PapaLee’s Amazing June
June has been the most amazing month of my entire life! My gorgeous wife Maria Elena Lee just gave birth (at home) to our beautiful daughter Lily Kathryn Lee on Wednesday June 9, 2010 at 4:58 pm. Here’s a picture of my gals literally seconds after Lily’s arrival.

First of all, take a moment to notice how gorgeous Maria looks… okay, that’s enough.
Also, this week my debut album SOULvival is released on digital outlets worldwide, and on my website at www.papaleemusic.com.
Both are getting INCREDIBLE reviews! Please don’t keep it a secret, post a link to it on your blog or facebook page, and let’s get this thing rollin! Lily’s got a lot of growing to do, and I think we gotta put her through school and stuff like that. So she’s SERIOUSLY counting on us ALL to make it happen. More pictures and updates to come.
Be blessed AND a blessing
PapaLee - Hey that’s me!

Oh my gosh…They are both so beautiful.Congratulations. What a blessing. Cherish this for as long as you can as they grow so quick. Hard to believe that my daughter is 30 already. Maria looks like she is ready to go out for the day, not like she just had a baby. You are blessed and have a great future ahead. Take care, Cynthia

Hey Hanford,
Congratulations on both blessed events! Your daughter is beautiful and so is your CD!
Every song is a masterpiece! Wow! I couldn’t stop listening. Great voice, great music, great songs! To say I was moved and impressed would be a gross understatement!
Good luck, or as the say in Japan “Ganbatte”(good luck; never give up!).
If everyone else enjoys your new CD as much as I did, the sky is the limit!
