Secondly …I hope this coming year unfolds in a positive way for one and all….

                      And now…yesterday morning the 31^st, we were to depart Ottawa @ 10 am to head out to Saskatoon to play at the Dakota dunes casino for a New years Eve Party…well it has been an eventful trip…Our flight was delayed due to weather, or the captain slept in, I'm not sure which was the real story…we missed our connection and had a four hour layover in Toronto…we did get to Saskatoon at about 8pm…missed our sound check time of 4pm…Ken, our bass player's instrument didn't make it….the folks in the opening band, Jesse Farrell, were kind enough to let him use theirs…The management at the Casino treated us royally, even went out of their way to bake me a Birthday cake which they presented to me on stage…very thoughtful…the show was rocking and people were dancing and a good time was had by all…this morning's flight was scheduled for 11:30am but looking at the weather network when I got up I realized we were in for more delays…we finally got out of Saskatoon at about 2pm….had to change our connector in Toronto…so they put us on the plane at 6:15pm…oops…no pilots…I guess we'll have to wait for them...2 ½ hours later we left Toronto and finally made it to Ottawa…oops…no luggage…seems they didn't have time to transfer it in the hours we sat at the gate in Toronto…so we filled out our missing bags claim and they say we should get it in two to three days, probably via London or Paris!!!...the one constant in it all was that we all managed to keep a sense of humor about it all and we had a lot of great laughs…there was only one low point when some one was starting to get frustrated and I reminded them that we could be in Kenya, Darfur or some other place in the world other than this great country of ours and that our troubles were minimal comparatively…it all came back together…mostly we had to endure lack of sleep, poor eating times, and bad jokes…that still made us laugh…thanks to all that came out to the show….it's great to finally make it home…funny how a simple two day journey can feel like a weeks adventure…well it's on to 2008 and looking forward to so many good things…I woke up breathing this morning, I can walk, talk, sing, write and entertain…and live in a land where we are truly free…a commodity that seems to be growing scarcer every day in this world….so  as we start this new year count your blessings and thank whatever God or Being you believe in for all that you have been given in this world for there is much to be thankful for…even lost luggage!!!

                                                                                          All the Best, Charlie Major

            I’m dreaming of a white…no need to dream…we’ve had the most snow in December since recorded history, with more to come…but that’s alright with me, I say bring it on…I guess I’m just a Northern boy at heart, and part of that is snow…playing in it, walking in it, driving in it, digging out of it, skiing, skating, snowmobiling, throwing snowballs, making snowmen, making snow angels, just plain enjoying it….

           I was driving home last night from a school function for the boys and I was noticing all the lights on the houses that I past…it’s such a wondrous sight…and I felt that there was a message in the displays I saw…the people who put up the lights went to a lot of trouble and I couldn’t help but feel a sense of hope and optimism in their work at this time of the year…the world is in conflict and has been since the dawn of man yet at this festive time of year we can still find some ray of hope and love…all we need do is find a way to translate that to the rest of the year…

          At this time I would like to take the opportunity to thank every one who has and keeps supporting me in my musical career…as we leave this year behind and head off into a new one I wish you all the Merriest of Christmases and may the New Year be a satisfying and prosperous one for you…I for one am looking forward to the opportunity of crossing the country once again and sharing my songs with every one …

         On one last note I would like to explain that the websites I have running on Myspace, Facebook and charliemajor .com are a way for me to keep in touch, and vice versa, with you the fans…but, alas I don’t have time to answer all the e-mails and messages I receive…I try to answer some but it would be a labor intensive job if I were to try and keep up with it all and then I wouldn’t have time to do what I should be doing, music!!...so thanks for all the invites, slayers, kisses, drinks etc…etc..but I will not respond to them so please take no offence…every one has a different agenda and as I mentioned mine is to keep people informed of what’s going on with my professional and sometimes personal life…And with that I’ll say it again,

                                  MERRY CHRISTMAS

                                     HAPPY NEW YEAR

                      WISHING YOU ALL MY BEST

                                           CHARLIE MAJOR
