Dear Friend,
Welcome to the December Newsletter!
Happy Belated Thanksgiving to you and yours! This time of year has always been my favorite, because there is so much to be thankful for. Just so much! This year I took some time to stop and really think about it. I came up with this: 
The 5 Things I Am Most Thankful For.
 
I only have three things to tell you in this particular newsletter :)
 
FREE MUSIC - LIVE AT THE PITTSBURGH WINERY
Two weeks ago, my bandmates and I did an incredibly fun show at Pittsburgh Winery. The whole evening was captured and I really wanted to share a few songs with you from the live recording!! The songs (some more than others) feature Jason Rafalak (upright bass), Ryan Socrates (drums, percussion, melodica), Joe Sheehan (keyboard), PJ Roduta (congas), Anqwenique Wingfield (backing vocals), and myself (keyboard, ukulele, vocals).  We didn’t mix, master, or do anything to this. Its pretty bootleg. But who cares! Download, share, and enjoy! Merry early Christmas to you!
p.s. this is may be a forshadowing of future live album  :)

 

GIVE A LITTLE JOY!  
Ok people. This is your chance. CDs are re-ordered, T-shirts are now available in in all sizes, and every item at the store is under $9...including T-shirts!  Discounted bundles are also available. Just use code JOYTOTHEWORLD at checkout to take advantage of the additional 40% discount. If you would like to gift some music to your relatives, snag a shirt in a size that was previously unavailable, or have me gift-wrap something and send it directly to a friend, Im happy to do that.  And maybe you’ll get a handful of Christmas candy (or coal) in that pretty little package. Wow, yes! I think iI will actually go to Target and buy a bag of Charcoal!  Just let me know if you’d prefer that :)  *wink*  Visit the Store.
 
 
GIVE LIFE!
Tis the season for giving and there are so many in need. - in your neighborhood, in your families, and all over the world. If you are in a place financially where you can sponsor a child, please seriously consider it! What more can we do to show our thankfulness during this season than to give freely, love unconditionally, and know that our actions can forever change the life of someone on the other side of the world.
