I love the Christmas season. Everything is covered in white snow,
streets are adorned with festive decorations and everywhere you look
are tiny sparkling lights that make this world we live seem a little
bit nicer than it usual is.

It's this time of year that I thank God for all the blessings He has
given me throughout the year and I ask for His guidance in the upcoming
year. I am most grateful for the wonderful family and friends I have as
well as the talents He has bestowed upon me.

I would also like to thank you, my fans, for your continued support for
throughout the year. Though performing music doesn't pay very well
right now, I keep going out there because of the joyous reactions on
your faces and the excitement that you've shown. That in itself is
priceless.

To spread the Holiday spirit, I'd like to invite you to a performance
by the RIT Polished Brass Quintet @ Marketplace Mall on December 20th
from 5-6pm. This concert is free and part of the 2003 Holiday Concert
Series.

For those whom I might not get to see before Christmas, I would like to
wish you all a happy and healthy holiday season as well as a very
prosperous new year!

God Bless!
