LETTER FROM LA CONNI
September 10, 2003
Dear Friends, Fans, Family,
I've had the pleasure of running into some of y'all here and there, out and
about, and I've been asked many times when and where the heck we're playin!
It always makes me feel so good to know we're missed.
Here's what's goin' on:
Family being our number one priority, we kept our schedule open more and
more to care for my grandmother for the past several years. My father's
mother, Granny Ruth, was the angel and hostess at the famous Cotton Club and
maintained a gentle, deep love of life for 96 1/2 years. When she passed
away so beautifully, gracefully last month we decided to take a deep breath
before making any new commitments to a regular party.
Meanwhile and in between trips to Lubbock:
Traci has been working on her
own recording project that is a musical dream come true. In some respects
it's a departure from anything she's ever done.
Because it's unlike anything else we've done and because she's striving for
the highest quality, she's taking her time with it. This is her masterpiece
and it's very important to all of us.
I have been working on releasing any and all music that we have that's never
been released on CD and, also, on a comprehensive website. We haven't
'officially' launched it because there are some important additions that I'm
wanting to make. I'm working specifically on a huge Thank You for our
Announcements page, descriptions of the CD's we have for sale and the
Supernatural Publishing page. With that in mind, please do take a peek at
www.texanadames.com.
In effort to create the sleeves for the CD's my mother, Charlene, began
sorting and organizing pictures and other mementos. We discovered that it's
essential that we do archiving and preservation of our 50 year's worth of
Akashic Recordings if we are to save them in this dimension for our future
generations.
NOW:
One thing has led to another and we find ourselves transported from honky
tonks and Mexican restaurants to museums and universities!? The shift is
strange and fun. With a lot of help we are applying for grants to help us
do what needs to be done. We love to play music and we miss y'all.
However, the shift back and forth between worlds is more than we can deal
with right now.
What's next?
Who knows? We do know that
we wont be at Jovita's on Sept.13th as we originally announced. In fact, we
wont be there until further notice. Our only planned public party will be
at the Armadillo Christmas Bazaar on Christmas Eve. We hope to see you
there!
Please take care, dear friends. Visit us at our website. Keep us posted on
what you know and what you wonder about. We'll be in touch too.
Remember that sometimes when we stumble it's just a jumpstart to get us to
dancin'!
With Love,
La Conni
