Wow! Last year brought many honors my way. My 2007 CD release “The Legend Of The Quetzal – Tales & Tunes of Latin America” received a Parents” Choice Silver Honor Award.  The song “River Of Life was nominated for the New Thought Songwriters Tribute Awards and made it to the semifinal round. “From the Mother – Songs Of The Sacred Feminine” was the number two folk album and the number three world album on the 2007 WomensRadio Music Review Awards. And Tres Lunas Trio, a wonderful instrumental group here in Central Texas included my song “Luna Luna” on their new CD release “Of Her Hand”. You can listen to their version at www.treslunastrio.com.

 

But the greatest honor and reward I can receive is the knowledge that I have helped to bring joy and meaning to the lives of others. And I get to do that while doing something I love. I’d like to thank all of you who have ever listened to a song, come to a show, hired me to come and tell stories at your school or library or museum, or bought a CD. You help make it possible for me to share what I love doing.

 

Another purveyor of joy, my friend the multi-talented Marienne Kreitlow has a new CD out called “Beautiful Illusion”. Marienne is one of the most creative people I know and a fabulous songwriter. Check her out at www.marienne.com.

 

I wish you peace, joy and the opportunity to share what you love in the coming year.

 

Best wishes,
