Spring Greetings,

It's been way too long since I updated this letter. So, since there's new news to write about, here goes!

We've been reorganizing at Raging River Records.  Time for some spring cleaning!  I have a new office, new computer, and lots of new songs!!!! Been writing adult songs and children's songs.  I've had an idea perculating for the past year about doing a "theme" CD around the fairy world for children.   Well, it's coming together quickly, I can't catch the songs fast enough!  So plans are to complete the writing by end of April and go into studio in May, pending studio availability!  

Some of these songs are traditional tunes with new lyrics.  Some are original lyrics and tunes.  It's lots of fun and I've been trying them out for my daughter's kindergarten class and local pre-school and they're a hit with the kids!!!  So stay tuned for a release date, hopefully mid-late summer!

In the coming year, some of my previously recorded songs will be re-released with a few new songs on a Sampler for radio.  Fans will also be able to purchase these CDs at my shows.  We plan to market targeted songs to the movie industry and possibly Nashville.  So, any of you folks have contacts in these markets?  Let us know!

A LIVE CD is also in the works.  This will take some time as I listen to recorded shows over the past few years. It's quite an undertaking.  But it will happen.

All of my recordings are almost out of print.  I'll need to press some of the older releases soon. You can order directly from me here at this website or go to AMAZON.COM and order there.  I appreciate the support I receive from mail orders.  Keep them coming!

I've been blessed with a beautiful home, a supportive partner , a healthy child and an enthusiastic new marketing person to help me get my music out in the world more.  So there's lots to be thankful for, despite the horrible things I read about in the paper everyday.

Keep the hope, there's a new election soon.  Get out and VOTE!!!!!

Love,
Maria
