Day 74 – Some Belated Thanks

Since my EP release podcast, I’ve found out that two more podcasts had played my music previously, and I wanted to make sure to let everyone know who had played my music and thank the podcasters in the public forum. I’m preparing a complete list for a future blog entry, but I also listed each as soon as I found out about them. So here are two

Podcasts that played my music:

Virtual Yooper – Dec 23, Christmas in the Keweenaw – The Wassail Song
flick-a-brac – Dec 15, EPISODE 018 – Happy Hollandaise! – We Three Kings

Thank you to all who supported me by playing my music this past holiday season.

Episode 032 – Day 41 – A Special Update

This episode is a very special episode of With A Voice Like This. Since I’ll be away all day performing the White Christmas Holiday Revue in Joliet, IL, I’ve decided to make this entire update episode the 6 completed songs for the CD. I hope you enjoy them.

This Podcast is recorded in mono and at a much lower bit rate than the final recordings of the songs played here. If you want to hear them in the highest quality stereo available, you can purchase them at BuyMusicDirect.com, or if you’re a Podcaster, you can register and download them for use on your podcast free at the Podsafe Music Network. Those are the only two available places to get these songs in the highest quality available.
