Happy Valentines Day
Greetings!
Welcome to the second half of Winter! It’s all good!
As you have read on my website! This year is the year of new and exciting experiments with Miracles and Music. Lynn Woodland has written a remarkable book! Holding a Butterfly ~ An Experiment in Miracle Making. Although I am bias, (Many already know she is my sweetheart) I believe fully in the concept handed to her from the higher power. I and many other recommend this book.
My music this year will be focusing mostly on the meditation CDs for Lynn’s material. We have established our Publishing company and Music Label. 40shades music & publishing will offer about 12 CDs this year including; New Riders of the Purple Dead, Ravyn and Shipless, Butch r Baker and the Candlestyx and many more.
I received a lot of positive feedback on “Love is the Holidays” co-written with Chuck Haelig. Chuck has a lot of material that will be the bedrock of our Psychedelic Pop & Country Jam ensemble, New Riders of the Purple Dead (NRPD). We will be playing out this summer in parks. Catch us opening for the Woodstock Revival now scheduled at Lake Harriet Band Shell August 14th, 5 PM.
Here is our latest collaboration, Valentines Day. Written by Chuck Haelig for Haelig Music and Published with 40shades music & publishing.

A Proclamation to honor a “Day of Peace” in celebration of the life of John Lennon
Let us honor October 9th as a proclaimed day of peace in the cities!
John Lennon was born 70 years ago and heavily impacts and influences our city in ways unseen as the role model he was to so many of us of his generation…. as well as the present generation ….and the generations to come. Let us celebrate his life with a day of “Imagining Peace in our Community and to the other communities connected to us”. “For you can’t have a violent thought while you imagine peace!”
“On this day October 9th in honor of a man of peace and love, we imagine peace and send Love to all of our neighbors and their neighbors and their neighbors and so on”.
Sincerely,
Bill Butch R Baker
UNFORTUNATELY, UPON REVIEW THE MAYOR IS NOT GOING TO OFFER A PROCLAMATION!

Woodstock Again in 2010
Nearly, 500 braved the heat with Blankets spread, Picnic Baskets open and Freak Flags flying!
Little Diamonds took the stage at 6:15 PM.
The Candlestyx rocked the crowd with Revolution at 6.45 PM
Lightning closed the show early!
The Show was received with enthusiasm! With nearly 500 in attendance the music was engaging and we heard a lot of positives from the fans in the audience. As a result we have a number of new fans signed up on the mailing list. The Lightning storm closed the show early and we missed presenting Piece of My Heart! Oh Drat! But the good news is the full show will be on display on October 23rd at The Suburban World Theater in Uptown! Sign up for our newsletters now to get more information and reminders!
I love and Bless You All!
