>Hi everyone -- friends, family and fans,
>
>I am going to ask a HUGE favor......it is with regard to SANCTUARY --
>an amazing recording by your friend and my husband, blues legend
>Charlie Musselwhite, that comes out Tuesday, April 6.
>
>It's not often that we get a chance to actually make a difference in
>an artist's career by spending $15, but during the next 8 days every
>CD purchase makes a difference. In this instance it's not really the
>money but it's the TIMING of the purchase that is of critical
>importance, because the difference between a CD that sells 900 units
>the first week and one that sells 1500 is the difference between a CD
>that fades away quickly and one that ends up having "legs."  In this
>case, the good news is that it's a beautiful recording and well
>worthy of the purchase:  it includes guest appearances by Ben Harper
>and The Blind Boys of Alabama and evocative performances by Charlie
>and his studio band.
>
>Here are two great Charlie M album reviews that ran Sunday April 3:

>In order to make it as easy as possible, here is the web link to
>Charlie's page on Amazon.com where it is available to pre-order.
>There are also samples of the music and a great editorial review (if
>you order through Amazon in the next few days you will be able to
>receive a free stream of the CD until it arrives):

>Sorry if I'm sounding like an infomercial, but if you can spend the
>few minutes and the few dollars to go to Amazon and get this CD in
>the next few days, it would really be helpful (and spread the word).

>Thanks and all the best to everyone,
