Having fun these past couple weeks.  Here are a bunch of updates!

1.  CD:  Progressing very nicely.  I was working in the studio these past couple weeks – and I’ve got the best vocal tracks down (within my own capabilities!) that I can create now.  Next step – adding some fiddle, lead guitar and a surprise guest musician!  ;)  More on that later!  I think I have a title and concept for the album too…but am going to keep that under my hat for now.

2.  Breast Cancer ball tournament:  I got the opportunity to perform “My Breast Friends” at a Breast Cancer charity ball tourney in Airdrie on the weekend (Called Batting Against Breast Cancer).  It was a very moving experience;  I’d never sung the song for a group of survivors, and they REALLY seemed to appreciate it and understand it – laughing, dancing, and cheering as I sang the lyrics.   What a thing!  Thanks so much to Laura Reynolds and the organizers for inviting me.

3.  Nashville:  I am heading to Nashville on Friday.  NOT to produce an album, just to go meet people….in particular I am going to see Terri Clark and bowl with her.  I am hoping if we hit it off, she might pick up a song of mine, or ask me to write with her.  I think we’re on the same wavelength in many ways, as many people have told me!  I also plan to see all kinds of live music, and maybe do some open mic jams.   What the heck!

4.  Labour Day:  We’re performing at Olympic Plaza for Labour Day Celebrations!  Yahoo!   Come on down for free BBQ and enjoy the music!

5.  Other band shows:  I’m still on the hunt for good live music venues that are a fit for us….if you know of any new ones/good ones with 1) good food, 2) awesome owners/service 3) stage and 4) preferably room to dance, please let us know!

6.  Private Events:  This weekend we had a special show at the Legion in Drumheller that was a real hoot.   Thank you to the Pliva family for having us out to perform!  We will never forget Randy singing “I Don’t Look Good Naked Anymore.”
