Irvin Mayfield extends new invite to Haley

[Tusk]

Slow day, so I'll divulge something.

Chrissy Miller, NOJO Director of Programming, contacted me by Twitter to offer me a ticket

She's the Gal we first met in New Orleans that fateful day Casey recorded Haley performing GBTC with Irvin,


Yes, that's a shrimp necklace LOL

She's also the gal in the red dress who sang HTRJ with Haley and Casey.

Saw your Carnegie Hall trib vid. I just may know the girl in red

I thanked for giving Haley the opportunity to perform with NOJO, that I loved the show at Carnegie, my first real exposure to Jazz

Awesome! That's why we're here!

Also, I told her that it's Haley's talent and uplifting personality that makes it easy to support her. Chrissy had this to say about working with Haley,

You're right. She's wonderful and fun to work with. Lovely gal!

My first time seeing Haley, live, in Spokane Washington, the question I was prepared to ask Haley, then forgot, then was able to get an answer before she was pulled away by handlers, was, Will she accept Irvin's invite to Carnegie Hall?

She said something like ".... let me tell you, it's a go" with two thumbs up....

Funny the way things sometimes go ....

Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
When I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire

Apparently Irvin and NOJO are having some kind of free event on the 20th, when they arrive in Chicago,

Irvin retweeted this

@nolaNOJO @Amtrak @ChiUnionStation @IrvinMayfieldJr this is a fantastic idea!!!
Love this!!!!#NOLAroadtoChi #NOJO pic.twitter.com/VTtg0amb96

She just followed me and tweeted
(thinking about it, she might have mistakenly followed me thinking she was following Haley because I don't see her tagging "@HaleyReinhart" in the following tweet apparently meant for Haley),

@HaleysTusk @nolaNOJO @Amtrak @ChiUnionStation @IrvinMayfieldJr Hi Haley! I am writing abt the show for Chi Jazz Mag 8) I live in Wheeling!

"Kimberly Gordon

A singers singer, a musicians singer, and a music lovers singer....Kimberly also writes a column The Jazz Foodie for Chicago Jazz Magazine"

I retweeted it, so maybe Haley will see it through the retweet....


I tweeted Haley and Irvin asking whether Haley will be there too....

Kimberly Gordon ‏@kimberl38180125 7m
@HaleysTusk @nolaNOJO @ChicagoTheatre @HaleyReinhart see you there! Sorry thought u were her!

LOL I'm honored

[Tusk]

She posted an extended interview article about Irvin and their arrival by train tomorrow...

In this whole journey I've been lead on, it really does feel like 'everything happens for a reason' so I'll take her following me and mistaking me for Haley as an opportunity to get her to write something up on Haley....

@kimberl38180125 might we be getting an interview with hometown gal @HaleyReinhart ?

Kimberly Gordon ‏@kimberl38180125 51m

Lol thnx, I was on a Twitter roll today, I figured why not take the opportunity that has presented itself to get pub for her

Kind of kicking myself for turning down ticket offered from NOJO...could have given it to one of the local Haliens

I was so shocked I was actually being contacted by NOJO, I wasn't thinking....who knows where those seats might have been
