To all of the friends of Desi’s Music Extravaganza 2020,
It is with heavy heart that I contact you today. After deep consideration, I have decided to postpone our 2020 Palm Springs event. Believe me, no one feels worse than I about the situation. All of you are my musical family and I was so looking forward to seeing every one of you. Unfortunately, now we must wait a bit.
The reasoning behind postponing the Music Extravaganza is based on extreme concern for your welfare. Although planes, hotels, etc. are doing their best to sanitize areas where people congregate…even from six feet away…the danger of contracting the virus still exists. My hope was that we could avoid being infected just by being cautious and aware of our surroundings while at the same time enjoying activities. I now know this idea is impossible to achieve despite our vigilance.
After collecting data from various sources, it has become apparent to me we will be fighting this battle to survive for a while. The last thing I want is to have one of you become sick while away from home, or worse. I would never forgive myself if this were to occur. But there is some good news….
We are NOT cancelling the festival, we ARE postponing it to a later date. I’m hopeful those of you who already have purchased airfares will be able to receive a credit or refund directly from the airlines. And I do apologize for the inconvenience of all this, but I feel at this point it’s the right thing to do.
So let’s put our anticipation and excitement on hold for as long as it takes. Keep practicing those “Friends” songs…..you WILL get a chance to perform, I promise. Most importantly, please stay safe as our world slowly starts returning to the norm. God bless all of you and please stay in touch with me during these next months. So sorry we need to adjust our beautiful plan but our safety does come first.
Thanks so much for understanding. Your friend,
Desi
