The winner of the Traditional American Music CD is . . . .

The First of Six . . . Congrats to you!!!

I want to sincerely thank Dan for very generously giving one of his cds away. Thank you for the beautiful American music you have compiled. Keep up the great work!!

Music Giveaway!!!

This week I'm excited to introduce you to some American-made MUSIC!!! You can listen here.

This CD contains traditional American and patriotic music arranged as lullabies. Dan felt it was important to bring these songs to a new audience by approaching the songs in a very different direction. Rather than the stately grandeur of the Star Spangled Banner we are accustomed to hearing, his version is delicately subdued yet beautifully orchestrated with traditional stringed instruments. The CD includes such songs such as Battle Hymn of the Republic, Rally Around the Flag Boys and many others all in beautiful lullaby form.

Direct quote from Dan: "I believe knowing the songs of our past will help remind us of the unique qualities of our country and hopefully remind us there are more things we have in common with each other rather than divide us. It is so special for me to see my children enjoy listening to the music I have written, every night. I feel that the nature and the presentation of these songs make them perfect for children's bedtimes as well as adult relaxation. (And with the current state of things, we could all use a little relaxation.)"
To enter this giveaway:
- Go visit Dan's site (here it is on Amazon, CD Baby, and Itunes)
- Come back here to leave a comment listing your favorite song!
- Must have U.S. shipping address
