Really, today someone said to me, "California's the place you ought to be!" All I could do to keep from laughing. So I recited (I usually sing it. Ask my son. He HATES that!), "So they loaded up the truck and they moved to Beverleee...Hills, that is. Swimmin' pools an' movie stars." I'll be singing that for seven days driving through VT, NY, PA, IN, IL, NE, CO, NV and CA! The alphabet soup trip.
Did you read the recent newsletter? Says it all there. So much has happened in such a short time, it's clear that it's time to move to CA. Temecula, to be precise. About halfway between LA and San Diego. I can perform in both areas and Palm Springs. All within an hour and a half of Temecula. Centrally located. We're talking a whole lot of possibilities.
Nice weather, too! Yes, I'll get to ride my motorcycle twelve months of the year. Like after 40,000 miles in three years isn't enough. But I digress.
So after five and a half incredible years of Music For Mankind® in VT, NY, MA, NH, and CA (alphabet soup time, again), I realized that a lot can be done in CA. And who knows where we go from there. I'm supposed to know. But guess what? Life is an amazing mystery. And an incredible adventure. And what I do know is that I get to keep discovering new and exciting ways to help. Truly I am humbled by this opportunity that presents itself to me every morning.
And grateful. Very.
So what do you think? As I plow into new territories and new horizons, what ideas and suggestions would you like to share with me? I've been waiting to ask you this question for a long time, and this feels like the right time. New beginnings, new life, new ideas.
The canvas is waiting for the brush.
Thank you to all who have helped us to this point. Thank you to all who will help us from this point onward.
While I sit in my office planning, writing, communicating; work in my studio writing, singing, dancing, recording, playing who-knows how many instruments; driving around performing all kinds of totally different shows, it may seem like this is a one-man operation. I often talk about "us" or "we". There is a small group of us that oversee this effort, and yes, it's true, I do a huge bulk of the work. But it's all meaningless unless through my efforts I can inspire you to help, either by some organizational effort or actual contributions. I can't do all of that. So in the end, it's all of us together that make this beauty happen.
So Westward, Ho! to California. New adventures await. And in the end, we get to help many, many folks who are truly grateful for our efforts. Again, I'm humbled.
Thank you for your support and enthusiasm. I look forward to hearing your ideas.
Best always,
