Let me hear from you in the comments!

Christmas Waltz
"Christmas Waltz" words and music Jule Styne and Sammy Cahn was written for Frank Sinatra.

Joseph, Oh Joseph
Click image to visit Music Page and listen. Merry Christmas! My old friend asked if I had any Christmas songs, and I told her about this one and sent it to her as a secret. She loved it and asked if she could share. I prayed about it, and came up with a cover art and plan to make it available. "Joseph Oh Joseph" was written back in 2013 with Randy Brooks, the same gentleman who wrote "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer." It’s up now on my Songlife Music Page and Home Page

Appalachia Kid LP Celebrates 4th Anniversary
Happy Anniversary to Appalachia Kid LP that was released 4 years ago today on October 29, 2021. First of all, THANK YOU to everyone that preordered the album when it was first announced. That helps so much for an artist to gauge demand, and can offset the cost of making new music - both pressing up vinyl records and CDs , but also recording costs like paying your musicians, engineers, studio and songwriter royalties.
