The Folk Alliance International Folk Radio Charts for January of 2023 were released not too long ago, and it seems that my album Still, released in June of 2022, is still in the Top 40, at #35. That’s eight months running in the Top 40!
Its highest slot as an album was #4, and it held the number one slot for individual songs in September, 2022, with the fortuitously-named song September Me. It’s been wonderfully affirming that folk DJs have been so enthusiastic about the record. They also named it the #19 album of the year for 2022, and the #31 artist of the year, right below Lyle Lovett.
If you haven’t had a chance to hear it, you can order it on CD, vinyl, or digital download here. And by the way, all of the vinyl copies of this album are numbered and signed. If your music flows to you in streams these days, you can find it on all of the major streaming services here.
I’m continuing to produce videos from this record, and it’s been fun sharing them. Videos for the songs Coming Alive Again and Thinkin’ have already been released, and The Way It’s Done, Look Away, and September Me will come out in the next few months. If you want to stay in the loop on those releases, be sure to sign up for updates, and if you want the inside scoop, sneak previews, etc., come join the inner circle on Patreon!
It’s been beautiful to see folks make a place in their hearts for these songs. Thanks for listening to them.

Yesterday, I enjoyed my first-time attending David’s concert performance at John Knox PC in North Olmsted, Ohio. It was fun, fun and more fun. The people gathered there were engaged and the energy was positive.
Since David mentioned his time spent in Sarasota, Florida, I have a request. Please consider writing a song about the contrast between using balloons to celebrate a variety of life’s milestones versus the end-of-life results balloons have on marine life. The following quote is from the website: cleanaction.org
“Balloons in the marine environment harm and kill animals in the ocean and on land. Whales, turtles, and other marine life often mistake balloons for their natural prey, such as jellyfish and squid. Once eaten, balloons can block the digestive systems of animals, causing a long and painful death through starvation.”
Hi Mary – thanks so much for coming to the concert, and for your kind words!
I appreciate the song suggestion. I’ll muse and ponder and see what arises. I’m aware of the issue, and I appreciate you caring about it! Peace to you.
