Have you heard Erik Kjelland singing Brighter on the Everybody Falls CD that benefits those in the multiple sclerosis community through the programs and services provided by Multiple Sclerosis Association of America?
If not please link to the official site to hear Brighter and What If two of the tracks on this great album.
Erik and music producer Jilladair Carlson have dedicated significant time and energy into this CD that is only available through the official web site EverybodyFalls.com at a mere ten dollars plus shipping and handling.
This voluntary effort has a target of two million dollars. Efforts are being made to get the CD into the stores before National MS Awareness Month in March although with some stores demanding 40% for their own profits, somehow the concept of charity rings somewhat hollow, even during this season of giving.
In the interests of disclosure I am closely involved with this project as a representative of Multiple Sclerosis Association of America and have been holding periodic teleconferences for our volunteer team interested in helping with promotion, media outreach and sales. Those interested in learning more about the next teleconference scheduled on December 18th at 8pm eastern, should email me directly.
Everybody Falls makes for a great stocking stuffer this year and helps those with MS too.
Everybody Falls makes for a great gift to offer customers and clients alike while showing your charitable stance.
Please support all those challenged with MS by purchasing a copy for yourself and one for a friend.
Please consider volunteering on this project in the new year, information can be found at www.volunteermatch.org and on the volunteer page of www.everybodyfalls.com.

Tis the season.
I have been ready for Christmas since Thanksgiving. There is something about watching the arrival of Santa in the New York Macey's Day Parade followed by a turkey dinner that sets me in the mood for Christmas.
This year Thanksgiving fell as always on the third Thursday in November, but was earlier in the month than normal so I had to wait over a week for the "holiday" movies to start to be shown on television every night.
There are some films that just have to be watched each year, Miracle on 34th Street is a huge personal favorite, the colorized version over the black and white is preferred; Its a wonderful life, a classic that I only watched for the first time in the US, and the "You'll shoot your eye out and the misadventures of little Ralphy in his quest for a gun for Christmas".
