Greetings! It's almost that time. No, I'm not talking about the holidays...it's time for a vacation with music, friends, sun and sea! I am pleased to announce that once again, I have been commissioned to create the commemorative art for the 2009 Smooth Music Cruise. And the best news is that I've been invited to sail with all my favorite jazz artists and fans, friends that gather each year to celebrate the best music around. Haven Entertainment has some great offers if you'd like to join us on the cruise. On previous cruises I have had the time of my life. I've swam with stingrays in the Cayman Islands, para-sailed in Jamaica, visited Mayan ruins and seen beaches I thought only existed in heaven. This cruise I'm going to visit Hemingway's House in Key West. They may have to drag me back to the boat to get me away from all those Hemingway cats! Oh yeah, there's the music! Almost forgot. Not really, how could the performances of artists like Norman Brown, Nick Colionne, Boney James, Mindi Abair, Larry Carlton, Heather Headley, Acoustic Alchemy, Greg Adams, Steve Cole, Marion Meadows, Steve Oliver, Michael Lington, Shilts, Chieli Minucci, Alan Hewitt and Althea René be forgotten or missed? All the information you need is below. I hope to see you on the boat! With warm regards, Bettie Grace Miner  Photo by Randy Galligan

Fine Art Matted Jazz Prints of the featured cruise artists can be ordered in time to take them on the cruise for autographs. The new larger size prints are a standard 11x14 so that you don't have to custom frame. There are still a few 10x10 prints, but when they're gone, they are gone! Just so you know, some 10x10 prints are already sold out but may still be on the website. You'll get an email with an option to change your order if that image is not available in 10x10. Please place your order before January 16, 2009 to receive the prints in time to bring them with you. Prints will NOT be available on the ship. P.S. Even if you're not going on the cruise, you can take advantage of this offer. Hint: The prints make great Bon Voyage or Holiday gifts.
