I’ve been hit with a sudden urge to audition for America’s Got Talent.  Apparently the desire to share my inspirational originals with the world at large is filling me with some serious chutzpah.  So, it’s time to sit at the piano for hours, somehow cutting my precious jewels down to 90 second finely facetted gems that will magically bring even Bigger Bling!  It’s hard to imagine the Reader’s Digest versions of my envisioned classics measuring up.  But, I think I can. I think I can. I think…. each performance on T.V. will reach about 50 million people.  What if just a few of them hear something in my song that helps them?  This is my dream.

    People said it looked like I was having fun, and that was so true.  For me, nothing is more fun than performing, and last Saturday night was no exception. I had a funtastic time singin’ and swingin’ at Café Leila in Berkeley.  The audience was super receptive, and seemed so happy that I wondered if…

    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…
