Thanksgiving Day

I have many things to be thankful for, but more than anything I am thankful for my family. I have an amazing wife who puts up with a third kid in the house and always does it with a smile. I have two kids that help us remember what is most important in life. They have taught me more than I think I’ll ever teach them. It’s hard to believe that Kallie was born two years ago and continues to learn and grow more each day. Tyler continues to grow into a "little man" and constantly amazes me with his excitement for learning and the maturity he usually shows by taking care of his little sister.

I am also thankful for such wonderful parents and in laws who are close by and always willing to help watch the kids.

I am grateful for the good health we have all enjoyed over the past year, for a job that I love and the opportunity it gives me each day to help many people.

I am also grateful for the freedom and safety which we enjoy in our country. I am thankful for the opportunity to worship as we please and for the chance we have to all be together again as a family in the next life if we make good choices and decisions.

New Website Launched
My sister and webmaster Jennifer worked extremely hard and was able to launch my new website late last night. She did a great job and there are now mp3s available to listen to on the site. We are working hard so that you will also be able to download some of the mp3s as well. In addition to the new site, 2 days ago I started running advertisements on facebook to increase traffic to the site. The internet is amazing... Right now I am bringing in about 40 people to my site per day that have never heard of my music In just 2 days of running ads, I have had two requests to do concerts and book orders continue to come in. I am adding new stores almost daily, which is awesome! If you know of music stores that should carry my books, please email me the name of the store so that I can call them. Jason

The New Book is Here!
My new book Favorite LDS Piano Solos by Jason Tonioli is now available to purchase at www.tonioli.com. The first day I was able to ship over $1,700 in books to music stores across the country. This wouldn't have been possible without the help of friends, family and fans. Thank you! I'd love to hear any feedback you have about the new book!

Original CD release now available for download
I just finished uploading all of the original songs from my first recorded album, Wedding Day. This album was burned on my home computer back in 2000 and I sold around 100 copies. When I recorded most of these songs, I did it through a tape recorder and old stereo so the sound quality isn't great, but its not awful. I thought it would be fun to share them with everyone and make them free. When I come up with the $5,000 or so needed to record a new album in the studio, and have a quality recording to share, then I might consider charging. Until then, enjoy the music I've posted and feel free to share it with your friends and family. Jason
