The First Ever Tell-a-Friend-a-Thon

Hey you guys,

My friend Jill is so smart and so dear and such an earnest supporter of this music I make.
She's a genius in the ways she's been sharing the tunes with folks here and in other places where she's lived. One of my favorites is how she uses some of the songs for the cool down session at her aerobics classes.

It happens all the time that someone tells me at a show that they were sent by a friend. A lot of you guys have bought a handful of CDs to share with friends. Thank you, more than I can say, for helping to spread the word.

So, in speaking with Jill this idea has come to be.
First of all, with the help of the bigBEE, we're making it super easy to send people to the site. All you've got to do is fill out the form attached to the links on the pages of my site.
As a matter of fact, here's one such link:

And, as a little bonus, for anyone who sends to friends who actually sign up at the site, a small gift:

Sign up

5 friends : honey sweets

10 friends: the new CD, Get It Right

15 friends : a T shirt & CD

20 friends : a ticket to an upcoming show at Baldwin Station

You Heard It Here - Edition 1

Here it is, Ladies and Gentlemen,

The first installment of my article in conjunction with the newsletter, Now Hear This. .
I also drop by here from time to time to fill y'all in on goings on.

This is a great chance to share new tunes and introduce you to some of the incredible music and musicians I'm encountering along the way.

So, without further ado, this tune is called: The Moon, A Planet & A Star

If the embedded song below is taking a while, you can listen here.

The Moon, A Planet and a Star

Written by: LEA

The moon, a planet and a star in the midnight sky, well, they're not so far. 70 some years ago. Was it a night like tonight? Guess we'll never know. The light has journeyed for a while just to land on you and to make you smile. On the night I'm dreaming of, it could have been us just discovering love. If you take a photograph, looking back, well we'll have to laugh. We are near and yet so far form the moon, a planet and a star. I wish I may, I wish I might reach into the darkness and grab a light. I would keep it tucked away just to shine for a while on your rainy day. But I have to let it go. It's the law, everybody knows. We are near and yet so far to the moon, the planets and the stars. We are so like the moon, the planets and the stars. I should explain. This song was born on the road. Very literally. I was driving in the midnight hours to make it to a show in Alberta, VA the next morning. As I always do, I was listening to NPR and happened to catch the StarDate information that they gave. The astronomer announced that souls lucky enough to be awake so late would get an eyeful of a cosmic triangle: the moon, the star Regulus and the planet Saturn. Naturally, I looked and got an eyeful of cloud. About 10 minutes before arriving at the hotel, the sky parted and there they were. It was as though they wanted me to see and of course, I was instantly inspired. Perhaps what moved me the most was the knowledge that the light I was seeing was sent my way some 77 years ago. Quite a journey just make me smile for a few moments. To download this song to your computer and share with friends , click this link & retrieve from Audio page.
