Solomon Keal's Music Newsletter, December 2006

Hello everybody!

Welcome to the December edition of my music newsletter.

My latest album, "Peace of Heaven," featuring my own peaceful solo
piano compositions is now available to buy!
You can purchase the album from SolomonKeal.com, CDBaby.com, or from
FountainPublishing.com. It is available from most places for
$15.00.

Subscribers to this newsletter can purchase CDs for $11.00 a piece
when buying 3 or more CDs directly from me! Subscribers also get
free shipping! Send an email to solomon@solomonkeal.com to take
advantage of these deals.

My albums will be for sale at the Kempton Craft Sale, on Saturday
December 9th, at 9:30 AM, in the Kempton New Church Society Room,
Kempton PA.

I had fun performing at my first Whisperings Concert, in
Mechanicsburg PA on December 1st. I was the first artist on the
playlist, and pretty nervous, so I unfortunately screwed up the first
piece, which was "Angels We Have Heard on High." But the rest of the
concert turned out alright. And it was a lot of fun to get to know
some other Whisperings artists.

Some of the projects I will start working on next year include:

1. Making sheet music available.

2. A flute and piano album with my sister Roxanne.

3. An album of love songs with my wife Tirah.

4. A blues/jazz piano album.

I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!

Louis Landon Italian New Age article

I posted in this blog a few months ago about my interview and article
in an Italian New Age magazine. The magazine was bundled with a CD
sampler that included "Peaceful" from my CD, "unwind". At the time,
there was no place to buy or see the article. But now it is up on my
website. So please come by and check it out. You might also enjoy
looking at some new photos that have been posted.

Peace, and all the best,
