The past year has brought some very interesting and exciting musical experiences! I've been doing lots of new material, and my songlist is well over 500 songs now. In the spring of 2007, I performed a few concerts in Frankfurt, Germany, with some great musicians. Over the summer months, while spending time with family in the U.S., I rubbed shoulders with some of the best musicians in bluegrass and country music. And then in the fall, I found myself in northern England and Scotland performing in hotels and restauraunts.
With newfound confidence and a broader repertoire, I returned to Frankfurt and hit upon an ambitious plan. I wanted to explore music -- lots of music! So I set up a series of concerts and got to work. In just over three months time, I performed ten concerts and worked with fourteen different special guests, singing a wide variety of styles. We did music from the fifties and sixties, rock, country, blues, jazz, pop, bluegrass, classical, broadway, and more. The songs included covers of Sinatra, Elvis, Dean Martin, Nat King Cole, The Everly Brothers, The Platters, Buddy Holly, and Simon and Garfunkel, to name a few. We've had several configurations of musicians and bands, and we've covered lots of music.
It's been a great adventure so far! Thanks for joining me along the way. The repertoire is continually growing. I keep working with new songs, styles, and musicians. Every musical engagement is different. And we keep making new friends along the way. Come see for yourself!
