That's 20 shows in one year kids; not quite 2 a month. And, that doesn't count the dozen or so shows I played with the Serenaders and the 3 shows I played with One Night Band. I was a busy woman.

It's impossible for me to express how grateful I am for having music back in my life, how much I love performing. Every show is a gas.

The Serenaders' last show was a holiday party for Dunn House clients and staff. Dunn House supports victims of domestic violence as they transition into new lives. There were at least 50 women and children at the show, including a slew of toddlers. The toddlers loved us. They looked like the dance party at Charlie Brown's Christmas. Each kid has his/her signature move and they rocked the house. I couldn't quit grinning. People from 8 months to 80 years old moving, dancing, bopping, noddding their heads, smiling - that's why I do this. That's what keeps me coming back.
