Nancy Cook Special Message 1

Hello friends,

Just in off the road…although it’s wonderful to be back home here in the Colorado Rockies, I cannot recall a finer spring road trip. The wind and the water left little to be desired on Padre Island. We windsurfed, biked, swam, ate, jammed, and otherwise thoroughly wrung every possible ounce of joy out of the island experience. Topped it off with a great little detour to the Texas hills to see our buds on Lake LBJ…thanks as always for the hospitality.

I had an extraordinary time playing music with my Padre sailing pals George, Jerry, Rich, Mike and Randy. Eric Hanke and J. Michael Laferty extended their gig support as well. Matt Theiss turned me on to a fabulous gig on a sailboat cruise which I plan to resume this fall. Then there were all you fine folks who showed up and made the music extra fun with your enthusiasm and energy. Thank you, one and all! And one of my guitar students and fellow windsurfers, Carol, made her performance debut at an open mic night on the island this trip. She pulled it off like a pro. Bravo!

Many thanks to Cathy at Palm Street Pier, and John at the Southern Wave for providing me great venues to play during this trip. If you are down on South Padre this summer--check out the sunset cruise on the Southern Wave Sailboat. They serve a great light meal (grilled shrimp appetizers, fresh fruit, and build your own grilled chicken/beef fajitas). They sail daily, Matt provides excellent music and it's guaranteed you'll have a great time. BYOB. Call 956-772-SAIL to reserve your spot.

...And thank you Carol M, Angie, Sara, Brad, and Lee for the performance photos and video clips.

My schedule page has now been updated through the end of the summer. I will take a short hiatus for most of May, and then in June I’ll resume my summer gigs throughout the Rockies, with a number of shows already scheduled for Breckenridge, Dillon and Estes Park. There’s even a concert to benefit Habitat For Humanity in Denver on June 21!

My fall plans include a return to Oregon and Texas. You are welcome to contact me via email with any questions. Thanks again for supporting my music.
