I've never liked to make phone calls but I've caught the "booking bug" this week and have been working the phones to get booked for the rest of the year. Its a real thrill to fill in a show date. It also feels good to feel like I have something professional to offer as an artist. I can meet people at their needs with an up-beat show of country classics, or a tear-jerker solo guitar act or even a cowboy campfire concert
I'd like to send out a special "Howdy" to all my new friends from the Moab Western Stars Gathering. It felt like I had come home when I met all of you. Western music is so much more than I had ever thought. The picture above is of me and the venerable Mr Cary Hobbs. It was really a life-changing experience for me as an artist.
A special "thanks" to Rich and Lynnie for putting together such a fun concert in Heber this last weekend. My girls danced untill they were exhausted. They told me they want to start singing together, so I have started them on some easy old-timey gospel songs. I can hear them singing together upstairs right now.
I gave birth to two new songs this week. One is a folksy estrogen-rich song called "Higher Ground" and the other is a make-a-cowboy-cry duet called "Homeward Bound."
Here is my quote for the week...
"Forget the Plan...Embrace the Adventure"
Mary! It's so fun to see your new blog! We can't wait to hear you sing too, sometime!
