Every year, 'bout mid August (yeah, I'm that far behind), I check the web site for Jennie Lowe Stearns to see if maybe, possibly, hopefully (oh, pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease) she might be considering recording a seasonal song. I've mentioned before that I'm a very good friend of a very good friend of her's and we all used to jam together (well, I just listened) in my friend's home many, many years ago. Even way back then, Jennie had a marvelous voice and a way with lyrics.
I envision a simple little song, more winter than Christmas, introspective with a unique point of view, recorded informally at home, just Jennie and her guitar. But, no. No Christmas song from Jennie. Not this year. Possibly never ever. Not her style, I guess. *sigh* Jennie, if you ever read this (as I'm sure you never will), please consider doing such a song. An ode to hot chocolate (with marshmallows) or to a chocolate lab in winter snow; doesn't really matter what it's about, it's bound to be special.
A N D...if you ever do such a song, please consider gracing Stubby's with the exclusive free download. ;-D (hey, I gotta try, right?) Seriously, Jennie, the world could use a beautiful song of the season from Jennie Stearns. The world needs such a song. I know I do.
OK, so, why I got into this rant in the first place. While Jennie didn't have any Christmas or winter music or talk of doing something like that at her web site, she did have a link to a wonderful site with many free downloads...two of which are New Year's songs (not from Jennie, sadly, but free New Years songs nonetheless). Head to the Free page for the tunes. Or stick around here for a bit and listen to a non-Christmas song from Jennie's "Sing Desire" album.
