Western Writers of America - Stagecoach Script Reading
A slight deviation from music, but here I am as Mrs. Lucy Mallory in a script reading of Stagecoach at the Western Writers of America. We were under the capable direction of Emmy-winning producer and director, Kirk Ellis.
Fiddler's Dream, Phoenix
Janice Deardorff and I teamed up and took "Women of the West" on the road to Phoenix. Music is therapy and we both needed the healing it brings--I was recovering from a torn pec muscle and Janice the loss of a family member--but the show must go on and we're the better for it!

San Carlos Apache Reservation, Peridot, AZ
It was a privilege to provide music at this Memorial Rodeo held by my good friends the Preston's who lost their son the previous year. "Chuck" was well-known in the team roping circles as well as an accomplished artist and traditional dancer. My Vision Across the Range album includes a song I wrote in his honor called "Roger Dale" which was Chuck's given name. The photo is with my friend Rick Uhl who accompanied me on guitar.
