New story on Johannes Linstead, his music, book and yoga at http://tinyurl.com/3nbgalu – please add a comment on the site!

Thanks to everyone that attended our concert at McMaster University's Convocation Hall. We broke the record for ticket sales and CD sales! They had to bring in more seating and still had to turn people away. Thanks again to the organizers and assistants (Rose, Chris, Emily, et al), and the publicity (Hamilton Life, The Hamilton Spectator, Wave 94.7). On behalf of my group, we look forward to returning again soon!

Blessings,

Johannes

Dear Friends,

For the entire month of March, 50% of music sales on www.johanneslinstead.com will be donated towards relief projects to assist the victims of the recent Japanese earthquake and tsunami. If you were waiting to buy any of my albums, now is a great time to do it and help all those affected by this tragedy.

Blessings,

Johannes
