This, That and a little Scat
Well, I made my first appearance on Chicago Radio (thanks, Eric and Kathy 101.9 fm). Unfortunately it wasn't in regards to my fundraising efforts, but to comment on the pros and cons of scooting and car-sharing in Chicago. (when i became a person that calls in to morning radio...I do not know) Anyhow, as a Vespa owner and member of I-Go Car Share- I had a lot to say. The adventures of life on a scooter are infinite. The car-sharing program isnt too bad neither, although it is sometimes like sharing a car with your irresponsible smelly little brother. There didnt seem to be an appropriate opportunity time to bring up Mr.Jazzman- but I do feel Ive somehow got my foot in the media door!

And for all you Jazz Enthusiasts, you've heard correctly! Jason IS working on some new material as a follow-up to Some Wonderful Moment. (So, please, please buy the cd currently on sale, before they start multiplying!)

Mr. Jazzman, buy me a ring!

You've all heard it before...the old story of nanny meets piano teacher/jazz musician. Hidden glances, secret kisses, and closet full of an indie-jazz CD that got great reviews but no one has heard of. Bien sur, love blossomed between the lyrically-talented nanny (me) and the possibly more talented composer/guitarist (him). And whilst happily giving up all opportunities to marry an investment banker...it seems I must take matters into my own hands if there is ever to be a diamond ring in my future and inspire you to invest in Some Wonderful Moment of your own. Naturally, all proceeds will go into the Engagement Ring Fund. And my promise to you is a CD that will show off your extremely good taste in music and a union that will make this world a better place (along with an engagement that will allow the bride's friends and family to take a subtle sigh of relief).

What to do next...

-Take a look
-Take a listen

-Buy the cd (multiple copies encouraged)
-Vote on the ring you love most
-Leave a message of support, love or disapproval

Mr. Jazzman
