March and April were so full of bookings (14—in Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Minnesota) that I’ve had no time to promote performances for May and—so far—for the fall.
But I’m busy enough in the near future, with June programs in New Jersey and Connecticut, and my third tour in Central Washington State.
Several of this year’s bookings have been return visits. That’s the best compliment an audience can give, and I’m grateful.
