It's
been eight months since my last update, forgive me folks. It seems that
though I am working less these days I have even less free time than before --
why is that? Ah, motherhood! I go days without having the chance to
get online (except to play "scrabble" on FaceBook at 11pm... shhhh!).
But it's been a fantastic Spring, Summer and Fall! I hope it has for you
as well!
CONCERTS
GALORE!!!!
I have
some great new concerts coming up -- something to please
everyone -- I hope!
Hey Folks --
So very sad for me, but a family situation forces me to back out of my concert with the beautiful ladies of VOX Femina. Good news for the audience is that my dear friend, Rachel York -- who is GORGEOUS and BRILIANT and has far MORE Broadway credits -- WILL be singing with VOX at that concert. Check out RachelYork.net to read more about this impossibly-gifted woman -- and go see the VOX show on November 8th!!! AND vote NO on Prop 8, while you're at it!!! |

CATALINA'S JAZZ CLUB presents
SUSAN EGAN: THE FIRST FAREWELL TOUR!
If Cher and Tina Turner can have 12 farewell tours, I better get started! Nah! This is just the title we came up with for a true cabaret-style concert at the famous CATALINA'S JAZZ CLUB here in Hollywood. Goodbye OLD concert material -- here I'll be trying out the new stuff, including a tune I wrote with "Guitar Guy," Brian Haner. If you don't know who he is you MUST Google or YouTube him. He's brilliant, and because my husband reps him and paired him with famous comic Jeff Dunham, Brian feels he has no choice but to write with/for me. I won't clue him in any differently! AND for the show I'll be joined by Stephen Cook (he's a doctor ... of piano!) and my niece (who says nepotism is dead?), Jamie Hartmann who will have just closed her production of ANNIE GET YOUR GUN (as Annie!) that afternoon! She's uber-talented and I'm scoring points-with-family ... soooooooo come see the show, full of VERY FUNNY new tunes, and perhaps a few teary ones. It's your:
"Last chance for guilt-free fun before the holiday season knocks you upside the head!"

CONCERTS PAST |
Old Friends!
Just had a great time reuniting with pal and mega-talent, Christopher McGovern in Janesville, Wisconsin, of all places! He and I had a blast doing our good ol' concert -- with a few new tunes thrown in.
Showed us both that even though we're apart for months now-a-days, the "tour" magic survives!!!

Disney ICON!!!!
Had one of those out-of-body experiences as I got to sing with legendary Richard Sherman who (with his brother Robert) wrote basically EVERYTHING for Walt Disney back in the day: MARY POPPINS, WINNIE-THE-POOH, IT'S A SMALL WORLD, just Google them and see their endless list of accomplishments.
We had such a good time together that he's invited me to sing on his behalf in November as the Young Musicians Association celebrates his
massive career. I'm thrilled!

Peggy Sawyer Moment
The summer of concerts was absolutely nutty! I was a part of a mini-tour of symphony concerts called BROADWAY ROCKS with music from: TOMMY, THE WIZ, WICKED, HAIRSPRAY, LITTLE SHOP, DANCE OF THE VAMPIRES, MAMMA MIA and more. Nothing like hearing 80 symphonic musicians rock out! I was lucky to work with Rob Evan, Doug LaBrecque, and Capathia Jenkins alongside the National Symphony, Cleveland Orchestra, Minnesota Symphony and Utah Symphony (Gary Mauer filled in for Doug). In DC we had an exciting moment, because there was no local singer to be found to complete the female trio of DREAMGIRLS, so a student-friend of mine (she's a 17-year-old at the Orange County High School of the Arts) stepped on stage and made her orchestral debut in front of 8000 people!!! Yay Nina Herzog!

A MOTHER'S INDULGENCE
|
|
|
The update in the Nina-Bean book is she is almost 21-months and is running and talking (and screaming) up a storm. We recently sold our home and are in temporary digs, but Nina is having a blast. Lots of LA fun at the zoo, Griffith Park (ponies and trains), Music Together and live concerts throughout the city. Lots of travel, too, adoring Lincoln in DC, a first haircut in NYC and a panic attack meeting Elmo in Times Square. And who doesn't love a pumpkin? |

So much is going on ... we will soon have a new president (and I hope whichever side loses will do so gracefully), our economic future looks a little bleak in the short term, the holidays are heading quickly our way; so many emotions are flying! I see it all as an opportunity to remember what really matters: family friends, health ... you're smart -- you get it. Now we have to live it!
