Greetings!!

A brief update from the Berends music camp, a couple of things happening in December.

First up: Bill Berends new solo album "In My Dreams I Can Fly"... discs should be delivered this Friday, Dec. 7th!! Woohoo!! Spending the weekend prepping packages to get out in the mail early next week, with some luck those who have pre-ordered will be getting the CD by the end of next week!! Downloads should also available over the weekend, so watch you email for that information.

For those who haven't ordered yet, the official release date is December 18th, 2012. Once I get all the Kickstarter and PayPal pledges and pre-orders out to my backers, I will set up a page on my web site to start taking regular orders.

Speaking of release dates... December 18th, 2012 is also Bill's birthday! So we're throwing a BIRTHDAY and CD RELEASE Party on 12/18 at John & Peter's in New Hope, PA and would love if those of you in the local area could attend! Since it is a Tuesday, things will start earlier than our usual weekend type gig. Stop by my schedule page for more details, I may send out a brief reminder in a couple weeks with a quick pre-holiday update.
