I will begin mailing out copies of the CD as early as March 5th so please find that email, fill out the survey providing your address an all other relevant info. requested so I can get you your copy of the CD on time. Many of you have already completed that survey but I'm still waiting on a few of you..thanks for your cooperation.
Sincerely,

Update #12: New CD by Ronnie Shellist is almost ready!!
Just a quick update! The CD, as of minutes ago, has just been mastered! For those of you who don't know what that means, it means that all that is left to do is replicate packaging/CDs...couple weeks out! Can't wait to mail them out to everyone who has pre-ordered a CD!! Shouldn't be too much longer now. Meanwhile, I have attached a photo of the front cover of the CD for you to check out.
Update #11: Turn up your speakers! Sneak peak of the song "One Day" from the new CD.
Head to www.RonnieShellist.com right now to have a listen for yourself. "One Day", a track from the new CD, is posted for you guys to have a listen. Enjoy!
Update #10: Just back from the studio
I have just finished recording the new CD "Till Then"! I decided to change the title of the CD from "Knockin" to "Till Then" which had more personal meaning to me. It is off to mixing and then mastering in January. I am very pleased with what we captured in the studio and can't wait to share it with everyone. It was exhausting but we had a blast cutting the tunes and I'm proud of what we accomplished.
It is an amazing thing to watch these songs come to life in the studio. The musicians on the CD: Gerry Hundt: guitar/mandolin, Bob Carter: drums, Todd Edmunds: bass and Jeremy Vasquez: guitar really made this CD shine. If it were not for the quality of musicians that surrounded me, the CD wouldn't be the same.
Again, I can't wait to get the final product in your hands soon. If things continue at this pace with few hiccups, I am on track to releasing the CD in March as planned. Thanks again for making this possible!! I am including a photo from the studio of us working on one of the acoustic tracks.
Sincerely,
Ronnie Shellist

Update #9: Heading to the studio before the year is out!
Just want to let everyone know that I'll be hitting the studio very soon. I'm very excited and will try to keep you informed on the progress of the CD as it moves along. After the holidays, the CD will go through it's final mix and then off to mastering. I hope that by early February I will be able to begin the production of the CDs so I can get them in your hands sooner than later. Along the way, I'll be working out the final details of CD layout, artwork/photography etc. So, perhaps I'll have some things to share with everyone soon!
Sincerely
Ronnie Shellist

My name is Ronnie Shellist. I am a musician and teacher. I started the website www.Harmonica123.com to share my passion with others and help them learn how to play the harmonica. I have spent the last 5 years posting instructional videos and performances of myself on YouTube. One of my videos was featured on the Today Show and two of them featured on YouTube itself. I have had the distinct pleasure and honor of opening up for some great musicians such as BB King, Robert Cray and The Neville Brothers. I am hoping to take my musical career to the next level.
Right now, I am almost finished writing my first, mostly original, blues CD. It will be titled "Knockin" and I hope to release the CD in early 2012. To hear me play, see me perform or teach, you can check out some of the websites listed below.
Ronnie, I'm happy to provide (or confirm) address information, but I don't have the email you mentioned to refer to.
