Members Out in the World:
Dave Burdios-Woemmel
It’s hard to believe it’s been over a year since we all sang together! Our world changed fast, and put a halt on some big plans.
I was all set to have a live solo Cabaret show on March 27, 2020 when the world shut down. Things moved online, and I was asked to reimagine the show to perform a Miss Smith Presents livestream fundraiser show in July, “With Our Two Hands”, featuring my friend Bobby Weinapple on guitar. Together we raised over $1500 for Ohlhoff House. This performance was followed by a group fundraiser concert of original songs in November, starring Jeff Becker along with Don Martin, June Kamerling and yours truly.
During this year I’ve also been inspired to write music; I composed four new songs. I’m grateful music has remained a part of my life throughout the pandemic.
The other exciting event in my life last year was getting married to my partner of many years, Brayth Burdios. My husband and I had plans for a larger wedding with all of our friends and family, but Covid said “nope”. Not knowing what the election outcome might be, we decided to go ahead with our original wedding date on 10/10/20. We had a small ceremony and reception at the Monterey Plaza Hotel which we were able to live stream for family and friends to tune in. Even our doggy-daughter Eska participated in the ceremony and walked down the aisle. Thanks to all for your well wishes and support!
