Tell everyone you know, and if you need a copy or know someone who does, you can pre-order at Amazon.com and iTunes.com!!! Yes, we had a ton of fun in November at the shameless-favoritism-for-Richmond, two-months-early, “This Life” CD release concert! I am so grateful to everyone who was there and who has already bought a copy of the CD! The big national release happens on January 31, on Compass Records!! If you’ve heard the new CD, “This Life,” and would like to write a brief review of it on iTunes or Amazon once Jan. 31 arrives, that would be great! Just a few lines of sincere appraisal, no long essay required! Valentine’s Day will arrive shortly, like it or not! You don’t have to do a darn thing about it. BUT, if you are interested in having your sweetie serenaded by, well, me, I would love to help you express your affection! I’ve zipped all around town (and even over the phone) singing Valentines for several years now, and it’s such an uplifting experience to celebrate the answer to all of our problems-—love. If you are interested in a singing Valentine, just email me, and we’ll work out the details-—when, where, what song, all that good stuff! You can have me sing to your Valentine any time from Feb. 12 through Feb. 15. Oh, it’s so much fun! Here’s where you can find us over the coming days and weeks: Fri., 1/27...White Hawk Music Cafe!!! 7-9 p.m., 556-3388, 1940 Sandy Hook Rd., Goochland, 23063, duo, $5. I absolutely LOVE this wonderful room, and I think you will, too! Heck, you might already! The White Hawk is a room built for musicians by musicians; all the important things are covered to make an artist happy. Great sound? Check. Great people? Check. Great food and beverages? Check. The White Hawk has it all! This comfortable and beautiful venue is waiting for you, and so will we be, on Friday night; Terry is the loveliest and most talented host, and we always have a wonderful time when we play here! Come join us, and we’ll do everything we can to make sure that you have a wonderful time, too!! Sat., 1/28...private event for the Lions’ Club in the afternoon; private party in the evening. I can play for your private party, too! Fri., 2/10...yet another private event! Sat., 2/11...Harris Creek Acoustic Music Club, a house concert series in the Tidewater area, and one of the coolest venues I’ve ever had the luxury of playing!! Trio, $20 donation per person requested, for the performers (in this case, us!). We’re so incredibly honored to have our Tidewater--area CD release concert as part of the Harris Creek Acoustic schedule-—which has included such national singer-songwriter luminaries as Susan Werner, Vance Gilbert, Eric Schwartz and John Gorka. Send an email to harriscreek@cox.net to get more info or to reserve a seat. Plus, February 11 is my birthday, so it’s gonna be one heck of a fun night of music and celebration!! Fri., 2/24...The New Community School, READ Art Show and Sale, 6-9 p.m., 4211 Hermitage Rd., 23227, 804-266-2494, for info on ticket prices. Duo performance; we’ll play while you enjoy-—and maybe buy-—the art! This marvelous school, whose mission is to provide a program for college preparation to dyslexic students grades 6-12, holds a really cool fundraiser in its gym, with some of the most respected artists in Richmond and the Mid-Atlantic donating their works. Plus, you’ll find fine food and beverages to sustain you as you stroll among the art. I’ll have more info as the event gets closer. Sat., 2/25...An Evening with Susan Greenbaum (hey, that’s me!) at Temple Beth El, 7-9 p.m., on Grove Ave.! Duo, family-friendly; tickets are $25 and included noshes and beverages (even of the adult kind!). We had so much fun at this event a while back, and we’re overjoyed to be asked to return! You don’t have to be a member of the synagogue, nor do you have to be Jewish, to come to the concert! Keep Tuesday, Feb. 28 open for the annual CARITAS Celebrity Serve event at Sine in Shockoe Slip! I’ll be serving you dinner and drinks with my stalwart serving buddy, Rob Ukrop, and a list of other Richmond folks whose names and faces you will recognize! Have you ever had dinner served to you by the fire chief of your city or county?! You’ll be helping CARITAS (Charities Around Richmond Involved to Assure Shelter) while you have a delicious dinner and a lot of fun! Come boss me around! I’m shocked and tickled to tell you that I’m approaching my “friends” limit on my personal Facebook page! What would really be great is if you could “like” my music page; I always have posts there about shows and other things important and not-so-important. Just go to https://www.facebook.com/susangreenbaummusic and click on “Like.” I’m sure you know the drill; it’s really easy! I love singing for my friends, and you are all my friends. If you want to say hi at a show, I really hope you will! I love what I do, and I just want to make people happy with my music. I’ll keep doing my best to get positive performance reviews from all of my bosses-—because you’re my friends and my bosses. Thank you so much for all the support you give me, week to week, month to month, and year to year. I can’t wait to share my new music-—and old music—-with you! Thank you so much for coming out to hear us play!! If you’re on Facebook, please “like” my music page! And you can also friend me! This is how Mark Zuckerberg became a billionaire in his 20s; he recognized that we all just want to have friends, and we all just want to be liked. Pretty simple formula, really. Now why didn’t we think of that and also have mastery of computer code and other technical stuff? Well, you’re already my friends, and I already like you, with or without Facebook! Thank you for all the support you have given me for so many years. It means the world to me. |
