From DORISDAYTRIBUTE.COM:
Doris Day is currently doing a select amount of press to continue to promote the release of her new US album “My Heart“, as well as to publicize the new cds  released for her birthday this year. In addition she helped to promote the week-long tribute to her movies on TCM (Turner Classic Movies on television.)  American fans can look forward to even  more  great exposure which started appearing the week of thanksgiving and the week following (just prior to the release of the new album). As any Day devotee will know,  it’s rare for the star to do press so we think it’s truly wonderful that she’s so passionate about a "return" to the limelight after so many years!

Below is a list of some of the publicity recorded. Keep posted for more news as we get it:
