Subject: Happy Holidays & Happy New Year!!

Date: December 26th 2025

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanza, and a very Happy New Year 2026.
It's been a challenging year for me, as well as for everybody else but we got through it. Hears hoping next year is the start of something much better. We can do this!
January will see the release of my new vinyl record of gospel classics. Thank you to my producers and very good friends Rafael Alvarez of Baltimore and Larry Hambrecht of Philadelphia!! And thank you to Jim Holton (piano); Mike Boone (acoustic bass); and Ha Heon Jin (guitar) for their stellar accompaniment. There are six songs on the record including Go Down Moses, Ain't Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me 'Round, Leaning On The Everlasting Arms, You Don't Know What The Lord Has Done For Me. There are also two lovely slide instrumentals, Ave Maria, and Where Were You When They Crucified My Lord. The official release will likely be in February but I should have advance copies for sale in a week or two. If interested drop me a line.
