Dear Friends,
I am truly "Starting All Over" after traveling and performing many years with military jazz, contemporary and concert bands. After taking a sabbatical to complete my Master degree, I recorded a CD in Nashville and am back "in the mood" to "sing,sing,sing"! My CD opened many doors to sing for patriotic rallies and conventions. I was delighted to open for Tony Orlando at our 2004 National VFW Convention.
Since returning to the Mid-west, I've enjoyed performing with many outstanding musicians including saxophonist Bookie Buchenberger, Bob Ballard, Blues singer Carl Rodenberg and Tommy Stillwell - and especially my husband Danny who is known around here as the "Saxman"! Danny and I work together as a duo, and most recently have teamed with pianist, Chuck Eaken. As MAGIC MOMENTS we can perform as a duo, a trio or a jazz combo. Its great to be back in the swing of things. I hope we can provide music for you sometime soon!
Warm Regards, J.R.!
