I wonder what they're wearing in KC in April?

[jobeterob]

I think there is another spring date too; does this mean she will tour again this year?

The tours have brought Diana back to the forefront.

Speaking of tour information ... What is the best web site to use when monitoring tour and appearance dates for folks like Diana, Mary, Gladys, etc? Sadly, Diana does not have a comprehensive website. Someone suggested Pollstar once,and It is good, but I am not certain that all appearances are on it.

Ideas, anyone?

Ticketmaster??? Works for me but I think it might eliminate some minor appearances for less popular artists.

Pollstar sucks. It is a good resource for some dates, but is very, very far from complete. I've never seen anyone's complete itinerary on it. That being said, most of the artists I follow are not as big as One Direction and maybe that's a factor. For Miss Ross, Gladys, Martha, Queen Ree, JHud, Mo'nique, Dionne etc - I find Pollstar to be quite incomplete.

For Miss Ross, I use the fan pages. She is rumored to be touring in the summer and, I think, the few April dates are exactly that: a few April dates. I am usually a good source for dates & tickets. I'm well connected in RossNation and usually know who has extra tix etc. Andreas lists the dates as they come available usually right after they go on sale or are announced. If the Reach Out! web page is up by then, it will be a reliable source.

I gather you're starting up REACH OUT! again. Good news. I enjoyed those newsletters from the 90s.

I went looking for Reach Out online last night and just found the songs! I probably have mine stuffed away from years ago!
