Mailing list update & Beat Divas’ cooking classes

mady — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 02:16:52 +0000

Hi friends.
Thanks so much to all of you who replied to my “changing email format” note a few weeks ago. This is the last email through WordPress, so if you did not respond with a “keep me on the list” reply, this is the last gasp. My love affair with WordPress has come to an end. It’s now mail chimp or die. Food for thought. Speaking of food. The Beat Divas have two cooking classes coming right up. Join us if you can. We’ve got three spots left in San Antonio, about a dozen left in Austin.
Cheers y’all, and thanks. MK

Cookin’ with the Divas

Howdy friends and neighbors.
Central Market had a few issues with posting the May calendar,
but The Beat Divas are finally in print. This means that we have
plenty of room in our class on Friday, May 4th, and we invite you
to join us. (I’ve been working on my Lemon Cake Pudding – to the
delight of my esteemed taste-tester, my husband – and have taken
it to a whole new level. My last batch was sublime!) Beth and Dianne do the same with their recipes, so we can bring you outstanding food. At this class we’ll be adding some non-food-theme favorite tunes as well, to round out our menu.
Here’s details and internet link for class registration.
Cheers y’all.

Upcoming events and mail list updates

mady — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 03:22:59 +0000

Howdy friends.
Thanks so much to all of you who have responded to my recent email, regarding staying on my mailing list. This will be the last mail out in the old format. So if you have not yet replied about staying on the list, please do so now! Just email me at mady@madykaye.com. Thanks. If I don’t hear from you, you’ll fall off the list. (Reminds me of the graffiti I heard about, that’s in the men’s room at the Continental Club: “If your phone doesn’t ring, you’ll know it’s me.”)

While I’m at it, here’s news about two cooking classes with the Beat Divas (info follows). The first class is in San Antonio at the end of this month, the second follows a week later in Austin. Most of my performing gigs are with the Beat Divas. My own performance dates are private events of one sort or another, so I’m sorry I’m not more available. And I’ve been spending lots and lots of time in the recording studio, producing other people’s projects. It’s work I love, even though it’s behind the scenes. It’s what’s happening now.
Happy spring to you all, and thanks so much for your support.
Mady Kaye

Please assist my email changeover!

mady — Sat, 24 Mar 2012 01:45:24 +0000

Hello friends.
I’ve been upgrading my web site and will soon be changing to a new email host for my mail outs. Now I have a dilemma. Y’all signed up for notes from me on a server that no longer allows me to access your addresses. Yikes! I’d like to take you with me to my new host, but I don’t know who you are! So I’m asking you kindly to send me an email at: mady@madykaye.com and let me know you’d still like to be included in my mail outs. I’m really sorry to trouble you. (I’m even more sorry that Feedburner was bought by another business and now provides me no assistance in accessing your email addresses.) Within a week I’ll make this change. So if you don’t follow up with a note to me, you will no longer receive my emails. Thanks for letting me ask. I appreciate your support. Cheers — Mady

Thanksgiving Music on the Menu

mady — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 04:51:36 +0000

Hi friends and neighbors.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and three cheers for the holiday season!
The Austin Carolers start our season in earnest this week end.
Join us for family-friendly events and strolling caroling through various
shopping malls.
You can always check out the Austin Carolers’ public schedule at my
web site, www.madykaye.com. (Service may be interrupted this week as
I move my web site to a new host. Be patient.)
Cheers y’all, Mady Kaye

Friday, November 25th, Round Rock Premium Outlet Mall,
1 to 4 p.m.
The Austin Carolers will be strolling around the mall, so find us with your ears! If you like to shop, this is a good choice. Plus you can unwind
with some tunes. IH 35 north to exit 257.

Friday, November 25th, Georgetown Tree Lighting Event, 5:30 p.m
This is one of our very favorite gigs. The Austin Carolers sing from the Court House steps, joined by swarms of eager-to-participate children. Parents like this a lot. It’s a very 1950′s Norman Rockwell kind of gathering, complete with Santa, hot cocoa and cookies, wonderfully decorated shops around the square.
Take IH 35 north to exit 261, head east to N. Austin Ave and go left
until you see the Court House in a few blocks.

Saturday, November 26th, Wolf Ranch Mall, 1 to 3 p.m.
For all you folks in Round Rock and Georgetown, here’s some more
close-to-home caroling. The Austin Carolers will stroll around the mall,
so find us with your ears. Wolf Ranch is on the south west corner of
IH 35 and exit 261.

Saturday, November 26th, The Domain, 6 to 8 p.m.
The Austin Carolers finish off a lovely week end of singing
at this upscale mall, where we started our season last Saturday
night at their tree lighting event. The mall is dressed to the nines,
and we had a really wonderful time strolling and singing there.
Mopac and Braker Lane.
