MY DARLING SUGAR PLUMS...

I REALIZE I HAVE BEEN SO NEGLECTFUL in keeping up this blog the past week.
I'm SO sorry.

I owe you all the final three song posts for Parting Glass, When She Loved Me and From God's Arms.....
I will get to them i promise.
but i also don't want them to be a all ass cheesed because I am so FUCKING busy right now my eyeballs are about to pop.

"Why do busy?" you ask?

Well, firstly- it's December.
And December is the holidays.
And the holidays for any sort of performer are insane.
I literally will not have had a Monday off for 5 weeks until Christmas because 'tis the season' for benefits and end of the year concerts, readings and round-ups etc.

So...
Momma is Bi-ZEEEE.

Secondly, after the CD release party on the 29th- 
there were two more sleepless nights getting everything ready with all T's crossed and all I's dotted for the official CD release on 12/01/09.

And then, well....
there's BILLY ELLIOT rehearsal, and shows, and rehearsal, and GYPSY of the YEAR, and rehearsal....
and CHRISTMAS...
and I'm still sending CDs out with orders through my website (which is AWESOME!)...
and...
it's a lot, my lovely egg nogs.

so...
my head's just been a tad UP my ass the past week or so.
and i am really so very sorry to have neglected you, my blog babies.

but some UPDATES!!!!

we are hoping that it gets on AMAZON.COM very soon...
preferably before the holidays are over.

heads up fellow indie CD makers....
GET YOUR SHIT TO CDBABY TWO WEEKS PRIOR to your release date-
because it takes a couple weeks for them AFTER they put up your CDBABY site to send and get all your stuff approved by CDBABY and AMAZON.

"OLD FRIENDS

Donna Lynne Champlin

This wonderful woman has brought her unique style to numerous Broadway shows in the past decade, but when she broke her ankle in her current job, Billy Elliot, she found herself making her first album on a financial shoestring. The end result is a deeply personal and quite moving assortment of songs that make everything sound brand new in the light of her emotion. "Once Upon a December," lost in the animated featureAnastasia, becomes a bittersweet masterpiece in her hands and that's just one of the many wonders. You can learn more at www.donnalynnechamplin.com"
