Solomon Keal's Music Newsletter, August 2009

Hello Everybody.

I've moved!  My family and I have moved from the Lenhartsville/Kempton PA area down to the Bryn Athyn PA area, just north of Philadelphia.

Please note my new contact information on the Contact page. 

The reason for the move is that I've changed my day job.  I'm now in training for 3 years to become a minister for the church I belong to: the General Church of the New Jerusalem.

During the next 3 summers I hope to record two albums: A flute and piano album with my sister Roxanne (listen to a preview), and a blues and jazz solo piano album.

Sincerely yours,

- Solomon Keal

Solomon Keal's Music Newsletter, April 2009

Hello Everybody.

I will be selling my CDs at the Bryn Athyn Historic District Event on Saturday April 18th in Bryn Athyn PA.  I will be selling CDs between 11:00 AM and 5:00 PM in the Marketplace Tent.  I will also be performing my solo piano music live between 2:00 and 4:30 PM.

I will also be playing live solo piano for a wedding reception the following Saturday, April 25th.

Speaking of weddings, as we enter the "Wedding Season" of the year, remember that my latest album, "Forever and Eternity" featuring New Christian Love Songs by myself and my wife Tirah, would make a wonderful wedding gift.
Sincerely yours,
