Good morning and Happy St. Patrick's Day.
Quick update to let it be known that I have not fallen off this planet (sort of true)!
I haven't played music since January 14th in Hancock!
Looks like I've been concentrating on other things. Perhaps I will write new material when spring time creeps in on me. Until then, I have no shows scheduled and it is not positive that I will return to the music world. It also is not positive that I won't.
I appreciate your support more than you know and hope you all have been keeping warm through this winter and indulging in the spring time sunshine we've been having!

Mostly Midwest: Eve's Attic, Mary Mugford, Small Houses
I had the pleasure of sharing a musical night and stage with Eve's Attic (Houghton, MI) and Small Houses (Pinckney, MI) last Friday night in Hancock, MI!
The show was located at the Orpheum Theater, a hide-away room in back of a pizza joint. I've never had an opportunity to play at such a unique and lovely venue. Used previously as a cinema, the feel of the room definitely had me painted in smiles. Walking towards the stage, I felt like I was walking into another era. There were reused, wooden tables of every cut and style arranged for seating. The table tops were covered in satin table runners and in the back of the room was a balcony for those who wanted to look down upon the stage.
I loved every minute of the experience. Although it was incredibly humbling playing with such talented musicians, I definitely had a new form of confidence that I hadn't felt before or at previous gigs. I felt like my 40's and 50's inspired music finally found a home in such a retro venue and I found myself playing the ukulele with some shake to my hips! I can only hope to be lucky enough to play there again.

It's been a while since I've updated! Winter is finally here, as of Saturday. I cannot believe we made it until December without any snow! It feels like the Holiday Season now, and I'm excited.
There's a show scheduled in Houghton, MI for January!! I will update you on the details soon.
In the mean time, I will leave you with lyrics to my newest ukulele song "When We Turn". enjoy and stay tuned!
When We Turn
Songs no longer needed
shift out of tune.
the sun hides and leaves me the moon.
I'll return, too, real soon:
I'll come back to marry you.
We all turn different shades of blue but
when we turn,
turn to me and
I can turn to you.
My home, my home is full
of things:
Do I own them
or do they own me?
When I lay my head down at night,
I want clear dreams.
'I want, i want, i want':
I just want what I need.
We all turn different shades of blue but
When we turn, turn to me and
I can turn to you.

I will be accompanied by a musical guest who will make my songs sound much better. It will be neat and I believe your ears will like it. Your hearts might, too, if I'm really lucky.
