<p><span style="font-size: small;">A big congrats to Ked aka The Polar Bear! Ked has been working on a lot of music lately and has just taken the checkered flag! As many of you know, Ked is a big Race Fan and a lot of his songs have a racing theme. Ked is now being featured with </span><a href="http://www.theaccelerationarchive.co.uk/acag/acag.html"><span style="font-size: small;">Allard Chrysler Action Group!</span></a><span style="font-size: small;"> For those of you who are not familiar with this, it happens to be the group that is Restoring </span><span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Europe’s oldest dragster - the 1961 Allard Chrysler. </span></span></span></p><p><span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">The below is from the website and it discusses the new tune Ally Blue . You will notice that Nick Mason was also involved. Yes that is the same Nick Mason from Pink Floyd. Please take a moment and read this incredible article. Way to go Ked and thanks for being a part of Mixposure!</span></span></span></p><p> </p><p style="margin-right: 20px; margin-left: 20px;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Sam Eidy of Michigan engine builder Booth Arons has been a complete Ally project addict since his company first became involved in the restoration of Europe’s oldest dragster - the 1961 Allard Chrysler built by Sydney Allard. Shortly after Booth Arons was appointed the official engine builders for the project, and between locating and chasing down parts suppliers, Sam found himself doodling out some lyrics about the car to the tune of ‘Alley Oop’. Although originally written for a comic strip of the same name by Dallas Frazier who recorded it in 1957, the ‘Alley Oop’ version by the Hollywood Argyles in 1960 is probably the most well known because it made Number 1 in the Billboard Hot 100. But it has also been recorded by other artists such as the Beach Boys and George Thorougood and is familiar to most rock music fans of a ‘certain age’.</strong></span></span></p> <p style="margin-right: 20px; margin-left: 20px;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Sam e-mailed his new lyrics to others involved with the restoration to get comments, and Project 1320 Chairman Traci Hrudka (Co-Patron of the Allard Chrysler Action Group) sent them on to her guitar playing friend Ked (the Polar Bear) Dieter in Canada whose song Thunder in the Distance by KED and Big Blue Hammer was (and still is) being used on the Project 1320 website. Ked is also Vice President of Mixposure’s MixStreamRadio.</strong></span></span></p> <p style="margin-right: 20px; margin-left: 20px;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong><img src="http://www.theaccelerationarchive.co.uk/acag/ally_blue/images/KED_live.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="128" height="270" align="left" />A rocker through and through, he normally plays a 95 Gibson LesPaul guitar. But an avid ‘guitar hot-rodder’, and a pro level luthier and guitar technician, he has another ten guitars in his collection, including a unique replica of a Gibson Flying V solid guitar. </strong></span></span></p> <p style="margin-right: 20px; margin-left: 20px;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Being a drag racing and stock car fan he was immediately hooked by the restoration project and Sam’s lyrics. He made contact with Sam and they set about re-working the lyrics, melody and arrangement so there would be no copyright infringements, and laid down a new version of the song that featured Ked’s rocking guitar and vocals plus a Beach Boy styled harmony by Mack Sanders. Ked produced the work and played all the other instruments.</strong></span></span></p> <p style="margin-right: 20px; margin-left: 20px;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>This was e-mailed around interested parties (including ACAG Co-Patron Nick Mason) who added their own suggestions about the arrangement and mix, resulting in the final version including sounds of the Allard Chrysler recorded in 1964 at Blackbushe in England, plus the voices of Gerry Belton, Sydney Allard and Tommy Ivo recorded at the same meeting. Hence Ally Blue; a unique piece of music about Ally that can be used by the ACAG for promotional purposes to help raise funds.</strong></span></span></p> <p style="margin-right: 20px; margin-left: 20px;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>It currently features on the 'About ACAG' page of this website and will be used in electronic press release activity. Not only that, it is now available as a download direct via <a target="_self">www.kedrecords.com</a>. A Pay Pal facility is available and half the download fee of 99 cents (US) goes to the Allard Chrysler dragster restoration fund. The song’s lyrics are also laid out in detail.</strong></span></span></p> <p style="margin-right: 20px; margin-left: 20px;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>At the moment Ked is re-painting his replica Flying V in Allard Chrysler colours, as an extra tribute to Sydney Allard and his important role in spreading drag racing across the Atlantic. We’ll publish photos when it has been completed.</strong></span></span></p><p style="margin-right: 20px; margin-left: 20px;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Written By</strong></span></span></p><p style="margin-right: 20px; margin-left: 20px;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Brian Taylor</strong></span></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: medium;">So right now Mixposure uses popup audio players while many sites out there use embedded audio players. We have always had the ability to do this but I have just not done it. The reason is pretty simple. Typically I listen to songs and may navigate away from the page I am listening from. On most sites, you lose the song you are listening to. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">So I have debated on embedding the audio players and leaving a popup link as well. This way you can choose either. But before I start coding this, I thought I would see what most people prefer. Does it matter? Do you like the popup audio player better? Prefer embedded instead? Any other features you are looking for?</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Thanks for your help!</span></p><p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Another avenue for musical creations. Two of my songs, It Was A Trip and Alerro. were selected as the intro and outro for an Audio Book thriller series called Dead Hunt by Kenn Crawford. The audio book has been getting a lot of play which means each time a chapter is heard, the listener also hears my songs and I'm credited and linked as the songwriter of them. Just another avenue for musical creations and exposure.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">Below is a promo and link to Kenn's Audio Book, Dead Hunt. If you take a listen you'll hear my songs, It Was A Trip as the intro and Alerro as the outro.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">Cheers!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">Farrell Jackson</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">===========================================================</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">Off the coast of Nova Scotia on a remote island, a lonely scientist, a powerful computer, a simple mistake. Unleashes a new threat, somewhere in the hills of Margaree.<br /><br />“Dead Hunt” is Kenn Crawford’s chilling tale of a desperate father’s undying love, a daughter frozen in time, and the small group of teens trapped in the aftermath.<br /><br />“Everyone makes mistakes. Some are small, some are bigger. My father’s mistake, born of an innocent heart and fueled by sadness, was the greatest mistake. Some thought the death of his little girls drove him to the point of insanity; some thought he was trying to be God. But, this is not how it happened. The truth is, he wanted to save me. To give me life. And, in doing so, everyone was doomed.” ~Robin<br /><br />Music by Farrell Jackson, Tom Storms, Gregory Cain & Kenn Crawford</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">http://deadhunt.kenncrawford.com/</span></p>
