Hi All,
Well, here we are in April, and while quite a few of my gigs are private affairs over the next few months, there are several dates that are "open to the public".
(note: please read the blurb at the end concerning email--thanks)
I hope you can swing by and say "hi". These are some very cool venues......

Note concerning email--
I have always tried to return all email, and believe me, I get quite a lot! Many of you are writing to comment on my books, videos, and recordings. I really appreciate hearing from all of you, and I mean it sincerely. You folks support me and I know who my friends are....
Lately, however, for some reason my website has been receiving 2000 to 4000 hits per day! This has generated an ENORMOUS amount of email. Try as I might, I just cannot guarantee an answer to everyone (hey, I need time to practice y'know....)
I don't feel great about this, but email has taken over my life at this point.
I will try to answer the emails I can....I hope you all understand......thanks.
Have a great month,
Jody
