HOWDY!!!

GREAT NEWS!
i was asked to sing the national anthem at an upcoming ducks hockey game in anaheim! the ducks are playing the detroit red wings on february 3, 2010 at 7:00pm. it’ll be airing on two channels and yes, i’ll get more info as we get closer and let you know which ones!

what makes this a great game {besides getting to sing at it!!!} is both teams are stanley cup winners. the ducks won in the 2006-07 season and the red wings won the following year in ‘08…and they have also won in 2002, 1998, 1997…yep. they’re good. so i know it’s going to be a great game! {besides getting to sing at it!!!}

my first single, IF I SAID HOWDY TO YOU, continues to get airplay and radio support. it’s so exciting and slowly but surely, it’s getting out there more and more. on new year’s eve about 11:45pm, i received an email from a station in the netherlands! they were adding HOWDY to their play-list. too cool.

thanks to all who have bought HOWDY on iTunes and for those who haven’t…now’s a good time to invest $1.98! you can buy HOWDY … AND NOW also available is A COUNTRY KIND OF CHRISTMAS! so, it’s a lil late for the holiday season but you’ll be ready for Christmas ‘10! if you do purchase either/both, please take a moment if you can and write a few nice words to comment.

happy new year!
