My new CD, plenty, has arrived in several boxes. I have moved them to the kitchen from the garage and am filling orders now. It will be on CD Baby, iTunes, etc soon but for the moment is available only through the mail. Send me an email and I will get one to you. Here is the scoop:
plenty ~ the 2012 new CD from Sarah Goslee Reed ~ These songs could be called my take on our economic times, but more importantly address the differences between needs and wants that confuse us and throw our lives into chaos. One of these songs, “All Living Things”, was written by a group of first graders - such wisdom and sensibility in their words! Another is about the planting of some 7,000 trees in a local arboretum. What could be better than to plant a tree?
But the song that is most special is one I wrote in response to the loss of a dear friend’s grandson. Dedicated to Wesley Garrett and his loving family, a portion of each sale goes to the Wesley Garrett Memorial Fund at Black River Middle School in Sullivan, Ohio to support children’s mental health programs. There was an emptiness in Wes that no one knew was there until it was too late to fill it. May the song “The Hole in His Heart”, as well as another called “The Piano”, remind us to get close to each other, to talk, to love, to distinguish wants from needs, and to recognize the plenty that we all have.
Thank you for ordering this CD ~ please remit $20 plus $1.50 S/H to

plenty, n. sufficiency, abundance, profusion, amplitude.
Something is in the works….The CD “Plenty” is a cornucopia of songs celebrating the positive in life, featuring tunes about the garden, the mystery of a large oak table, a piano, a neon sign….and a wolf. I am joined on the CD by Tom Martin on bass, Skip Trask on drums, and by some surprise guests too! Look for this in the fall......
Yep, I have a band! I am so excited to announce that Tom Martin and Skip Trask are adding their amazing talents to my music! Tom's lyrical bass and Skip's smooth rhythm take my songs to a whole new place! We are debuting the sound at the Red Kettle Cafe in August - check the calendar for dates!
If you are a wedding photographer looking for a great song to go with a video, I have the song for you! The Circle of Hands, available as a single on CD Baby, is also available for a one time licensing fee for video productions. I have had several photographers ask for it so it is now a reality instead of a possibility. Just send me an email!
Starliners Radio in the Netherlands has four of my tunes on the air this week! Visit www.starliners.net to hear more!
I have some new songs available online at CD Baby - be sure to check the products page for links! First, a CD from the mid 90's, Cowboy on the Highway, is now available at CD Baby, as well as two singles. Here is what Jack has to say about this CD:
"After listening to your music, I feel I can call you by your first name.
You have a way of relating to your audience such that you become
part of our circle of friends. Today I was rummaging through
the used CDs at our local Goodwill and bought 8 or 10 in hopes of
finding a few winners. Usually I find 1 or 2 classical Cds, a few vocals
or instrumentals I enjoy among mostly junk. What I found today was
"Cowboy On The Highway". It was a jewel among my purchases
and the only one I played all the way through, repeatedly
You can bet it won't find it's way back to Goodwill! It's going on my
mp3 player and CPU hard drive. Thank you for sharing your talent.
The next CD of yours I get, and there will be a next one,
will come from a music store or on line."
The singles are Mystery, a song about a beautiful hand made oak table that has been in our family for 40 years. This table now sits in my kitchen, yet no one in the family knows much about the making of it or other similar furniture that came to us when my dad bought a cottage in the woods years ago. There is no one to ask...hence the speculation and the mystery.....
The second single is called The Circle of Hands and is about two families joining together as a couple is married. Written for the occasion of my daughter's marriage, this song is non-specific as far as names go, so it can be used for any ceremony where two people join hands and therefore join families. The circle of hands surrounds them and holds them close as their journey begins.
