Hi everyone sorry it took so long, been very busy getting the new CD out there and recuperating from the 3 other CD releases that were wonderful!
Great response every where we went, met a lot of old and new friends, (& family) sold a lot of CDs and got great press and airplay from CKUA and CBC Radio & Radio Canada—keep on playing me----great work--- thanks!
March 19 we played at the Ironwood in Calgary. Michael Dangelmaier my graphic designer came up to play a song on accordion with us, that was awesome, in the 13 years we know each other first time we played together. My friend Lori-Lee Turcotte who sang back up on 2 songs on my record came to sing with me on the same 2 songs. That was a treat; her 3 beautiful, talented, daughters Renelle, Celine & Chante gave me this great red haired funkly dressed doll as a gift that night so it followed me to the final 3 shows on the road. Like the traveling gnome I guess. My sweetie Dayle brought me a yellow rose. Evelyne Asselin from Radio Canada TV did some filming, did a spot on me for the news; merci beaucoup. Special thanks to Pat, Joan, Colin, Mike & Cheryl. Thank you to all the Calgary folks!
March 20 we played in Red Deer. Beautiful sweet crowd; Doug Lowry did great sound, Rob Hamill (the photographer who did my pixs on the CD) was there and took more great shots. Such warm, responsive people, they make me feel so at home. Thanks to the Elks Hall and the Central Alberta Music Festival volunteers. Thank you to Joan & Mike. Can’t wait to see you all again August 15 when I am playing main stage Saturday at the festival.
March 21 we finished off in Edmonton at the Haven Social Club. You could tell it was a home town crowd. Boy were they rowdy…. I loved it! Wildest crowd yet, I guess cause a lot of family and friends from Plamondon and Edmonton area showed up, what a hoot.
My Mom and Dad were there and my brother Reg and sister-in-law Pat, my daughter Christie and boy friend Trevor. Christie got up to sing 1 song with me. She did it just for me, thank you Christie it meant so much for a Mom! She sang back up on 2 songs on the record. Shaun Johnston (the famous Alberta Actor aka Grandpa Jack on Heartland) and his beautiful wife Sue brought me a dozen roses, very nice, this girl will always accept roses! So many good friends & musicians I hadn’t seen in years, thank you so much for coming. It meant the world to me. Thank you to Brian, the gang at the Haven Social Club, Joan & Mike & Inger.
If I forgot anybody let me know I’ll catch you on the next blog, but I sure appreciate all the response I got thus far, thank you. I will have pictures from the CD releases up right away, I have a lot of great ones!
Talk to you next week, catch you down the road.
Happy Easter if I don’t talk to you till then... Crystal
