Here’s what I thought of this week’s new releases – Liam Neeson fights wolves with his bare hands & braves the elements in ‘The Grey’ plus Sam Worthington stars in a movie with the worst title of 2012!  Check out how hammers I dropped HERE.

Just One of Dal’s Gals!

This year I am thrilled to be performing New Year’s Eve with the Dal Richards Orchestra at the River Rock Casino in Richmond! I will be one of Dal’s Gals (which also includes Diane Lines, Jennifer Hayes and the newest addition, Caroline Markos) as we ring in 2012 – how cool is that?!?

On January 5, 2012, Dal will turn 94 years old! To celebrate this BC Legend, Breakfast Television is devoting the Live Eye that day to host an on-air birthday party at his home during the broadcast (imagine having to get up at 6am on your birthday and have guests over? What a guy!). We will hear stories, see pictures and some of his memorabilia from his 7 decades of performing.

We are also expecting a few special guests to join us, so please tune in to BT on January 5 and celebrate with us!

I also encourage you to post your birthday greetings to Dal here on my blog…I would be happy to print them off for him and present your wishes that morning. I know he will be thrilled and grateful for your support!

Have a wonderful New Years Eve! Please be safe and don’t drive if you are drinking. We all deserve a great start to 2012!

Please be sure to check out my Official Website for upcoming gigs with Dal Richards as well as my own Jazz Stylings.

You may also follow me on TWITTER and FACEBOOK - thanks for keeping in touch!
