Doesn’t it feel like we just went through a fast forward? Next thing we know, we’ll all be singing Auld Lang Syne again! Speaking of which, I hope your holidays were as festive as mine, but now what? For me, it’s time to get my students ready for the Winter Share The Music Day where the kids will play songs from their lesson books for each other and their proud parents. Meanwhile, I need to be picking out a challenging recital piece for each student to be mastered, memorized, and performed at he formal Annual Spring Recital. In my spare time (haha), I’m getting some performance videos ready to go up on my website, and also looking forward to singing a couple of my inspirational originals at a benefit on Sat. Jan. 28, 7:30 pm, Home of Truth Spiritual Center, 1300 Grand St., Alameda. Looks like 2016 is already fading in the rear view mirror……

(I never did figure out how I was going to do the “minute and a half thing” without hacking my precious original to death!) Once the song could be a little longer, it was…
Wishing You Love
ByCynthiaIt’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…
Other Side of The Door
ByCynthiaWhen I was in my twenties, a friend informed me that I was the most driven person she had ever met. Certainly knocking on doors until one opened, was a specialty of mine. It worked.
