CHRISTMAS  &  NEW  YEAR`S  GREETINGS - 2011

HO!  HO!  HO!  Fanmily, Friends  & Wellwishers!

First and foremost I`m sincerely hoping that everybody are in good spirits, getting ready to caress our two festive weeks.

Reflecting back on this year, we the people of this universe have experienced a lot of un- settlement that has irrupted the entire globe, one way or the other.  Natural disasters, Uprisings or disturbing WARS!

Many innocent lives have been taken again and again day by day and then we can feel so helpless and indeed wonder when will there be “PEACE” for everybody  here on earth.

Never-the-less, nothing can rock my POSITIVE frame of mind, which has guided me during my entire life thus far. There will be a calm after all of these storms.

Let`s lift up our heads, push our shoulders back and bring in our “New Year” 2012 with inner PEACE and a smile on our faces.

On this note, Marcus and I are wishing you a “MERRY CHRISTMAS” and a happy, healthy and prosperous “New Year”. I`ll be in touch as usual GOD  BLESS  YOU!

ONE LOVE!

 

Marcia.

GOLDEN OCTOBER - 2011

 

Hello Fanmily & Friends,

 

Golden October greetings to everybody. Allow me to express, how very special and loved I feel in receiving my birthday greetings from you all day on the 14th. Lots of telephone calls as well as private E-Mails and postings in both my guestbooks and Facebook site. W O W!!!

 

I am indeed honoured and will enjoy the reminiscence of my beautiful day. Being in "CLOUD NINE" is extreamly rewarding. Thank you most sincerely.

 

I know that most of you are wondering when my upcoming CD will be published and if at all finished with the recordings. YES! YES! the latter is reality. It was completed a couple of months ago.

 

Sharing with you the facts that since my "Boney M" days, I`ve not approached record labels with my "Solo Work" but decided to do so now at this stage of my career. On the other hand, this route is taking more time than the DOWNLOAD route. I`m in the process of that and is aiming for it to be published before the festive season begins.

 

You`ll be getting fifteen tracks, also with Marcus introducing his vocal skills on a few of our calaboration as writing partners over the years. This is a very diverse CD and we had fun in the making.

 

Let`s join hands in prayers that another dream of mine will come through, like all my lifetime dreams and goals. You are going to enjoy so SIT TIGHT!!!

 

ONE LOVE!

Marcia.

GREETINGS FANMILY / WELL- WISHERS!

 

Let me hope that everybody are keeping well, embracing 2011 with POSITIVE expectancies. On the other hand also having enough energy to brace yourself if any negativity tries to distract your flow. I thought I`d take a little time out from my Hustle and Bustle schedule, again to say hello and to give you an update of my activities since my Christmas Note. I enjoy doing this when time permits, are you READY? Lend me an ear or both is even better. (smile).

 

December and January my crew and I continued to present our shows in San Francisco, Ukraine and Jodhpur. In February, Marcus and I concentrated on new recordings as I had already conveyed to you. Some new pics are to be seen which were taken during those travels.

 

I must share with you my meeting with Bonnie for the first time after so many years, which was a delightful experience. You will see a snap shot of us both when she and her husband came to see my show in San Francisco on the 3rd of December. Many of you would know who Bonnie is because she has been a die heart Fan of "Boney M" since she was a little girl in her homeland ROMANIA and still is. We had a lovely two days of which I`ll treasure. Thank you Bonnie for your visit!

 

After that trip, we had another show in Ukraine which was also well received and was only too glad that we got back home safely and could prepare for the festive days soon ahead.

 

SARROW CREPT IN, when I received a phone call from an aquaintance of Boney M for years, telling me that Bobby had passed the very morning on the 30th of December 2010. I couldn`t and still cannot digest the facts that he is no longer with us but only in spirit and in loving memories of him. I`m so happy that I could have attended his funeral, where I joined Maizie and Liz for a farewell speech at his funeral ceremony. I`m sure that you have seen some photos from the press of that very SAD day in January but I`ve also posted a couple of shots with us three ladies, which was a special moment indeed. To me hugging my former colleagues felt as if we had just come off stage after our performance together years ago.

 

How STRANGE! that reporters inclination was that Liz and I drove in seperate limos. OH! those DIRT LOVERS!!! In fact, we had ONE limo that seated 15 people and Maizie Liz and I were three of those passengers. Bobby was well loved and will be grately missed by our FANS globally. He has made a dent in the MUSIC INDUSTRY with his elastic legs and of course his entertaining charisma that we all admired. May his SOUL REST IN PEACE!!!

 

My show in Jodhpur a week later was inflicted with MIXED EMOTIONS but had another

great show, with GOD`s guidance and protection.

 

In February our planned FAN meeting in Berlin was really a treat for me. I had a warm encounter with everybody, who took their own private time and indeed made the effort on their own expenses to come to Berlin for our meeting. I must say that I feel very special in having met each and every one of you. Thank you for an unforgettable evening. I would also love to thank Valentin and Danni Lange who prepared and organized the event so superbly. APPLAUSE! APPLAUSE! for both of you. With the same breath I must say a BIG thank you to Daniel Diezi my team mate for years, who have always been dedicated in seeing to it that all my graphic presentations are always 100% presentable. Marcus and I will always welcome Daniel`s input in deciding which tracks on any of my releases should be published and also in what order they should flow on the piece of work for EXCITING listening. Choosing my photos is also crucial as to which one out of the hundreds will portray the track or tracks to the full. THANK YOU Daniel for your input over the years. BRAVO!!!

 

At this point dear fans, the conclusion of my note I must express how BLESSED I am to have my husband Marcus in studio with another special and gifted musician Thomas Körber, enhancing the music from their SOULS in the productions that we have produced together thus far, including my current single entitled "Far Away From Lonely" that we gave you a sneak preview of in Berlin last month at our FAN MEETING. Hope you are enjoying it already after only the first day of release. HA! HA! the video will be finished soon so keep on checking. OK? Don`t worry, my new CD is almost finished, only to be mixed and other little preparations to be taking care of. In other words studio work including all vocals is already behind us. I detect a smile here. Let me assure you of some nice treats. Ta! Ta! just for now until sooooooon!

                                                         

 

ONE LOVE!!!
