So! isn’t it all amazing!
I am THRILLED!!!! I am SO THRILLED!!!!!!!!!
I now have the master of the record finished and will begin to plan how and when is best to release it in 2020, I will set a firm date and on that date it will ship to you all and I will build my entire 2020 calendar around promoting it, gigging it and making sure, if I possibly can, that the world knows what a GREAT ALBUM THIS IS! My best! And I know you and I love all my records, but this one’s the best! I cannot wait for you to hear it!
So! Revel in the artwork! Pre-order your choices (and/or pre-existing items) and roll on 2020!
Much Love
Wendy xoxo
