Life is Good!


Dear Friends,

Life is good. We are slowly sliding back into the fabulous routine of life after two incredible and dream-like weeks in Italy strolling down ancient avenues, dining on decadent cuisine, and singing in magnificent venues.
As you know, travel can be a daunting experience, but when you have such excellent company and gracious hospitality as we received in Europe, it makes it more than worth it.  We were joined on tour by our friends and fellow transformationalists, Harrison Klein and Marbeth Dunn, and on stage by the phenomenally talented Italian pianist, Milo Martani.

In the charming, ancient town of Corchiano, we performed in the newly renovated cultural center where we experienced the excitement of an appreciative and warm audience.  We received thunderous applause, a standing ovation, encore request, flowers, and an amazing reception with delicious Italian foods. It was a joy to sing for such a generous and beautiful group of people.

During our trip we also visited the Amalfi Coast, Assisi, Bologna, and Rome. We toured St. Peters Basilica, the Sistine Chapel and other majestic churches as well as so many of the legendary sights and beautiful art that these places have inherited through the ages. We danced in wild clubs.  We enjoyed the best pizza and gelato on the planet. We had magical conversations with our travel companions and with all the new friends we made along the way about beauty, love, music, and life.

To cap it all off, we concluded our travels with a brief but none-the-less exciting visit to London where we saw the staged production of Mama Mia, sailed down the River Thames, saw Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London, and had the ultimate shopping experience at Herrod’s.

Now, we return to the United States with an even deeper sense of gratitude for the innumerable blessings in our lives and renewed optimism for where we’ll go from here.

As we look forward to the future, we’re excited to share some news with you.  While we were gone, Jacque put the finishing touches on our new website. Please check it out at www.jeremiahproductions.com. She put many long hours of effort into making sure it looked right and we think her work shows beautifully.  Thank you, Jacque!

While you’re there, visit the “Calendar” page for information about our upcoming workshop series, Singing in the Moment. We definitely look forward to sharing more information about it soon.  

Also, stay tuned for news regarding Jeremiah Productions next musical season.  We’ll be in touch.

Gratitude and Blessings,

Beth and Doug
