Hey Famz...
The shows in London and Paris went really well..two guys almost started fighting in paris in the front row,but Bluey made them stop. But the audience was off the hook! So much energy.I haven't done a show in Paris in 12 years or more so it was great comng back..

We are in some part of Alps somewhere..we spent 8 hours yesterday at Charles De Gualle airport waiting for an engineer to come fix the tour bus.The heating was broken...I'll be back later..gone take a snooze...

In London

Hiya,

Just feeling weird sitting in this hotel in London.

I love it here,but i always get this deeply lonely feeling.

I guess I just miss my family.I miss my Jazzie.

It's hard being on the road and away from him.

I'm gonna take him with me during the summer.

Wish I could afford to have him tutored on the road,but he needs the experience and stability of going to a real school,plus thank God he has his grandma.

I am so grateful to God for sending me Laura Leak.Y'all don't know how much I love my mommy.

She is the most beautiful most awesome, strongest ,most loving, human being on earth.

I'm a lucky woman.I hope Jazzie,and any future babies I have feel the same way about me.

It's 6:34 am..I'm going back to sleep and dream about my husband who doesnt exist yet but will one day..hahahaha.

GERMANY PICTURES..not one picture of Germany!LMAO..

Hey y'all..

here are some pictures from Germany..they made a DVD..it looked wonderful,but my voice is still screwed a little..everyone else sounded great.

I'm a little sad today,but i'll get over it..I'm gonna treat Jazzie to a really nice swing set (he knows its an early birthday gift).I'm thinking about one of those companies that come out and build it in your yard so it's really sturdy.

I'm still in paper work hell,and i have jet lag,and I have to go into the studio to make sure my cd is sounding as good as I can get it,with my throat in bad condition.

Just stressed a little..

I love you..

Hi everyone..

I'm on a two day break before Incognito goes to Germany...I have to fly out Wed night....I'm glad I got a chance to spend Halloween with Jazzie and our family.

The producer for the new CD,gave me a copy of the roughs so I can gage what I need to redo...most of the work i did is cool..I just want it to be as close to perfect,as i can get it.

I am suffering from  the beginning stages of acid reflux and my vocal chords have been inflamed for a while now.My doctor has me on all kinds of medication...

Ypu know what lesson I have learned from this? I wil NEVER ever give up singing because of some dumb music industry bull stuff.

Not having my moneymaker working in top condition has scared the HELL out of me.

My doc says that in 6 weeks i should be fine,but i have to make some behavioral changes,such as not eating 8pm,not even water.

No citrus foods,spicy,etc..(which is cool since I dont like spicy foods anyway)

I have to sleeop on my left side which feels a little weird simce I like sleeping on my stomach...

but I dont care what she told me to do .I am going to do it because if I lose my voice,i'm up the creek....

Incognito has a show in Cork,Ireland last weekend which was fun..We did about 8 new songs from the new CD which is always exciting...

I had a hard time memorizing the new songs Come Away With Me and When Tomorrow Brings You Down...and all the backgrounds on Imanni and Tony;s songs.

Carleen Anderson is joing us from The Forum Show till the end of the year.it's going to be fun being on tour with her!

I met Ed Motta and went out to dinner with Bluey and his family,Ed and his wife and Gail...we ate Lebonese food.which of course I was tripping about..I mean dag I just got used to Indian! but it was good...

Well I'm sleepy dahlins'...

Love ya.
