I recently sent Mike K an mp3 of the demo of one of my new songs, "Burning House". He trotted it out last week on "Saturday Night Rocks", and from what I'm told, the response to it was pretty good.<br /><br />Check out tonight (11/1), see what YOU think, then tell me about it! If y'all like it, I'll go ahead and upload it to my page...<br /><br />-TJ

Road” being added to… er, some kind of playlist on the Clear Channel network,
“Blue Sky Lightning” has made the grade, as well! This one is especially
gratifying, because “Blue Sky Lightning” is the one that means the most to me.
Seriously, if I were to fall off a subway platform tomorrow, “Blue Sky” is the
song I’d want to be remembered by. Not that I think that’ll happen, I’m just
sayin’…</span></span></span></span></p>

folks at Clear Channel:</span> </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial; color: navy; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: navy; font-family: Arial;">Your song has been
added to NEW!, which exposes your music to more than 10 MILLION PEOPLE PER MONTH
on nearly 500 radio station web sites across the country!</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #ffff00;"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">I just like seeing that… anyway, the
amount of broadcast airplay that “Blue Sky” gets is a direct function of the
number of plays it gets on the website. So, please… <em><span style="font-style: italic;">por favor</span></em>… <em><span style="font-style: italic;">s'il vous plait</span></em>… </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">pass one
of the following two links on to all of your friends, family, acquaintances and
associates who enjoy good music, and ask them to do the
same!</span></span></span></p>

<p>Hey, thanks for the comments about the Clear Channel thing. It's pretty cool, especially since I didn't know anyone was submitting the tune. If you get a minute, would you mind forwarding the link on to people you know? Maybe ask them to do the same? It's...</p>

submitted “Rules of the Road” (i.e., the title cut of my CD) to the Clear
Channel:</span></span></p>
