A Message from Alex 9/22/2012
Linda and I will be returning to the wonderful Stone Mountain Highland Games for my 26th straight year and I am looking forward to seeing many of my fans and friends.

For those that have not heard, I have been working on a new CD and hope to have it released by the time we get to Atlanta. Titled "A Live Concert with Alex Beaton and Guests, Alasdair Fraser and Eric Rigler", it was recorded at the Costa Mesa Games in 1992 by my friend Dick McGilvery. The collection is a double CD of over two hours of song, music and lively banter. It not only includes solo performances but I team up with master fiddler Alasdair Fraser for "The Battle's O'er" and the world renowned piper, Eric Rigler, joins Alasdair and myself for "A Song for Ireland". I have been working with my close friend, Randy Farrar, to produce the CD and I am excited to see it released.

On a personal note, the many cards, letters and emails of encouragement from my friends and fans are a continuing source of cheer and inspiration to me and I thank you all for your kind words. And your continuing donations to the Alex Beaton Rehabilitation Fund are a blessing to both Linda and I.
