One resolution I have made, and try always to keep, is this:

To rise above the little things.

~John Burroughs

I guess I'm not that ambitious, but it suits me well...

Happy New Year, Michael!!

I’ve been a music journalist for more than 10 years. Over the years, many artists and managers have asked me what the best way to break into the European music market is.

Here are some things you can do:



Publish artist press releases, news, and tour dates to the CountryHome Forum on MySpace, http://groups.myspace.com/CountryHomeMagazine , CountryHome Forum is part of CountryHome, http://www.CountryHome.de , Germany's Premier Country Music Online Magazine. Everything you publish to the CountryHome Forum will be published in my weekly Newsletter which has over 80,000 readers.



Publish artist interviews in English to http://groups.myspace.com/CountryHomeMagazineInterviewsEnglish , interviews in French to http://groups.myspace.com/InterviewsAvecCountryMusicStars and interviews in German to http://groups.myspace.com/CountryMusikInterviews . All these groups on MySpace are part of CountryHome, http://www.CountryHome.de , Germany's Premier Country Music Online Magazine.



Send me CDs and DVDs for review and set up an artist interview with me. All reviews and interviews will be submitted to the magazines I'm writing for. More information for which magazines I'm writing can be found at http://www.MySpace.com/ChristianLamitschka



Upload artist videos to http://www.MyVideo.de and http://www.ClipFish.de . Both websites are like http://www.YouTube.com and uploading videos is free. The websites are completely in German. If you don’t speak German and need assistance, I will help you open an account and upload a video for 25 Euro. Each additional video upload for the same artist name and at the same video website is 10 Euro.



If you have more questions about the European music market or about any of the information I send to you today, please contact me at Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de too.

Hi Michael,

Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving. I realized it was just a year ago that John showed up on your doorstep without me. That made me laugh of course. How is your sister? I hope she was able to enjoy the holiday.

You're a good man, Michael.   And thank you!

For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food, for love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.

Happy Thanksgiving!

With all my love and gratitude for your friendship,

Hello Michael,
How have you been?  Busy I know, I saw where you were in Japan....how cool! Did you hear about the Femme Fatale reunion show?  It was going to be in late October, but it is being re-scheduled for sometime in February is what I last heard.  That should bring back a lot of old memories and good times.  Thank you for your kind words, that is very sweet of you to say.  Thank you for that!  It's good to hear from you.  Take care Michael...have a great weekend.

If you have only two pennies left in the world, with the first penny, you should buy rice to feed your family. With the second penny, say the wise Japanese, you should buy a lily. The Japanese understand the importance of dreaming..."
Have a dreamy dreamy night.........Stranger......

Well I am sending you an origami butterfly instead of a lilly of which i hope to make in my new origami club with the little one here is the kicker all the instructions are in japanese and even if you just follow the diagrams i am artistically challenged...only artistically no I am just a we won't go there LOL . I hope your fine..and your family is good. Nothing but happiness and dreams your way stranger....xxx

He who binds to himself a joy
Does the winged life destroy;
But he who kisses the joy as it
flies lives in eternity's sunrise.
~William Blake

meadow sunsets Pictures, Images and Photos

I remember a hundred lovely lakes,
and recall the fragrant breath of pine
and fir and cedar and poplar trees.
The trail has strung upon it, as upon
a thread of silk, opalescent dawns
and saffron sunsets.
~Hamlin Garland

Wanted to let you know how much
Your friendship means to me!
Wishing you love & blessings
now and always.
