Happy Holidays - December 26, 2007

Hi Everyone,

I'd llike to wish you happy holidays! I hope you have a wonderful and safe holiday. Songbird is going well, and if all goes according to planned, it should be out sometime in January!. I'd like to announce a new collaboration with one of my friends from England. His name is Jack Scrimshaw. He is a DJ on the internet radio station www.107thephoenix.com. Besides that, Jack is also a musician, he plays guitar, mandolin and bass. I have had the pleasure of collaborating with him on my song Miracle. Jack's mandolin playing can be heard throughout this ballad. I hope you enjoy it. I hope to post another update soon with the progress of Songbird. Have a wonderful day!
