cool info & news with you!

A friend can help carry us through the storm to calmer waters. A
friend stands by us when everyone else has given up on us. Friends are God’s
gift to us through hard times and good times in life. Got laid off from a job or struggling with
health issues? Having relationship troubles? The one who listens and helps
without question is a true friend.
Sometimes our best friends know more about us than we know about
ourselves. They congratulate us when we have a success or reach a milestone.
They can be an angel when we’re sick, or when we need help or encouragement. We
don't have to worry about what we say or how we say it, we can just be
ourselves around them.
When I write a song, I rely on my family and friends to encourage me (and
critique my songs!) so that I can shape them into something that will bring a
certain honest message to others that they can relate to-and may just help them
through a tough time or make them smile in recognition of having someone out
there who shares their same feelings.
The one who can admire us, critique us, and love us genuinely is a
dear friend. I cherish all my fans and friends including you, my email family. Please
share your news with me so that I can encourage you too! Happy Friendship Day!

NEWS:
My upcoming album, Dream of You (Oct. 2015), is still a
work in progress, but exciting things are happening with the addition of
award-winning and well-known songwriters/producers: Mick Walsh and John Heldt
to the production team.
2 of the 10 songs are almost completed or completed: Dream of You, (the
title song written by me and Kevin De Clue), and Prime of Life, Finalist Winner
in the Folk Song Category of the July 2015 Song of the Year.com Songwriting Contest
(written by DeDe, Joey Leone & Kevin DeClue). We now have 6 songs recorded,
and are working on the remaining 3-4 over the next several weeks.
We are in the process of booking shows and concerts and Radio
interviews/shows over the next few months preparing for the Oct. 2015 release.
We are expecting this album to be the most well-written, one of the best
produced, and the most well-received album to date based on feedback our
production team is already getting...
