Denver, YOU ROCK!

What can we say except THANK YOU, Denver, for your generous outpouring of support and enthusiasm! We were completely blown away by the phenomenal turnout at our Swallow Hill concert. Originally scheduled for Tuft Theater, the show had to be moved to another hall because we SOLD OUT! Fortunately, we were able to be moved to Daniels Hall because there were no other acts scheduled for that night. We loved spending the evening with all of you and were so glad that everyone could be accomodated. Mostly, we were just glad to know that you enjoyed yourselves and had a fantastic time. We sure did! I heard it said that night that Tuft Theater has sold out only a handful of times in the past five years or so . . . so this accomplishment was a great honor for us. We are so grateful to you for making it happen. Bounteous thanks especially to Jim Williams, Swallow Hill's Executive Director, for his generosity in agreeing to sponsor our show. Much appreciation goes to Tabetha Hastings and Jim Lingle of the Swallow Hill box office for their support with our ticket sales, and to the show volunteers for staffing the venue that night. Rodolofo Betancourt and Joanna Springer helped immeasurably with publicity and marketing. We are also super grateful to the amazingly talented Brian Hunter, who ran stellar sound and was just all around great to deal with -- wow. Ed McIlvaine started it all with his energetic support of us through our performances at the Swallow Hill Cafe. And our sincerest gratitude goes out to Rhonda Smith and her intern Rosie, who booked the show and served as our contact persons extraordinaire. Rhonda and Rosie, we so much appreciate your help with every detail! When I walked out on stage and discovered so many seats filled and folks extending back farther than I could see, something shifted in me. It is like the feeling of having guests who you love at your wedding, and you are so happy to have them all there with you, and you feel so supported -- never mind the fact that you don't actually even know some of them! And then the most thrilling thing is the true sense of fulfillment you get when your guests tell you how the whole experience moved them! I have longed to share my music with the world for such a long time in my life that I can barely remember when that feeling wasn't part of me. I waited and waited for what seemed like a lifetime . . . and, well, I guess it was. It has been my lifetime. My lifetime finally led me to this point, and I'm only so glad that I chose to honor my longing and take the risk to pursue my passion. The mission of my music is to inspire, encourage, and support others in their personal growth, to help raise the consciousness of the planet. You are showing me that my vision is making a difference in the world. Thank you for that, from the bottom of my heart. Cara
