It is also extremely empowering when one recognizes that it is our CHOICE, that which we bestow our energy on. So, here and there is the summation of our winter respite here in VA, surrounded by one of the most vibrant Autumns ever witnessed. Fantastic opportunities to catch up and share what we've been up to, along with some good old fashioned tour dates are rolling in for 2008 and we look forward to sharing much merrymaking with every one of our friends out there on the trail. Until then, we are looking forward to catching up with friends, old and new, at our mid-December shows rounding out 2007. So deck the halls and come fa-la-la!

We have also been blessed with a very special honor and would like to request your input.

Adrienne has been nominated for a seat on the Board of the Americana Music Association under the title of Artist.
This would prove to a tremendous opportunity for her to share AYLS' experience since their Grammy nominated first cd, Plow To The End of the Row, which debuted in 2003. Thus far, their journey has been that of independent artists generously supported by members and supporters of this genre. There have been many lessons learned and there many more to come, to be certain, but if you are a member of the AMA, or know one, please vote for Adrienne by December 5th if you feel her insight would prove helpful to the cause and growing applause of Americana Music. Thank you!

OK!

Please read on for some 'tell it like it tis' articles we've come across on issues near and dear to our hearts! Cheers and warmest regards to you and yours forevermore!
