This winter we explore the desert where I was able to roam as a child at my grandparent’s home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jane and I are relaxing and deciding if we want to relocate to the area where so many of our midwest friends winter. I’ve begun entertaining down here on a last-minute notice and am picking up gigs where I can find ones I want to play at. After a lifetime of entertaining, I only want to play and sing where I feel I fit the best today. High-End Resorts and Restaurants are my kind of people for this American Songbook lover with an average age over 50.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quail Creek is such. A nice community and golf course. I have dates there now every month as well as dates booked for next winter. Stay tuned for more as they come in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a nice place down the street from us “Dominics” at the GV. C.C. where Jane and I dine each week. I hope to have a date with Ted the owner soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another I’m looking at for longer term is Hacienda Del Sol. A spectacular old resort with a great restaurant and jazz scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are two great places in the Scottsdale area also, but I’m awaiting dates from them before I post. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m also looking at all theatres to book the larger VintageBilly (Joel) tribute shows as well as the Tony Bennett&Diana Krall Tribute. I expect both would do very well with the over 55 population and it’s only a matter of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
