WILL SPRING EVER COME?

I know it's not the most urgent problem in the world, BUT - it certainly is dreary out there, and not many signs of future improvement.
i'll have to resort to my imagination.

so last weekend was the big 2 gigs on friday and saturday, and that was great.  i do have photos; see below.  it's so great to be able to perform with the musicians i do.  i'm a lucky girl.

and on top of all the existing luck, i'm heading to Derry city in ireland for the jazz fest in may.  if my luck holds, i might be able to sing at a couple of venues there, thanks to my good derry friend and sax player, who will pass on some contacts to me.  won't that just be the grand time?

perhaps that's why the weather is so shitty here - raining and all.  it's a kind of preparation for the 'wet' over there.  well, 'that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be soaking wet'.  bring it on.  i've got irish AND sicilian blood.  i can take lots of oppression, and still smile.

but before derry, i have two gigs in april, and we're not far away:
