<p>I cannot believe it has been this long since I last posted to the blog. Wow!!! I hope everyone is doing well. There has been so much happening in this world of mine. Just getting over three weeks of laryngitis. That was a living hell. </p>

It is a new service for musicians created by the Happs team. Reach.me allows me to stream to Facebook, Instagram, Twitch, Twitter, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit and more. I am looking forward to watching it grow. Very excited to be a part of the service.</p>

<p>Merry Christmas All!!!! </p>
<p>I hope this entry finds everyone doing well in these crazy times. </p>
<p>I just released a Christmas Song. Two of my favorites “Silent Night / Little Drummer Boy”. </p>
<p>“Silent Night” was the very first Christmas song that I learned to play on an instrument. In fact it is the very first song period that I learned to play on an instrument. It was the first song in a little songbook that came with an organ that was given to me when I was a little boy. </p>
<p>“Little Drummer Boy” is my favorite Christmas song. I love the whole story behind it. I have nothing but my art to give. To my surprise this song is not yet in public domain so I had to pay for the licensing of it in order to release it.</p>
<p>What is really cool about this recording is the fact that the first verse of silent night is song by my daughter and son. Also on the release is a trumpet part performed by my daughters best friend. </p>
<p>It was a really fun project and I learned a lot in the process. Everything was recorded in my home studio mixed and produced by yours truly. Hey I even picked up the bass for this one. </p>
<p>Thank all of you for your support. Please listen, like, share and ad to your playlists. </p>
<p>You can find the song in these locations.<br><a href="https://keyofcg.com/track/2571508/silent-night-little-drummer-boy">KeyOfCG.com</a><br><a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="http://itunes.apple.com/album/id1546063172?ls=1&app=itunes" target="_blank">Tunes</a><br><a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://open.spotify.com/album/70DWmJv3hvR2WXpxlbG6tj" target="_blank">Spotify</a><br><a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://youtu.be/WmaOQ2Ghgy4" target="_blank">YouTube</a></p>

<p>I am traveling today to Malden, MO to film and interview with Theron Woods on his show <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.aycorpmedia.com/thebackline" target="_blank">The Back Line</a> produced by <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.aycorpmedia.com/thebackline" target="_blank">Aycorp Media</a>. <br><br>We will be discussing gear, influences, best practices and how I and other musicians are surviving the pandemic and the cancelation of show. </p>
<p>Theron is a phenomenal singer songwriter in his own right. He is from MO but has spent some time in Nashville and Memphis. </p>
<p>I am looking forward to the drive and looking forward to spending some time with friends and a fellow musician at Aycorp Media Studios.</p>

<p>As you know my performance schedule has changed. I am onstage at <a href="http://facebook.com/Lawlersonbeale">Jerry Lawler’s Hall of Fame Bar and Grille</a> on Beale Street now Wednesday through Sunday from 12-4. By having Mondays and Tuesdays off I am freed up to do a little more creating. I am in the process of honing my recording and writing skills.</p>
<p>Keep your eyes and ears open on <a href="http://pscp.tv/chrisgalesmusic">Periscope</a> for a few new ideas to better connect and entertain my viewers and attract new ones. I am planning on trying to do at least one late night / early morning scope for #TeamChrisGales #NightCrew . These are those people who for whatever reason can only watch replays. There are a few who religiously watch the replays and I would like to give them an opportunity to interact with me. These scopes will be happening sometime between 12 a.m. and 4 a.m.</p>
<p>Once again if you haven’t visited <a href="http://bit.ly/CGInYourTown" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BandsInTown</a> and tracked me, please do so. This will help me see, on a map, where my shows are desired. It will help me plan a tour and bring my music to you.</p>
<p>Thank all of you again so much for your continued support. Take care of yourselves and take care of each other.</p>

It is so cool to be performing for people from all over the world who I would otherwise never get the chance to perform for. <br> Times may vary but I am attempting to do a minimum of one feed a day at 2:30pm C.S.T. This is the tail end of my daily show on Beale St. so I should be good and warmed up. I plan on adding more regular shows to allow my overseas fans a chance to catch me live. <br> If you miss a show live you can always catch a replay of the show you missed under my profile. To be sure you don't miss me when I go live you can follow me by going to my profile and following me.

<h2><em><strong>“Do you think you will ever do a show in……?</strong></em></h2>
<p>This is a question that I get often on breaks or after my shows on Beale Street. My response is usually that I have been thinking about venturing out but in all honesty I am not sure where would be the best markets for me to venture into. After doing some research I have decided to ask all of you to let me know where I need to focus my energy. With your help, my <a href="https://www.keyofcg.com/booking" target="_blank">website</a>, and my <a href="http://bandsintown.com/ChrisGales" target="_blank">BandInTown</a> profile I can get a visual image as to where all of you are located and the best way to get to you.</p>
<p>If you visit my <a href="http://bandsintown.com/ChrisGales">BandsInTown</a> profile and press the <a href="http://bandsintown.com/ChrisGales">“Track This Artist”</a> button it will let me know the areas where my shows are in demand. It will also alert you, the fan, when I have created a show in your area.</p>
<p>If you are planning a private event and interested in booking me yourself or if you have or know of a venue interested in having me perform you can visit my <a href="https://www.keyofcg.com/booking">website</a> and submit a <a href="https://www.keyofcg.com/booking">booking request</a>. We will negotiate a price and make it happen.</p>
<p>I can not thank all of you enough for showing me support with my music. I look forward to seeing you here or in your home towns soon. Don’t forget you can catch me at <a href="http://www.facebook.com/jklbarbeale">King Jerry Lawler’s Hall of Fame Bar and Grille</a> Daily at noon.</p>
<p>Thank you,</p>
<h2><em><strong>Chris Gales</strong></em></h2><img src="https://pixel.wp.com/b.gif?host=chrisgalesmusic.wordpress.com&blog=85199053&post=157&subd=chrisgalesmusic&ref=&feed=1" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" height="1" width="1" />Chris Galestag:keyofcg.com,2005:Post/45470102017-01-08T00:55:52-06:002017-01-12T08:13:14-06:007 Years on World Famous Beale Street<p><img src="https://chrisgalesmusic.files.wordpress.com/2017/01/photo-jul-21-5-14-57-pm-1.jpg?w=474" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="photo-jul-21-5-14-57-pm-1" /></p>
<p>I some time sit and count my blessing and one of them is the fact that I actually perform on world-famous Beale Street up to seven days a week. What is even more amazing is the fact that this year will mark the seven-year anniversary of me playing on the stage @159 Beale Street.</p>
<p>Every morning I wake up and drive to <a href="http://www.jklbarbeale.com" target="_blank">King Jerry Lawler’s Hall of Fame Bar and Grille</a> to play my guitar and sing to people from all over the world. I have made some incredible friends over the years and some fantastic fans. If you take a look around my <a href="http://facebook.com/chrisgalesmusic">Facebook</a> page you will find pictures and videos people have shared with me over the years.</p>
<p><img src="https://chrisgalesmusic.files.wordpress.com/2017/01/photo-jul-13-9-12-47-pm.jpg?w=181&h=181" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="photo-jul-13-9-12-47-pm" height="181" width="181" />One of the coolest things is when a young adult comes up on stage to take a picture with me and then shows me a picture they took with me as a kid. Makes me feel old but at the same time I have to say wow. Me doing what I love, just playing my guitar, made a lasting impression on this person.</p>
<p>One of my highschool teachers came to one of my shows recently and pointed out to me that I am an ambassador for Memphis. It did not occur to me before that moment that I am. I am usually the first live music many tourist hear when they come to Beale. The reason for this is because I am the only live music on Beale up until 2:00 pm most days.</p>
<p>Thanks to all of you who have helped me reach this milestone. Hope to see you again soon.</p>
<p>You can still catch me, Chris Gales, on a daily basis at noon at <a href="http://www.jklbarbeale.com">King Jerry Lawler’s Hall of Fame Bar and Grille</a> located at 159 Beale Street, Memphis, TN.</p><img src="https://pixel.wp.com/b.gif?host=chrisgalesmusic.wordpress.com&blog=85199053&post=124&subd=chrisgalesmusic&ref=&feed=1" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" height="1" width="1" />Chris Galestag:keyofcg.com,2005:Post/45455902017-01-01T03:16:02-06:002017-01-11T09:52:03-06:002017 Happy New Year<p>This is going to be a great year.

<p>Happy Easter!!!</p>
<p>I cannot thank all of my supporters enough. This year is turning out to be a fantastic one. CD sales are great and I am in the process of writing for my first of all originals. I am planning on having it released this summer.</p>
<p>My much loved acoustic guitar Zebra, is worn out. The frets are in bad shape so I am looking for a new work horse. I tried to play my back-up guitar a few weeks ago but some of the regulars complained that it just didn’t look or sound right. I had to agree.</p>
<p>New Chris Gales t-shirts will be for sale by May.</p>
