Metropolitan Opera Shop has just re-stocked 'Old McHandel.' It is a lovely book to celebrate Spring and a perfect gift for the new babies in your life or to perk up your little lamb's interest in music. We also sell direct but do appreciate our supporters in the fine arts. So thrilled that people are back in support of theatre.

McHandel's Sweet Idea

HANDEL+HENDRIX House in London received 20 more copies of Old McHandel & His Musical Farm today. They sold out of the original shipment. Hopefully all those Americans visiting Wimbledon will want one for their favorite child. The Artisans in McLean also just placed a re-order after selling out!

Shipped off some copies to the Handel & Hendrix Society in Mayfair, London for their bookstore. They said the PDF brightened the staff's day!

I think this is my favorite spread in the book because I love cherry blossoms and I love hummingbirds!

Excited to publish "Old McHandel & His Musical Farm." So pleased that the Kennedy Center is carrying it, as well as Foxes Music and The Heifitz Institute, and the Library of Congress and Fairfax County Library will hold it in their collection. I even saw the Kindle for sale on the Amazon Japan site! Thanks to everyone in the community for their support. Bravo to John and Ben Castillo et al. Here's to selling out in the New Year! Still time to order for your young musician.

Happy Birthday to George Washington, perhaps our most iconic founding father from Virginia. Pictured is one of the first pieces I created for the Young Presidents' Organization shortly after arriving to the Mid-Atlantic region. I loved the die-cut cover and vellum overlay.
