Okay, here’s the deal…
In the sidebar to my left, there’s a big new icon. It says “The Real World.” Click on it to download a new previously unreleased song called – you guessed it! – “The Real World.” (Written and performed by me. Of course.)
Follow the instructions from there.
And if you feel like giving a gratitude donation for this song or for the last song or for this blog, then you can click here and do that so easily on PayPal.
Thanks for being my loyal readers!
Christine,
I have been a fan for years and years, ever since my good friend Karen Reynolds had me listen to you. I have bought all of your cd’s over the years and then had some of my friends listen to you. But, I have never lived in a area where you played live. Which is why I am so excited I now live near Vienna Va and can now come see you in October. YEAHHHH oh and by the way… this song is so beautiful. See you in October
for those experiencing the mystery of the “invisible free download banner”… use this link:
https://christinekane.com/free-download
also, try refreshing… there’s two ways to “force refresh” (1) hold shift while clicking “Refresh” (or “Reload” for non-Explorer users) (2) hold Ctrl (control button) and press F5
i’ve tweaked the code (just guessing really) and i can’t understand why some do NOT see the banner.
any details that may lead to solving this mystery would be much appreciated…
ps: hats off to the non-Explorer users 🙂 — you are getting a BETTER web-experience as well as a MUCH more secure web-experience…
amy’s girl, thanks for the donation. I so appreciate that!
casey, amy’s girl and tammy, I don’t know why this is only happening for some people. i’ll have webguy look at it. Click here, and it should take you right to the free download.
I am just back from vacation, I see you offer. I don’t see the big icon on the left. Has it been deleted?

Hi!
I don’t see that new icon anywhere!?? I’d really like to download the song, but alas, perhaps I am blind??? Anyway, I did make a teeny donation to say thanks, if even I never find that download link. I wish it could be more, but we can barely put gas in the car or food on the table right now. However, you have been such a blessing to us and I see anything we give as seed for your continued success and seed for our own prosperity. Blessed be!
Hi! I saw you at the Diane Wortham the night you recorded the DVD. For the life of me, I’m not seeing any icon on this page with “The real world” on it and am diappointed I can’t hear your new song. Please help. Thanks, Casey
thanks connie! hopefully the cd’s are already there…
hey nancycz – i actually thought of the email you wrote to me when we were deciding which song to choose for the next free download. it was a toss up between this and a live version of “she don’t like roses.” and i remembered what you had written after the lake placid show – so you decided it!
hi elaine – i haven’t announced the pre-order thingee – but it’s up there now!
hi kristen – right now my next (and only) west coast date is september 22 at the freight & salvage in berkeley, ca. can you make it?
That song is absolutely beautiful! After hearing a couple of songs, I’m hooked and am ordering some CDs.
Also, do you ever tour the West Coast at all?
Best wishes,
Kristen
Duh!! ignore last post – just been to your store!! Typical of me should have looked first!!
Are you taking pre-orders for you new CD?? Just a though…I’d love to buy it now in readiness!!
No WAY! First, I have loved this song since I heard you do it in Lake Placid. Just now I was sitting at my computer and said, “Hm… I want to hear that song.” I dug my DVD out of my bag and was about to load it when I said, “Oh, I should check on CK’s blog.” And now it’s 99% done downloading. Hooray! Thanks for putting this up… it’s definitely on my list of favs (along with pretty much everything else)! Have a great weekend.
I am a new fan! This is so absolutely beautiful that words do not adequately describe the feelings this song invokes! I have ordered a couple of CD’s and am anxiously awaiting their arrival. Thanks!!!
I knew you were going to say that! 😀
hi caren, thanks much for your kind words AND your donation. that’s very kind. (and you know that you don’t have to rely on your psychic abilities, don’t you? you can subscribe to this blog by clicking on that orange symbol on the top of the right side bar!)
thanks kay! i’m glad to hear that…
thanks fivecats!
hi elaine! i have one new song that makes my cat walk out of the room every time i play it. and i always wonder if he’s trying to tell me something!
hey dave – you’re welcome and thank you right back for your generous donation!
Wish there was somewhere on the paypal donation page to leave a personal message to you with the donation!
Thanks for being you.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and insights and truth.
Thanks for doing it with words: written, spoken and sung.
Thanks for doing it with music.
Thanks for inspiring me.
Thanks for being you, and doing it so well.
cheers
What a beautiful song Christine so poetic – thank you. Ashley my cat loves it too… he keeps lying on my PC keyboard whilst I’m listening!
Can’t wait for the CD!!
This loyal fan says, “thanks!”
…
This may be my favorite song of ALL your songs!!! It is poetry, a painting, and music all in one. I sometimes watch your DVD just to hear this one!! Thanks for the download!
Donation is on its way!!! THANK YOU for such a beautiful song.
Oh, yeah – I started to write something about Yay for you! for suggesting a donation, then decided the best way to say that would be to donate! I really like the wording on Your donation page! Well said.

Ahhh… thanks, Christine. I’m with Meg – it *is* a wonderful way to start my day!
Did you know I’m psychic with your blog? I can hover my mouse over your blog in my bookmarks list, and I know whether or not you have a new entry! I haven’t been wrong yet. 😉
thanks meg!
What a wonderful way to start my day! This song just takes me to a different place, and what a nice place it is!
Now I have a new on-my-way-home-from-work song!
Thanks so much for sharing the song, and for letting us know you’ve got another CD coming soon! (I almost wrote “album” – how dated!)
You go, Christine!
