes has published two 'little' books for children and the child within - "One Seed", and "The Whales' Secret".

NOTES: Music and Performance
Music is an integral part of this web site - from the musicians who have been interviewed for articles to original music and recordings I have created, and my performances for audiences of all ages. There are lyrics for original songs, samples of recordings, FREE MP3 downloads of There is Hope,
Asha (Hope),
Little Candle, and Thank You . On YouTube watch/hear "A New Song", Asha (Hope),
Little Candle, and Thank You , the educational children's read-along, sing-along "One Seed" video, and a new video of just the "One Seed Song" with lyrics.

"Courage and Hope"

A Feast of Words
While enjoying the feast of words in the many articles on this site, take in A Bite
of Sliced Bread with a story from
“Sliced Bread: Notes from a Baker’s Rebel Daughter”
- the kind of story that requires some chewing and
time for digestion. (Sorry, it’s not a cookbook – I burn
boiled eggs and potatoes, frequently.)

| "Time for a good hot cup of tea" |
A Cozy Read
So come on into the web site for a cozy, comfortable
experience – put on the kettle for a good hot cup
of tea or coffee, or sip on a glass of great red wine (the internet
can also be slow and enjoyable), and read about: bassist Gary
Karr and his love of chocolate; flute player Paul
Horn, his first trip to India and the creation
of “Inside the Taj Mahal”; read about tenor and actor Michael
Burgess; of the hilarious opera comedienne
Natalie Choquette and her family; about the harmonious Celtic Tenors from Ireland; or about the amazing life of jazz singer Dee Daniels while listening to her singing; and so much more…
Enjoy.
With cheers, smiles and gratitude
Rosemary
