WHAT A TREAT IT WAS LAST NIGHT TO HAVE A WONDERFUL CONCERT….IN MY VERY OWN HOME!
THE BOMBADILS AND BEN SURES AND FRIENDS PERFORMED FOR 2 1/2 HOURS AND THE TIME FLEW BY. OUR HOME TURNED OUT TO BE A FINE VENUE FOR PERFORMERS WITH LOTS OF SPACE AND SEATS FOR ABOUT 45 PEOPLE AND MAYBE MORE IF WE BUY MORE CHAIRS…HA HA.
WE HAD A FULL HOUSE WITH ALL GUESTS BRINGING FOOD TO SHARE, THEIR OWN DRINKS AND $20.00 A PERSON FOR THE BAND. TERRY AND I PROVIDED HOT DRINKS AND OUR HOME AND IT LOOKS LIKE EVERYONE HAD A GOOD TIME.
I KNOW NOW THAT I CAN EASILY HAVE MY OWN HOUSE CONCERT WHEN I AM READY FOR MY 3RD C.D. RELEASE.
I HAVE THE PLEASURE OF RECORDING WITH THE BOMBADILS TOMORROW MORNING SO IT IS A DOUBLE BLESSING FOR ME! ALSO WE WILL RECORD AT MY DAUGHTER’S HOME STUDIO AT BITTERNORTH . ALREADY THIS NEW YEAR IS BRINGING LOTS OF HAPPINESS.

I AM SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS CONCERT IN MY HOME ON JANUARY 3RD. I CAN’T BELIEVE IT IS SOLD OUT ALREADY IN ONLY A COUPLE OF DAYS ! I KNOW IT WILL BE SUCH A GOOD GOOD CONCERT.

I’M GETTING TOGETHER A GREAT TEAM OF PLAYERS AND I AM ANXIOUS TO CONTINUE RECORDING IN THE NEW YEAR ! STAY TUNED .
MERRY CHRISTMAS !

LOTS OF FUN WORKING ON NEW TRACKS WITH GREAT ARTISTS. TERRY ROPCHAN IS SOUNDING BEAUTIFUL WITH HIS NEW ELECTRIC CLASSICAL GUITAR AND I AM EXCITED TO START WORKING WITH MY NEW LEAD GUITAR PLAYER, DRUMMER, AND SPECIAL GUEST ARTISTS…THE BOMBADILS !
Happy artist

0 Heartland Concert !
The folks at Heartland Alliance understand the word ‘ hospitality’ . From the moment we walked into the foyer we felt welcomed. Actually our host, Elfrieda, held the door for us to say ‘ welcome’ so it was before we even arrived into the building…lol.
The room was cozy and each table was decorated beautifully for this month’s Senior’s Dinner. We already had some sound equipment and supplies ready for us so we only had to bring half the equipment we usually haul for a concert ….very appreciated by all of us.
Our sound check went well and then we were invited to stay and join the group for dinner ! I feel like the evening went well….we certainly felt a warm reception ..and I had a ton of fun singing some of my new songs and a mixture of oldies and hymns last night. Terry sang some of his fun originals too and many folks loved his ” Co-Op” song about finding everything you need at the store near where he grew up .
I want to send a big thank-you to Cheryl Francis for inviting us to entertain. I hope we sing for you again someday….

0 SO much fun with music !
THIS HAS BEEN A GREAT TIME FOR MUSIC IN MY LIFE. WHEN I WAS SURPRISED BY ALL OF MY SISTERS NEAR ME ( 2 ARRIVED FROM ONTARIO) WE DECIDED TO GO INTO THE BITTER NORTH STUDIO ( EMILY BACHYNSKI ) AND RECORD SOME HARMONIES TO 2 OF THE 14 TRACKS I HAVE LAID DOWN FOR C.D. NUMBER 3
I AM THINKING OF CALLING IT ‘ THAT’S HOW WE’LL WIN ‘ WHICH IS BASED ON MY SONG OF THE SAME NAME . PAULA, PAM AND MARY DID A WONDERFUL JOB AND NOW I AM TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET THEM ON MORE TRACKS.
AFTER THE GIRLS FLEW HOME , PAULA , TERRY ( MY HUSBAND) AND I CONTINUED REHEARSALS FOR 2 UPCOMING GIGS.
WE HAD ANOTHER FULL HOUSE AT THE CARROT AND WE HAVE ANOTHER CONCERT TOMORROW NIGHT AT HEARTLAND ALLIANCE CHURCH IN SHERWOOD PARK.
I LOVE SHARING MY MUSIC ! I HAVE NOW LINED UP A WONDERFUL DRUMMER AND LEAD GUITAR PLAYER SO LOTS MORE RECORDING TIME UP AHEAD.
EVERYDAY THE NEWS BRINGS US TOUGH STORIES . LET’S KEEP ON SINGING !
HAPPY REMEMBRANCE DAY !

0 Bitter North Recording Studio Day
Another great time recording with Bitter North Studios owned and operated by my daughter, Emily Bachynski.
We managed to get the tracks down for 4 of my new songs and I’m looking forward to adding some sweet harmonies from my sisters who will be in town soon .
I’m so excited to share my newest C.D. with you all . I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I have enjoyed writing and recording it ! 
0 Epiphany
I THOUGHT I WOULD TRY MY HAND AT RECORDING MYSELF FOR YOUTUBE. I JUST USED MY PHONE BUT HERE IS ONE OF MY NEW SONGS…..CALLED ‘ EPIPHANY’ .
0 2 FUNERALS AND A BIRTHDAY
I WAS THINKING OF THAT OLD MOVIE ” 2 WEDDINGS AND A FUNERAL ” THE OTHER DAY. I DON’T REMEMBER TOO MUCH ABOUT THAT FILM ONLY THAT I LIKED IT. RECENTLY I HAD THE HONOUR OF PLAYING MUSIC AT …..2 FUNERALS AND A BIRTHDAY PARTY. I FIND FUNERALS TO BE SUCH A BEAUTIFUL MIXTURE OF SADNESS AND THE JOY OF BEING TOGETHER AS SUPPORTIVE FRIENDS AND FAMILY. I FEEL BLESSED TO HAVE BEEN ASKED TO SING AND PLAY AT THESE EVENTS.
THE BIRTHDAY PARTY WAS AT THE GENERAL HOSPITAL WHERE A BROTHER (FRANK -WHO IS IN HOSPICE) IS JOINED BY ALL OF HIS SIBLINGS EVERY YEAR TO CELEBRATE THEIR BIRTHDAYS TOGETHER.
ONE OF THE SISTERS, TERRY JOSEY, ASKED ME IF I WOULD DO A CONCERT FOR THE ‘PARTY’ AND SO I PUT TOGETHER AN HOUR OF OLDIES ( WHICH FRANK LOVES) AND SOME OF MY ORIGINALS. ME AND SOME OF MY FAMILY ( MY HUSBAND, TERRY , AND MY SISTER, PAULA) SANG FOR THEIR WONDERFUL FAMILY. 2 FAMILIES COMING TOGETHER AND CONNECTED WITH MUSIC.
