Grinning from ear to ear

I recently sent out my second newsletter. Almost a month later to the day. Anyway, it went out to about 10,000 people. And included lyrics to a new song I just finished. I also invited people to join a Street Team to help promote my music. I’d heard about a country artist recently whose fan club president was caught encouraging members to lie. What was interesting to me was the impact 16 people had in getting her music on the radio. I wonder what a group of people who have no need to hide their passion for American values could do. We’re gonna find out.

I got way more responses than I was expecting, and everyone had the most amazing things to say. I believe I’m witnessing the birth of a community and it’s incredibly exciting on so many levels. It’s also quite a confirmation that there are others who are willing to do some of the work to get a message out to the world.
