Hi everyone!

Wow, it is December! I love this time of year! I will be hanging stockings this weekend. Lucy, Willy, Rosie, Emma, and, Henry check their stockings every morning hoping that Santa has come the night before. Ever since they were puppies Christmas has been special to them. Obviously, we can not put out their presents until Christmas morning, the stockings are tempting enough, but Christmas morning the tennis balls are flying and the treats are being eaten as quickly as possible. Remember, you can hear my Christmas CD, "It Must Be Christmas Time", all month on www.soundsofchristmas.com while you are decorating, baking, and all that stuff :) Also, look to your right... there's a box that says "Merry Christmas from me to you". This is my Christmas gift to all of you. There are two free downloads. Enjoy!

BREAKING NEWS: 'Butterfly Tattoo,' the first single off my new album - Bring It On - is climbing the charts and continues to be one of the fastest independent country 'movers' in the nation!!!! This week we are #8 on the Main Country Chart, #5 on the Country Indie Chart, and, #5 on the Roots Chart! We are so excited about this! Thank you so much for calling your radio stations and requesting 'Butterfly Tattoo.' You guys are doing all the work and I am so honored. Please keep it up. Oh, and while you're at it, don't forget the Internet stations that are there for those towns that, because of corporate politics, are not allowed to play independent artists. Of course, if you are inclined, you can still call and bug them. I remember a long time ago seeing a bumper sticker that read "Subvert the dominant paradigm!" WHAT????? I had no idea what they were talking about. Now, after howing this row for as long as I have, I totally get it. Hey, you never can tell. If 'the voice' is loud enough, maybe we can make things change!!! One way or the other, LETS HAVE FUN TRYING!!!! :)

The one thing that I know for sure is that you guys are the best! I thank you, I love you, and can't wait to see you again somewhere out there. Spread the love and joy in your hearts as far as it will go. Have a wonderful Christmas!

Love,
Sarah

"Over the last couple of years, Austin's Sarah Pierce turned her sixth and seventh studio releases loose on the world. Individually, they are disparate and at times mesmerizing in tremendously unique fashion. Taken together, as with the repeated listens which led to this review, Cowboy's Daughter and Bring It On paint a picture of an artist possessed of a breadth of talent which bears watching and is more than worth your hard-earned dollars' listen."

J Micheal and Cathy Laferty's PadreRitaVille

Like the rest of my wonderful sponsors, Cathy and J Micheal Laferty are, first and foremost, wonderful people. Cathy is a bright and lovely woman who just happens to be an amazing entrepreneur as well. Micheal, a wonderful singer/songwriter...he is currently working on his latest album with Merel, in our studio in Austin, and what I have heard so far is simply great...is Cathy's partner in business as in life! Having recently celebrated their 34th anniversary, they bring this solidarity to all that they do.

With years of award winning culinary experience working for others, they finally decided to create their own, unique, restaurant on beautiful South Padre Island. One year ago, PadreRitaVille was born. It is now the number one eatery on the island with a wonderful staff and great food and drink - their menu is amazing, their buffet needs to be seen to be believed, and with a full service bar, you will never be left wanting. As well, you are offered fabulous nightly entertainment, all set in the warm and friendly atmosphere that is South Padre Island.

PadreRitaVille makes your trip to South Padre complete. The community spirit of this little place is truly heartwarming. Needless to say, I think the world of Cathy and Micheal. Whether performing or just hanging out, for me, PadreRitaVille is a relaxing, friendly, quality, island experience. One that I visit as often as possible. You are crazy if you do not check them out. You can learn more by going to www.padreritaville.com or calling 956-761-RITA. No matter where you live, PadreRitaVille needs to be on your destination list marked 'DO THIS NOW!!
