September, 2008
With the frost holding off in Calgary this September, the trees have been slow to drop their leaves and we have been blessed with an unusually glorious amount of color! The farmers are busy harvesting their crops, garden vegetables are being prepared for winter, and people are returning to their regular routines. The flowers in my yard have not faded and instead are creating a rich visual fall feast.
The summer was very busy with many performances including the Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Pincher Creek, Water Valley Celtic Music Festival, the MacKenzie Towne Farmer's market and the Millarville Farmer's Market. I performed a song at the open stage at the Canmore Folk Festival, composed three new songs to add to my repertoire and have really enjoyed meeting all kinds of people at the venues I have performed at. Perhaps my fondest memory of Summer 2008 is winning a gold medal at the Calgary Highland Games in the Calgary Burns Club Recital Competition!
I have also been hard at work on preproduction for my CD with the Swing Geezers. I am definitely being stretched musically and I am very grateful for their creativeness and support of my project.
With Christmas just around the corner, people and organizations are beginning to look for entertainment. I would love to support any celebrations that you may hear about and would appreciate your passing my name on to the organizers.
And speaking of Christmas... mark your calendar now for the second annual Old Fashioned Christmas for Families on December 20th at the Cabin Cafe. We are sure to have a great time with activities, music and singing.
Take care and may your life be filled with abundance this fall!
Alison
