Summer Harmony


In the summer of 2006,
a little trio by the name of
Moonlight Garden,
made its debut 
at one of the island's 
most luxurious hotels.


Creta Maris Beach Resort, 
a five star hotel 
in the harbour town 
of Hersonissos, Crete,
was the breathtaking venue
for a much anticipated,
three month engagement.



The bright and beautiful oasis above
is the Romantica Bar Terrace, 
where Anna Lisowski, Nicholas Tsachakis and I, 
took to the stage!






The romantic ambience 
of the Cochlias Restaurant
provided the perfect setting 
for recording our repertoire of songs, 
one of which, you can listen to below.

Don't Know Why
Written by Jesse Harris
Piano: Anna Lisowski
Guitar: Nicholas Tsachakis
Vocals: Poppy


Been thinking about
 that sweet summer,
 when singing
 in front of a live audience,
made my blood flow,
and my heart skip -



as I soared 
high, 
into
notes of
 harmony,
 and
 happiness.


Thanks for visiting!

  5. Poppy, I loved it! Who knew you could sing like that? You've been holding out on us. A three month gig at that beautiful resort must have been magical. I gather you recorded the live shows. Did you make an disc or is just available on line?

  25. Dearest Poppy!!! What a feast you have gifted us with for our eyes and ears! Your voice is lovely, relaxing, dreamy, and just a bit haunting!

Have you also painted some of the paintings you share on your blog? I am honored you visit my little blog (still on a break!). You have a life that many of us can only dream about. Thank you so much for sharing bits and pieces of it with us. I'll be bookmarking your song! God Bless. Bess
