You never know who will show up on this list folks which is why you should 
always keep a positive attitude and be willing to go that extra mile which might 
net you airplay on a radio station and lead to a paid tour or gig.

"Nothing ventured nothing gained"

My CDs are on their way to him Global Priority and I am already working on 
setting up a tour in Brazil, now I have radio air play to help it happen on at 
least One station, that's still how it happens folks one step at a time, one 
radio, one newspaper, one television, one gig, one successful show followed by 
more of the same and in about 15 years you become an over night success in 
places other than your local shopping mall or pizza parlor once a month on old 
folks night.


On this list we have very valuable friends in many countries to help us when 
we need it, Tito layed back and checked this one out for the sceptics on the 
list.  The early bird gets the worm however.  I have no problem throwing out a 
bit of bird food to attract the Birds to take the Bait used to catch the Big 
Fish. So to speak.

While some of you will be freezing your tucuses off  in six feet of snow I'll 
be partying in Brazil with the oba oba girls,  and drinking cold beer with 
Tito in the Sun, eat your hearts out.

Cheers,
