Greetings My Little Friends!

 

Do y'all remember this message from my website?

"Big thanks to all of you for your messages and emails - you all truly keep me going in this crazy biz! My apologies for not always answering in a timely manner. Sometimes I feel like I am on a runaway train... With working on the new CD, performing, traveling and a little bit of life drama - wheweeee I need some down time soon..."

Well - I am finally getting some R&R! I am right now on a 7 night cruise to the beautiful Caribbean.

Yes folks - it's that time of year again - the Danner Family Cruise! This is always a wonderful time to re-connect with family - sharing old stories, new stories, lots of laughter and lots of food and drink!

As was on the "Love Boat" - there is truly something for everyone on these ships. Now as you can probably tell by my vampiress complexion - I am not the "fun in the sun" type of girl - but I do "love the night life"... Most nights I will be found dancing the "last dance" in the disco and then hang in the casino with the other children if the night . Plus there are a few of us in our group that do the after midnight hangin' out thing so that's a good thing for me. In fact, I think there now may be some footage out there of me dancing in the Conga line at the Lido Deck midnight pool party. (Hmmmm - mental note - I've gotta get my hands on that before we reach land)!

Anywho, along with the fam - I have been spending my time with Mr. Jack Daniels and a very tasty frozen rum beverage called a "Loco Coco". So with the exception of an occasional brain-freeze, life is good here on the high seas... I had a massage, a facial and I have now gotten accustomed to eating every hour on the hour. Well, my jeans still fit so you will still recognize me however I don't know how I will go back to living without an all night buffet and tea -time every day at 3:30. Yes, it will be back to the real world soon...

However, I am looking forward to getting the new CD done and released. We are planning a short summer tour and a full schedule in the fall. And don't forget the CD release parties! Team J and I will keep you posted on all news...

And once again, a great big THANKS to all of you who continue to support my music by coming out to shows, buying CDs, sending emails and sharing the love!

God Bless, Stay Safe & Rock On!

J.D.
