Update Nov19…there are only about 15 seats left for Leora Cashe’s ‘house’ concert on our rooftop this coming Monday – response has been great & it will be so good to connect with those of you who can come – it is in the West End by Stanley Park…i will send details to those who get back to me to register…..just $10 minimum donation. Anyone want to volunteer?

…i’m organizing my first ‘house concert’ in in my new apartment building (Monday night, Nov. 24th), on the rooftop lounge! Our featured singer is the famous & fabulous jazz/pop, singer/songwriter, Leora Cashe, with her very talented hubby Jaye Krebs on keyboards. It’s just going to be $10 minimum donation…more is great! Unfortunately we can only seat 50-60 people. The first people who book seats with me are in.  The Concert is at 7:45pm, and we will have a volunteer in the lobby from 7:15-7:45pm ONLY. Concert goes until 9pm only & is going to be an AWESOME evening. Leora will have her beautiful CD’s available.

…i’m looking forward to seeing you soon!
