If we don't support our local stores, where you can still get a CD or vinyl record that you can touch and feel, and read the artist thank you notes, and enjoy the artwork and more - the CD could be near extinction. We are here to say, "Oh no you don't….We love our indie retailers, and we love indie music on CD!" She also admits, "I know Long Island is a bit far to drive so, our west coast friends can expect that we will have information soon about where to get the cd, when it is released nationally next week. Today...we celebrate Long Island!"

I love to perform LIVE, and I love Long Island. It's always great to see my young fans and their parents, who also like my music grooving to the same hip sounds. 106.1 BLI is the perfect radio station to join us and it's going to be a real Long Island Party!"
