Dear Mother's Helpers,
MOTHERLODE is out and in full swing! We have been getting radio play at non-commercial stations around the U.S! Thanks to each and everyone of you who have been supportive and bought a copy of the new cd...Make sure and check the radio listing in this newsletter...if you can, please call in and support the new songs! We will be working commercial radio very soon, and will send those station ID's out as soon as we start. Believe it or not, your phone calls make a HUGE difference on what program directors decide to play...so don't be shy!
A mama black bear and her cubs, leaping salmon, free-flying wild bald eagles, a sea otter and two banana slugs...A full moon and crisp night air, surrounded by huge trees and the call of the wild...These are some of the memories my family and I will carry from our great trip to Ketchikan, Alaska where I had a wonderful set of shows. I performed at the local library for children, and one at a theater for families.
I'd also like to thank Linda and John Severt for opening their home and hosting a house concert in Seattle! You can read more about all of this on my blog, http://www.zenlala.com...
Which, by the way, will be part of a worldwide blogathon on July 29th! Check out http://www.blogathon.org for more information, and visit my friend's site, DEVIN PIKE, http://swamplog.typepad.com.
The charity I've chosen is The Invisible Children Project, which is helping the children of Uganda escape the Lord's Resistance Army, a group of wandering thugs who kidnap and torture young children.
