Well, kinda. This was actually recorded in 2013 but becomes available (to us in the states) as a digital download via Amazon on July 16 (expected). It's a sweet song, sweetly sung by the sweet and beautiful Swedish singer Heidi Hallifax. "Will You Be There For Christmas?" Well...will you? Just asking. Heidi's got a Facebook page and a Soundcloud page, also a YouTube channel...but no standard standalone web site. Then again, who needs one, right?
Don't worry, I'm certain we'll have more singles later. I'm pretty sure we'll be getting a few more Snowflake Singles. In fact, I'm so confident, I think I'll add the Snowflake Singles blog to our list of Festive Friends. Poof! Just like that, its done. Most of last year's Snowflake Singles are still available on vinyl, btw, while supplies last.

A few other things to mention as, uh, well, shoot. Isn't anybody doing Christmas in July this year? Oh, that's right. The folks over at Christmas TV History are! They asked people to answer a few questions about their favorite Christmas episodes and specials and they'll be rolling those answers out all month. July 1st featured our good friend Dinsdale Kringle of Santas Working Overtime and, who knows, I might put in an appearance my own self. ;-) Anyway, it's something kind of fun to cool you off on these hot summer nights, so drop on over. Heck, I bet you could still join the fun and contribute your own favorites.
FWIW, we're pretty well up to date on The List, so far. Chances are, I'll be crunched come crunch time and its still too early to have many release dates in hand, but there are some tasty nuggets to drink in in the TBA and Possible lists. We've also got a few items up on the Free List (and many more to come) and a couple on our Previews page. So don't forget to check around and make sure you haven't forgotten something. And lots of people were asking if I could share the portrait of Mrs. Katz (not her real name) that was included in my Kickstarter package for The Bowmans last year. OK, one person asked. Not the point. The Bowmans Christmas album, "Make Sure The Snow Falls", was one of the best Christmas albums of 2013...easily in my top 3 for the year. But I was really and truly blown away by the book, Mert The Anxious Evergreen. It's very well written and tremendously illustrated. Really, I wasn't expecting much from the book, but it ended up being my favorite piece of the package. You can still get the album and book (either or both) direct from The Bowmans and I highly recommend you do so, if you haven't already. Especially that book, which took me back to my own childhood cuz that's how awesome books were put together back then. Also makes a great gift. Just sayin' Anyway, here's Claire Bowman's portrait of my baby girl, Mrs. Katz. It's bigger in real life (and so is Mrs. Katz).
Now I know everybody knows the July 4th weekend is pretty much upon us. But did you know about the big event that happens the following weekend? Your troubles are over, Dude! July 11-13 is the 13th Annual Lebowski Fest, this year taking place in Louisville, Kentucky. Louisville is an awesome town and the music lineup makes me wish I could attend. Those Darlins, The Features, Bobby Bare, Jr. I love those guys (and gals)! I guess I'll just have to settle for throwing the movie into the old DVD player for another year. Feel free to do the same. The Dude abides. Catch you later.
