CD Release at the Music Cafe

Tuesday, February 24th was magical. Surrounded by friends, I sang the songs from my Wander Not Lost CD at the Music Cafe at the Fitton Center in Hamilton, Ohio. Sharing the stage with me were Peg Buchanan playing violin, Tim Kelly playing guitar, harmonica and bouzouki, my grandson, Nick, playing bass and my husband Jim on percussion. We were so very lucky to be joined by Lenny Hall on Chris Haubner's Hope for Snow and Roberta Schultz sang harmony on Just Like Tom & Huck and The Ribbon. Joining us for the night of music were my friends - Papa Joe, Wendy Hawkins, Phil Schwartz, Greg Buening, Daryl Mahan, Gary Schultz and my buddy, Carol Mahan who took photos for us.

The folks at the Music Cafe are the most welcoming of any venue I have ever met. Greg on the sound board, Mark as emcee, Keith (booking) and the great folks who worked the stage and the refreshment table.




It was a night to remember and that was made easier by the lovely birthday present from Carol Mahan. She brought me a journal scrapbook which already contained articles and blogs! What a great present! (These are her photos)

I had originally planned to just make a CD for my family and friends but due to the wonderful music contributed by my talented friends, I give these to anyone who enjoys my stories and songs!
