“When you know better, you do better”
“When you know better, you do better.” That is my motto for the next six weeks. After suffering from laryngitis two weeks ago and still not feeling back to my old self, I was finally able to see a specialist. Unfortunately, I was told that I have nodules: very small, very recent, and, now for the good news…very treatable. That was all I wanted to hear. It was disheartening to hear that I would have to be on vocal rest and gone from singing for 6 weeks, but I knew at that moment this was a time to really focus on practicing vocal health and listening to “my voice.”
I work for 2 of the most amazing restaurants: Vincitorios and Vintage 95. They said they would be waiting for me and I hope you’ll do the same. Thank you for your support, and since I can’t speak or sing, I will WRITE! Now I’m off on my journey to “Six Weeks of Silence.”
I’m going to chronicle my experience here for those who want to read more.

Thank you Canada!
I just got back from beautiful Sylvan Lake, Alberta, Canada where I played for a private party this last weekend! What a beautiful place. Thank you for your hospitality and I hope to visit again someday! And, after 8+ years of lugging around 6 heavy folders of sheet music, I finally transferred everything to my nifty tablet, mainly because it was not practical to pack in a suitcase abroad. So, thank you Canada for encouraging me to get organized and lighten my load.
“I will remember you…will you remember me?”
