I love my job

iStock_Dad+TeenGirl Ever since publishing my first songbook, Easiest Holiday Songs Ever for Guitar, I have received some of the sweetest thank-you emails.

Here’s one: “Dear Lisa, This is awesome, and very timely! My daughter and I are working on doing a duet with a couple of these songs. We are currently working on O’ Christmas Tree, with my 11 year old daughter working on the rhythm, and me the melody”.

So sweet! A family holiday tradition in the making?

Lots of people are grabbing the book and adding it to their collection, and that makes me feel just great. Here’s more about the book, Easiest Christmas Songs Ever for Guitar.

How did I get so lucky?

Best wishes, Lisa

PS: I think it has something to do with following my passion. 😉
