Thank you, Simon! That was my first time playing Queen is Dead live and it was a real learning experience.
Rhubarb, indeed. The lighting guy forgot to turn down the house lights so people just talked through the whole thing. Oh well! It still was a great experience and each night, things got better and better.
Who would have thought last January that I'd be singing to a sold-out crowd at the House of Blues? Certainly not I. I'm so grateful to everyone for making it possible. Jose Maldonado really went out of his way to put me on those shows and I can't thank him enough!
I'm looking forward to your USA Mozipedia promotional tour and am planing on finding my way to *where ever you happen to be* to ask you to sign my copy in person. It would be wonderful to meet you!
"Janice Whaley put her mind to making a 71-track a cappella tribute to The Smiths. After a year of hard, inspired work she not only succeeded, she made a very beautiful, admirable, no, ASTOUNDING a cappella album. Morrissey, et al, you should be proud of her." -Tony Visconti Legendary record producer. Most known for producing T. Rex, David Bowie, Morrissey, and Kristeen Young.
____________
"I've never known anyone approach a task with the clear-headed vision and unwavering dedication that Janice has shown on The Smiths Project. Embarked on with love and accomplished with style!"
"For me, The Smiths Project personifies why we all love music. Janice is the rare artist that might not know how talented she is...well, the cat's out of the bag. Congratulations and don't stop. Ever."
-James Roday Actor, writer and producer. Most notably as Shawn Spencer on the USA Network TV series Psych.

Clever, courageous and spellbinding, even above the rhubarb!
