January 2006
Welcome New Year! Ahh...what will 2006 have in store for us all...
First I would like to start this entry by thanking all of you for the amazing memories of this past year. It is because of you that we are able to play the amazing places we do...it is because of you that our songs are welcomed with such loving embraces...it is because of you that on January 7th we made the Billboard charts for Adult Contempoorary stations here in the USA with Christmas Eve... and it is because of you that our adventure goes on... Thank you for an amazing year 2005! And now onto the next journey...

There are already a lot of things happening for the New Year! I just completed an interview that will be out in the Sunday supplement of the New York Times, Long Island edition on January 29th. Also, look for my interview in the local north shore Long Island paper The Port Times Herald.

On January 27th at 11:10 am I am pleased to report that I will be interviewed on Debbie Nigro's radio show on 540 am. This interview will also be replayed on Saturday morning!

We are so excited to also let you know that on January 30th we will be featured on WLIW which is a PBS station, beginning at 8pm. We will also be in the studio doing a live interview and pledge drive at this time so when you tune in, please help to support public television. Their programs are enlightening, entertaining and educational...a channel with substance...

Our DVD Castles and Dreams will be released in Japan on January 25th! In Japan, Ritchie has gotten the cover of Guitar Magazine for February as well as Sound Designer (February issue) and Burrn (February issue)! magazine as well. I am going to be featured on the cover of February's issue of Cat Diary showing my beautiful boys, Hopscotch and Romper. It will be the first time that a human has made the cover of this magazine, its usually cats and cats only, so I am so happy to be a part of this new breaking ground! And in such good company...

On a more personal note, Ritchie and I have been taking owl prowls in the woods at midnight... We seem to have gotten very friendly with one of the locals...here is a moment of our discussion with the wise one for you to see... Some native American tribes believe that the owl is the guardian spirit for the medicine man...We are just fascinated by these incredible creatures of the dark...

There is upcoming news of tour dates as well as the release date of the new album on the horizon... Bonus tracks for different territories...extra footage being added for you... its all in there and coming soon! And be on the lookout for Ritchie's upcoming Fingerstyle Magazine interview and our interview in Renaissance Magazine also!

But for now, your January Between Us questions await as do new additions to the Dreamers page... so keep dreaming and believing and when the cold January winds blow...withstand the icy fingers for spring will be here soon and each season has an intense beauty of its own...Enjoy them all and every moment within...

Love and light,
Candice
