Hi Everyone, Our feet are firmly planted in the middle of October and the leaves are turning color on the fruitless peach tree in the back yard. I have my first gig in years coming up this Saturday at the Overflowing Cup at the Calvary Chapel Bible College in Murrieta, CA. and I'm soooo looking forward to it. I've begun contacting churches in So Cal and have hopes of doing a bunch of dates in '08. I'll set my shoulder to the wheel and let the Lord do the work. It's up to Him. I also had a conversation a couple of weeks ago with Noel in the UK and we determined that we could put 10 to 15 dates together over a 3 week period in the spring so we're in the talking stages of putting that together. If you have any leads, please let me know. 'Christ Crucified' got and is still getting considerable airplay in the UK, Europe and beyond and I'll be releasing another single on the NCM disc in February and plan on 2 more releases after that in '08. Stay tuned as the scenario continues to unfold. Blessings to all . . . .

'Christ Crucified' is included in the August NCM Release. The NCM compilation disc is sent out to 450+ Radio Stations and Journalists in the UK, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Paul Davis is committed to Christian Music and has put together a very reasonably priced program in which each recipient of the disc is required to comment on every track. Looking for feedback on your music? Why not get it from the Industry? For more information go here: http://www.ncmradioshow.com. Nicole C. Mullen and Steven Curtis Chapman are also on the August release so an Independent Artist is in good company on this disc. I'm very excited to see what God has in mind. While you're here, give it a listen. I would greatly appreciate your comments. Thanks so much . . . Blessings to all, Vini

Well . . . In my internet travels, I came came across Paul Davis who reviewed the CD. It also turns out that he does a compilation disc that mails out to 450+ Christian Industry Publications, Record Companies, Radio Stations, etc. throughout Europe and the World. So . . . I'm releasing a single on His disc in August. 'Christ Crucified' is going out into the world. I also have contacted Paul Poulton who is not only a great artist but also has a management team in the UK. He may be interested in helping me set up a UK/European tour for spring '08. If you are a prayer warrior, would you be so kind to mention these things to our Great God. I'll keep you posted . . . Blessings, Vini

Also want to thank Shane Werlinger for his kind review of 'Kingdom of Conscience'. I spoke with him on the phone and he's a really nice guy who loves the Lord and is really into doing the reviews. Go to the press page and follow the link to contact him if you are looking for a review of your project . . . . Thanks, Shane

Check out the press page for a review from Paul Davis of New Christian Music in the UK. It's extremely well-written . . . yuk, yuk

Well, It was a toss-up but finally decided to go with hostbaby for the website. When I can afford a flash site, I'll head in that direction. Whatever serves God's purpose is ok with me. Hope it is acceptable to you . . . . Stay tuned . . .
