"I’ve been hosting Christmas shows for a number of years now and I continue to love the nostalgic themes, the reflection, the optimism, the wonderment, Renewed hope, stillness, and magic this is the time of year brings. It is a special season when we get to believe that anything is possible. That positive changes can happen (starting with us) and that we can do our part to extend kindness, love, and hope to our fellow human beings. We all need each other and judging by events of 2025 (in the words of the musical "mame") "we need a little Christmas, right this very minute!" so, i hope that this evening fills us all with A kind and generous Holiday spirit and that we are all are a bit more jolly for having been a part of things tonight, and last, I also hope that tonight you remember a bit what it is to be a kid at this time of year and that you can keep that playful spirit with you as you go into a new year. Happy holidays, love, and many many thanks for being here, for supporting local live music, and for being a part of my community!"
