I just returned from a week in Montreal. It was a wild start as my flight was delayed due to a crash in Toronto. No fatalities and most of the passengers were avoided serious injury. The accident did set off a domino cascade of cancelations. I was fortunate, as a Delta employee was looking out for me and got me on a flight for the next day and set me up with a hotel and meals while I spent the night on Long Island.
Once I arrived in Canada, I was greeted by 3 feet of snow and single digit temperatures Fahrenheit. My hotel was across the street from the conference, and it was difficult to travel in a wheelchair. I am persistent though and I made it work for me.
The conference began for me with a board and staff dinner followed by a day of meetings. On the second day, my friend Annie Capps who I work with on the Folk Alliance Region Midwest Board received an award for her service
I spent a lot of time with my fellow Folk Alliance International board members who have welcomed me into their family. The recently elected me to be the Vice President of the organization. I begin in March.
I performed at a few showcases, and had a good time just singing. Sometimes I get lost in my other duties and lose touch of the fact that I originally got involved to play music.
I also served RAMPD and FARM by working their tables in the exhibit hall.
Lot’s of networking, food and fun was had. I returned safely home on Saturday.
I am happy to serve my community of music.
