Dear
Friends and Fans,
I just got back
from a great trip to France: cheese, cheese, wine, cheese, harps
and cheese! (Photos above ... er, but I ate the cheese). Now it's
my birthday and time to celebrate with two Birthday shows at the
Firehouse in Newburyport -- see below for
details on how you can be a Firehouse "Member-for-a-Day"
and get the member's discount!
I played my
first Birthday Concert when I was 19 -- in a moment of panic at
realizing I was over-the-hill. Now it's a tradition and a way to
burst the birthday Blues. And as a warm-up for my Nov. 21st &
22nd shows, I'm singing "Happy Birthday" to former Governor
and Presidential Candidate Michael Dukakis at his birthday
party!
Birthday hats?
We got 'em! In the new national spirit of self-reliance, I designed
a single-page-o-paper Birthday
Hat (pdf) you can print, tape, decorate and wear! We may
still be dependent on foreign oil, but we can make our own Birthday
Hats, by gum!!! That's someting to celebrate! And if you have trouble
with assembly, come to the shows at the Firehouse (see below)
and get personalized tech support from me!! We just arranged a special
discount with the Firehouse so that my fans can be a Firehouse "Member-for-a-Day"
and get the member's discount. (Already bought your ticket at
non-member price? We love you!! E-mail my office, let us know and
we'll bring you a special thank you gift to the show.)
And finally
... when times are tight you just gotta break loose!! So we made
a big "Week of Thanks" sale! Great savings and special
Gift Packs with prices as low as $7.50 per CD! Hey, when times are
tough, we need music, humor and beauty even more than usual -- and
the pleasure of having a gift to give can make the world feel like
a much warmer place -- so I hope this sale will make it easier for
you to reach out to your own friends with a gift of music.
I hope to see
you at my Birthday Bash Nov. 21 and 22, but if you can't make it
I have more shows in New England, West Coast, Midwest and Europe
coming up in 2009-2010 -- it's all at my Tour
Page.
