Merry X-mas. They say you need a sense of humor to overcome adversity, so in the last year our sense of humor has been stretched. We're both happy to move on, and while it's difficult to move from your own 3-bedroom home in Nashville to a garage in Santa Monica, it's been the right thing to do.

For example, we had Thanksgiving with a producer. And while we were enjoying a very fine California cigar, we listened to the tracks we cut in Nashville with Mike Webb and Fugitive Glue with Dave Roe on bass. (Please don't tell FuGlu we love them or miss them). Anyway, the end result is that we made a deal. Since it's all digital and online, we can't call it a record deal, but it will integrate our short films, writing, vlogs, etc. in addition to music. Maybe this will work? The old way was killing us. We love playing live and if it makes any kind of $$$ sense, we'd do it in a second, but we can't play live and lose money, so we'll do everything online with the help of VidLit.com (TM).

We're going to open up our affairs to the world in the same way reality TV does, except this is actually real, not just pretty people cast for an ad campaign about Shampoo that makes women instantly orgasm in the shower.

So merry Christmas, we have two presents for you....here is a link to give you just a taste of our version of The Sopranos Theme from our upcoming album http://www.bettydylan.com/mp3/sopranos_cut.mp3 (2.4mb) and be sure to click on the video above to see a new video we shot just before leaving Nashville... Enjoy!

Happy holidays! And as of today we're still married, and we'd like to thank you for supporting us in our dream all these years.

Rest in Peace, James Brown.
