It’s getting close the end, and there is a sadness here in my heart. Tours can be tough. There’s a lot of movement and people. It’s an upper. Coming down off a tour is something that I can’t equate to anything else…and as much as I feel fantastic I know there are melancholy, reflective days ahead. May 30th I was back at the ABC Keller, it had been almost three years I think! We were both stressed and though everything lined up and the music glowed, it felt as though something were missing tonight. The Rock times didn’t seem to notice and that might mean that we can be good even when we don’t feel 110%. In another breath, this too is something to be proud of: http://www.rocktimes.de/gesamt/d/melanie_dekker/abc09.html
The following day we made a detour to my cousins houses in Holland. WHAT A THRILL!! We knocked on the door and surprised them! (good thing someone was home!). Jason mangled his leg on a trampoline…by not landing on it in mid back flip and I ate Dutch chocolate sandwiches. Now back to Germany…in time for sundown, just. June 1st, my birthday…and the most wonderful party ever! The audience sang happy birthday and there were so many flowers and a gift from the hi-fi Garber shop! A Michael Jackson record (wow! And yes, I am a fan...). Thank you for the tears of joy and laughter you all shared with me on this day!...on this tour and journey. Thank you for the privilege of sharing my work, my passions, and music, with you! I hope you’ll join me again.
