October, 2009

I have my garden in, my canning, freezing and preserving completed, and now I can settle in and enjoy long walks followed by hot tea to warm my cheeks from the crisp air the fall brings.

I had hoped to be finished my CD this fall and perhaps I will make it yet! I have my tracks for six of my songs finished with three to go. I continue to learn and grow through this process and I am very grateful for Craig Newnes at Glow Music Arts for his guidance, patience, and expertise while I have worked on my CD.

Although I have stepped back a bit from performing this fall to work on my CD, I have had a few gigs. My first main stage performance at a cowboy poetry gathering was at Trails End in Cochrane in September. I also had a wonderful evening with all the folks at the Cabin Cafe in October and the children were absolutely delightful!

Cowboy poet, Buddy Gale, and I continue to collaborate. When my current CD is completed, it looks like I am going to begin recording the songs I have created from the poems written by Buddy - with a few of my own western songs thrown in of course!

I am very excited to be sharing the stage at a coffeehouse with Doug Baker in November. There is no one who loves to perform like Doug so I can guarantee this will be an enjoyable evening and I hope you will drop by.

As you settle into the fall may you experience love and laughter in great abundance!

Warmest regards,

Alison
