Hi Friends!
Sorry it’s been a while. September and October got pretty busy. Lots of travel!
The September Switzerland tour with Grouchy Like Riley and friends tour was fun, beautiful, and very memorable. Our friend and promoter Martin Meier and our bus driver, Martin, were wonderful. Marvin Dykhuis, Chip Dolan, and I had played concerts in Switzerland before, but those days were hectic and we didn’t get much sight seeing in. This trip was a lot more relaxed and we all got to enjoy beautiful countryside and many more cultural experiences such as chocolate making at the Cailler Chocolate Factory, a glass blowing factory, a mountain top restaurant in Weisenburg, and Charlie Chaplin’s home and museum…And a bus load of fan friends!! Oh yes, our concerts were very fun and well attended too.
After Switzerland, I travelled to Seattle to visit my son and his family, where we then took a road trip to visit another family friend in Bend, Oregon. Bend is such a beautiful town. I loved hanging out with my kids and grandkids, and a very colorful street festival was going on too. This added another dimension of fun to our road trip!
A couple of weeks later, Lynn and I and some friends went on a thirty-two day cruise in the South Pacific - What an adventure that was! We visited Hawaii, American Samoa, Western Samoa, Fiji, and Tahiti. What wonderful people and gorgeous Islands.
The ship was really fun and there was so much to do. All the staff was so kind. We discovered a beautiful and very talented Irish singer-songwriter that was performing as part of the ship’s entertainment. Her name is Jennifer Lyons from Cork, Ireland. Of course, her job on the ship was mostly to sing cover songs, which she performed beautifully, but her voice and her own material is beautiful too. We were her groupies on board and are encouraging her to pursue a career in the U.S. I hope she does! If anything, hopefully we can get her to play in Austin.
We just returned to Texas a couple of days ago and are in re-entry mode. I’m happy to be back, carrying so many enchanting and fun memories. I’m looking forward to getting back into my music, the holidays coming up..and….my 70th birthday, December 6th -It’s hard to believe!! Wow, I feel so lucky to have acquired so many wonderful friends and a great family in my life.
Come to my upcoming shows and celebrate with me!
