Gene Mitchell (a fine Florida trop-rocker that a lot of y’all have heard) has a new CD called CHRISTMAS IN PARADISE. It is the FIRST trop-rock Christmas CD of all original songs and is now available at Gene’s Website http://SailorBoyRecords.com/ and available for download on iTunes. (search iTunes for “Christmas In Paradise”) I have listened to it and like it. (I also like a lot of Gene’s music) If you want to check out clips of the songs, follow this link http://www.genemitchell.com/christmasinparadise.htm
