I'm privileged to announce that two of my songs have been included in a compilation solo piano album entitled, "Relaxing Piano Artists for Alzheimer's Research". All proceeds from this album go to to support The Alzheimer's Association and the Alzheimer's Foundation. The album, which includes 40 songs from 20 different artists, is available for sale at iTunes for $9.99.

To be honest, not a whole lot the past few months... I did celebrate my 10th wedding anniversary (yikes I must be getting old!) in January and my 29th birthday (well, maybe not that old) in February. I took some time away from the piano for a while to clear my head, but recently I've been getting the itch to start composing again. I'm now working hard on some new pieces and would really like to get a new album together by the end of this year. That's the plan anyway....

Mark your calendars.. September 23rd is the official release date for my new CD, "Blessed Assurance: Solo Piano". I'm so excited to be able to share this music and I've decided to give everyone a preview by uploading two songs from the album to my page. Hope you enjoy them!

So, if you are interested in being kept up to date on what's going on with me and my music, follow me at: http://twitter.com/jenniferhaines

Here you go Jen (Thomas), a photo of my new haircut. I always get it cut thinking it will take less time to fix. I mean, it's shorter, so it'll take less time to blow dry etc., correct?! Wrong!! I spend more time trying to get it to look/fall right now that it's short than I ever spend on it when it's longer... Oh well. No split ends anyway!

What a fun 4th of July! Yesterday my girls took part in the "SS Class Centennial Anniversary Race" with their newly restored SS 150. There were three races and the girls came in 11th place over all! It was a lot of fun to watch and we all had a great time.

There is a new sheet music selection available for sale at my website! The song is "Moonlit Echo" from my Beautiful Solitude album. The album is out of print, but is still available for download at cdbaby.com for only $5.00.

On Sunday we had the worst storm that I have ever been through! It only lasted about twenty minutes, but the rain was coming down so hard that we couldn't see out our windows. When it finally stopped, this is what we saw in our backyard:
