Im in reverse: email first, blog second. Does it matter? Who knows? Below is what i just sent out. Now I gotta catch that plane!

Dear Friends,

Your correspondence is most welcome! Some of you may receive more than one notice of this release. Please know that its because I love you so much that I put you on more than one list! I will never share your email with anyone, except myself. (BTW, I have been reminded by a friend that CDs make great emergency ice scrapers, so be sure to order an extra for the car!)

For those in the NY, NY area, and for those visiting there, come to the concert!
Thiago de Mello & Amazon, featuring Ithamara Koorax on WED Dec 10:
UN celebration of the anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
Event begins at 7:30 Concert begins at 8:30 CUNY 5th Ave at 34th St, NYC.

I will be in NY rehearsing and recording with Thiago for about a week. Meanwhile, for reasons I will explain, it is a special time. Many of you knew Judy, more know of her. My partner, musical and otherwise, for 16 yrs, she was a great singer and songwriter, a little lady with a really big voice. Some may remember a cassette we sold off the bandstand in the mid 80s. Its been a long time coming, and a happy day is here:

The Judy Roderick & the Forbears WHEN IM GONE with special guest Mac Rebennack album is at the press!!! You can tuck away those old cassettes (if they havent worn out already!) and get ready to hear those great songs re-mastered for CD, plus Judy's great solo version of "Floods of South Dakota". The official release date is...

How did you guess? DEC 14th!!

That is the day I get busy with crates of CDs, lots of mailers and tape! Im inviting you to pre-order, so yours will be mailed on the first day! I will do my best to get them to you by Christmas!!! You can place your order several ways - whatever is comfortable and convenient for you:

This one has a slightly expanded line-up, with world-renouned guitarist Romero Lumambo as well as bassist Leonardo Cioglia and drummer Helio Schiavo. Im featured on 12 of the 14 songs, all beautiful Thiago de Mello compositions - its great!
