Spring has SPRUNG....Almost!

This is my favorite time of the year! I love to see everything come alive again in our gardens and yard. As soon as the soil is workable, I'll be getting my fingernails dirty and planting our spring crops in our vegetable garden. We were organizing our seeds this morning and planning what we need to do to get ready! It's so exciting watching things grow and eating our own homegrown food!

Once my garden is planted, I'll be performing lots of concerts this spring. Check out my Tour Schedule in the Current Tour Section of my website. I hope I get to see you again at one of my concerts!

Here's some simple things that you can do around your house to help slow down global warming:
Take a power shower in less than 5 minutes. Unplug something in your room that you don't use very often. Carry your lunch to school in a reusable bag. Ask an adult to help you safely dispose of old batteries. Save paper by sending e-cards. Put water in a reusable bottle. Shut off the lights when you leave a room. Shut off the water while you brush your teeth. Plant a tree! The Ocean Project in Providence, RI has teamed up with me on my new CD and is doing wonderful work to help save the ocean and it's critters. Check them out at www.TheOceanProject.org.

My latest CD for Families, Under the Mystic Sea, has won 3 awards: Parents Choice Recommended 2007, NAPPA Honors 2007 and Children's Music Web Award - Best Recording for Young Children 2007! You can order it at nimbit.com, CDbaby.com or Amazon.com. ALL OF MY MUSIC IS NOW AVAILABLE DIGITALLY. VISIT NIMBIT.COM and purchase individual songs from my on-line merchant table!

There's a new section on my website: Programs and Venues. This will give you information on my special programs Under the Mystic Sea and Fairy Houses - Fairy Moon as well as my general concerts for children. I've been to many schools and libraries in CT, MA, NY and RI. My general concerts for children are appropriate for community concerts and elementary school assemblies.

I'm really looking forward to all my concerts this spring! I'll be performing with the band at many of them and hope you'll come out and sing and dance with us!

Warm blessings,

Maria Sangiolo
