Thanks to folks at Crossroads . . . and free downloads for "fans"! :)

Last night, we played at Crossroads Missionary Baptist Church in Benton, AR. We wanted to say a big thank you to the folks there! They not only advertised the event well, but they prepared a wonderful meal for us to eat after the performance and treated us like royalty! We really appreciated it!

The CD should be here soon . . . I've already got the mp3 files for the songs from the mastering engineer (Eric Uglum), so I'm going to upload some of them so y'all can listen! I'll have extra ones, too, that you can download if you've signed up for our mailing list. (The sign-up thingie is right here on the sidebar of this news section.) I'll try to get that done today if possible!

Update: the way this thing works is: you just click on "become a fan" on our music thingie down farther on the sidebar, and it prompts you to sign up for our mailing list. Anyway, then you get to download "A Million Things," the title cut from our new CD, when you visit our Reverb Nation page. (http://www.reverbnation.com/hartleyfamily/) At least that's how I understood it to work from the instructions! :) (Ah, technology!)

Hope y'all enjoy the new songs on here! (Cathy Prayed & Were You There) The first one I'm singing, and the second is Abby. You can listen to a few more of the new songs, plus some songs from last year's recordings, on our myspace page as well.

Enjoy your week!
