Hi there, Nancy Carey Johnson, Singer/Songwriter here on a gorgeous late summer day. Just got to thinking about a recent experience I had and thought I'd share it with you. So @ a year ago I was getting gas and the music was just pouring out of me (I know, what else is new?). Anyway, happens that another woman was getting gas at the same time, heard me singing and said "Wow, you're good! My fiance and I put on concerts with all kinds of acts including New Riders of the Purple Sage down 22 at Kaplan's farm". Long story short, nothing much happened after that. Funny though how things can percolate. I thought about that conversation many times over the winter and then low and behold, there was a poster up at the grocery store in Millerton advertising a couple of concerts promoted by Michael Rooney of Rooney Tunes Productions.
Finally something clicked in my brain and I thought "I'm going to look Kaplan's farm up and march my butt down there and introduce myself", which is just want I did. Turns out it was a good thing to do. Michael and company are seriously nice people who are trying to do really good things for the community in part by modeling themselves after the Rex Foundation. These concerts help to raise money for local charities and I'm all about being a good community member!
You rock Michael Rooney and RooneyTunesProductions! Look forward to working with you in the near future! - Nancy
