Check out this article in the Charleston Daily Mail!!

This morning I opened up one of the Charleston, WV papers and saw this AMAZING spread on the front page of the Entertainment section that featured the photo you see on my BACK HOME AGAIN/DREAMING OF CHARLESTON poster (currently my MySpace profile picture) in this gorgeous layout that filled nearlly the entire page. I practically fell out of my seat...except I was standing. Maybe the earth moved a little, I can't tell. My first thought was WOW! And then this wave of profound sadness hit me like a tsunami because I couldn't show my Dad. He passed away about a year and half ago and as happy as I am to be home again the whole city (if not the state, the country and the planet) feels so empty knowing he is not here. But I am still grateful for the fabulous promotion which you can see online. The lay out is not the same nor the photo but they do feature one of my latest pics done with the fab photog Austin Young!

I do hope everyone in Charleston who is a Myspace pal will come to the show (and tell their K-Valley friends). I also hope Dad will be watching the goings on here in Almost Heaven from what I hope IS Heaven when we do our first show on The CLay Center stage on Sunday - which, interestingly enough, is Father's Day. Sigh. I miss my Dad. But I am happy to be back 'home' again. Hope I can keep it together. Was it Sophie Tucker who said "Honey, if you cry, they don't"? Or was it Ethel Merman. Some old broad who trodded the boards way back when.

Love to all!
