Need to get to know more

Favorite Jazz Radio or media station

New area for me but I'm willing to learn.

Favorite Pittsburgh Jazz Venue

Haven't been there yet but years ago someone from Pittsburgh saw me at a Holiday Inn somewhere, when on business, and said I definitely needed to play in Pittsburgh because I'd go over great there so I'm up for it, guys.

About Me:

At 71 I released my first jazz-vocal CD during the winter of 2008 (http://www.cdbaby.com/ellifordyce), am working on the follow-up for Jan. 1, 2009, and am launching internationally what has been an on-and-off performing history as a jazz singer. I've been doing some on-camera acting (another life-long dream) starting at 62. A project with which I'm involved is making a feature-length doc about all of the above and more and in developement is a talk/variety show for TV and/or new media (think Oprah meets Mike Douglas) which I'll host and include those and all my other passions. I also coach jazz singers and other performers, life-coach to folks to help them manifest their creative dreams, and host a yahoo group to exchange good news and resources in life-coaching, healing, holistic-health, metaphysics, quantum physics, creativity and life (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NYLOAwork) to which anyone interested is invited. I have a 5-lb. Yorkie who is frequently on-stage/on-camera with me (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aTEHdqHdg8 -- the studio audio to be synched with this when I get to it).

And so it goes! Look forward to meeting many of you.

Best,
