Visit her at http://www.MaryDAmbra.com

I am pleased to announce that my long time family friend, Mary D’Ambra has just launched her first music website.

Why is this so exciting? It is because that Mary is a very talented lady and her music is available for the first time online! She had generously uploaded her first two albums so you can listen to then for free right on her site.

I was blessed to be able to design the last album, Live at Mars Hill Cafe, so I know it intimately. I especially like “I Lift My Eyes” if I am having a rough day. Mary also has loaded sneak peaks of her new album on the way which will soon be available through iTunes.

Now, open your browser, prepare your favorite beverage and get ready to be blessed as you listen to Mary D’Ambra sing her heart out. Click here to listen now or visit www.MaryDAmbra.com
