Springtime 2014

Hello readers!  It's May the 9th, mid-Spring, and nearly 5 months since I left you with a "Merry Christmas" greeting!  My, how time flies.  The good news is that there is only 5 1/2 months to go until Christmas Music Season :-)

I'm going to try to get a few posts out this Spring and Summer, mainly about new music from indie artists.  I've backed a couple projects on Kickstarter from fab musicians that deserve some good press, so once their new CDs arrive, I'll post out some info about their new work.

One artist, Hannah Spiro, is releasing her 5th CD, "Jewish Love Songs".  As part of my Kickstarter supporter package, I received her four previous CDs, and they are really great, and a new musical experience for me.

Another artist, Kasey Rausch, is a local Kansas City musician, who plays old-timey, folky, bluegrassy type music.  Awesome musician, great singer, great songwriter.  And, I'm working on getting her to play a show at my house this Summer - what a blast!

More on these great artists to come.  Plus whatever else comes to mind.  I have some Christmas-related projects on the drawing board - if they come to fruition then all you readers will be the first to know.  In the meantime - have a great Spring and Summer!
