Rocky Horror Show

Now in Sydney, N.S.
I'm visiting at my sister's place (she lives here and teaches music) and had a walk around town. It's gonna get nutty in the next few days as we head to Halifax for tomorrow's show and then I'm flying up to Toronto for opening night of THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW that's opening on Thursday night. My husband Ted directed it and I can't wait to see it.
The cast is unbelievable . . .see Canadian Stage Company for clips of the show.
ok. . .gonna be a good time at the Savoy tonight.

Star Wars and Star Trek

Just finished the show here in Moncton. Great one. We've been having good times. . .hangin on the bus. . .many laughs.

Shows have been really fun. I'm enjoying the audiences so much.

Today Rex and Mike and Dennis and I walked around Moncton and ate at Cora's . . .THE BEST PLACE EVER. Bought goofy stuff at a collector items type of store. Lots of Star Wars and Star Trek figures. . .Mike got Hugh . . . . the Borg who wants to be Hugh. . .ahhhhh Star Trek. That's a good one.

Tour Bus Memories

Well, I haven't been on a tour bus for a few years. It's all coming back to me. How much I love to sleep while the bus is driving. . .ahhhhh heavenly sleep. Traveling with 8 guys. (I'm used to Creighton being here too so I miss him but otherwise it all seems rather normal.)


We're having a lot of fun. The show in St.John's was great. Rex is much loved in his home province and he's deserving of the affection. I've never met a nicer kid.


Mike B and I did our set and had a great time and then I watched while Mike (he's Rex's musical director on this tour) lead the band thru a great set. I joined in on a few tunes and that was fun.


Then we drove and took the overnight ferry to N.S. and now we're in N.B. and ready for a show tomorrow night here in Fredericton, NB. See pics/vids below.
