Tesla's Christmas...a chance to give back




It's been a tough year. My wife and I are very thankful to still have a roof over our heads and food on the table. Many are not as blessed. You see them on the streets, their homes have been foreclosed on. They barely have enough to get by... and some don't. Then, there are also the "other" family members, dogs, cats, etc. Some are abandoned on a highway, others killed at the end of their stay at the local animal shelter. Why?... because people don't have money to take care of them, let alone themselves.

About a month ago, I decided to use my music to give back. An eclectic project, "Tesla's Christmas", was born. The songs are comprised of Christmas Carols... some familiar and others not. Combining electronica with ancient sounding instruments, "these carols will remind you of something you've never heard before".
My wife and I will give all the profits we receive to a couple of charities that are close to our hearts:
The Rescue Mission of Salt Lake City and No More Homeless Pets in Utah
This is the very least we can do to help... Christmas should last 365 days a year.
Blessings, Richard & Cyndi Souther

MICHAEL BEHM "It's My Time"

MICHAEL BEHM
“It’s My Time”

With “It’s My Time,” prolific Canadian songsmith Michael Behm has crafted another winner. Rich in melody and possessing lyrics filled with universal resonance, it’s a song that belongs on CHR / Hot AC radio and in the hearts of its listeners.

Behm has earned a rapidly growing international following with his eloquent solo compositions, but “It’s My Time” marks a new foray into co-writing. The song is the shining outcome of a highly creative collaboration with legendary Canadian songwriter Ron Irving.

The track will be features on the 2009 season of American Idol exposing Behm to millions of listener’s worldwide.

“It’s My Time” takes the listener on a voyage of emotional discovery when the singer finds he is now on the “big stage” and as Behm says, “The crowd is going wild!” The track features Behm’s expressive and honest vocals and guitar work. This is complemented by the superb accompaniment of A-list player’s drummer Randall Stoll (Tom Cochrane), bassist Scott Macleod (Platters) Steve Morris (Ian Gillan Band). Recording of the track took place at both Bryan Adam’s Warehouse Studios and Behm’s Vancouver Island studio. The track was mixed by Behm’s long time partner Delwyn Brooks, (INXS, Coverdale / Jimmy Page) with mastering by Brian Gardner at Bernie Grundman, Katy Perry, Linkin Park.

The result is another Behm classic, one that belongs on your AAA play list.
