One flu over the cuckoo's nest,,,




Hello Everyone,

The recent news of swine flu outbreak emanating from Mexico has prompted a few friends to email me about our condition here in Bucerias, Nayarit. We are doing great and doing our usual routine with extra precaution. The states of Nayarit and Jalisco have no known cases of this flu virus. The Department of Education has suspended all classes until May 6 to keep schoolchildren from being infected (as a precaution). If you are tired of listening to your local Canadian or American news, here is a link to the Bay of Banderas news http://www.banderasnews.com/index.htm. It has different views of this situation. I hope that the WHO will find a vaccine and the flu will stop spreading (as the news say???)

We’ve had a long run at the Adriatico this year. We are still performing but with reduced days to Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7:30 to 10:30 pm. Please call Adriatico at (329) 298-6038 or email at adriatico@adriaticoristorante.com. The food is great, service is attentive and the bar is gorgeous. Don’t forget the band is really good too! I will be heading back to Vancouver towards the end of May. So my last day here at Adriatico would be May 15 (I hope!).

My current band:

Armi Grano-Vocal
Julio Palacio-Keyboard
Javier Nunez/Doug Demeerleer-Bass
Danny Lopez-Drums

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the people who visited, recommended and supported us throughout this season. It has been a difficult year but your encouragement and company has sustained us through. I’d like to extend a big thank you to all the media members in the Vallarta and Vancouver area for supporting and promoting our show. I also would like to thank all the wonderful musicians who played with me this season, Bill Street, Gerry Palken, Richard Gordon, Eduardo Rubio, Julio Palacio, Doug Demeerleer, Danny Lopez, Javier Nunez and Georgina Enriquez. Muchas Gracias, Hasta Luego!

Saludos,

Armi Grano
