Greetings Followers, I’m pretty sure this is the first e-newsletters that I’ve sent via N1M. I apologize for not writing sooner. I haven’t always been good at this part of the job. As a New Years resolution, I’m aiming to get better at that. It has been a crazy month and early 2020 for me as far. On the sad front, the mom of my best friend passed away on Feb 1. She was like a second mom to me, and she will be surely missed. Nonetheless, her many lessons and stories will live on in my memories. On the happy front, one of the things I loved most about my friend’s mom was how she did what she did with such great love, and gladness. And, Springtime is near! So, a few things: 1. Thank you so much, all of you, who have decided to follow me, and for listening to my music. I am so truly grateful for the support. 2. A week from today I will be heading to Florida for the APCA conference down in Orlando. I will be performing, and hopefully, presenting an educational session on a musical pilgrimage that I embarked on 10 years ago. 3. While on that journey, I was touring my album “Olympic Champion”, and playing a song called, Clear. A recent remake of the song will be released on March 11. Be on the lookout! 4. If you’d like to help me get to Florida, and would like early access to “Clear”, please support me through Patreon.com/BenBailieEmokid. There are different levels and rewards that come with each amount. $3 or more will get complimentary downloads of Clear plus at least one more. That’s all for now. It’s a raining, overcast day here in NJ/PA, but it’s not without it’s perks. I’ve got a job, great music to listen to, and love in my heart. Thanks for reading, and we’ll talk soon! Ben Bailie
