Singing and Riding at White Stallion Ranch 11/16/11

Anna Twinney's Animal Communication Clinic

Hayride

Just finished a scenic ride and ready for team penning!

White Stallion Ranch

It was great  singing for Anna Twinney's Animal Communication Clinic and singing for the other guests @ White Stallion Ranch. What a connection through music: "Just a Horse", "The Horse Nobody Could Ride" and a new one Carol Moore from White Stallion Ranch had shared with me the week before, that I had just learned & shared with  all of them: "Come Ride with Me". Speaking of riding, I throughly enjoyed riding @ White Stallion Ranch AND doing team penning for the 1st time!

So far, this November has been fun and fulfilling, with music and horses. On Mon., Nov.14th my husband Kevin and I visited Equine Voices, a  sanctuary for abused horses. How inspiring to see the work Karen Pomroy and her staff of volunteers are doing to rescue and restore these beautiful creatures. I shared some songs with Karen in their lovely new Equine Voices Memorial Garden: "The Horse Nobody Could Ride",  "Just a Horse", "Watercolor Ponies" and "Come Ride with Me".  I will have the pleasure of providing some Live Music at  Equine Voices *Holiday Open House on Sat. Dec. 10th, 2011 from 12:30 - 4:30pm

SEPTEMBER and OCTOBER MUSIC HAPPENINGS

 I sure love what I do! Music is  such a great bridge for meeting people and creating good times.
This Sept. I had the pleasure of playing for a couple events at BANDIT OUTFITTERS @ COLOSSAL CAVE PARK. One was a wagon ride/cowboy cook-out for a retirement group from La Posada, Green Valley,AZ.
The other was a private retirement party. Great people..good times... From the little kids to the older folks, everyone enjoyed the wagon ride, delicious food, the music and the sing-a-longs around the campfire.

October 6th I did a show @ THE BONE-IN STEAKHOUSE. What a great turn out and wonderful time. I love this place. Great ambiance, food, staff and customers. Many  who came were 1st time customers and loved the food made by their excellent chef.  Their smokehouse  meat is melt in your mouth delicious with yummy sauces. The connections made over music with the guests that evening are ones I'll cherish. Did I already say I love what I do?!

HOW THIS ALL BEGAN...

Since February I've had the pleasure of doing Live Music and Campfire Sing a Longs @ Bandit Outfitters, which is located  in the scenic Colossal Cave Park, here in Tucson, AZ.  What fun it's been to provide some background music while people are enjoying their meal after a trail ride or wagon ride, then invite them to join me around the campfire for an old fashioned sing a long. Most everyone wants to linger and are in no hurry to leave! We'll be doing more events @ Bandit Outfitters soon! I'LL KEEP YOU POSTED
