Hey Everybody,

So…in an effort to be competitive with my other distributors (Amazon, Cdbaby, iTunes, etc….hugs to them but they do take chunks of my earnings), I am offering my album “Key of Sea” for a special price of $9.99 from my website for the next week only. I also offer free shipping and free autographing (if you want it). My album regularly sells for $14.99 everywhere else, plus shipping. Think of the extra gas you can put in your tank with the money you’ll save.

Wait. That’s still not very much gas.

Anywho – This is the first time I’ve ever lowered my album price, but I’m feeling generous. So take advantage, if you love my music and want to support me, now is your chance to get my album for a great low price.

Spread the word okay?

Be brave, click on over to www.jenniferthomasmusic.com. You won’t be sorry. I promise.

Sale ends next Sunday, August 17th.

Jennifer had her baby last Friday, June 13, 2008. Preston William Thomas was born via Csection after 22 hours of hard labor. He was 8 lbs 4 oz, 19.5 inches long, and has beautiful red hair and blue eyes. Mother and baby are resting up and doing well.

Well, I have to say it was a fun day watching the stats on all of the voting for the finals. I honestly did not think I would end up in the top 20, let alone the top 10. But “Fly Away” finished at #3 overall. That is pretty cool and humbling – there were a LOT of talented people in there. I am honored to have had the chance to compete.

I just uploaded some new selections that I’ve entered for June. This will be my second month competing on ourstage, so I’m curious to try out some other genres. For May I only had entered 3 songs into Instrumental, Solo Instrumental, and New Age/World – not having any idea how I would fair in any of those categories. Now that I’ve gotten my “feet wet”, I think I will try some more aggressive categories.

Just to clarify my music, I’m primarily a pianist. I perform as a solo pianist. I write music for piano. Occassionally for solo violin. But within the last year, I’ve had a lot of opportunities to work with filmmakers, and it has broadened my composition arena to include more cinematic music. So some of these new pieces will sound nothing like my piano-istic songs.

Anyway, I’m due to have a baby any day now, so wish me luck. It is my first – and it’s going to be a boy. My husband and I are anxious, I feel huge and am ready to get this overwith (the whole pregnancy thing). So I may just disappear for the rest of the month while I wallow in the fear and craziness at the getting-used-to-being-a-new-parent thing.

In the meantime, happy judging and good luck everyone. Thanks so much for your support of my music. I couldn’t do this without that, so thanks a million.
