Adventures of the Musical Pork Chop

Busy day today - an article made it onto the front page of the Daily Progress this morning - it's online here: http://www.dailyprogress.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=CDP%2FMGArticle%2FCDP_BasicArticle&c=MGArticle&cid=1149189239888&path=!news

Had an interview on a local talk radio show this morning - WINA 1070 - "Live with Dick & Jane", only one of them was named Rob... It was good though, they were excited and asked good questions and I got a chance to really put the word out there. Hopefully someone was listening... It was good rehearsal though for when the regional and national media get interested - I have had some good responses from a PBS station and another Virginia newspaper... fingers crossed.

One of the local "arts" papers had an article about the Top 20 givers in our area today - so I wrote them for the Nth time telling them about SongSharing and what I/we have been doing since 1994. Honestly, I think they think what I do is "cute", but not about music or the arts or the community or entertainment or whatever the heck it needs to be about to get them to write something. A private performance from Paul Rishell and Annie Raines at The Cedars skilled nursing facility seems to me to cover a lot of what they say they are about. What do I know?

Anyway, since 2003 R.E.M. has supported our efforts from way down in Athens Georgia - we'll have to get down and do some volunteer shows soon! Richard Shindell sent us CD's for theTroops in 2003. I am confident that what we have accomplished and what we are doing now will garner some extremely positive and lucrative attention for SongSharing.

I spoke to Thomas Gunn today - www.thomasgunnmusic.com - and he was excited to hear about the growth phase we are coming into. He has been doing volunteer shows since back in 2002 or so, and was part of the first public concert we threw at Live Arts to promote the organization. We got our first sponsors because of that show, and it demonstrated to me that SongSharing is a viable idea.

That's that - spread the word about the land barter and SongSharing - thanks!

Dance In the Moment,

Greg
