As if the loss of Mark Barauck was not enough for the Key West community to bare, another wonderful person was lost yesterday.
Franko Richmond, a great musician and friend, died after a long and courageous battle with cancer. His amazing and beautiful wife Gail stood by him ever minute of his fight, and we are sending prayers and love her way at this time.
There will be more info to come about any memorial arrangements for him.

Another dear friend, Morgan, of Morgan and Ed, who I have know since the days I played at the Ocean Key House when I first arrived in Key West, also passed away this week. My heart goes out to Ed who together shared a life with Morgan for 29 years.

This is a truely transitional time....but also one that brings the loving hearts of Key West together....

But today is a day to celebrate life as well with the 71st birthday of Mary Jo DaSilva, who also has been battling cancer with an unprecedented amount of Chemo treatments.....and dancing her way through it.....
We will have a great party at Aqua 4-8....hope you can be there.....

Til next....
hugs,
Lenore

It is finally here, this new year of 2009....a new era, a new president, a new outlook. For me personally, it is truely a new beginning...many endings occured in 2008, but I am more positive about things to come than I have ever been.....and I am hoping this attitude is held by all my good friends everywhere....

I played for one of the best crowds ever at the Carefree Resort in Fort Myers. A fabulous group of dancers kept the energy going all evening with a delicious display of romance and exuberance! We brought in the new year on a high note.....Old Ang Syne never felt so joyous!!!! It was great making new friends and being surprised with folks I didn't expect to see there....and I had the chance to hang out with Pat, Ann Marie and Bobby, Marcia and Sue, Sandy and Vicky (from Michigan), and Karlena, Violet and a new friend Sandy. And Betty got there just in time for the party....how about that new sleeping bag girl.....!

Here is a follow up to the sad news from Key West.... There will be a memorial service for Mark Barauck at the White Street Pier on Thursday, January 8th. I feel like it will be the Princess Di event of Key West. I believe his death marks the end of an era on the island. It is the finale of one more piece of my own personal history in Key West. There are too many memories to comprehend from the years I played at La Te Da, and Marks' passing is the end of a magical time never to be repeated. A heavy heart will be carried by many at his memorial service.

So, on that bittersweet note, I hope we all have the opportunity to experience the magic and mystery of great things to come on the new journey that is ahead.....

Happy New Year!
Lenore

Although it is the eve of a new year, and I do wish you all a very happy one....it is with great sadness to bring news from Key West that will surely rock the town on this night.....

Mark Barauck, owner of La Te Da, who was my boss in good times and in bad, passed away last night at University of Miami Hospital.
Some of you may have known him or may have met him on one of my Sunday afternoon gigs or at the piano bar during the time I played there....

There will be more details to come and I will keep you posted....certainly this will be a somber New Years Eve in Key West.....

I will be playing in Fort Myers this evening and heading to Key West early next week....

Feel free to email me anytime.....

Love to all of you.....and sadness aside,
Happy New Year...drive safe...
hugs,
Lenore

Want to wish all my friends a wonderful holiday season!!!

Remember, you don't have to spend a lot of money on a gift to show someone how much you care these holidays....for me, simple gifts are always best....books, your own baked breads or cakes, wine, flowers, or framed photos of a special place you have visited, hand written cards, and of course, the gift of music…. all great inexpensive gifts....and sometimes just a phone call to someone can be the best present of all...

And don't forget presents for yourself....a hot bath, an afternoon of reading, a trip to the gym, a good long walk, dinner with friends, a long meditation, writing in your journal, or a good mini vacation to a local park!

For those of you who don't live here in the sunshine state, hope you have the opportunity to visit soon....and for those of you who do live here, hope to see you soon!

Happy Holidays!!
Enjoy!!
Lenore

Although I am still highly traumatized from watching the Sarah Palin turkey slaughter news conference, I think I can make it through the holiday without a deep depression setting in.....I don't think I will ever look at a turkey at the dinner table in quite the same way, I know the sweet potatoes and the brussel sprouts will surely rescue me from starvation.....not to mention the pumpkin pie....

But seriously, I have so much to be thankful for.....and even though the world is in a so-called economic depression, I think the grocery shelves were fairly loaded the last time I walked through Publix....

So remember to buy a little extra and find out where your local food drive is...most of us have way more than we will ever need.....so take a moment to give to those who don't...and the abundance of food that is available to all of us is usually accompanied by an abundance of love from our friends and family....

If only we could say the same for those poor turkeys.....

Put that...in the gravy.....

Happy dining....
Lenore

Wanted to let you know that you can purchase a holiday CD that has been produced for a very good cause. I was asked to contribute a few songs to it, and I was very happy to do so. Other performers on the CD are from the Putnam County, New York area and have also contributed their music to this project. Proceeds will go to keep the community site up and running as well as proceeds being used to provide Christmas gifts for underprivileged children in Putnam County. Help out at the holidays and get in the spirit of the season at the same time!http://www.putnamarea.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=4330

To paraphrase Neil Diamond,"Kentucky Women, they get to know you, they get to own you, Kentucky women",......well, now I get it....Lexington...what a town, and Kentucky, what a state.....and the people there have a gentility that makes stress evaporate.....
I think I fell in love with the place...who knew?

I was brought into the fold of some very fine fast filly's....or so I learned that is what they call themselves...a group that consisted of a professional consultant with passionate vocal pipes, a UPS champion that specializes in nursing sick patients via mamosas, a coach with former basketball stardom and soon to be doctor of rythym with a built in fan club, an equine X-ray tech that doubles as Betty Crocker, two artists in residence catering to "Your Frame of Mind", an IBM exec that decided that establishing a vineyard would be a nice hobby, a beautiful hairdresser with a heart of gold, a teacher who gifted me with her lucky charm horseshoe, and a few women who created a charity out of a day at the races (Churchill Downs!!).

I knew I was on to something when my first bet won...the horses name was "Chapel by the Sea" and Margie said bet on that one because it sounded like "Prayer to the Sea"...think I trippled my booty....

The special wine produced at the Equus Run Vineyard (where I performed for Kathy Adairs 50th birthday) was followed by another Kentucky favorite...Makers Mark whiskey!! Everyone was very loose....and the party continued all week with amazing meals that chef Betty (Cretara) cooked daily....she quickly became the "blam a blam blam" food hero and christened Kathy's virgin stove.....and the fast filly's went from hay to gourmet...I think it was really one continuous pajama party with a southern drawl....the hospitality thing is for real....

This was the week where talent was discovered (Kathy is a great singer)... and Lexingtons most popular teacher (followed by throngs of fans everywhere she performed) showed great beat promise and potential....that's Deb, canine tamer and friendly neighbor in waiting....and someone who needed a lot of time to catch up on her sleep after we left.....

I know this fabulous wild herd of fast filly's are planning to vere off track in search of the Florida flamingos who passed through their quiet and quaint town...us birds will be listening for the gentle prancing of these ponies should they migrate south for the winter....could we be that lucky???

The bet's on......

What a surprise to hear great music and meet so many new friends in Deland this weekend. And also a great surprise to run into Sheri Lohr from Key West.

Sheri has a wonderful newly published book of her poems about the Everglades called "Journey on the Grassy River". It is a beautiful book and is available at www.seastorypress.com.

Also great to run into my new friends Morris Sullivan and his wife Michelle who were out and about at the festival. Morris is a writer for the News Journal and Michelle works at the museam in town. Morris and Michelle also run the Buddhist meditation group in the area....very cool folks indeed!

I enjoyed playing at Dublin Station and met some great players. Charlie Gear is an impressive fiddle player and did a great job running sound for all of us. Also enjoyed meeting Toni Brown from Orlando who has a history of playing with the Grateful Dead at numerous shows at Hard Rock Live at Universal. Also discovered some amazing clubs like Cafe Davinci and Abbeys....a cool place this town of Deland is.....

Hope you all had a spooky Halloween and didn't O D on chocolate...

Heading for my next adventure in Kentucky next week.....I'll keep you posted.....

Here is a wonderful letter I recieved from Rachel in Key Largo! Thanks Rachel....just reading your letter brought back memories for me as well!!

Hello(Lenore)!

What a pleasure it was indeed to find your website! I've been a fan of your wonderful music since I was a toddler - I used to see you perform frequently at the Quay in Key Largo, where I would always be excitedly dancing in front of the stage as a 3 year old.

Your Jetset to Sunset CD is on frequent rotation both at home and in my car, bringing back great memories of tropical nights and helping me deal with the stresses of college (I am now 20). I often play your music in Largo Cargo, where I work part time to help pay for school - it's perfect for that store! Anyway I just wanted to thank you for your great performances and music and let you know that I've grown up with your contributions to the wonderful FL Keys :)

-Rachel Simoga

Congrats to Ricky 'Action' Jackson and Kate Miano, the new royalty of Key West. They were crowned King and Queen of Fantasy Fest 2008 at the Coronation Ball Friday this past Friday night.

Kate Miano is the owner of the fabulous Gardens Hotel in Key West that hosts the Sunday Jazz in the Gardens where I have performed several times with Skipper Krippitz and Gordy Michaels. It is a wonderful place, and if you are in Key West, it is a must do on Sunday afternoons.....

Thought we were done with the storms this season, but there is a disturbance going on in the gulf that is supposed to hit somewhere in Florida this weekend....we'll just have to wait and see...

Have fun if you are heading to Fantasy Fest this weekend!!

Seems the remaining hurricane season has been quiet thankfully! Although there is still a hurricane in the Pacific and we are hoping it is not a bad one to the folks in Mexico.

But folks are still recovering in Texas and in the Carribean, so we should still keep them in our hearts and prayers....so much attention has been diverted from all the hurricane victims since the Wall Street crisis, and although that is at the forefront of the news, there are still people loosing their lives in Iraq, and suffering in many other ways in many places. I think of that while I watch the news and don't see anyone talking about these other things. Can't wait until the election is over so we can stop seeing attack ads and empty debates. So much attention is on the candidates and not enough on the American people!!!

Anyway, just a little rant....and don't forget to vote!!

I am working on lots of new music and hope to have some new songs available soon...

Headed to some interesting places in the near future.......

Happy Birthday Libras!!

I'll keep you posted.....
Lenore

Sending prayers to all the folks in Galveston and the rest of Texas where Ike did so much damage. The impact of that storm was just staggering!

Just finished a great weekend performing in Key West and feeling so blessed that Ike spared the Florida Keys.

The end of hurricane season can't come soon enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well folks, once again Key West and the Florida Keys missed getting hit full force with another very powerful hurricane....and when Ike hit Cuba instead, all I can do is send prayers to them and give thanks for all of us here.
Check out this amazing site with pictures and comments from people and places in Cuba that were devastated:
http://www.miamifly.net/maps/cuba_ike/
....please send donations to the Red Cross for the folks in Haiti, Cuba and all the islands that were hit so hard this hurricane season.
Other ways to send help:

A really bad tornado hit Islamorada and did severe damage to homes there. Check out the story on the Florida Weather and News link on my home page.

http://www.lenoretroia.com/hostbaby/merge?stage=press
Ike is still on track to hit another part of the US in the next few days....lets hope that it is not a disaster for folks in the Gulf coast.....


I rode out the storm here in Key West with some good friends....it was messy and gusty with relentless rain, felt like a Cat 1 or 2 at times.... and it kept every one inside for a day or two....but all will be back to normal by the weekend when I will be playing some great gigs with some wonderful Key West musicians. Check out my schedule:

Hope that's it for storms this season...we should only be so lucky!!!

Until next time,

Check out this link to track IKE:

Getting ready to evacuate Key West.....I'll keep you posted...prayers for the folks in Cuba and all the others who have been hit by this monster!

Lenore

Well this could be the big one for Key West....our only saving grace is if it goes further south in it's track and gets some wind shear from Cubas' mountains.....not that I want the Cubans to suffer either....but, there is certainly more land there to absorb a storm like IKE than what is in the Florida Keys.....

Womenfest 2008 was going quite well and we made it through Friday night, but now the tourists are evacuating, and the mandatory evacuation for Keys residents has also begun.......

So.....lets hope for the best, although either way, I think it's going to be ugly, and very messy.....

Super yikes!!!!!
Heading north soon.....

http://www.lenoretroia.com/calendar
As some of you know, Laura Wood, conga, guitarist/vocalist extraordinaire, won't be joining me this trip due to her unfortunate mishap. She fractured her wrist and won't be performing for a few months....wishing her a very speedy recovery!!!

I will have the fabulous Kelley Kay from the Fort Lauderdale area as my guest performer. She is a great singer, bass player, and keyboardist, but is also an incredible flutist as well. She is not to be missed!!!

Keeping an eye on the hurricane.......

I'll keep you posted.....

I was golfing last year in south Florida with some great friends, one whose home town was Miami, and I asked her what it was like growing up with hurricanes. She said when she was a kid these storms had no numbers attached to them, in other words, no categories based on wind speed. A bad storm was just that, a bad storm. Well now that I have lived through Tropical Storm Fay, after witnessing Cat 1 through 5 hurricanes in the last 15 years or so, I truly know what she meant.

Three years ago my house in Key West was flooded by Hurricane Wilma (which was maybe a Cat 2 or Cat 1, depends on who you talk to) when it caused a storm surge that infamously wreaked havoc in many neighborhoods on the island. I will never forget the street filled with dead refrigerators and other household appliances, rugs, couches, essentially full interiors of people’s houses. Truly, a site to behold.

The build up to Wilma had the mystique of hurricane status and upon its approach people were scared, even with all the hurricane fatigue going on after the likes of Charlie, Ivan, Jeanne, Frances, and a whole bunch more....but all "hurricanes", not "tropical storms"....so much mightier and seemingly intimidating. Until "Fay"!

On Monday of this week, Fay blew in and out of the Keys dumping rain and becoming what one Key West commissioner would call "the dress rehearsal to the big one". But no one would ever expect it to get stronger, stretch across the entire state, and then dump an unprecedented amount of water in central Florida leaving behind neighborhoods worse off than what the victims of Wilma endured.

And it is still going strong and headed for many more neighborhoods. And...drum roll please...it's still a "tropical storm"....and never did become a hurricane!

So, the moral of the story is...a bad storm is a bad storm, and each storm has a life and personality of it's own, as individual as the time and place it hits and probably a million other factors that only your meteorologist knows. But the thing is...it's not in the number, the category, or the type of storm that makes it dangerous and life threatening. Another reason labels and type casting can be limiting and misleading.

In the words of Jimmy Buffett, we will always be "trying to reason with hurricane season"....but I think a Gertrude Stein twist on the subject may be truer...."a storm is a storm is a storm..."and not" by any other name"....

Prayers to all who got drenched.....and....I am not looking forward to the next one...... currently hanging out with my folks in central Florida…..where they used to worry about me living in Key West!

Yikes!,
Lenore

Since I have had several calls and emails asking about TropicaI Storm Fay, and since the national news does not always relay what our local news here in Florida is able too, I thought I would forward some info about it. Since I am currently in central Florida, I can only give info that was relayed to me from Key West commissioner Teri Johnston about the Florida Keys. Apparently, there was some flooding in Key West with a fair amount of wind gusts, but the middle Keys, primarily Marathon, got pelted with rain and was hit the hardest.

But now there is actually much more concern here in central Florida since the storm has been very slow moving and has strengthened in the last day and hours. My good friend Susan Anderson just phoned from Cocoa where the storm hit very hard yesterday and is still there right now. She said it felt like a hurricane with its intensity and Barefoot Bay, very close by, was hit really hard with homes damaged and a few injuries. Very extensive flooding is happening in Brevard County and many people had to be rescued from their homes in boats. There are also lots of reports of alligators and sea creatures in the flood waters....so reminisient of Hurricane Wilma that flooded my house in Key West in '05.

What the concern is now is that the storm is expected to go off shore some time tonight, possibly develop into a Cat 1 Hurricane and turn around and hit central northeastern FL again. I am currently in Volusia County which is in the line of the storm with Flagler County in the early morning tomorrow.
So we will have to wait and see (like we always do with these storms). So far, I am in Deland with my folks, and we are doing OK at the moment. We are getting lots of rain with a few gusts. However, we are not sure if we will be that lucky after it turns into a hurricane and comes back inland....... Mickey and his friends are trying to use some "magic " to keep the storm north of Orlando....
I'll keep you posted.....

During our recent trip to Florida, my sister-in-law drove us into Naples one day, which is where my brother works. Very nice city, Naples. Lots of money there. In addition to beachfront homes that more resemble hotels, they have a Fifth Avenue full of lovely boutiques and high-end retailers. It was in one of those lovely boutiques that I discovered Lenore Troia.

The shop, called Wind in the Willows, was very pink, and full of fabulous, fanciful clothing, jewelry and accessories, both for the person and for the home. (And yes, I did buy something.) The place was so crowded with bright sparkles and beachy colors and fluffy marabou and other fun things that it was almost hard to maneuver. And just when I thought I’d seen everything available for sale, some other charming bit of whimsy would catch my eye and make me smile. There were also two cats meandering through the miscellany, something else that added to the feeling of having been transported to a place where everything was happy and easygoing and pleasing to the eye.

I describe the shop in detail, because as I was wandering through it, the music playing was perfect for the atmosphere. It was bright and sparkly and happy, too. I really started paying attention to it, though, when I heard this lyric: “She wants a Cuban cigar.” That was when I started smiling at the music playing, in addition to the shop’s wares.

Naturally, I had to ask the salesclerk who the artist was they were playing. She graciously went to the back room and returned with this CD, “Sand Dancing,” whose artist and title I wrote down so that I could further investigate when I got home. I was delighted upon checking iTunes to find not just this CD available, but five others. Just like that, I was able to put Lenore Troia on my iPod.

I love this collection. Upon listening, my husband and I decided she’s a mix of Kirsty MacColl, Michael Franks and Jimmy Buffett--fun, smoothly jazzy and tropical. The first two songs are a little slower and more mellow than “She Wants a Cuban Cigar,” which comes third and throws the CD into a calypso direction. Then comes what may be my favorite in the collection, even more than “Cuban Cigar”--”It’s Time to Live Again.” This song could have come from a black and white movie with Xaviar Cugat’s Orchestra and Carmen Miranda singing beneath a big fruit hat. It’s terrific. Then we move back to jazz, then into reggae, then jazz again (a really nice version of “Summertime”). She winds up with “Andante, Andante,” which is almost classical, and a piano instrumental of “God Bless America” that was evidently chosen along with versions by Jimi Hendrix, Woodie Guthrie and Lee Greenwood (among others) for a network Fourth of July celebration.

Upon checking out Troia’s web site, I also discovered she’s a transplanted Floridian, originally from New York and having grown up in Connecticut. (There seem to be A LOT of people from the northeast who’ve picked up and moved to that state.) She’s now evidently a fixture of the Florida Keys, playing clubs and events in the area (or wherever bodies of water can be found.)

I know I’ve been bitching and moaning about summer lately, but Lenore Troia’s music is a welcome addition to my summertime music collection. And although I’ve had enough of summer, thankyouverymuch, I can never have too much summertime music.

Pina coladas on me, everybody!

Thanks Elizabeth!!!
best to you....Lenore

What a month...it started out to be a simple surprise party for Madam Commisioner Teri Johnston, and turned into a series of gigs with Key West's finest musicians!! From Aqua to Virgilio's to the Garden, the venues and the music were incredible...and the audience was filled with folks I haven't seen for ages....a grand reunion of sorts....and so much fun was had by all!!!

Upon arrival I had the great pleasure of teaming up with Ken Fradley, world class horn player, and the one and only Skipper Krippitz. We jammed at the V (Virgilios) 'til the wee hours of the morning....I would then team up with Skipper again with the amazing Gordy Micheals, on keyboards and guitar, at the Garden on Sunday afternoon, what a crowd, and then back at the V the following week with the phenomenal Marty Stonely on sax....the very talented Laura Wood was there attracting new fans with her incredible rythymic talents and energy...it was truely a musical banquet!!

My good freinds from Raleigh NC Jan and Ann, Cindy and Kim, and the rest of the gang prompted an impromptu pool party at Pearls Rainbow that was so fun and delightful...a real splash!!....So great to hang with all the gals...our own private event...fantastic!! Thanks for letting us do that Leslie!!

At Aqua we celebrated Teri Johnston's birthday and of course Cha Cha Ublonski made her appearance dazzling the crowd....the conga line impressed the Duval street masses and pictures are on display in the photo gallery....

The most moving event of the week was also at Aqua when a benefit for a local gal, Karen, was held and hosted by her dear and devoted friend Wendy....a truely monumental moment was witnessed when Wendy auctioned off shaving her head to raise money for Karens cancer treatment fund. Again, Key West folks continue to amaze with their caring spirit and generosity!!! Thanks to all who attended and gave to the cause....

Check back again to see where my next adventure takes me....I will be back in Key West in September...

'Til then, enjoy the summer.....

hugs,
Lenore
