What is that creature you ask...That's just my silly old boy, Willis, tossing his head backwards over his rescue brother, Rawls, while begging for his beloved chin scratches. Are your furbabies loving having you home this week? #whatchutalkinboutwillis #myboybill #chinrubs #seniordog #seniorboxer #jowls #jowlsfordays #sugarface #silverfox #rescue #WhoRescuedWho #rescueboxer #opttoadopt #womansbestfriend #stayathomedogmom #pawsome #degenerativemyelopathy #boxerswithdm #boxerlove #boxersofinstagram #thatsdarling #boxerlife #boxernation #aboutthatlife https://www.instagram.com/p/B98BtEVD19B/?igshid=pdyv9ie35efl

I hear music in my head all the time. It comes in handy when I need to practice something and don’t have access to a piano. Sounds a little psychotic, I know, but it’s true. Been that way my whole life. But sometimes, it’s just plain funny. I woke up in Atlantic City this morning with @jamesbarbournow singing “Oh What a Beautiful Morning” in my head. I only know the first four lines, so it’s kinda been on loop. But what a beautiful voice, even if he’s a gazillion miles away. Thanks James. Ya put a smile on my face without even tryin’ this mornin’ ... Now, where is that bell hop? #myboybill #oklahoma #phantomoftheopera #bigshot #michaeldelguidice #chuckburgi #chicksdigscarpulla #tommybyrnes #happybirthdaychuck #doesthemusicinyourheadevergettooloud #yes #beautifulview (at Resorts Casino Hotel) https://www.instagram.com/p/BmlUjamgeQV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=r2jk608v1btq

A little late, crazy couple of weeks of #holidayshows , parties and traveling. But certainly the highlight for me of this #holiday season was the honor of performing at James Barbour’s Holiday Benefit Concert at the world renowned #Birdland Jazz Club in #Manhattan with the #Phantom himself, along with Olivia Swearington, Sam Stein and Cassie Blanchette, with the brilliant Rachel Kaufman accompanying them all. Talented peeps! Such a pleasure, and great causes, too; the Hoag Foundation for Cancer Research, and O.U.R., a unique and powerful group that prevents human trafficking. Truly amazing people. Thanks again for the invite James. Heartwarming and a blast at the same time. What could be better? Happy Holiday, y’all! I already got my Christmas present! It was this show! @jamesbarbournow @jamesbarbourintfangroup @birdlandjazz @cassieblanchettesoprano @lilswear @stein1194 #jamesbarbour #jamesbarbournow #phantomoftheopera #phandom #jbifg #wadepreston #birdlandjazz #birdlandjazzclub #yamaha #piano #solo #solowade #soloconcert #myboybill #christmassong #hulahoop #santaclauseisbackintown #sugarpunk #nutrocker #oholynight #buckshotparfait #jinglebells #themostwonderfultimeoftheyear (at Birdland Jazz Club)

Tomorrow, Dec 10, 2017, 6pm. I will have the honor of joining B’way star James Barbour, presently doing Phantom on B’way, for his annual Christmas show at the legendary jazz venue Birdland in Manhattan @birdlandjazz www.birdlandjazz.com.I will play and sing three pieces (on their beautiful Bösendorfer) and accompany James on his “audience interactive” version of The Twelve Days of Christmas. James will end the show with his rendition of O Holy Night, no doubt will be heartbreakingly beautiful knowing THAT voice. Thanks for inviting me James.
