Following an accident in 2007 in which she was hit by a tractor then out of work for five months, Emily Stewart turned to writing and singing songs.
The singer/songwriter and musician is working on an album entitled âBlessing Hearts & Taking Names.â Her previous recordings are â1â and âSay What You Mean,â both EPs; and the single âRoot to Heart.â
âI always tell people itâs folk, country, blues and roots,â Stewart said of her music.
She primarily plays the guitar and banjo but likes to mix things up by playing other instruments such as the ukelele, zhongruan, mandolin and dulcimer.
it s a favor bank. you can t tell people you re going to take names, which also sounds like, you re also going to get detention after school. we re all going to meet behind the gym after school. it s this kind of tony soprano-ish approach to the u.n. that the money we give is the kind of extortion money and we can get people to do what we want them to do. i mean, it s just a misunderstanding of the international system. it makes me sad, and obviously, makes other people sad, is that, we re the architect of that system. we put that system in place with the u.n. here after world war ii, it prevented a world war, i mean, we re not giving money because we want them to vote with us, we re giving money because it keeps the peace. a lot of moderates have been looking at nikki haley as kind of a savior, someone they can identify with. were you disappointed, speaking of taking names, in her choice of language, what she did? yeah, just seemed petty to me. again, it shooting yourself in

against north korea. i mean, so this is not the first time that he s threatened to cut off our friends. i think it s unlikely as you say that he ll be able to do that in practice because think about it. egypt is one of the biggest recipients of u.s. foreign aid with $1.43 billion in military aid alone from the u.s. every year and israel would be the first ones squawking if the u.s. tried to cut off egypt, one of only two arab countries with jordan that recognizes israel s right to exist and, you know, they were key at camp david. they would be key in leading a movement to have peace between israel and the palestinians. so it s really unlikely that he ll be able to carry through on the threat. the whole thing of taking names is not new. nikki haley first day at the
