Our Australia Petula Adventure, Part 2
Our three‑week trip to Australia was certainly the longest of our ” Petula Adventures”, and one we likely would never have undertaken without the added incentive of seeing Petula perform. It wasn’t that Australia didn’t interest us; it was simply that the long flight felt daunting, especially as we got older. But how glad we…

Inspiration from a Legend
Petula Clark loves to perform, and she’s described her connection with her audience as a “communion.” After seeing her live over seventy times since 1967, from Toronto to New York, to Melbourne, Australia, to Paris, London and beyond, I can attest that she is absolutely correct. Her interaction with the audience truly transcends. When my…

Something Different: Petula in Branson with Andy Williams
Often times people fear retirement –it can feel like an end –an end of work and thus an end to meaningful contributions to the world at large. I suppose in a sense that is true –but it is also a time of opportunity and freedom. So meaningfulness and contributions do not have to stop :ask…

A November Adventure: Petula in Paris
November has never been my favorite month. Where I live, the weather turns colder, and as I write this, we’re experiencing an early snowfall—something many find delightful.

The Anticipation or Reality: Which is Better?
As Far As a Petula Clark Tour is Concerned-it’s the reality! Petula Clark is about to release her autobiography, Is That You, Petula? tomorrow; in some parts of the world it may already be on bookstore shelves as I write this. It has gotten me thinking about whether the anticipation actually is ever totally fulfilled…

Enchantment : the UK and Petula concerts
The first time I travelled to London was actually not to see Petula; it was August 1987 and I was visiting my brother who was working there for a summer. But it surely paved the way for my continued enchantment with the city and all of the UK. On that trip I went to the…

Petula and The Big Apple
“ If I can make it there, I can make it anywhere!–”. It was actually Frank Sinatra, not Petula Clark, who popularized this tribute to New York. Petula had already “made it” in New York decades before Sinatra had a hit with the song.. The catalyst for her success there and all across North America…
