It was absolutely wonderful. You have a magnificent voice and your son is an amazing piano player. I loved the song you did with your technical trio. It was perfect. Your arm and hand movements made it exceptional. I wanted to buy your CD but the woman in front of me bought the last one. It was the display model. I can't believe you are not, as another fan wrote, as well known as Krall. I hope you return to Ajijic and I'll be there. Congratulations, what a wonderful gift you have.

Lots of artist studios and little shops tucked away along the narrow, cobblestone streets that all lead down to the largest lake in Mexico: Lake Chapala. Ajijic is 40 minutes from Guadalajara in the province of Jalisco, Mexico. The new cabaret El Piano Rojo, where we are performing, is wonderful. The last couple of months preparation to open this place have been a labour of love for three close friends: Kateri Brown, Francine Peters and Mark Rome. Each are brilliantly talented in their own right and watching the marriage of their numerous skills to create this intimate cabaret has been nothing short of miraculous. They have transformed an old level entry hotel into a classy entertainment space which features a 70-seat garden-patio (now the performance area); a studio for the Internationally renown painter Francine Peters; a Specialty Wine & Chocolate boutique "K'asbah K'teri" and a lobby-art gallery displaying the breathtaking paintings of both Francine Peters and Carol Rome. The bar features lots of drink choices and the service staff is super friendly. The audiences have been fantastic here at El Piano Rojo. The intimate stage allows the performers to engage with the locals, who are thrilled to have such a high caliber entertainment venue in their town. The success of this establishment is a testament to the hard work, creativity and passion being infused by the dynamic trio Kateri, Francine and Mark. I feel honoured to have been asked to perform here during its infancy and witness the climb to fame of El Piano Rojo. Felicidades y suerte amigos!

In a friends' car I found your CD 'Hold me". My friend told me you were already 'retired'. True? I still have two or three outdated tapes. Where could I buy your wonderful CD's? Have a great time and enjoy life. Lutz. I enjoyed listening to you in Greater Vancouver about 25 years ago. In a friends’ car I found your CD ‘Hold me”. My friend told me you were already ‘retired’.
