Hello everybody! This is Burke Roney wishing you a great holiday season! I asked if I could leave a message for the update this week as there is just no way I can keep up with all the emails and still have time to eat enough chocolate and goodies during this special time of the year! Christmas songs are taking over the radio waves this month and that puts "Let it all come down" on hold really until the new year, but that's the way it should be! I love Christmas music just as much as the rest of you. With your help, we will see what we can do in January on the charts. Thank you so much for the kind emails of support and for the great questions about the music. When the web people have time, they will add a section where I can leave messages more regularly and perhaps answer questions for all to see. I can see that I definitely need to put the story down behind "Hey Lori" (Track 2) as I get a lot inquiries about it -- and yes "Lori" is my cousin who passed away. I want to thank many on the "America" fans chat site for the unsolicited support and kind reviews. (www.kingbiscuit.com/america/index.htm) America -- the group, was a major influence for me and I have literally worn out cassettes of their music! I hope to get the bio updated to show them there. I'm not sure how they got left off. Take time for your families, smile to strangers, and never give up! I wish you the best Christmas and greetings of the season! -- Burke
