Tripping…

In Palm Spring, California, I visited with my wonderful friends Buddy Greco & Lezlie Anders-Greco! They are doing fabulous with their newest adventure "BUDDY GRECO'S" DINNER CLUB! It should be opening within a month and will have incredible music, the finest cuisine and superstar performers & guests! There will be two dinner shows per evening and seating will be by reservations only. I will keep you all updated to their grand opening!

Also in Palm Springs, I sang with PAT RIZZO's Big Band! Pat was with Sly & the Family Stone! And his career includes the great Frank Sinatra. He has played behind all the greatest superstars and its always a highlight for me to work with him. His CD "RIZ " is awesome and can be found through his website—www.jazznart.com/rizzo.

In Las Vegas I was invited to the Orleans Hotel & Casino for a reception/sing-a-long party at Brendan's Irish Pub for BILLY & PAM HUNT. They are on their way to the Canary Islands! As a matter of fact…they are opening a review/show at the "TROPICANA" (Canary Islands) and will also be touring Spain! Included are several musicians/performers from Las Vegas to tour with them! The band "NIGHTWIND" includes arranger/leader Mark Halisky (president of Island Bound productions) band manager/ percussionist Reno Bellamy; Drummer Guido Tris; Guitarist Jim Buck; Bassist JD Early; Trombonist Frankie Thompson and Reed Player Dixie Dawson. More to come on this too! Lots of secret surprises!!

Out on West Charleston is the restaurant & karaoke club "CALICO JACKS." JAMES BELLAMY (Winner of the past six years consecutively "Best in Las Vegas" awards for best karaoke Venue and Host) shares the stage with some of the finest (and worst) unknown talent I've heard and some well-known artists who come to be a part of all the fun. James is also a great vocalist and tears up a room better than most who perform in a lounge on the strip. You can dance and party every Thursday, Friday and Saturday 8:30 p.m. to ?? Bring your own entourage to cheer you on! Get there early and grab a songlist book asap! The singers list can get long!
