Swing into Winter
It’s dreary here in Switzerland. Living here sounds glamorous, but we get rain one day, snow the next, grey skies and everyone in general walks around looking pretty grumpy.
So on Saturday night, we are all going dancing. Well, I’m going singing, but everyone else is dancing. The Swiss National Lindy-hoppers are having their big competition at the National Hotel in Bern and I’m joining the Uptown Big Band.
If you’re in the country, drive on over to Switzerland’s capitol city, Bern! (it’s about an hour from everywhere here!)
After that it’s Viva Italia- I’ll be visiting Milano, Florence, Sorrento and Rome.
My good friend, Gretchen Strauch, ever imortalized for teaching us how to play Nertz one winter, works at Rick Steves. She’s passed on tips of what to see and do.
I’m really looking forward to a creative break and take some time to go through Derek Sivers new video clips of the MIDEM music conference at Cannes. Pretty amazing interviews.
Then it’s off to rehearsals in France for some different projects there- one of which is going to be a killer evening of cabaret music with one of my coolest fans and friends, Mark Carroll in April- so stay posted for more details.
Currently listening to- The Vermont Jazz Ensemble
Take care!
