GOOD MORNING!
It is too snowy here! Minnesota just got another blanket of snow, and while it is gorgeous to look at, I HATE IT!!!!
I am looking for a "room mate for my New York apartment still. I think I might have a Columbia student who would like to be my roomie. She says she will be at school all the time since she is working on her Doctorate in Chemestry. My goodness!!!!!
Have a great day and pray for Spring!

So busy!
I am decluttering. The big project I have going on is purging my junk!!!!
It is exhausting to simplify. Perhaps I would be much more relaxing if I continue to surround myself with too much junk as I have become quite adept at ignoring it all.

ShopNBC Shoot
Another busy day as a host on ShopNBC! As we prepare for the upcoming holidays, the hosts have lots of shoots. Today we shot the AllStar Promo which is going to be so cute. All the hosts are involved and even my puppy, Halle, participated.
Next week we shoot the Christmas Card and a Pamela McCoy shoot is also scheduled.
I am busy getting ready for my concerts coming up and looking at doing some recording at the first of the year.

Finally an update!!!!
Allow me to catch up all up with the events of the past few months. My hosting agent, Andrea Patrick of Patrick Talent of LA, got me an audition for ShopNBC, the third largest shopping channel in the US. They flew me out to Minneapolis, for a 4 day audition process which included my going on the air for 2 over night segments. They offered me a job within the next few weeks and they wanted me to start right away, but my concert commitments in Florida prevented me from starting until May.
I did 8 outdoor concerts for the Orlando Philharmonic singing at such lovely venues as Craneﾕs Roost Park and Newton Park in Orlando. They all were alongside a lake at sunset. It was a wonderful experience for all!
This Spring I also shot an infomerical for Salton's Complete Health Center by Juiceman, co-hosting with tennis legend, Martina Navratilova. She was great to with and the whole team at Convergence Productions was first rate.
Somehow or other, I managed to fit a birthday in there somewhere on a very special day, 04/04/04. I celebrated with friends in Orlando and then flew to Venice, Italy for a quick three days.
May 17, 2004 was my start date at ShopNBC. I am now in training, learning indepth all about jewelry, fitness, jewelry, home, jewelry and more jewelryﾉ.you get the picture. If you know me and how much I love jewelry, you know I am in heaven. I should be on the air in July and I hope you tune inﾉ..and buy, buy, buy!
Since I don't know anyone in Minneapolis, I am fortunate that my dear friend, Jan Neuberger, is in town doing Pirates of Penzance at the Guthrie along with my friend, Brian Sutherland. It is great to spend time with old friends.
I will be traveling to Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England for my concert there July 24. If youﾕre nearby stop by Whirlow Hall Farm for a picnic at 4pm and the concert at 7pm.
Thanks for checking in. Let me know your thoughts on my website. Many thanks to the website genius, Hisayo Kushida for all her hard work! We are eventually going to have music and video clips and lots of photos.
Have a great summer!
Love,
Connie

I just got back from a wonderful, rewarding week in England and I am busy preparing for my next concert coming up in Leeds, England on Oct 26, 2003 (ticket info to follow).
This past week was very special for me as it was the third annual Aleisha Ord Memorial Concert, which I have co-produced and in which I have co-starred with English Tenor John Foley and Musical Director Joan Taylor of Morley College, London.
May 2001 was a tragic time for all who knew and loved little Aleisha. On the eve of her fourth birthday, a bus ran her down as it traveled through her village of Murton in the Northeast of England. How does one cope with such tragedy? Aleisha’s parents, Michelle and John Ord, are good friends of John and myself and we felt absolutely helpless in trying to comfort these devastated parents, in addition to dealing with our own grief. John and I decided to pull together a concert in Aleisha’s honor. Proceeds raised from the performance would go to building a playground (or as they are called in England, a play park) in her memory at her nursery school. The majority of organizing of the event was done by the Glebe Center in Murton and Colin Longstaff, another dear friend.
One year later, we held the 2nd Annual Memorial Concert. T hat same weekend we cut the ribbon to the Aleisha Ord Memorial Play Park, watching all of Aleisha’s school mates pouring onto the grounds with squeals of glee and they played in the park bearing her name. That year the concert raised money to buy equipment to allow disabled children play there, also.
Keeping Aleisha’s memory alive, we just completed our third concert, which raised money for Grace House, a hospice for terminally ill children in the Northeast of England. The concert was a success both financially and artistically. It is wonderful to see so much good coming out of such a horrific tragedy.
I will be shooting a commercial this Friday for a Tooth Whitening Product. I’ll be playing a sort of newscaster in the ad.
This Sunday, I will be doing a reading of a new play by brilliant playwright, Bob Mahnken. Patriarch, directed by Scott H.Schneider with a great cast that includes David DeBeck, Sylvia Roldan Dohi, Denise Lute, Brian Maillard, Rachel Stern, Nic Tyler and Tony Garcia will be performed on Monday, October 13, 2003 at the John Houseman Theatre at 450 W. 42nd St. between 9th and 10th Ave at 7pm. All are invited to this free reading. For reservations call: 212 802-9754
October 15th, I close on my very first home. I bought a lovely apartment in New York City with a fabulous view. Actually, the apartment WILL be lovely in a few months, once I gut the place. Donations for the Connie Kunkle Restoration Project will be kindly accepted! Just kidding….sort of.
I leave on October 19 for England once again. JOLLY GOOD, I SAY! I will be heading back to do the Northern Remembrance Concert with the Band of the Royal Marines and the incomparable SingLive Leeds choir, which will be 150 members strong! What an exciting, and emotional concert this will be as we remember soldiers who have fallen all around the world. I launched what is called the Poppy Appeal last year. I am honored to be asked back again, and even look forward to next year. Yes, the British Royal Legion has invited me to guest star in the Remembrance Day Concert next year, which is to be televised by the BBC!
I am very excited about the talks that are going on to have me present a concert with the Band of the Royal Marines on THE ARC ROYAL, the flagship of the British Fleet. Plans are tentative, but if you are in London next March and you happen to be near Greenwich, England…look for the really big boat and the American girl in sparkly gowns running around the deck!
November 4th I am scheduled to shoot another installment of Greater Homes Show for the ABC affiliate in Orlando, WFTV. I am looking forward to working with my handsome and talented co-host Tom Wainman (spokesman for Hair Club for Men) and the wonderful crew headed by Jim Salvage and Tony Smothers. Orlando folks can also catch me on WMFE as I host one afternoon of pitches for Public Radio and later on December 2, I will be pitching live on WMFE-TV with guest, Zorba Pastor.
Thanksgiving will find me with family in Alabama, and then on to Orlando to enjoy showing off this side of the pond to my British friends from SingLive Leeds who will be the first international choir to perform at the Disney Candlelight Service. They will also be experiencing their very first Thanksgiving. I am thrilled! I am particularly looking forward to my personal tour called the CONNIE KUNKLE TOUR OF ORLANDO….WHAT THE TOURIST DOESN’T SEE IN ORLANDO. It should be great fun, but I can’t get too worn out showing them around, as we all head back to England on the 7th to get ready for our SING CHRISTMAS SPECTACULAR with the National Festival Orchestra and 300 wonderful voices. What a great time we had last year and this year should be better still!

Hello everyone and thanks for checking in!
I am off to Orlando on the 22nd to spend a week. I was to shoot a segment for Greater Homes, but they decided to reschedule it for November. My producer, Jim Savidge, has asked me to do a different shoot while I am in town. I'll let you know what it is, as soon as I do!
I am busy preparing for my concert in England on October 4, in Murton, County Durham. I am costarring with John Foley and we are raising doing a concert to raise money for the new children's hospice called Grace House in New Castle. This is our 3rd annual fundraiser and I am looking forward to seeing the lovely people of Murton, have a ham and egg pie from Bucknels, and sinking a pint at the Village Inn.
I have two other concerts in England coming up in the next 3 months which I will tell you details in the next few days.
