HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Christmas Show 2010

Next show: Sunday, January 23, 2011- RENTON CIVIC THEATRE - 2pm

Thank you SO much to all the folks who joined Nephew Aaron and I last night for our final show of the year. We had a GRAND time! Such a great audience! We had some fun! The highlight of the evening for me was Bob who made his train whistle sound (you just HAD to have been there for that) while Nephew Aaron sang "FOLSOM PRISON BLUES". Aimee who jumped up and sang "KING OF THE ROAD" with me and all the other fine folks who sang, and danced and conga'd with us!! As always, we gave away prizes and crammed as many songs into two hours as we possibly could!! Nephew Aaron and I look forward to 2011, but, before we move onward and upward into a new year we want to express our heartfelt thanks to ALL the wonderful theatres and venues who have hosted us this year!

Here's the list of all the places Nephew Aaron and I played this year:

RENTON CIVIC THEATRE tops the list! We played seven shows here in 2010! We consider this theatre our home base. We had some grand shows in 2010 and love this art deco theatre in the heart of my adopted hometown of Renton, WA.

LAKESHORE RETIREMENT COMMUNITY - SEATTLE, WA
Aaron and I played their Happy Hour. Whee! That was fun, drinks all around. I was taking an informal poll and the residents there seem to favor Screwdrivers as their drink of choice!! They do it up right there at the Lakeshore!


Breakthrough Theatre, Winter Park, FL



BREAKTHROUGH THEATRE OF WINTER PARK, FL

This was our first out-of-state venue and Wade, Annie & Sid Hair made us feel like part of the family! The audiences were great and it was nice to enjoy some FL sunshine in the middle of March!!

CITY OF RENTON

We were invited to perform at their Volunteer Appreciation banquet and had grand fun singing for all the wonderful folks who keep the City of Renton going!!

CHARLEY'S ON CENTRAL -KENT, WA

This lovely little restaurant/bar out in Kent was a fun place to spend two hot summer nights!

CHOPSTIX -TACOMA, WA

We had fun performing for one of their family Sundays at this venue in Tacoma!

I went by myself a couple of places, too. It is always strange for me to be away from Nephew Aaron but, I always manage to have a grand time!! Here's where I played alone this year:

THE VOGUE THEATRE -CLE ELUM, WA

This adorable, funky old vaudeville house has been transformed into a honky-tonk cowboy palace just off I-90. I was HONORED to sing at their grand re-opening since the big remodeling. If you EVER get a chance to see a show in this venue, you should JUMP at it!!

KIRKLAND PERFORMANCE CENTER

This was my second year performing in their Old-time Holiday show. What a great event this is. Variety entertainment for the entire family. It is now a family tradition in Kirkland. It sells out, so, get your tickets early for next year!!
