Blues musician Lisa Mann

*LIVE* Interview With Blues Bassist Lisa Mann

We took a little break for September, but our live interviews are back baby!

I’m super excited to chat with musician Lisa Mann. I first saw her perform live at the Waterfront Blues Festival. She knocked my socks off and I’ve been following her ever since. She has a new album out (click here to pick yours up today – you can choose an actual CD, streaming or downloadable audio file).

Watch the recording of our interview to learn how she got her start, the story behind the “monkey” song on her new album, and what she’s been up to during the pandemic.

Wakanda Forever!

I’ve been feeling the sads this week. Since I’m usually a positive person, when I do feel depressed or anxious it really throws me for a loop. Right now it feels like things that should be easy are difficult, and the bad things that are happening will go on forever. My brain knows that this is not true but my little heat is like “brain, are you sure about this?”


I took myself off social media, took some work off my schedule, talked to people who care about me, and got out in nature. I started to feel a little better, but what helped me turn the corner yesterday was stumbling upon this video of Chawick Boseman.

If you don’t know, he was an actor who recently passed away. He was an inspiration to people across all ages and cultures. While undergoing cancer treatment he filmed 4 movies, and regularly visited sick children in the hospital. If he could stay positive through all this, I can stay positive thru the small things that have been putting a cramp in my style.

In this video is he gets to see and hear people thank him and talk about what he means to them and how his actions have positively impacted their lives. The young boy’s face right around the two minute mark… just watch it…

Who has made a positive impact on your life? Can you call your special person today and let them know?

YOU have made a positive impact on me, and I appreciate you!

*LIVE* Interview with Jerry – AKA Portland Pizza Peddler

Did y’all miss our live interview with Jerry – AKA Portland Pizza Peddler? Catch up with the recording below!

I accidentally scheduled Jerry’s interview the middle of the Blazers game. We didn’t do push ups or anything fitnessy, just cracked some beers (well he had a beer, I had a glass of wine) and talked about Chicago-style pizza, our favorite Portland food carts, and the Blazers of course.

You are welcome to listen to these interviews with the video off like you would a podcast (although you will miss seeing Jerry’s epic ‘stash!).

I’m Anne McCranie, owner of Fluid Movement + Massage LLC. I started doing these almost weekly “pandemic interviews” in April 2020 as a way to entertain myself, and to expose you, the people I love, to interesting people and ideas. We’ve learned about skincare, decluttering, automating your day, technology, running safety, insurance, mental toughness, acupuncture, intermittent fasting, R.O.S.S., the farmers market, and dance lessons. Who should we chat with next?

Interview with Rachel From Dance With Joy!

Have you met Rachel? If so, you would surely remember. She is a positive ray of sunshine, beaming with love! I followed her around her studio (which was hard, she never stops moving!). We chatted about her summer kids camps, and her online and in person dance lessons.

Watch this video to see how she continues to support her community, and is keeping everyone safe. We even do an impromptu dance lesson at the end!

We start downstairs where she shows us some of the kids camp activities, then head to the upstairs studio around the 7 minute mark, and our dance lesson start at about the 14 minute mark.

P.s. this is my first attempt at filming, and editing an on site video! While it may not be the slickest production value ever you’ve ever seen, I can now add video editing to the things I’ve learned during the pandemic! Yay!
