Free Piano CD

Thanks to MoneySavingMom (she is “da bomb”!) for the heads up on a beautiful CD available for FREE.  You know I always love free!

That’s right – you can download A Place of Quiet Rest for free!

This is a lovely set of piano arrangements of beloved hymns (the old, old ones --- from your childhood)  You’ll find Near to the Heart of God, My Jesus Love Thee, and Jesus Lover of My Soul (my favorites) among others ---

All they ask from you is a valid email address (they email you the download info) and a zipcode (not sure why --- probably to plan marketing etc).  And you get a beautiful free CD in exchange.  Doesn’t get any better than that.

PS:  I sneaked a listen --- its really beautiful --- and it meets its description --- A Place of Quiet Rest ---

Free Music

This may or may not be your taste in music --- but you can download (free and legally!!) up to 10 tracks from Greg Howland -- inspirational piano music --- through Friday.
Just go to Greg Howland's site -- you can download 5 tracks without any obligation or 10 tracks if you'll tell 3 friends about the deal --- pretty good deal if you ask me.
Special thanks to MoneySavingMom for pointing this one out.

Free Christmas Music!!

Let me start out by saying "I am not an Oprah fan." Don't get me wrong -- I don't dislike Oprah, I'm just not any kind of an Oprah fan. I know alot of people who think the sun rises and sets on Oprah. They are probably the people who buy the books, gifts, etc simply because she recommends them.
I, on the other hand, have two problems going with that whole thing. One, I'm not a huge Oprah fan --- I like some of her stuff, and I deeply dislike other of her stuff. Two, I'm too cheap to go out and buy something just because someone else says so. Heck, I don't even take free stuff just because someone says so.
But free Christmas music for my Ipod --- that is something I can get into. And I don't care one whit that it came from Oprah. Her website has 8 different Christmas songs --- mostly classics that you'll at least recognize --- that you can download for FREE for the next 48 hours (the website doesn't say when the 48 hours began -- so get there quick!!)
