I did the show in Indianapolis in the 80's. Then last year the show was updated and they did a professional production as Asolo in Sarasota. The songs are integrated into a series of vignettes. A great show. Another powerful favorite of mine from the show is Just a Housewife. Gets me every time.

It is a fabulous restaurant and logistically probably the best choice because of the proximity to the Ogden Museum and Crown Plaza Hotel. Can you please get me an accurate head count of the people that are coming so I can confirm the reservation with Chef Adolfo this week? Also need someone to start organizing the party at my house as far as planning for food and drink. Need to know if anyone has an allergies etc. I can make a run to Sam's Wholesale and local seafood shops etc for purchases. Lets utilize the yahoo site to get some info up for everyones arrival and departure and I will organize the shuttle van with my son Mikey. Thanks. It's nothing but Pazfest II from now till Thursday when I head to UK for a one off concert on the 28th in Surrey. Hope to see some of the JMDL over there! I get back on the 29th and will be in a whirlwind with prep for the shows on the 2nd and 3rd of Sept. World renowned trumpeter Irvin Mayfield is the latest to sign on as an artist to perform.

Lori Cullen is a fantastic singer (saw her at the Tribute to Bruce Cockburn). Hugh's Room is a gorgeous venue, as you've heard us go on and on about. (hi Catherine and Stephen). Anyway, I'm listening to Cherokee Louise right now and it's a wonderful interpretation. Nice to see the collective bringing Joni into the centre as they do so beautifully.

There aren't words to express how much your thoughts, prayers, donations, love & light meant to him. I read all your letters, emails & texts to him up until he passed. His music lives on & will continue to fill our hearts. Thank you for being part of his musical community. A memorial for his large extended circle of friends and fans is being planned & we will update the website as more is decided. Please check back, and feel free to post to his guest book at http://www.kennyedwards.com. If you have any photos or stories you'd like to share, you're welcome to send them to the address on his management contact (see the contact page on his website.) We will be establishing some kind of "Kenny Edwards Memorial Fund" for musicians in need and that information will also be posted. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in his name to any or all of a few wonderful organizations helping people in need: Santa Barbara Oncology Center Sarah House in Santa Barbara, CA Musicares Society of Singers bThe pain passes, but the beauty remains.b ~ Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841-1919) Peace, Leslie Merical Mgr for Kenny Edwards - ----------------------------------------------------------- Politicians and diapers both need to be changed often.
