Good morning, peeps … it’s Monday (I think) and jet lag hit me with full force last night.  I finally went to sleep around 3:30am and woke up after 10am … normally, I’m usually asleep by 10pm and up around 5am so my “body clock” is really messed up!  It’ll probably take about a week [READ MORE]

Howdy, peeps!  Got some much needed rest last night … especially after a performance-filled weekend and another hectic Monday.  I’m still getting a lot of emails from people talking about the KOKUA FOR JAPAN telethon fundraiser last Sunday which raised $1.6 million in donations for Japan’s disaster victims.  If you didn’t see it, you missed [READ MORE]
