AND THE MUSIC ROLLS ON ...

Leon has been in the studio most of the holidays. We can hardly wait to see what he has been up to. Rumor has it there are several surprises for 2003. Let's go visit with Leon for a little insight!

FROM LEON ...

I LOVE THIS LIFE! What a wonderful year 2002 was because of you. Since making the decision to dedicate my time and talents to music on a full time basis, please allow me this opportunity to say with the first issue of "Smoke Signal" ..... Thank You, for your time and coming to my shows, thank you for the encouragement over the years, thank you for your support by taking my music home with you! It is my deepest desire that you enjoy it. ~ Most of all thank you for the priceless friendships. In 1975, after an awakening experience at Carolina Beach, NC ... I walked along the Atlantic looking out upon its vastness. While trying to make meaning of the evening's events, I found peace with one simple wish ... "To play and share music with folks that I would invite to my home or be honored to be invited to theirs. Each and every one of you is an answer to that simple wish and prayer from that evening. ~ Proverbs 11:25-26"

What is to come? My focus has been on getting music to you live and recorded. My reflections from a "single smile" or observing a "foot patting" during a show are the ingredients that inspire the placement of every note as the music finds its destiny. The long awaited Classics and Classics Plus (please note the buy one get one free of Classics Plus CD) will be shipped by Jan. 31, 2003. The 2003 Christmas album is added to the 2002 Winter list ready for immediate shipping.

Videos? There will be an upcoming video. Everyone that checked video on the sign up forms will be notified. Jackets, hats and possibly T-shirts will again be added as the 2003 plans materialize.
