<p>We performed some of my favorite songs in a casual setting with fellow musicians. Alan was rocking out with his crazy piano skills so much that I'm thinking we have to do more duo gigs.</p>
<p>Check out a reprise of the show (only a half hour!) on Feb 1st, 7PM at The Knitting Factory in Brooklyn. Check <a href="http://www.sarahelizabethfoster.com/calendar/">my calendar page</a> for more info, hope to see you there!</p>]]></content></entry><entry><title>Videos of More Christmas Covers!</title><category term="Sarah Elizabeth Foster"/><category term="Video"/><category term="christmas carols"/><category term="christmas song"/><category term="cover song"/><category term="kickstarter"/><category term="santa baby"/><category term="silver bells"/><category term="the christmas song"/><id>http://www.sarahelizabethfoster.com/blog/2012/1/1/videos-of-more-christmas-covers.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.sarahelizabethfoster.com/blog/2012/1/1/videos-of-more-christmas-covers.html"/><author><name>Sarah Elizabeth Foster</name></author><published>2012-01-01T20:00:22Z</published><updated>2012-01-01T20:00:22Z</updated><content type="html" xml:lang="en-US"><![CDATA[<p>One of the donation levels on my recent Kickstarter fundraising campaign for <em>Sleigh Ride</em> included me singing a show-stopping youtube version of the donor's favorite Christmas song, so Kate Lewis, Ron Langston, and Taylor Minor, here are yours below! And everybody else can enjoy them too.</p>
<p><strong>Sleigh Ride Update:</strong> The song has 837 views on youtube in only a couple of weeks! It is by far my fastest growing youtube video ever. Thank you for spreading the word to friends, I really appreciate it and I think it made a big difference.</p>
<p>The videos below for Kate, Ron, and Taylor were made in my rehearsal space near Times Square, NYC, so you might hear some sirens, street noise, radiator hiss, and drums from the next room, but I'm pretty proud of how they turned out. Feel free to comment and "like" on youtube! Thanks again to you three for being my biggest donors!!!</p>
