Hello wonderful people on my mailing list!
First of all, happy holidays. Thank goodness it's time for a collective break, eh? It's nice when the world slows down for just a minute of two.

And yes, as you can see from the subject of this email, I made it to the front page "feature" section of You Tube. Not as "beth thornley" but as a member (and a tear is coming to my eye as I say this because I'm so proud), as a member of the Bowen Beer Bottle Band. You can see it on You Tube before it's moved from the front page (it's up for only a few more hours). Or, if you want to see it AND get the scoop on how it all happened - check it out here --http://bowenbeerbottleband.wordpress.com/ (I pop up in the back row, 4th from the left.)

Thanks Matt and Summer Bowen, for putting it all together. It was so much fun. (btw - for those of you who see the Beth Thornley band play live, Matt is the violinist/guitarist/keyboardist/glockenspiel-ist that plays in my band.)

I have some album news for you. I sent everything off to be duplicated/replicated/printed, etc..... about 5 days ago. That means that in about 2 weeks I'll have CDs for you. I will send out an email in January letting you know where you can hear it and how you can buy it. I'm very excited about the album and I hope you will be, too.

The CD release show will be in Los Angeles at Hotel Cafe on Feb. 6, 2010. I'm also planning a west coast tour in March.

And in recent news, "You're Right Where" (from the My Glass Eye album) was heard in the television series "The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty". It is airing currently.

Thanks for reading this far. Thanks so much for your interest. Stay warm. Drink some hot apple cidar. And mostly, peace to you all.
Beth
