Thank you, Laura! That IS one tough song to sing, but your mission is complete; you saved Carol of the Bells from over-advertising! Sorry for my confusing message; the "mule" comes from Swinging on a Star, the old Bing Crosby song. here's hope the advertising guys don't find Il Est Ne (He Is Born, the Divine Christ Child), my other favorite carol. I'm glad you and Nathan have found the kind community you were denied in NYC. You are missed at 54 Below (only been once since you left) and Birdland!

Our cast was so excited when we surprised them with a video from Laura on our Opening night . She was genuine and inspiring. And now they think their directors are cool ;) I really appreciated her quick response. And the way she validated the students as real artists. She's a wonderful example for young artist to look up to. Thanks Laura!

Laura, thank you so much for your beautiful and uplifting words of encouragement (and for singing happy birthday!). How you shared from your heart means the world! What a treasured gift your message will remain. I know I will revisit it when I am needing comfort and joy. Sending you lots of love! God bless you always!
