Hi Everyone - skip
to calendar
Happy Valentine's Day and President's Day!
Personal Update
For those of you who don't know yet, I'm recovering from whiplash
after being rear-ended in a 2nd car accident on January 3rd. (I've
heard quite a few bulls-eye-on-the-bumper jokes!) It was a hit-and-run
and I'm still waiting for it all to be resolved. It's been a tough,
frustrating time that's definitely been testing my patience and
sense of humor! All your thoughts, prayers and support are definitely
appreciated.
Thankfully, I'm still able to teach and sing, though it's hard
for me to stand for very long. I'm hoping to start performing
with Global Jazz again within a couple months. Unfortunately,
it turns out that Mojito can no longer have live music, so we are
looking for other venues. In the meantime, I'm doing shorter, more
mellow solo and duo performances to keep me going. It's funny that
since I've been taking a break, people keep coming up to me, telling
me they're seeing my name everywhere and how glad they are I'm performing
so much!
It was really wonderful to perform my original songs and poetry
at Patrick's Cabaret in January! It
meant so much to play my original piano pieces
in public for the first time to such an enthusiastic audience! I'm
taking piano lessons again and really exploring more than I have
in a long time.
Thank you to Wendy Mui for inviting me to sing for the MN Chinese
Service Center's annual Chinese New Year Party! It was really an
honor for me and great to see the lively Chinese community come
together.
Valentine's Day - As life-threatening experiences tend to
do, I've been taking another look at my life – what I'm
grateful for, what I want to change. One thing I'm grateful for
is some of the wonderful guys I've gotten a chance to spend time
with in the past 5 years. Here's wishing that we all find someone
really good for us to love.

Hand Schools - Karen Lyu
Walker
Community Church
3104 16th Ave S, Minneapolis, MN (East of Bloomington)
Info: 612-327-0050, www.handinhand12.org
Lee Gordon
is cofounder of the inspiring Jewish and Arab Hand in Hand integrated
bilingual schools in Israel. These schools have been amazingly successful
at bringing Jewish and Arab children, families, teachers and communities
together to learn. Lee has asked me to sing before he shares about
some of the powerful experiences and people who have turned these
schools into close-knit communities. Donations will go to help build
a third Hand in Hand School for the many children that are
now on a waiting list!
When I received permission from the legendary Lebanese composer Marcel
Khalife to sing his song "Asfur" (about Palestine) for
the Karen Lyu & Global Jazz Live CD, he asked that the royalties
from the song be donated. After Hand in Hand Schools received the
donation, Lee contacted me, and I'm excited that he is able to come
to Minneapolis! Note: I'll be updating the website with other
dates and locations of where he will be speaking as they get confirmed.
