Martha’s Song was developed to honor a special lady, Martha Parker, who willingly donated hundred of  hours of time to help the citizens of Robertson County, Tennessee.  She voluntarily assisted other women who also received the diagnosis of cancer.  The purpose of Martha’s Song is to continue Martha’s legacy of offering hope and compassion to cancer patients in Robertson County.  Martha’s Song provides assistance to cancer patients in purchasing items such as breast prostheses, lymph-edema sleeves, wigs, medications, and medical equipment which may be needed as a result of the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, and may not be covered by insurance.

Martha’s Song is funded through donations and fund-raising activities supported by volunteers.  Monies are allocated to the NorthCrest Foundation and earmarked for Martha’s Song funds.

Brenda Zitzman Weds; Becomes Brenda Lewis

County singer/acoustic guitarist Brenda Zitzman is off the market! Zitzman wed her longtime boyfriend in an intimate backyard ceremony on September 20^th in Nashville, TN, officially becoming Brenda Lewis in the process.

The songstress, donning a classic alencon lace gown with blush underlay by Nashville designer Olia Zavozina, married John Meredith Lewis of Springfield, TN in a small ceremony surrounded by family and close friends. She paired her dress with custom jewelry from Jessie Greene-Hill of Put-in-Bay, OH and donned her trusty pair of brown cowboy boots that she’s worn onstage countless times, giving her a casual, yet glamorously country look. She carried her grandmother’s rosary in her bouquet.  Lewis paired his light gray suit with a custom bow tie and pocket square from Nashville designer Otis James.  He carried his grandfather’s fifty-cent piece in his pocket.

Ceremony musical selections performed by Nashville string trio Athena Strings included “Rainbow Connection”, “Blackbird”, “Harvest Moon” and the Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros single, “Home”.

Guests dined on grilled flank steak, creamed spinach and bruschetta paired with craft beer from the couple’s favorite brewery, the Sparta, Tennessee-based Calfkiller Brewery. Chicken and heart-shaped waffles nourished late-night guests who were still dancing into the wee hours.

The couple honeymooned in Oregon and will reside in Nashville, TN.

Zitzman and Lewis — shown here — are all smiles during their first dance.

Have you seen my missing Taylor??

My beloved Taylor acoustic guitar was stolen from me Wednesday 11/21/12 as I was loading my car at my West Nashville condo complex. I was making multiple trips back and forth and left it unattended. Police reports have been filed, insurance claims made, listings posted on stolenguitarregistry.com, and I’m in talks with the good folks at Taylor Guitars. I don’t know if they can help me, but I’m hopeful. I’m currently accepting all forms of prayers, good energy, and positive vibes. This guitar has been my #1 go-to guitar for the past ten years. If you’ve seen me at a show over the past ten years, then you’ve seen me with my Taylor. Ten years, hundreds of venues, over 1000 shows. Hope to be reunited soon.
