Anyway, despite my lack of literary communication lots of music-y wonderful things have been happening. Catherine and I have been filming for our upcoming video to the original song 'Differently'. This involved quite a lot of dancing around and writing on toes and trawling through some vintage footage, but more of that to come... Now comes the rather more frustrating part of editing and producing. Not my favourite job. And that brings me nicely to my next point.
Over the past few weeks we've been working hard to raise our Key Largo Trio profile. I think we've finally realised how important all the internet networking sites are. I thought I was doing rather well having a Facebook page. I even managed to sign up to Google Plus. Not to mention Twitter - and Blogger. But it seems that everywhere I turn there are more social networking sites springing up at me rather like that fun arcade game 'Whac-A-Mole'. You know the one where you must rather viciously hit poor plastic moles on the head and bosh them back into their holes, but they keep coming right back at ya? The feeling where you just can't win. That's where I'm at.
So who knew about StumbleUpon? Reddit? del.icio.us? Digg? Might just dig myself a hole and hide in it till all this computer stuff goes away. How do I keep up without spending my life stuck in front of a computer all day every day? I mean I do have a trusty iPhone now so these things should be easier in theory. Guess I'd better spend less time on YouTube learning how to do fishtail plaits, huh?
Anyway, to more fun things. We played at a beautiful wedding yesterday for the lovely Katie and Phill.

It was a beautiful day, uncharacteristically hot (Catherine and I are usually shivering in our posh dresses - so it was delightful to be goose bump-free!) and the venue was the elegant Pavilion Hotel in York. www.yorkpavilionhotel.com The photography was undertaken by Gareth Buddo www.furmoto.com

We played for three hours and the set list was all modern/pop tunes at the brides request. We'd learnt some new tunes especially for the event: some Michael Buble and Bryan Adams. Had wicked fun playing 'It Had Better Be Tonight' a fabulous uptempo Latino number from the aforementioned and much loved Boob.
So I got to spend the afternoon playing great music in a beautiful place with the other wonderful Key Largo Ladies, sharing in someone's most special of days. Without sounding smug or over sentimental I do genuinely feel that I have the best job in the world.

I guess the hours spent in front of the computer are worth it when this is how we get to earn our living. So am signing off from Blogger and valiantly plunging into the internet networking world. Wish me luck and here I come. (Hopefully!)
