To Boldly Go Where I Probably Shouldn't

...Because at the moment there are a handful of people who respect me. Friends, fans, peers. This is about to change, as I am now BLOGGING. Eeek!! I'll be trying to learn this blogging thing as I go, so be tolerant of me. And please remember, I am but a chick singer.

Which brings me to the reason I am launching this blog, this courageous foray into uncharted territory. I am starting what I think will be a fabulous journey, and I hope that you will come along for the ride. I have worked in Las Vegas as a singer for roughly 20 years now, singing what I'm told to to earn the dollar. But this will be the first time that I will get the chance to sing exactly and only what I want. Heh heh heh! That's right, it's all about me! Except that it's not. What I'm dearly hoping is to put out music and related product that other people love as much as I do. What it's really about is creating and sharing beauty. First and foremost in the form of music. The great jazz and pop standards of the 30s, 40s, and 50s. But I also am a big fan of the style and culture of the era, so I will also hope to recreate that for other fans of 30's-50's fashion and lifestyle. The warmth, the refinement, the glamour. All of which was well represented in the music, and here we are back where we started. It always starts and ends with music at Midnight Refrain. So if you love nostalgia, if you love classic movies, and especially if you love the great jazz and pop standards, please join me. I love dishing with other fans. OK, also it's that I hate to crash and burn alone. Though it reminds me of this great song...
