It’s almost time for a Mardi Gras Party in Fairfield. It’ll be loads of fun because I’ll be singing with The Magnolia Jazz Band again. Wish you could be invited, but as usual, it’s a private event. Maybe a public booking will pop up in February? Maybe it’ll show up for Valentines Day….I truly hope you have much love in your life, for yourself, and from others. While the “self-love thing” is always a work in progress, I have been blessed with a 37 year relationship with my loving partner Shelly. If you haven’t found romantic love yet, chin up! I didn’t suddenly grow amazing relationship skills. I just met the right person.

ByCynthiaIt’s the season for something new. So when I got an email intro to Dan Damon from our mutual webmaster, I absolutely had to go hear him. Dan performs both jazz & spiritual music just like I do, and plays an extremely pleasant jazz piano at Hotel Mac in Pt. Richmond. It was a lovely evening and so nice to meet…
Holiday Hubbub
ByCynthiaLast night was nearly sleepless, with lists of things to do running through my head, along with startling realizations of things I’d forgotten about entirely (like writing this note to you around the beginning of the month).

New Beginnings
ByCynthiaThe first day of Spring is coming, and so is my birthday.
