Hi there, folks! Just heard a wild and wacky rumour that we've been nominated for a few Island Music Awards! I don't know all the particulars yet, but it's listed in the local entertainment mag, apparently.

More details to come.... :D

Hope you are doing well!
Hug,
Caroline :D

Hi there, Everyone who comes to visit, especially our visitors from Europe who came in droves last month! Thanks! Someday, we hope to make it out that way to meet you all and give you great big thank you hugs! :D

Anyway -- it's March 1st, the cherry trees are blossoming all around here in the city of Victoria, and I just finished putting together a rough demo of a new song, "Living Like Garbo" -- it's the song that I had to write about the album that I'm working on called "Living Like Garbo" -- haha! :D So, I just finished that and feel pretty good about getting it done.

Band stuff is coming along well. We are still looking for a talented and special guitar player to come and join our group. Hey, if you are out there, lovely guitar player person, looking for us, we are looking for you too. :D

Other than that -- we have some new people that have come to the band that I want to introduce to you. There's Polly, Laura and Ursula who have brought their incredible talents and lovely personalities to the band.

Polly plays violin like a magical gypsy lass and sings like an angel -- and is radiant with creative energy and laughter.

Laura, one of the friendliest people you will ever meet, has a talent for creating harmonies, and an unique and luminous voice that dances.

Ursula, another kind and lovely person, has a sweet, breathy voice and a talent for rapping, plays jazz keyboards with her own flair, and adds a unique 'urban' sound to the mix.

All three are stellar human beings with gorgeous smiles and positive attitudes, and tons of talent. They have such special gifts to bring to the world, I feel honoured to work with them, and be a part of creating something really special together.

John, who plays bass, can also sing - and all of us together are creating harmonic tapestries that I can't wait for you to hear.

We are working up a bunch of songs and hope to get out there and play for you soon!

Lots of other exciting opportunities are currently in the works. I can't wait to share it all with you -- but I must leave something for the next installment. :D

Thank you, thank you, thank you -- all of you out there who are so supportive and sending positive energy this way. You have our heartfelt gratitude. :D I've always wanted to be able to inspire other people to follow their dreams somehow. I try to live that every day of my life, but I'm certainly far from perfect. And sometimes life sends amazing reminders that it really does want us to create something beautiful for others. So don't give up! :D

There, I must have watched too much Extreme Home Makeover today... :D I'm all mushy.

Lotsa huggooollas,
Caroline :D

P.S. A shout out to our friend Calvin, who is being honoured for being Volunteer of the Year at a local hospital here in Victoria. He comes out and helps us out too, and we really appreciate it. Congrats, Calvin!! :D You Rock!
