Yes, I got to spend 7 weeks my daughter and we had a blast. Sadly, she's back with her Mom in Wyoming now and it will be another 7 months before I see her again, at Spring Break. Thank you for asking! Good luck with your career and may all the good things life come your way!

One more question for ya. By any chance would you be interested in hosting an Indie on the Move banner on your myspace page or website to help us promote?
Celeste, I'm enjoying your music right now on my player. You sound awesome! If I ever come to Texas we'll have to play a few tunes together. All the best, Leah
Hi there
Nice to hear from you again. I am so excited about the review. People deserve to know about your amazing album. It is one of the best I have heard in ages. I am excited about it and I hope others will soon be to. I am ok here. Keep in touch.
Hi there
Good news!!!! The new issue of Maverick magazine came today in the post and there inside is my review of your album. I didn't know they were printing the review so I was well excited. I hope you are as well. I love your music and think you have an amazing talent. Maybe others will feel the same way as well if they read my review and then go onto purchase a copy of the CD. I hope you are well.
Hello there,
