Radio Play Update
Hi! I was supposed to be on “The Louie Free Show” this afternoon but unfortunately the show today was canceled. I’d like to apologize to all my fans around the world who were looking forward to this and perhaps planning their day around it—just kidding! Anyway, Louie’s been playing “Blue Lights” quite a bit, even calling it “an instant Christmas classic.” He’s gotten a good response to it from his listeners in Ohio, and now a café/store there called the Flaming Ice Cube is selling my CD. So if you get a chance, tune in to the show any weekday between 3 and 7 ET to hear “Blue Lights” (and perhaps soon other songs from the CD) on the radio, or listen to recent shows in the archives, and I’ll let you know when Louie’s interview with me has been rescheduled. And by the way, tell me if you notice a trend of only blue lights on Christmas trees…
