HAVE A GREAT MEMORIAL DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

<p><strong>HEY, JUST WANTED TO WISH ALL MY FELLOW AMERICANS HERE A HAPPY AND SAFE MEMORIAL DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! <img src="images/smilies/face-grin.png" border="0" alt="grin" title="grin" /></strong></p>
<p><strong>SORRY I HAVEN&acute;T BEEN AROUND MUCH, BUT WE LOST A GREAT BASS PLAYER AND GOOD FRIEND RECENTLY, AND HAVE HAD TO BREAK IN A NEW GUY, WHICH MEANT A LOT OF REHEARSALS FOR THE GIGS AND FESTIVALS WE&acute;VE BEEN DOING EVERY WEEKEND. AND NOW THIS NEW GUY IS GOING ON TOUR WITH A MAJOR ACT HERE IN GERMANY, SO THAT MEANS FINDING ANOTHER GUY TO DO THE GIGS IN JUNE-JULY-AUGUST. I&acute;VE ALSO BEEN DOING A LOT OF MIXES AND MASTERS FOR ARTISTS ON MY SPACE. THE HIP HOP ARTIST DUTTY DEVISIOSO JUST SENT ME ANOTHER 3 SONGS TO MIX AND MASTER THIS WEEK, AND BEFORE THAT I HAD DONE 18 OTHER SONGS FOR HIM. HIS CD WILL BE COMING OUT IN THE NEXT MONTHS AND IT&acute;S REALLY GOOD. I&acute;VE ALSO MET A FANTASTIC FEMALE SINGER-SONGWRITER THAT HAS A DEAL WITH SONY/REDD AND WARNER CHAPPEL PUBLISHING, THAT WANTS TO COLLAB WITH ME, AND HAVE ME DO REMIXES OF SOME OF HER EXISTING SONGS. HER NAME IS LA MENGA KAFI, AND SHE&acute;S ALSO ON MY SPACE AS WELL.. SO AS YOU CAN SEE, I HAVEN&acute;T HAD A WHOLE LOT OF TIME LATELY.</strong></p>
<p><strong>ALSO, I&acute;VE DONE IT AGAIN, I&acute;M IN THE THE QUARTER FINALS AT OURSTAGE AGAIN, BUT IN 2 GENRES THIS TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D<br />MY "DICARLO BEATS &amp; SONG SNIPPETS" ARE #5 IN THE DJ BEATS GENRE, AND "ATHENA&acute;S WISH" IS #5 IN THE ROCK INSTRUMENTAL GENRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D</strong></p>
<p><strong>THE JUDGING FOR THE QUARTER FINALS STOPS ON MAY 29. </strong></p>
<p><strong>SEMI FINALS START ON MAY 29 </strong></p>
<p><strong>AND THE FINALS ARE ON MAY 31. THE #1 PRIZE IS $5,000. <br /></strong></p>
<p><strong>AS USUAL, MY SONGS ARE ALWAYS STRONG ENOUGH TO REACH THE QUARTER AND SEMI FINALS, AND IT&acute;S HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS, SO I NEED ALL THE VOTES I CAN GET!!!!!!!! <br /><br />SO IF YOU GOT SOME SPARE TIME, I&acute;D APPRECIATE THE SUPPORT. :D<br />www.ourstage.com</strong></p>
<p><strong>AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, I HAD A FRIEND ASK ME TO VOTE FOR HIM ON ANOTHER SITE CALLED www.musicnation.com, AND SINCE I HAD TO REGISTER TO VOTE, I DECIDED TO MAKE A PAGE THERE, AND ENDED UP ENTERING A CONTEST SPONSORED BY SPIN MAGAZINE AND HENNESSEY. I JOINED THERE 6 DAYS AGO, WAS #447 IN THE CONTEST, AND TODAY I&acute;M #53!!!!!! 1ST PRIZE IS A RECORD DEAL WITH SIGNAL/EPIC (SONY). I DOUBT I&acute;LL WIN, BECAUSE THERE&acute;S SOME VERY TALENTED ARTISTS ON THE SITE, AND SOME EVEN HAVE TOTALLY PROFESSIONAL MTV LIKE VIDEOS. A LOT OF YOUNG NEW INDIE ARTISTS HUNGRY TO GET A DEAL. LOL TO BE HONEST, I&acute;M QUITE SURPRISED AT THE SUCCESS I&acute;VE HAD SO FAR. BUT THE REAL HEAD ON HEAD BATTLES START LATER, AND I DON&acute;T KNOW HOW WELL I&acute;LL DO AGAINST THE PRO VIDEOS, ETC. MANY OF YOU HERE HAVE SEEN THE VIDEO OF MARGOT MC DONALD. WELL, THERE&acute;S A MILLION MARGOT MC DONALDS, AND YOUNG BANDS WITH THE SAME QUALITY MUSIC AND PRO VIDEOS OUT THERE TRYING TO MAKE A NAME FOR THEMSELVES. IT&acute;S PRETTY SCARY TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH. LOL<br /></strong></p>
<p><strong>ANYWAY, I HOPE ALL OF YOU ARE STAYING HEALTHY AND DOING WELL. HAVE A GREAT MEMORIAL DAY!!!!!!!!!<br /><br />PEACE, <br />DICARLO</strong></p>
