-Soon to be redone, again...

-Editing recordings, kinda like I had been doing before... -Well, You know...
I now know this:
I've been planning the completion of a CD called "Some Things I've Said" for QUITE some tyme now, and I regret the "seemingly-slow" progress that's been made on it, thus far...
(Gimme a BREAK!!! -I've been a DISABLED individual for the past TWO YEARS+...!!!!!!)
However, I've recovered some, and I decided that WITHIN THIS NEXT YEAR, I PLAN to FINISH a better-polished recording of "Some Things I've Said" with an also polished plan for it.
(-Morningberryz... -Yours is "on the house", of course. -I WILL ship it to you upon it's completion!!!)
WHEN COMPLETED, I will offer you all a hard CD of these recordings for $15, WHICH INCLUDES our sales tax and S&H with ALL PROCEEDS EQUALLY DIVIDED three ways: With The American Red Cross , The TAX Peoples now running our country and the financing of this songwriting club of mine.
-HELP US DO SOME GOOD FOR OUR AMERICAN NEIGHBORHOODS!!!
I ALWAYS post full-song-samples of what you can expect to hear on a finished CD here.
DON'T be afraid to listen to ANY OF THEM!!! You SHOULD ALWAYS preview possible purchses before you buy!!!
-I DO....
-But WHEN You buy from me, ALSO KNOW that you HAVE done something good for your neighborhood as well !!!
My wish?
My wish is that Adam would hands-down WIN American Idol, then compose lyrics for my song "Envision" (-Which is dedicated to hospital ICU staff members, the American Red Cross, etc.) AND/Or "Fixin' TO Rain Again", Record these songs, (-whichever) and do us all some kind of good.
-I also wish that you will enjoy a few of my CURRENT recordings toward the project.
-These are NOT "done" recordings, but merely"current" recordings.
(-I plan to re-record a few things, of course)
Please enjoy what it IS that I'm TRying to do here!!!!
-It'll all be better soon, I'm sure...
Welcome to my page!!!

As most all of my VOX friends know, I periodically post some of my songs to make it easier for my newer friends and visitors to find them. -I have over 200 songs in my archives here, so finding mine could sometimes be a chore.
So, without further ado, please enjoy my songs, or re-enjoy them!

Sunday... February 8th, 2009...
CNNs' Headline News reported on a woman from Louisiana who visited a place called "The Crater Of Diamonds" in Arkansas and found a RARE diamond-in-the-rough that she had made into a nice diamond ring.
Rhonda Bankston, from Louisiana found this rare diamond, had it appraised and then made a beautiful ring out of it.
(-I am SURE that you are wondering why am I writing about this...)
I am writing about this because she went on to name it "Dream Angel", which happens to be the name of I song I wrote in 2002 for my "Domestic Violins" cassette/CD.
I only have a half-way decent copy of "Dream Angel" which was redone as a live "bonus track" for my "Senseless Crimes" CD in 2006.
-There is only one guitar and one drummer on this live-yet-no-audience recording, but it is on the list of songs I wish to remake for my future release.
-I hope you enjoy it!
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanna-Montana-ca, Kool Kwanzaa, and on down the line.
(-Too many holidays to mention here at this second, without losing the POINT of this particular holiday post...)
TO EVERYONE, AND TO EVERYTHING!!!
THANK SOMEone, and ANYONE that we are still alive, fed-sheltered-well AND warm this cold holiday season!
(-FROsty cold even...)
-However, I offer unto EVERYONE this holiday season the opportunity to try to enjoy a few pieces of my music and musiks (-which occasionally involve other musicians) FOR FREE!!! (-Or, I SHOULD say, at MY expense because that's what I do...)
;-)
-But, I'm afraid that it's all I can offer to everyone at this poor, yet blessed moment of my current life.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS to EVERYONE!!!
-And, to ALL one GREAT night that we can try to enjoy forever!
This one is for the GOOD ICU Nurses and staff I worked with.
