Virgin Voyages To Require Vaccinations From Guests and Crew
Many cruise lines, resorts, and destinations will require all travelers to have been vaccinated for COVID-19. If you are an entertainer, be sure to get vaccinated as soon as possible so you will be prepared to accept future gigs that will require you to have been vaccinated. The vaccine protects you from contracting COVID-19, keeps you from being hospitalized from COVID-19, and should you unlikely contract COVID-19, it will virtually eliminate your spreading the disease to others. Protect yourself, and protect others.....get vaccinated ASAP.

Cruise CEOs Call for Return to Service in United States
The cruise industry will return safer and stronger than ever before; you can count on it! Sailing will have a phased and measured return, and projections are looking towards this November, although that could easily change. A worst case scenario is a return in the Fall of 2021, but a much sooner return to sailing is expected. More details will be posted as we have it, so check back often and refer this FCE company page for your friends, family, and associates to "Like" so they can be informed as well.

This fusion between all those amazing artists, part of the bests in their own disciplines and completely polyvalent, creates a unique show where amazing performances, exciting rhythms, energy and poetry are joining together with a great sense of comedy and humor. This is fast, fun, strong, astonishing and sexy, just pure pleasure.

Hi Howard. Hope you and yours are doing well during this crazy time. It was good to see you and your family a while back, although I wish it were for different reasons. May your wonderful dad rest in peace. I'm struggling now with my 90 yr old dad being sick.
I just wanted to share with you my brand new music video. I don't usually do such slow, low key type ballads during my live shows as I try to keep it all upbeat and engaging, but I do enjoy performing these type of songs during any off time I may have. Take care!
