Missy Raines & The New Hip
December 2014
Dear Friends,

Here's wishing you a joyful and peace-filled season. 
It's been a good year, yet I'm more than a little excited about what 2015 has in store.
  
December is filled with session work and then there's Christmas.  January will be spent close to home writing songs and working up new music.  Touring begins again in February.  
And the beat goes on... 
   
It never escapes me that I'm very lucky to have this life.  And I'm keenly aware of how much my parents, (Betty and Bob), did to allow me the gift of choice, and of opportunity to explore and pursue my dreams.  Thanks Mom & Dad. 
  
One of the coolest things about my parents was how much they supported the music           community in general.  Attending shows all year long, often driving hours for one concert,   attending festivals, buying records, and housing and feeding hundreds of itinerant musicians through the years.   
   
That spirit lives on.  I'm reminded of it every time we hit the road, stand at the record table, and are invited to homes out on the trail. It's a great community to be part of.  I wouldn't trade it for anything.  
   
Thanks to all of you for being here and for doing what you do. 
   
   Love and peace,  Missy
Thanks...
