This episode is a quick recap of just a few things that happened today and a little earlier in the week. It was a head-spinning day, so here’s what I talked about:
Comments from the Podcast Gallery
Fellow show host Lynn from Lynn in the PM has some nice things to say in the show
I renewed my call for all you Podcast Gallery members to be on the lookout for the digital downloads of my Christmas music, since there’s no notification of when my music is available. You can do that by leaving your comments here, calling in to the show live or calling the Podcast Gallery voicemail line at 206.350.8955.
And one last thing, yes, it’s early, but I played Deck the Halls for you too. I hope you enjoy it.

Well, it’s that time to be thinking about getting the Christmas CD out there for public consumption and I needed a new home for it. imagine my surprise when looking at CD Baby again and finding that they’re really into digital distribution. Maybe I didn’t look closely enough or maybe they’re doing more than they used to, but it’s there and the full range of offerings is the topic of this episode.
Topics included:
Comments From The Podcast Gallery
instead of comments, this is an assignment for you, the Podcast Gallery. Since the digital partners don’t notify CD Baby when they have released my music, I’m asking the Podcast Gallery to let me know if they see my music on a download site. Write me here or call me on the Podcast Gallery voicemail line at 206.350.8955.
And while you’re checking out iTunes for my music, go ahead and subscribe to the show and leave a review.

While it seems early, especially for me to start talking about Christmas, it’s a necessity from a singer’s point of view. The Holidays are traditionally the biggest time of the performance year and now comes the scheduling rush. But also, there’s a bit more promotion going on recently and here’s how some of what 4-AM does is being marketed now. With more music and video which has been recently recorded as part of getting the word out.
4-AM in ‘A White Christmas Holiday Revue’ on:
Merry Maskers on:
Plus, a little bit of talk about the 1 year anniversary of With A Voice Like This coming up and talk of a new release of the Christmas EP With A Voice Like This Christmas. Now is the time to talk if you want to work during the holidays.
Comments From the Podcast Gallery
This show we heard from Andrea from the Geek Is Chic podcast and Matt from The Plug Show.
