If you were one of the lucky ones to have caught the prelude performance at Lu Lu’s earlier this month, you already know this is to be super show. Now add in the 7 other guest dance troupes and you can bet this is to be an entertaining show you won’t want to miss. I personally will be there for sure as my significant will be performing with the Redding troupe.

Come see the show and you will never think of bellydance the same way again. It’s not what most often think it is….this is a class act show!

Meanwhile…be sure to checkout the great article about the show in AfterFive.

Smoke in the air….

Soon after, first responders repelled down to her rescue and hoisted her up through the fence on North Market Street.

A lot of us are not able to afford to go shopping this year and those of us who are have to be creative and very frugal. Sure there are a few of you out there who are still doing well for yourself regardless of the economy but hey…if you are looking for a simple gift solution and can afford 20 to 30 bucks and the person you are shopping for likes wines…you are in luck!

My good friends downtown at Vintner’s Cellar has the perfect gift solution with no fuss yet it can be customized to your liking. A bottle of wine with a custom label looks really cool and don’t forget…Vintner’s Cellar wines are handcrafted and very delicious! You can order while you wait the wine of your choice. You can even go online and design your own label at www.222wine.com or in person. Make if fun and memorable…the bottle most likely will be saved long after it is empty.

For those in a hurry…they have gift baskets already made up and ready for pickup starting at 75 bucks. Owners Alan and Jana along with their friendly staff are great at helping you decide and they offer free samples on most all of their wines. I am still here sampling…so pardon me but I just thought it would be fun to share this gift giving idea. Please send mine to…ha ha

Live Music: Kate Price Playing Hammered Dulcimer

dlangshaw — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 00:51:23 +0000

An evening of beautiful music and song by a Diva of the Hammered Dulcimer.

Kate Price returns to the stage for a rare local appearance. Internationally recognized as a vocalist and multi-instrumentalist with 4 CDS to her credit, Kate blends multicultural influences and a rich lyrical voice with contemporary sensibilities. She will be performing original and traditional pieces on hammer dulcimer, Swedish Hummel, and vocals.

“Kate has an uncanny ability to find the spiritual core of the music and bring it forth” Sing Out Magazine

“More than anything, what comes through loud and clear in Kate’s music is her heart- she has the voice of an angel…”
Kenny Loggins
