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.
