Allez, musiciens...et techniciens!

If you've been wondering where I've been and why I haven't been writing, it's this simple...the 69 Techno Show. That is the name of the Technicians Show, a parody of Saltimbanco, which we presented for the Saltimbanco artists. (69 is because Saltimbanco has performed in 69 cities.) Some of the acts are funny, some are serious and some are both. Some of the techs and crew learned how to do Chinese Poles, Russian Swing, Trapeze and Bungees. They were actually pretty good! For me, it was both fun and nerve-racking. I was the pink singer (the songbird) and it was really fun to step into Chantal and Francine's shoes for a little while. Elisa sang as well and we became good friends during this time. I sang parts of Adagio and Amazonia with Elisa and as a solo, I sang a Michel Colombier song, for the beginning of Bungees, which went over well and is really suited to my voice. Thanks Michel! You're with us in spirit... Here are the kids with Elisa and me. They p...

A September 11th story

I am so far away from the US but I'm often reminded that "there's no place like home." First if all there is a lot of poverty in Brazil and it's right in your face. We can see one favela (slum) from our hotel window in the midst of a nice part of town. (The picture is a favela from Rio so you get the idea).

It's strange to me how often I've seen the non-Americans on this tour lose their cool over something. But no matter what anyone says, I really believe that there is so much good we do in the world that often goes unrecognized.

My latest distraction...the poochie!

Hi everyone! I haven't been blogging for awhile because I've been so busy with my doggie, Darla! She was a Valentine's present from my hubby. She's so cute, I decided to give her her own blog too at rascaldarla.blogspot.com. We'll be posting her adventures really soon! This is a pic of her at about 9 weeks old. She has so many fans already from our walks and going to cafes. They know her by name but only know me as Darla's mommy. That's okay, though. She's so cute she deserves the attention and I get to meet some really nice people who might not have even stopped to talk. Here are some more pics from the past few months. She's about 3 months here. Armen thinks she's got attitude.................... . What do you think? Enjoy!
