Hello Friends,

Many of you may recall the charity album I produced last Christmas with many of my music pals, whom all donated their talents and time, to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Well... finally received all monies collected from various music retailers, etc and was able to get all the donation money over to these fine folks. 100% of the proceeds from the sale of this Christmas album went to this wonderful charity that grants wishes to children with life threatening medical conditions. After all production costs were paid, a total of $2500.00, plus 77 CD's to offer for further donation monies, was given on behalf of myself and all the artists whom participated.

The Foundation was very excited about this and was so grateful and appreciative. The director over at the M-A-W here in Vegas informed me of a tragic situation currently going on with a family whom recently lost their baby girl to Cancer, their other little daughter also has Cancer, and the mother to these girls is now battling breast cancer, as well. Such a situation makes our giving all that much more rewarding and hopefully beneficial in some little way. Special thanks again to all that participated and supported this project.
I've just returned from two weeks spent in my Southern homeland and had a great time. Special thanks to all the folks that went above and beyond to ensure a good time. This years RockabillyFest shows in Jackson TN. were the best I've ever had the pleasure to be a part of, and the time away from Vegasland proved very relaxing and renewing. Look for more about all of this, along with photos, right here, in the next online news brief- be sure to check back here very soon!

There is so much brewing in this musical pot of mine right now,
looking forward to sharing it all with you next time...

Until then, Thanks as always for your support!

Much Love, Cole
