Hi, Everyone!
Short and sweet:
Lanman CDs for $5 each until 1/30/10!
Send me the titles, how many you want, and how you'd like me to sign them.
Even
if your Little One is, like mine, not so little anymore ... this is a
great chance to stock up on gifts for the new niece, nephew, or
grandchild. Perfect for a co-worker's baby shower, a neighbor's 6th
birthday ... there's always a good reason to give good music!
My New Year's gift to you:
Only $5 each ... while they last!
For the 4 - 10 year olds, there's Meltdown, I Like Being Me!, and Turn Up the Music!
  
For the newborns there's Melodie singing Dream With Me Tonight and Gene crooning DWMT, A Father's Lullabies. Super-sweet and guaranteed to send them off to dreamland!
  Go to Sandman Records, take a free listen to song samples, then email me (SandmanRecords@aol.com) with your choices. I'll bill ya later! (This limited offer does NOT work through my web store. Contact me directly.)

Sandman Records Merch
There are some fans who are just special. You bought my CDs early on. You continue to give them as gifts. You review my new
CDs in newsletters & blogs. You send emails of congratulations
& encouragement. Naturally, I'm looking for new ways
to take your money.
No, no, no!!! That's not what I meant! "To create new products for your shrewd investment" ... THAT'S what I meant!
So ... have you checked out Zazzle.com? Cool ways to make T-shirts, mugs, calendars, etc. with your own images & designs.
I'm in the process of adding custom merchandise to the "Sandman Records Gifts" store. Turn Up the Music! T-shirts. I Like Being Me! hot chocolate mugs. There are even a couple of Lanman art surprises in there.
Check 'em out at: Zazzle.com.
Let me know if you have any requests!

In the fall I began teaching songwriting at Montecito
Union School in Santa Barbara, CA. There was a state-wide earthquake drill,
and the students wrote
"Drop, Take Cover, & Hold On!" We recorded it in a local studio (Sea Music), and the kids even got local airplay!

Origami-Man
When we're not making music
at our house, we're making origami. Our son, Alec, is a
major folding dude. We
recently went to the Pacific
Coast Origami Conference
in San Francisco.
Gotta know when to fold 'em!Origami Pix
