Hi Jamie:

You are absolutely incorrect, everyone 's bio on the list should be 
interesting to all of us, simply because it helps us musicians better define our 
audience and beneficial friends and followers of OKOM.

Also the fact that you are the editor of a music publication, should 
certainly be interesting to any and all band leaders looking to book gigs and sell CDs 
and further their careers, even if you did nothing more than spread the good 
news about OKOM and bought an occassional CD or tape or T-shirt or just passed 
on an encouraging word that caused some musician not to give up in this very 
difficult business.

That little printed word of encouragement might someday turn out to be the 
one thing that caused some great performer to push and claw their way to the top 
of the pile and become an Allstar in their own right.

You can bet I am interested in your bio, and you will soon hear from me about 
musical activities.

Thanks  for posting yours,

Tom Wiggins
