Happy New Year!<\/p>\n

Tonight I performed at Hotel Nikko<\/a> with the Jeanette Harris Band<\/a>. As always, Jeanette, Mike and Patrick were GREAT! <\/p>\n

Jeanette plays with tons of soul and has a consistently lovely tone. Mike and Patrick are always solid and in constant communication, so as to make the gig an absolute pleasure.<\/p>\n

I played well, using my A-37 keyboard and a sound module. I’m glad I was able to get in over 9 hours of practice this week, but I’m still striving to find a way to make 15 hours my standard practice commitment (perfectionist that I am). I’m trying some new strategies in 2007.<\/p>\n

My beautiful mother was my date for the evening. She was resplendent in a gold 2 piece gown and (faux) fur stole. I wore my lovely black gown with rhinestones :

After the performance, I danced (solo, as I am wont to do!) for nearly an hour before changing and packing up my gear.<\/p>\n

I think my level of my fatigue is finally catching up with me. After a long holiday season of consecutive gigs, rehearsals, church services, piano students, school concerts, recitals, etc., I’m ready for a (short) break!<\/p>\n

If I am to make any New Year resolutions, they would be these:
1. To be the best I am able to be
2. To practice 15 hours per week
3. To get adequate sleep
4. To find more time for fun, friends and family
5. To continue being fabulous!<\/p>\n

Performing with Jeanette was a great way to say goodbye to 2006 and welcome 2007! I have a most positive attitude and am determined to find the silver lining in any clouds that may appear, and remain open to receiving each blessing that is coming my way!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
