Hey Everyone...
I just recently arrived home from Canadian Music Week in Toronto. It was great to be in that environment and around so many fellow musicians. The band and I performed "Homeless Heart" at the Radio Music Awards on Saturday...which went extremely well. It had been awhile since the band and I had done a show together so it was great to be up on stage with them again.
Last week, I also got some extremely exciting news. In May, along with some other awesome artists, I will be travelling to Afghanistan to perform for our Canadian troops. I have gone on two previous tours overseas to perform for our troops, and I'm excited to once again have this amazing honor especially with what's been going on in Kandahar recently. Our Canadian Military really need something to lift their spirits and know that we are thinking and praying for them back home in Canada.
This coming week I'm heading home to Brandon to perform at the Grand Opening of the Agricultural Center of Excellence as part of the Keystone Center complex. I remember showing cattle, in the old barns, as a 4-H member...it's going to bring back a lot of memories being in that environment again. I had a pet cow named "Annie" who actually became extremely famous. She was even on the CTV National News with Lloyd Robertson. When I was bottle feeding her as an orphaned calf, I always knew that she was bound for bigger and better things! In all seriousness, it's great to see Brandon growing and expanding....the best part about it all is that they now have a STARBUCKS! I gotta have that nonfat chai latte with one pump vanilla.
Anyways, make sure you continually keep our Canadian troops in your thoughts and prayers.
I look forward to seeing all of you down the road....Amanda |
