WISHING YOU & YOUR LOVED ONES PEACE, LOVE & JOYFUL MUSIC THIS HOLIDAY SEASON :)
WOW! What a rollercoaster ride of a year 2017 has been! Thank you, thank you all my wonderful banjo, dulcimer, guitar, singing friends & family in Florida, NC, Alabama, & Montana for hosting me for workshops & concerts & jams & recordings & all kinds of musical adventures and fun. This banjo life journey has been so much fun and filled with love & good camaraderie lately--that I'm not really sure I have a solid destination--its just wonderful meeting happy and joyful folks who want to hear and play good music .
And thank you so much to all the folks who supported me this year ordering my new CD & Tab book--GOOD MORNING BANJO :)
Thanks for the good reviews and thanks to NPR's Thistle & Shamrock Radio for playing it this summer and all the other radio stations that have been playing it & Pandora & Spotify too. And a special thanks to my fiddle friend, Tim Gardner, who recorded it in his studio and stepped forward & really brought my recorded music up to a new listening level. :)
If you do not yet have this CD & tab book & would like to order them for yourself or for a holiday gift for a banjo or dulcimer friend--if you order both from me on my website--I will send you a hard copy of "Girl With the Banjo Tattoo" CD as your free gift for the holidays!
Do not press the order button for Girl With the Banjo Tattoo--I will include it automatically when I see the 2 item order
PLEASE READ THIS IF YOU HAVE BEEN ONE OF MY LONG TERM CUSTOMERS !!!
Good Morning Banjo is my 10th CD & I really want to record a new CD this next summer of 2018. I have a brand new Goldtone ML-1 baritone banjo & I can't wait for you to hear its unique and wonderful voice.
But--I live in a small house and I need to find homes for my hard copy cds to make room for the new ones.
I've thought it over carefully & I've decided not to re-print hard copy CDs that have sold out. All my cds are available digitally & I will continue to offer the print tab books as long as folks order them.
