Great things have been happening in my world! I'm starting to record a new dance record with a newly formed group called Jajucha that will include myself, Jan Pulsford and Julian Marsh. We've recorded several dance tracks through the years for Julian's Pride CD's on Centaur Music. This new music is going to be fantastic and we are going to be having some very special guest appearances. So check back for updates on that project. Oxygen & Love has made it's way onto the Out Club. It's available for sale there as well as music by other gay artists. We are in the process of getting the Christmas project ready to release on the Out Club for this coming holiday season. Visit their website

To coincide with the MySpace Peace Candle movement I have made available for free download "Light A Candle" http://www.myspace.com/happycharlesmusic

This is a pop/world song that was recorded several years ago and seems timely today.

The backing track for you karaoke fans is available at http://www.myspace.com/athenablue





"Light A Candle"

Light a candle as we pray
For peace and love on Christmas day
And one for the Hanukkah Menorah
And one for the Kwanzaa Kinara


Light a candle as we pray
For peace on earth this winter day
And one for the Yule Log and Christmas Tree
And one for the Lights of Diwali



Light a candle as we play
Music for the solstice day
A song of hope the new year will bring
A song that all the children will sing


Light a candle as we pray
For peace around the world today
And as we look into the flame
Remember that we are all the same



Light a candle as we pray
For peace and love on Christmas day
And one for the Hanukkah Menorah
And one for the Kwanzaa Kinara


I recorded this song with Jan Pulsford a few years ago and with everything happening in the world right now let's all "light a candle as we pray for peace around the world today."

Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a great holiday season. Mine was wonderful but I'm ready to get back to work. So many things are in store for this year! If you don't have Sirius Satellite Radio...get it now! It's awesome and there's a 24/7 Gay/Lesbian Channel with amazing programs. I'll be going up to New York in a couple of weeks to do a live studio interview with Larry Flick who does a morning show every day and who worked at Billboard and reviewed my very first single. It will be great to finally meet him! I did an interview with Pat Marino who has a great show on every Sunday night - check it out! Oxygen & Love got a great review over the holidays in Between The Lines - Michigan's weekly news for Gays, Lesbians, Transgenders and Friends. You can read it here http://www.pridesource.com

I'll be heading out to L.A. in March for a while. I've got some incredible film and television opportunities! So hopefully you'll be hearing one of my songs on the big screen soon! I'll keep you updated. I'll be starting back at Murphy's Loft in February..and I've got several Gay Pride festivals lined up for the summer! Keep checking back and I'll post the dates as soon as they are confirmed.
