Wow this is exciting. First, thanks to Heidi at Times Three Media Group for creating my website and setting up this blog. I’ve received so many positive comments about my site and I have the Times Three Media Group to thank. Great job y’all!
It’s great to be SINGING again after such a long hiatus. Thanks to all my friends who encouraged me to keep my music dream alive. The Swing Era Songstress sings again. You are true friends and I am very grateful.
Speaking of singing I had a terrific show at The Final Approach Restaurant (at the Qualicum Airport) last Saturday night. The staff and owners are a hoot and the food is delicious, especially thier homemade banana cream pie, yum. Me and my eclectic assortment of alter egos (can’t think of any other way to describe it) took to the stage at 5:30 and we all had a great time. A special hello to Marcella and Wally! We’ll be back at the airport Saturday May 8th to celebrate Mothers Day and Saturday June 19th to give the Dads some love for Fathers Day. If you are looking for a memorable evening out, we want you! Call 250 752 8966 for reservations and bring your singing voices.
Currently I’m working on several music projects:
The Parksville S.O.S Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon is April 20th. I am so privileged to be performing at this event. This is an organization close to my heart because I truly appreciate the work all volunteers do in our community. My mother-in-law lives in a retirement home and has friends among the volunteers who visit. Her health and happiness are in-part due to the love they show her. In my opinion the gift of ‘freely giving help to those in need’ is what makes Canada such a wonderful country. It’s the people, the heart. I am looking forward to celebrating Parksville’s S.O.S .Volunteers!
Another exciting project I’m working on is a new show with two of the most wonderful characters I know. You may have heard of them: Nanaimo’s notorious Lounge Lizards; Professional Entertainer Phil Randoy and Music Arranger/Keyboard Confectinado Robson Sutherland. Together we are penning a spectacular Vegas style extravaganza full of great songs, hot duets and chuckles. I promise it’ll be real toe taper! More about this in the future!
On an “Arts Note” here is a call-out to my friend artist Bill Helin: who’s been getting major attention in Vancouver. Not only an inspired artist but a visionary as well, Bill Helin is living proof that that good things happen to good people. I know that because Bill Good Jr. and Pamela Martin said so on the Global News Hour last week when they commented on Bills extraordinary talent during the Friday broadcast. One just has to look to the stars (there’s a space station up there you know) to see how far Bill’s talent has taken him. Cheers to you Bill Helin, to infinity and beyond!
Well that’s it for now. Here’s to fulfilling your dreams friends and never ever giving up!
Love
Elizabeth
