Ron Olesko promotion of your trad CDs in US (47) RE: promotion of your trad CDs in US 13 Feb 03


Thanks Deni! I look forward to seeing it.

Good luck to you too Jimmyt!   Not knowing which show or the producer/host you are listening to, I can tell you from experience that it isn't as easy as it seems.   Radio shows can get deluged with CD's, and sometimes the music just doesn't fit the format. Some radio hosts do have a hard time telling artists why they don't like something.   I try to be honest, but I always remind the artist it is just one opinion and one show.   

I just came back from the Folk Alliance conference in Nashville. I was overwhelmed with the number of DJ's/Program hosts who attended - shows from Alaska, Hawaii and most states in the U.S. were represented - at least 50 attended a Folk DJ luncheon. There were also over 1000 performers at the conference all trying to catch the attention of a presenter or media type. I really feel for them.   I was glad to hear a number of artists that I can't wait to play on my show. I only wish I were on 5 days a week!

Ron
