A BLUISH CHRISTMAS

As I say, it's bluish, tending to aquamarine.

Christmas Day, and the power is still off in my house (big ice storm), but I am very blessed and lucky, and been warmed and fed (and had my hair dyed), by friends and family.

Merry merry to all

and this was my look only hours before.....how Canadian, eh?  jammies with feet in them covered by hocky-playing moose.

HAPPY NEW YEAR, TOO.  WE'LL BE PLAYING AND SINGING OUR HEARTS OUT.

OOT AND ABOOT

I do occasionally get out, but honestly, I'm not very inclined to do so in this extremely early winter weather.  Forty pounds of clothing reduces the spring in my step...
But Monday night I got over to Hugh's Room in Toronto for the Etta James tribute show, and what an amazing group of singers were there paying tribute.  A wonderful show, and here are some pics:

Sabrina Weeks; Andrew Galloway (Electofi Records); Shakura S'Aida

As above and Ross told me to get in there too

Dawn Tyler Watson in full swing

Cheryl Lescom and Sabrina Weeks

Again, but this time on stage with Carolyn Fe

Dawn, Shakura, Carolyn, Cheryl

Jesse Whiteley on piano and organ

meself and Dawn (no flash)

Dawn sings while Shakura tries to read her shirt

I seem to have left out a picture of Carolyn solo, maybe because it was a little blurry, but i'll bring it next time.
Cheers, and great job, everyone, including the band.

ALL IN GOOD TIME

and I'm all in, after my good time in Europe.
you can read all about it on my other blog:

Here and now, I'll just post the pictures of me singing in Barcelona at a great club - Jazzsi, with a fabulous band (i have a live clip which i'll post later).
and I'll mention the New Year's gig I have, although it's at a private party, so sorry to all my public who are wanting impatiently to see me perform.

i'm flippin' out....

i don't know why the computer switches these photos sideways
