Well it's pretty obvious I'm a bad blogger! I have not kept up with this page and maybe I should just give up! But I will give myself one more chance.
After spending the worst February in recent history (weather wise) in Western New York, I am SO ready for spring! And it's beginning to feel like it - FINALLY.
But very soon I will be returning to Florida for about a month to do a few shows and reconnect with friends and family there. I must admit I have been looking longingly at the photo of palm trees and blue water on my cell phone screen.
On Monday, March 30 I will return to Visani Dinner Theater in Port Charlotte to perform my show 'It's My Party - The Fabulous 50's and 60's!" Always a joyous evening of musical memories and laughter.
I am currently working on my new show for this year called "Hits and Bits of the Sullivan Show". When I get into creative mode I lock myself away and focus on new and entertaining ways to bring music and memories to my audiences. I plan to roll out the new show in May when I begin my summer season of entertaining bus tour groups in New York state. I keep trying to set the bar higher and higher, so the race is on to try and top last year's show. No pressure!
I am also beginning an important new journey working with nursing homes to bring personalized iPods to elders with special needs, particularly Alzheimer's and dementia. The iPods contain customized playlists of songs that have personal meaning to the elder. The effect of this 'music therapy' is more than wonderful, reawakening people for awhile and putting them back in touch with who they are. That's a nutshell statement that doesn't even come close to the whole story, but I am enthralled with this project and even though I don't really know what I'm doing, I'm doing it! With help from God and many resources I will depend on.
I send blessings to you all. Please do the same for me.
And I'll keep ya posted.
