This was my second year participating in the "Possible Dreams Auction," the late Art Buchwald's most treasured charity. Gratefully his humor and aura continue to permeate the event. It was a rousing success raising in excess of $600,000 to support community services on Martha's Vineyard.
I've had a bit of free time in July and early August and have had a chance to do a lot of vocal work with my wonderful voice teacher Donna Roll. First, perusing the minutia of vocal technique and then spending hours and hours belting out favorite choices from the great American song book: Rogers and Hart and Hammerstein, Gershwin, Porter, Kern, Styne, Sondheim, King, Berlin, Bernstein, etc. The list seems endless and I'm glad my camp on Martha's Vineyard is remote enough to avoid the disturbance-of-the-peace calls that would certainly follow my practice times.
I've got plans to start recording again and finish the last half of the project I started with my latest release "There You Are Again". I am SO AMPED UP to get back to Nashville and into the studio. More details soon.
My schedule seems to be pretty full 'tween now and December; take a look and if I'm near by, know how much I'm looking forward to seeing your beautiful face.
