As a gift, I'm sending out one song of mine, for free, every week. I'm sharing the best existing recording of virtually everything I've written, in alphabetical order. This includes the songs on my albums, my songs on the Mommyheads and Connotations albums, live recordings, unreleased studio recordings, multilayered home recordings, a few videos, and early, lo-fi recordings made on cheap tape machines. A huge range of styles from 80s New Wave, dark art ballads, and classical instrumentals, to melodic pop, electronica, and wholesome folk.

There are two ways to partake:

	•	Join this Facebook group—https://www.facebook.com/groups/HoltSongs—where the selections will be posted weekly, and you can be part of conversations about them. 
	•	Or email me (pianotroubadour@gmail.com) that you’d like to subscribe, and I'll send the song to your inbox each week. This is the surer way to not miss a week, and it will also include a link to the week's Facebook conversation.

Each song comes with a little story about what inspired it, who played on it, etc. Vocal songs include the lyrics.

You will by no means be expected to listen to every song, or to respond to them. And you can unjoin or unsubscribe at any time. So if you'd like to partake, do join the above FB group, or email me to subscribe. 

Thanks lots,
Michael
