We recorded our Christmas CD, A Windhaven Christmas, for family and friends, and never had any intention of selling it. We still stand by that, but we thought that in the spirit of the Christmas season, we would offer the CD to anyone who wants it. It’s not for sale, though. Send no money. It’s […]

I was saddened to learn yesterday that Robin Rogers has died. She was told she had a year to live, and only lived for three months, dying from liver cancer yesterday at her home in North Carolina. I won’t join the pile of people who are claiming to have been old friends with her. I […]
