I've been a member of ASCAP for about 20 years, and for the first time since becoming a member, I received my first royalty deposit this week. It's not much money (less than $20), but still, it put a smile on my face, and I remember the admonition to be grateful in all things.
COMING SOON!
I intended to release this last Fall, but when the Federal government shuts down, the Library of Congress shuts down, which means the U.S. Copyright Office shuts down (not a political commentary, just an explanation). Anticipating a late April/early May release date.
I've just discovered that when an artist releases Christmas music on Pandora, the company creates a separate radio station and artist page, highlighting the artist's holiday music. If you listen on Pandora, here is the link to the Christmas music:

STREAMING TONIGHT AT YOUR MIDNIGHT, and this time, EVERYWHERE (including Apple)!
Links in the comments below, or you can ask Alexa to play "Kevin Douglas Hammer The Carols".
"For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given..."
Merry Christmas!
Despite the fact that You Tube and You Tube Music are really the last platforms where you can stream for free without restrictions, I have to confess I've not done terribly well on this platform to date. Thankfully however, it did go beyond friends and family in 2024.
The 2024 Spotify thank you video. There is a deadline for video submissions so though the Christmas music is mentioned, again, it doesn't stream until Nov. 22nd.
Streaming TONIGHT at MIDNIGHT (in your time zone)! Everywhere but Apple. And a reminder, you can always stream for free (with ads) on YouTube or YouTube Music. I hope you enjoy!
This is a big milestone on Spotify! There are certain requirements that must be met before this particular type of playlist is generated . In short, this playlist is not auto-generated, it is earned. Your support helped to make this happen. Thank You!!!
