Looking forward to performing at Becket's on April 20th, 8:00 p.m.  I'll be joined by some of the "usual suspects" but this installment includes Noah Harmon.  You know him from several groups including Kyle Megna and the Monsoons.  .  Noah has been in my life since the beginning and he is a brilliant pianist.  Almost "savant-like".  You don't want to miss it! Check out this video of one of the many talents of Noah! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kV-1X8RgmQo

"This could be the start of something big". The words of Steve Allen.  I was honored to have met him and receive several encouraging letters from him over the years. What I learned from him was to honor the lyrics and connect with the audience.  Now there's a perfect venue to do just that while the audience enjoys a fine dining experience. Ridgeway Country Club and Janet Planet Jazz.  A perfect pairing. The start of something big, indeed!  Woo woo!

Perhaps some of you already know this but for those who don't, I'm a yoga fanatic! I'll be joining Deb Sommerhalder as we "tag-teach" for this fun event.  Here's the "poop": Janet Planet and Deb Sommerhalder will help you find your inner zen and celebrate you with a slow flow yoga class. Aaron Roecker, singer songwriter/guitarist will provide smooth live music and Janet may help direct you to your own "good vibrations". A celebratory drink "margarita" will will follow at Manila Resto. Cost: $15 No experience in yoga is required. Includes 1 hr of yoga followed by a margarita. BYOM: Bring your own mat. Preregistration with Inner Sun Yoga is recommended. Yoga is led by Deb Sommerhalder, Inner Sun Yoga www.innersunyogastudio.com  

The great jazz artist Duke Ellington said, “The problem is a chance for you to do everything possible.”  Tom Theabo and Janet Planet will provide the music for this event.  An evening of music, fellowship and community purpose! CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) is an important program that provides training for community volunteers to advocate for abused and neglected children. Many children currently under the legal protection of the Manitowoc County Court System need your help! There are endless opportunities for you to support CASA and its mission. Plus, keeping children safe in our community is a very compelling reason to become a volunteer! For more information, please check our Facebook page: Facebook.com/ManitowocCASA/
