“I promise not to run him off…” Great line! I know you haven’t written much about your romantic relationships, but I find it hard to picture you putting “the run” on anyone. You’re just so…likeable

Awesome video!
I love that Texas twang of yours.
Strangest thing: I played the video early this morning (4/25), and the backgound of the video melded perfetctly with the view outside my front window.
Can’t wait for the CD.

Hey, I’ve got a chainsaw (and I know how to use it!)…which reminds me…I should do some trimming around the place…
Have a fantastic weekend!

Frank’s got a chainsaw – would you like to borrow him? (actually he used to fix them – sharpen their little blades, and so on) Great singin’ Jannie!

K: Thank you. I do believe I will continue in the “Rock On!” or at least the “Alternative Folk” On! vein for a long long time.
Liara: Thank you very much for the link to the melody contest. Yo-Yo Ma is a very genersou musical person.
Sheila: Thanks! I hope I edited it In and Out alright because I have no sounds on this laptop and haven’t listened to it on another computer yet.
Lynn: Thank you. To me the song is total funsterment indeed.
Vered: YOU are awesome too.
Aimee: They say never let the truth get in the way of a good song idea!
Paige: Yep, I was grateful when that line hit out of the blue. Hee, hee.
Thomma Lyn: Ah – thanks! I loved what J.D. Meier wrote the other day on his post about musicians making people feel alive. That’s a pretty cool thought. Here is a link to that post.

Snag: Computers can be a real pain in the assets, that’s for sure! Luckily the video will keep.
G: Thanks, glad y’all liked it. I haven’t actually heard the video in a while. Was I twanging?
Lance: A man with a chainsaw — always a hot commodity! I saw the picture of your place, looks wonderfully kept up.
Robin: Wow, another man with a chainsaw available – never rains but it pours. Is there anything you and Frank can or have not done or do?!?

Mama Zen: Ah yes, therein lies the crux, I do believe. I jist can’t seem ta hold onto a man.
Mia: Well, plenty big heap of thanks fer that compleement, young filly. Y’all come back now, ya hear??

Generosity is a state of mind. To choose to share yourself with others through music is a meaningful gesture. The power of intention shines though in energy.

Hi Jannie,
ha.. that’s so cute. It’s a little quirky, cute, and adorable song. Undeniably, you got a nice voice for it. Hope you enjoyed your camping trip, and get enough rest afterwards.

I, too, want to gush and compliment, but alas, my office computer denies me access to the video stream; as if it were too naughty or inappropriate for any government employee to view–makes it more enticing, of course. I think I can access it on my Apple at home, but I get distracted and pooped after I arrive at the domicle. I was going to beg Jannie to send the link to me on email, then I could view it here. As a working man, sans chainsaw, I spend 10-12 hours a day at or near my office. But my time with the singing Jannie, twang and all is coming…I can feel it. Meantime I am envious of the Funsters who have already seen it, and will continue to read the great omments.

I gotta chainsaw -
I gotta ax -
You want some firewood -
I’m the guy to ax -
I c’n chop the stuff,
and split the stuff -
I c’n stack it in yer woodpile,
For your fireplace in the winter
I c’n chip it into mulch,
to warm your flower bed -
You want that forest leveled -
I got that chainsaw touch.

Stacey: My man lost his binoculars in the war. And they were very special ones, festooned with blue chiffon and ice cream cones. Such a mini-tragedy.
Liara; Love will shine on through anything!!! Even a dingy old cod fishing boot unearthed from the muddy depths of the sea.
Miladysa: The poor man in this song, eh? He has a pretty tall order to fill indeed. I feel as tho I am still working on my singing voice, so you’ve made my day!
Jewel: Thank YOU! I am so blessed to have hooked up with Kalyani and Ryan. It’s magic.
Ching Ya. THANK YOU!! Your kind comments mean so very much more to me than you’ll ever know. You guys coming here to my blog and giving such positive energy, brings happy tears to my eyes.
Glenn; Luckily, the video will be out there until the sun turns black. btw, you been watchng that series “Life After Humans,” on the History Channel? It’s got me wtching t.v again after 5 months without. Fascinating show, a tad depressing yes, But interesting as all get out. Makes me wonder what’s the half-life of a chainsaw?
Lane: Oooo, my Jim better watch out! Sounds like you are just my kind a man!

You have all the inspiration you ever need. As you become conscious aout who you are, you get energized. I sense you would enjoy exploring Youtube for glimpses of Britains Got Talent. People often underestimate their innate talent. Self-worth is not supposed to be conditioned by external approval, yet it often is. You may have already heard of Susan Boyle. Check out what self confidence does for Hollie, Shaheen and Diversity.

Hey Jannie
This is Tammy. (poet’s pen) I am blogging again. My new space is called “The Windows of the Soul.” Just thought I would invite you back into my zany world. And, I have decided to tone it down a notch for the general public’s sake. I have made a few friends (like you) that I know will not judge me, but there are always those passersby that concerns me.
I have missed you. I see you are still the blogging maniac. Dang girl your space just keeps getting bigger. People love you.
I listened to your tune there. I don’t think I have ever met anyone who could make outdoor tools sound sexy.
That could be a psychological disorder.

Liara: Like J.C. Penny – “It’s All Inside” indeed! Remember that slogan?? Hubby a couple weeks ago insisted I sit and listen to Susan Boyle with him. I knew it had to be something great, despite the preamble. Cried within 3 seconds of hearing the simple beauty that poured from her. At that time the clip had 14,000,000 views — now it’s got 47,000,000. Listening again and having anohter great cry.
TAMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AS I LIVE AND BREATHE, WOMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM SOOOOOOOO GLAD TO HEAR FROM YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (And yes, deep gardening tool psychological issues here. )
Sorry, listening to Susan Boyle again here, hard to concentrate.
LENA!!!!!!!!!!! Another wonderful blast from the past. wow, is htis my totaly lucky day, or what???
Ah, happy Jannie here.

I never felt so welcomed back in my life. So for that I will have to go away again for a while. Anyway, I was over here wondering who Susan Boyle was and I Google searched her. Dang! Sister can sing! It was so funny because I caught a clip of her on “Britain’s got talent” and people were mocking this woman. It almost made me cry until she opened her mouth and bam! She humiliated those people with her voice.
That clip was so moving. One of the judges practically repented for being so cynical minded toward her. I am all for the underdog and she had her day.
So, you are dreaming a dream like sister huh?
You go girl! When you hit the big time I can say, hey, I knew Jannie before she became famous.

love the video…and I was here while away but I am discovering tonight that none of the comments I made from my laptop while away are recorded on anyone’s posts – sorry I will attempt to do better in the future.
May is on the Horizon – how are your nerves holding up?
Will you post your concert site?
I am excited

Count Me In
I got a chainsaw too, sort of–
it’s a small one, kind of like
a toy, with a pretty orange cord
running to its black rubber handle;
but even though I have to plug it in,
remember I go green, and it still gets
the job done without creating oil smoke
the air to choke, and me, and you.
Sometimes I git so busy
trying not to cut the cord
I forgit what the hell
I’m trimming, but I am a gamer
and a keeper and I need to get in line,
to help Jannie feel so fine,
for we all know she needs a man
with a chainsaw…
oh yeah, yeah, the word is out,
and there is no doubt
I am her man…
sorry, Jim.

Tammy: Looked for your blog. Did not find it. I’m sure you’ll leave me the link sometime. Glad to hear you’re posting again. So far I’m not sure if it’s Susan Boyle’s voice and / or The Song. It’s an awfully nice song, too.
Patricia: No nerves (right now.) I’ve been doing a lot of preparation. And it all depends on good energy anyway. It’ll be great! Bummer about your comments not posting. What’s up with that?
Glenn:
I have a solar – powered chainsaw now! I flew in my private jet 900 miles on Earth Day to pick it up and then I gave a speech about the importance of fuel conservation. What can I say – I’m a big big sinner.
J.D. But you are TOO KIND, young man. Please don’t wait with held breath for the next video, it might not be as scintillating as this one. Afterall, it IS my CD’s title track. Oh, got my CDs all done and ready to advertize! Peace, brother.
Christine; Well, your compliment will do me a good six weeks!!! Thanks. xo I’ll try to keep up the funning.

Jannie,
You are such a hit and I like the pony tails on the other person. Did I miss the introduction to those two?
Or didn’t you do one?
Also you make that lotion sound so good. I can smell it through my computer. You rock!
On 16 May 2009 at 8:08 am Jannie said,
Christina: Those men are rare indeed but most likely you’ll run into one at Home Depot, the Shampoo aisle at Walgreens or on a wilderness camping trip.
Tess: Yes, there was an introduction of Kalyani and Ryan but on another part of the video, not posted here. Deep in the C drive of my laptop.
