It was a slow summer didn’t have as many shows as I have had in the past. Don’t know if it’s the economy or I need to get the word out that I’m still singing my songs. I had a show in Pomona. That was the first time in all these years that I performed for their library. Pomona is where all three of my children went to High School. It was good to see people from my past, people that knew me as a teacher and a coach and some that remember me with all that red hair on top of my head. I also sang in Oskaloosa, that was my first time there also. It was a fun show with a lot of fun kids. It was good meeting everyone there. Hope to have more shows next summer and I guess I’m going to have to work harder at getting my stuff out there for the public to see. I’ve been writing a lot the past 2 months, mostly big people stuff. I have been getting a bunch of my songs stuck in my head and worked up. I want to start sharing them with whoever would like to hear them. I’m thinking about even going out on Mass Street in Lawrence and stand there, singing. I’m going to put together a CD with about 6 of my new older people music and then when that’s done I’m ready to make my third Kid Songs CD. I have a number of songs that I have written for school and for shows. It’s time to get them down on a CD. I have a lot of people and teachers that want my “Stand Up” song so this winter I’ll be down in my studio recording. Last I need to let everyone know that program time is here again. The 4th and 5th grades are doing a show on Nov. 1st “Vote 2012” it’s a show that we put together in the year 2000 and every four years we get it out and let the students know how important it is the vote. We are Americans and that is something we should not take for granted. The 2nd and 3rd grades are doing a Christmas show Dec. 6th that I wrote “Santa’s Rocket Sleigh” It is a fun show with some great songs and I’m not saying that just because I wrote them. I have as much fun as the kids when we are working on them. Come by Eugene Field and take a look and what we do, you’ll have a good time, I promise………
