Hi there,

Just an update about having our song on the NPR All songs considered, open mic. Our score is at 4.012 right now, which is really great considering people could rate from 1 to 5. Thanks to all of you that took the time to check it out and vote. There was one group with more votes, Curtis Eller's American Circus. They must have a great following, this appears to be there 4th cd. All the cds on the site were really worthy efforts and it was very nice to be in such good company.

Anyway, the reason I am writing is to encourage people to listen to the site and to submit their cds (instructions on the site). I have no idea if this made any difference for us on the national scene, afterall we are basically a regional band. But, it has really been great for our local recognition. People that have known about our band for ages, sort of took more notice of us. Relative that are not into music, were impressed (personally gratifying).

I really encourage you to check out the site and the various stages (we are on stage 9) because there are some great groups up there,and it is fun to support local and regional artists around the country.

Claire
