Nancy Carey Johnson Singer & Songwriter

Good Morning, it's a flattered Nancy Carey Johnson, Singer/Songwriter here. While out doing errands the other day I ran into Charlie a darned good bass player I vaguely know from Jamming at Mizza's Pizza in Lakeville, Ct. Well, as Charlie and I chatted truck window to truck window he told me he was hosting a jam/open mic at the opening of the Country Store in Falls Village, Ct. and had been looking for a way to get a hold of me because he really wanted me to be there! I was both delighted and a little flattered.

... In my cap that is! Hi there, Nancy Carey Johnson, Singer/Songwriter here. Just found out today that BOTH of the songs I submitted to the Billboard Songwriting contest received an honorable mention! The first being Ballad of Renewal-this is the second time it's won an honorable mention in a songwriting competition- the other being Note From God...- I realize that I didn't "Win" the contest, but the truth of the matter is life is hard, consequently, the way you actually win is by playing, and playing I am.

'Evening, Nancy Carey Johnson, Singer/Songwriter here. I forgot to tell you that a couple of weeks ago I participated in a songwriting contest and one of the guys who was there later said to me "You remind me so much of Wynona, in fact you could easily fill her shoes!" WOW. What on earth do you say to that other than humbly mumble "Thank you!"? That woman can SING like it's nobody's business! Don't know that I could actually fill those shoes, but I sure would like to try them on for at least a little while and give it a shot! Meanwhile, have a great night! - Nancy

Hi there, Nancy Carey Johnson, Singer/Songwriter here. And that's kind of the point to this blog. Since I've started to write my own songs a few years back, I sing them a lot. But I was just looking at Desperado and thinking how much I love that song. I've been singing it since I was a kid and all these years later not only does it still have meaning for me, I NEVER tire of singing it! My only regret is that I didn't write it!!! But if I'm ever so blessed as to be able to write such a song, I'll let you know! Nancy

Hi, Nancy Carey Johnson singer/songwriter here on this very wet evening. Things have a way of changing so unexpectedly (yeah I know, no news there!) and my life is no different. In fact recently, a LOT of my time got freed up due to a 2 year project coming to an end. So why do I tell you this? Well, it's because I've got a burning passion in me to sing and to perform - so much so, that I would sing to the coyotes just to have them sing back in harmony - and scarily, that's no lie. In fact, I've ALWAYS had this desire.

Hi there, Nancy Carey Johnson, singer/songwriter here. Speaking of singing, I've sung my whole life. Some of my earliest memories are of singing and of wanting to sing and I remember WAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY back, back to when I was in diapers (but that's another story). Anyway, as I was saying before I rudely interrupted myself, that from way back I've wanted to sing and perform professionally.

... Or rather the guitar, paper and pencil... Howdy, Nancy Carey Johnson, singer/songwriter here on this stormy evening. Actually, I can't draw to save my soul, I'm so bad that people laugh themselves silly at my attempt at stick figures. On the other hand, I CAN write songs! I've had a really busy year and spent most of my time writing peace songs for the CPP or children's songs for my Mommy and Me program at the NECC in Millerton, NY.

Hi there, Nancy Carey Johnson, singer/songwriter here. I just wanted to publicly thank my dear friend Baker Bob who just 3 days ago gave me not 1 but 2 AMAZING GIFTS! The first one was Maura O'connell's CD "Stories". Maura as it happens is one of my very favorite singers, she has an unbelievable voice, but it's what she does with it that is just stunning. She sings with such depth, emotion and soul. "Stories" is an absolutely wonderful CD filled with gorgeous songs and terrific arrangements perfectly executed by tremendous players!

...And so have the bugs! Hi there, Nancy Carey Johnson singer/songwriter here, thinking about all the bugs I am and have been swatting at in the last 2 weeks. Before this there were some bugs but summer has ARRIVED in the North East or at least in my little slice of it. Mosquitos are swarming, deer fly are dive bombing, no-see-um's are being their tricky little selves and taking large chunks out of us. Which got me to thinking about the good and the bad of summer.

Good Morning, Nancy Carey Johnson singer/songwriter here. I was just thinking about the other afternoon when I took my boys to go fishing with some of my oldest friends and their children. A great time was had by all, my boys showing the littler kids and their parents how to tie flies, and then showing them different spinners, rig set ups, how to find a 'honey hole', how to cast and the best way to 'set a fish'.
