Almost Fifty Christmas CD's Sold

Well, I feel very blessed. Sales of my Christmas CD have gone real well. They're not going to knock Michael Jackson's Thriller album of of the charts for record sales, but they did better than I thought. I initially had thirty made up and those sold within the first two weeks, so I made another twenty. Out of the second run, I have five more left.

If you missed the chance at getting one or would like another, they're still available for purchase online at www.michiganprairiemusic.blogspot.com. The cost is $10.00 per CD, S/H $4.00 and you can pay through PayPal. First come, first serve, so please contact me first before you pay - I want to make sure that you get one. If the response is promising, I may do a third run after the first of the year; otherwise, it will just be these five.

I hope those of you that purchased the CD are enjoying listening to the holiday music. God bless and have a great New Year.

- Jim

Christmas CD done and selling

It's been a long time coming...I finally put together a Christmas CD of solo piano arrangements that I've created. It's now available for purchase online at via Paypal. The cost is $10.00 per CD, with S/H $4.00. As it stands, I've sold fifteen at this season's first Jazz Disciple's concert.

Since my family is on a single income, I try not to use any of our monthly income to repair the Model T. The money from the CD sales will go to rebuild the engine - I hope by spring - just in time for Kaitlyn and I to resume our weekly trips to the park. For us, riding in the Model T has become part of our family's recreation. We'd take a quick drive to Starbucks or down to Fred Meyer; however, the greatest joy was taking Kaitlyn to the park in it every weekend. If it wasn't raining, we'd go for a drive. Both of us had a great time and it was a way that I could share the joy of antique cars with her. Even at age two, she got excited to ride in the "Mol T," as she called it.
If you interested in what's on the CD, below is the track listing. I hope to get sound clips up and running soon.

Have a great December!
