Buffi Blog – February 2012

I wrote a new blog It’s a lyrical analysis of one of the best and most misunderstood songs – Springsteen’s Born in the USA. Hey, if Reagan didn’t get it…I guess none of us are smart enough 😉 This month and the next – I’m spending some lovely long days doing In-Company Business English courses […]
Buffi Blog – January 2012

Happy New Year! (And yes, it’s not midnight on January first, but it’s never too late to wish people a happy new year. Ever. If you disagree with me, then your year must really be off to a crappy start.) So. I am the worst updater of all time. I wear that badge with pride. […]
Buffi Blog – December

DECEMBER HIGHLIGHTS: I spent a good chunk of this month working on the new Kyteman album. It’s phenomenal. Colin looked at me at one point and said ‘this song is a Rubic’s cube.’ It was. They all were. I loved working with people who lose sleep over one word, as do I. This is with […]
Buffi Blog – November / December
NOVEMBER-DECEMBER: I spent a huge amount of time filming my new project, to be launched later this year, the Rock Your English@ Home! course – 15 lessons you can download, featuring some of Holland’s hottest artists.

Buffi Blog – September 2011
September is the season of updating websites. It’s been a while. (A looong while.) I guess Im so busy doing, that I’m not updating. I will try to keep this more fresh and fabulous, but I can’t promise anything. The truth is, I’m much more of a doer than an updater….but hey, I’d rather date […]
Buffi Blog – August 2011
Spent a lot of it eating and discovering that gin and tonic go very well with limes instead of lemons. Then I hit the ground running, gearing up for new academic years at the Rock Academie Tilburg, the Desgin Academy Eindhoven, and Albeda College in Rotterdam. Lots of new material to prepare..my poor students are […]
Buffi Blog – July 2011
I was lucky enough to get to coach one of the most talented singers/songwriter/guitarists of the Netherlands, Bertolf. I kept having to remind myself that he was human. His new album is breathtaking, as are his lyrical and guitar skills. We hated each other so much. I finished my writing for Wouter Hamel – this […]
Buffi Blog – June 2011
I did my first Master Class series at the University of Pop Culture in Berlin. It was the first time I did my shizzle in a country where I didn’t speak the language fluently. For me, this was a huge step and I’m very happy to say that it went really well. We worked on […]
Buffi Blog – may 2011
MAY came and went at lightning speed. I know I worked my butt off (I am still so surprised when I look in the mirror and it’s still there…! I taught a lot, I coached a lot, I worked with my new amazing manager on long and short-term plans; I said yes to some things […]
Buffi Blog – April 2011
APRIL has brought showers. Showers of AWESOMENESS!!! I went to Berlin for orientation on the possiblities of Rocking the English in Germany. No one does that there, at least not in the way that I do, and I’m very happy to say that from June, I’ll be the Visiting Lecturer at the Berlin University of […]
