Here you will find that Susan discusses her new small business and website, “song.wedding” This business’ tagline states “Your story, your song!” and the website Song.wedding promises: “We write beautiful, original, tailored to you, custom wedding songs, with lyrics and music to capture your unique story in song.”
Both Susan and Sharman discuss Matt’s career move to New York and how Just a Touch of Jazz will go forward. Also, a point of the discussion is how these changes impact Susan and her “dream seeds” blooming.” So, what is next? Find out in this podcast!
*Owing to Sharman Nattoli retiring her “Live Your Bloom” podcast and website, “Live Your Bloom” is not currently active. Consequently, Susan has uploaded the podcast audio here to replace the links.

From Matt: “Major life update: I’m moving to New York City in August to pursue new & exciting opportunities in jazz, teaching, and musical theatre! After a week of interviews and apartment hunting, I’ve accepted a job offer at “Keys To Success,” a piano school in Brooklyn, and will find a sublet in Manhattan while I continue to look for a permanent place. Those of you that know me, know that I’ve dreamed of living in NYC since I was a little kid. Now that dream is finally coming true!”
