Thankful this Christmas

As I sit and reflect on this Christmas morning, I feel so thankful for all of the musical support I've received from so many of you through the years! Thanks so much for coming out to my shows, for purchasing and vendoring my music, etc. I am hopeful that 2009 will provide us with many more opportunities at which to sing, dance, laugh and just have FUN! Best wishes to you and yours in the New Year! Hope to see you soon!!!

Lots of fun had at the West Branch School!

Special thanks to everyone for coming out on Saturday to sing, dance and just have fun at the West Branch School. We sang songs to help us be on our best behavior for Santa, we danced, we laughed and just had a blast. Special thanks goes out to mini Tasha the Tool Girl (a.k.a. Lily!) for all of her help! Just a reminder!.....don't forget to get your tickets to: the Magic Tree House show at the Community Arts Center (Williamsport, PA) on Feb. 13 '09. Tasha the Tool Girl and I will be performing prior to the show upstairs in the Patron's Lounge. Our show time goes from 6:20 - 6:50 p.m. We will also have another quick show over intermission! Oh........and don't forget to wear your TOOL BELT!!!!!
For now.............HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!........hope to see more of you in the New Year!!!

Been away a long time! So sorry.....busy, busy, busy! I'm looking forward to my show this Saturday Dec. 13th at the West Branch School in Newberry, PA.

Rock'in on the dock in Canada!!

Hey All!
Lots has happened since I last checked in! My gig in Catawissa was excellent....thanks to Zeter and Kirstin the Tool Girls who filled in for Tasha! We packed the stage with kids (some little - some big!) and just had a blast! Last week I was on vacation in one of my favorite places in the world.......Canada! I had a week of some wonderful relaxation and family fun! One of the highlights was the concert that Tasha the Tool Girl and Miss Allie performed on the dock one sunny afternoon down by the lake. What a "rock the dock" hoot! Our Canadian and American friends gathered for the event! We sang, laughed, cried and just shared some special moments which I will NEVER forget! So....I guess you can say that it's official.......DOWN AT THE TOOL SHED has gone INTERNATIONAL!!! Special thanks goes out to my Canadian fans way up north (Hi Brett!) who are spreading the Tool Shed word far and wide!!!! News continues to get around down here in the States as well. So.....another big thanks to all of you out there who are staying in the game to support the cause!! Drop me a note if you can!..........Allie :)

Still hopping!

Long time no write! Sorry I've been away soooooooooo long! I'm still hopping though.....I've made a few BIG BRAVE HOPS lately regarding the TOOL SHED DVD. Not sure where they will lead me but it's been exciting! I've had lots of performances since I last wrote. (Check out Allie at the CLC at Penn College (left) giving Frank the Frog a "brave" pep talk during our show!!) I'm gearing up for another show on Friday August 1st, at Gustonian Gifts on 3rd Street in Williamsport! The fun will start at 6:00 and go until 8:00 p.m. Tasha the Tool Girl just might make it to sign some tool belts, or hard hats or whatever you want signed! So kids.....tell you parents that you want to come out and see the show! It should be lots of fun. I'm also playing a family show in Catawissa, PA Tuesday Aug. 5th at 6:00. Again, try to come out and join me!!!! Check below for where you can purchase the DVD, Educator's Guide & tool belt!! You'd best get HOPP'IN so you don't miss out!! Hope to see you soon!!!

Blogg'in away and creating a buzz!!!!

Special thanks to all of you who are helping to support the DVD buzz! We are excited as the word on the street (i.e "the buzz!") continues to increase! Also, thanks for stopping by to check out my new website/blog! Don't forget to leave me a message so that I know you've stopped. I hope you aren't having trouble??? If so......email me at : aweiler@uplink.net and let me know what isn't working and I'll try to fix it! Otherwise, give me some feedback on what looks good, what doesn't and any other info you might want me to post!....etc. I'm trying to think of everything but MAN!...........this is all VERY TIME CONSUMING! It's cutting into ......precious time.......which takes me away from songwriting and practicing!.............anyway.........that's my problem!..........keep on blogg'in!!!
Allie :)

Busy.....singing and making music!!

Well......I'm filling my days this summer with lots of musical adventures. Today I visited Penn College's Children's Learning Center! The kids and I had blast gathering the tips, tools and tunes we need to SUCCEED!!! (check out the press release to the right !) We sang about everything from being good listeners to learning to be brave like FROGS - It was great fun! Tomorrow I'm off to Lewisburg to entertain the children at the Sunflower Daycare. One of the lucky students there will win a copy of my new Tool Shed DVD along w/ one MEGA-COOL tie-dyed tool belt! - (I spent the afternoon watching tool belts come to life today.........full of magnificent tie-dye colors!!!!!) Anyway....stay tuned to this blog as we are going to keep filling it full of information about Allie's schedule of upcoming performances and lots of other fun things!

Wow!!........

It's been a whirlwind since my first DVD entitled DOWN AT THE TOOL SHED (copyright 2008) came out this April! As a matter-0-fact, I literally crawled into a hole once all 1060 copies arrived on my doorstep! I was flat-out pooped!!! So many months of decision-making and deadlines.....UGH!..... WOW!!!!!!!!!!!................you just can't imagine. At some point I will highlight the "whirlwind" in more detail - for anyone who really cares to read about it. To me, truly, it's been like "catching one BIG dream"............o.k., I know it might seem Corny....I mean, this is kids stuff but........it was lights, camera action........FOR REAL! So.....kid's stuff or not, it was hard work! It's been so cool to actually see the pieces of this project all come together! To hold a dream in my hand (the DVD) and actually watch it on TV!!! There were so many key players involved in helping me pull this one off! Everyone from family and friends to Penn College of Technology's staff & students to wonderful community supporters........ .....another WOW and another BIG THANKS to everyone out there who helped me!!!!!!!!!!!! Hopefully you too will eventually understand why I'm so proud of the finished product - DOWN AT THE TOOL SHED - my first children's DVD!!! WA-HOO!!!.......we finally did it!!!!

6/23/08 -Took another "brave hop" today (used some of Tasha the Tool Girl & Freadie the Frog's advice!) and met with someone very important to public TV! Hm.............not letting the cat out of the bag yet.....but I'll just say this...........I'm going to continue hopping until someone out there helps me reach a larger audience! Yes.......the TV audience! Watch out Wiggles......here comes Miss Allie and Tasha the Tool Girl! More later!!!
