Tyler Meets Tyler

Pasadena-June 15

Michelle Tyler shares a casual chat with Steven Tyler of Aerosmith at the Pasadena Art and Car Show." The Answer" provided great classic rock as a backdrop to showcase some pretty incredible 'rides'.

BREAKOUT-YESTERDAY TODAY

Yesterday-Today did our breakout first show tonight in Thousand Oaks. The band specializes in Acoustic Beatles. We are not a tribute in the sense that we are impersonators...obviously, I would need a sex change at the minimum....which, by the way, would be easier to accomplish than learning the bass left handed like Paul McCartney!!!!

Rather than trying to look like the Beatles, we offer a earthy and simple, yet complex (does that cancel each other out?) retrospect of some of the greatest music of our time.

Tonight's set lists included:

HELLO GOODBYE

HEY JUDE

I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND

SHE LOVES YOU

YESTERDAY

ELEANOR RIGBY

ONE AFTER 909

GET BACK

I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER

HELP

HARD DAY'S NIGHT

IF I FELL

DRIVE MY CAR

LADY MADONNA

...and I think about 10 others....We will never run out of material with this band!!!

My What a Difference 18 years Makes

Hard to believe that Lacey is going to graduate High Shool on Thursday, June 12. 

As she set off for her first day of Kindergarten, I remember seeing a banner welcoming the "Class of 2008". How unreal that looked at the time. These little children lining up for the first time in rows while the teachers greeted each one in turn. There were smiles and plenty of tears---mostly from the parents who had to relinquish their sons and daughters to the public school system.

It seems like the years raced and now I see before me a young woman ending one phase of her life and opening the door to another. 

I wish for her all the good things that life can offer and I hope she stays safe in a world that I can't shelter her from any longer. My butterfly is about to fly. 

Memorial Day Fun

Another great weekend at FIESTA HERMOSA. The band rocked and the people were great.

Nuff Said!

FIESTA weekend!

It's FIESTA HERMOSA time...

Bella Donna hits the stage at 11am on Sunday May 25th. This is the biggest and best Beach Music and Art faire in Southern California!

WILD WEEKEND

This weekend is really, in earnest, kicking off a summer of Gigs Galore!

Tomorrow CuppaJoe is in Long Beach performing at the KABC Green Car Event at the famous Pike. It's only going to be about 95 degrees in Long Beach compared with the triple digit temps expected here in the valley areas!!! 

Then we have another event outside in Tarzana scheduled for Sunday afternoon. Bring on the sunscreen and bottled water! 

To top it all off with a cherry on top is a Bella Donna rehearsal on Sunday evening! 

Then next week, we get even busier! Gotta Love it. And I do.

Been a Long time Been a Long time.....

Only it hasn't been a" Lonely Lonely Lonely Time".... 

So busy these days, no time to blog! The season is upon us now and the shows are stacking up faster than hot cakes on a griddle at Denny's on a Sunday morning!

Between Cuppa Joe, Bella Donna, Lovejoy's, The Answer and Yesterday Today...well, I am not getting a lot of sleep.

I am also the surrogate mommy to 2 oprhan kittens.  They are still on the bottle and they really do think I am Mom. So, with 4 adult cats, 2 babies, 2 teenagers and 1 husband, it's a challenge!!

Happy Mothers Day to mom's everywhere of every variety and species!

Cheers!
