Well, that's where he is now, Back Home.]]> http://redsmusic.com/news.html#15 Mon, 19 Apr 2010 00:00:00 -0700 Reds Music Lives On - Fiddlin Red Seidman - News http://redsmusic.com/news.html#14 I have put together a CD I call "All Red-All Original" with 15 of his original tunes and it is only available by writing to me and ordering it. There has not been much of a demand for his music so I print them one at a time as they are ordered. If you would like one simply email me and I will send it out to you.
I have also completed the book I called, "9 Months Ago Was Yesterday" and you can read it on my website by clicking on this link http://dianesdetox.com/book.html
I sincerely hope you are having a good holiday season and that you find peace in your lives. I hope you will help me keep his memory alive by writing in the guestbook on this web site.
Rock on Red !!!
Rock on Everyone!!!]]> http://redsmusic.com/news.html#14 Sun, 29 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800 Reds Music Lives On - Fiddlin Red Seidman - News http://redsmusic.com/news.html#13
Got an email from Dave Feder a few days ago and he is re-mastering Red's latest CD, All Red-All Original. Should have them ready by mid-November.

I am doing very well, spending my summer in Maine and traveling from Etna to teach my self-healing workshops...

I needed to create a calendar for my workshops and decided, since Red is not using his, I figured he wouldn't mind if I used it! Hope no one is offended.

Hope everyone is doing well. Rock on! Peace, Diane]]> http://redsmusic.com/news.html#13 Sun, 23 Aug 2009 00:00:00 -0700 Reds Music Lives On - Fiddlin Red Seidman - News http://redsmusic.com/news.html#12
I hope you all have a great July 19th, and if you have a drink on Sunday-Please, raise your glass for Red.

His new CD, All Red-All Original is going to it's second mastering soon. I love the way his instrumental original songs flow into the lyrical songs and then back to finish with 2 of his favorite tunes; The Fiddle Medley that won him the Floria State fiddle championship for years, and Back Home, a song he wrote while we were house-sitting on Summerland Key. When I heard him play it I said, "Honey, I have never heard you play that song before.
To which he replied, "That's because I just wrote it."
"What were you thinking about?" I asked.
"I was thinking about our home on the mountain. I think I'll call this song Back Home."

Which brings me to the status of the Georgia mountain home. I tried renting it and that fiasco ended in eviction and the interior was destroyed. I can't afford the mortgage anymore and that is that. I realize it's time to let it go, it's just stuff. I listed it for sale and will fill out the paperwork for a deed in lieu. Unless someone wants to do a short sale on it. Red's memory lives in our hearts, not that home.

I am continuing my education and workshops in energy cultivation and teaching others how to heal themselves. I was doing it part time while traveling with that smiling fiddle player and now dedicate much of my time to healing the earth, one person at a time. If you are interested in my free self-help lessons, healing tools and more you can visit my website www.DianesDetox.com . I even have a YouTube Video of my own out there. It's no where near as entertaning as Bruce and Red at the HOG but it's a 9 Minute exercise I teach in my workshops on energy.

So life is flowing in it's most beautiful manner and I allow myself to be as joyful as I can be. I am blessed because I believe Red is "still here" and the psychics tell me, "That smiling man with the fiddle wants you to understand he can help you more now than he could have when he was in this earth plane." That doesn't mean think of him often- a day doesn't go by that I don't miss his hugs and his live music, but I am so blessed to have his recorded music, and I want it to be heard. The psychics say Red tells them his music would do well in the movies. Who knows, maybe the publisher that wants to publish my book about the 9 months following his death will make a movie and use his songs! If I am going to dream big, I might as well go for it!

Peace and Smiles to All,
and
Happy Birthday Red!

You can read the fun he had with his fans, the tips on playing, the jokes and the praises and then, of course, how we all grieved together when the world lost a great musician, a great entertainer and a hell of a great guy, Fiddlin Red Seidman.]]> http://redsmusic.com/news.html#10 Fri, 02 Jan 2009 00:00:00 -0800 Reds Music Lives On - Fiddlin Red Seidman - News http://redsmusic.com/news.html#9
I spent New Years Eve listening to Sister Hazel playing at Jannus Landing in St. Pete. I must say it was one of the best New Year's Eves I remember celebrating. Everyone was there to have a good time, including my 2 sons and 2 delightful girls we met at camping music festivals earlier this year. It was a PHENOMENAL New Years, to quote a friend.

I have been listening to Red's music in my computer the past few days. He still comforts me with his words. I am very blessed.

Also being blessed with Dave Feder's help in mastering the next CD I am producing of Red's music. I'm going to call it, All Red-All Originals. I'll be in Islamorada next week with the sailboat races, I'll have to stop in and see how it is coming.

Last time I was in Dave's studio Red was laying down some tracks for Micah Gardiner, what a great day that was-I'll have to dig out those photos of Dave playing with the glove...too funny.

Also, staying busy helping an acquaintance from high school establish a bed and breakfast in Brooksville, Florida. The house has had some interesting paranormal activity, if you are in the neighborhood stop by and introduce yourself to Pierre, the owner of www.Hill-House.us .

The book about the end of Red's life, his first year on the other side and the interesting things that have happened is nearly finished, just looking for someone to help me edit it. The Universe will provide, of that I have no doubt.

My healing business is still going strong, still writing for the magazine, still renting out The Cypress House (great rates for January;),
and I will be visiting in the Keys for and then business in Panama.

Please enjoy Red's Music and be sure to write in the blog.

I wish you all Love and Peace throughout 2009. It's going to be a wonderful year.

Peacefully yours,

I have to tell you, the CD was a joy to work with, the lyrics brought many tears to my eyes as I listened to songs Red had written about me that I had never heard. He was probably saving them as a gift, he had done that in the past.

Once Dave Elliott and I got the song list down to the 9 original Red tunes and a few covers his fans always begged him to play (thank God he had recorded them:) I wanted to finish the CD off with a couple of songs that "meant something."

I decided I wanted to pick one of the songs from the "So Far" CD he did with Bruce, so I put it in the CD player and the first song was entitled "Hold On." No, that wasn't the feel I was going for, holding on too long isn't healthy for a widow or his fans. We'll always cherish the time we Red here, but holding on wasn't the message I wanted on the CD.

The next song on the "So Far" CD said it all, "I Don't Want to Cry." As I listened to the lyrics I knew that was the one I wanted. I called Bruce and he said he would love for me to put that song on Red's new CD.

Then I remembered the great song he recorded for Dave Feder a few years ago. Dave, a fellow musician in the Florida Keys and long time friend of mine, hired Red to play on a CD. When Red came to the song entitled "Vuno Mayai" he told Dave, "I don't know what to do with this song except play all over it."

"Then play all over it," Dave told him.

I remember that day as though it were yesterday. I'll have to dig out the photos and upload them to this website.

Red played the song so beautifully and so perfectly the first time through. Dave liked what Red had done so much he left all the fiddle parts in and backed out alot of the other instruments, leaving the fiddle as the lead.

Once the CD was released the song "Vuno Mayai" was the most downloaded song on the Internet for several months in the World Music Category, in the whole world ! We were so proud.

So, I left the CD in to listen to the whole CD, I have always loved it, and started to write an email to Dave, asking his permission to use the song on the CD.

As I pushed 'send,' a file came up on the left of my screen I hadn't seen in a long time. It was entitled Red Letters. They were the emails Red wrote to me the few weeks we were separated in October 2007, telling me how much he loved me and how we would work it out.

I hadn't been in the file since he passed, so I thought, well, I suppose I could read just one of them, so I opened up the letter and was reading (and sobbing) when the children's voices began singing on the CD in the player.

Now, I have listened to this CD (entitled Black Emerald) about 30 times, and I have always heard the children's voices but never understood what they were saying until the moment I sat there reading a love letter from my late husband.

Here is what the children sing (and it's on this new CD at the very end as a hidden track-I hope you like it.)

"Up above where you live,
I fly in the clouds,
A Spirit in heaven,
Oh yeah."

Now, dear friends, I know that was Red telling me he is doin' fine.

By the way, in case I haven't written this on this website yet, the last psychic told me Red wanted all the musicians here to know, "Playing music is great on the other side. It always sounds exactly the way you want it to!"

Remember, friends, life is a journey, enjoy the ride and for heaven's sake, TURN UP THE MUSIC !
