My song, “All Out of Smiles” is finally available for download on myspace. (www.myspace.com/emilyriesen) The song has received a large number of plays, so I’m praying that is a good forecast for the number of downloads that will be made. The proceeds made from “All Out of Smiles” will be donated to a wonderful charity of the Military Lifestyles Charitable Foundation. The specific charity is the USASOC Soldier, Family, and Command Support Association, which will provide financial help for families of our special operations forces.

Hey everyone…

Thank you so much for your response to “All Out of Smiles”…I’m still blown away. I have had a lot of people ask me if we could get the song up for download and I was waiting for the right time and the right cause. I have found it! There is a charity that supports the USASOC (United States of America Special Operations Command). It is an amazing cause funded by the Military Families Lifestyle Charitable Foundation and primarily supports families who need financial help due to a husband or father serving oversees. The proceeds from the song’s downloads will be donated to the charity. I hope that when the song is posted for download I can help out this wonderful cause with your help. Look for the banner on my myspace in the next few weeks.

Thanks for all of your support!

Hey everyone,

I just wanted everyone to know how blown away I am by the number of listens the new song is getting! “All Out of Smiles” is a very meaningful song to me and to anyone who has a loved one fighting for our country. Initially I thought that the activity on my page would slow down after the first few weeks. But it hasn’t! I hope that you all know how thankful I am to see people listening to my music and checking in on my site. I am going to have the song up for download soon so that all you good people can enjoy it from a place other than your computer!

Again, THANK YOU!! I can’t say it enough. It is positivity like this that pushes me to continue to write and strive for this dream. New recordings in a few weeks… Keep Checking back!
