It's fun to report that the CD Aboriginal Angel has been requested by radio stations all over the world, with CDs shipped to the following countries: Central African Republic: Joy Radio 89.6 FM Netherlands: Radio 0162 Estonia: Eesi Raadio Columbia: UIS Stereo Australia: Valley FM 89.5; PBS FM; Radio 3ZZZ; 2NVR 105.9FM; 93.3FM; Radio Fremantle 107.9FM; Triple H 96.5FM New Zeland: Soundwave FM France: Virus De Blues Italy: Radio Gold Popular Network Macedonia: Radio 2, 94.1FM Radio Germany: Radio Kanal…

I have uploaded 6 songs to AmieStreet.com. This is a music downloading site that has a very interesting approach to rewarding music buyers and to helping unknown artists get recognition for their music. When a song is first uploaded by an artist to AmieStreet.com anyone can buy it for free, but as more people buy it, the purchase price of the song rises. For example, the first 14 buyers will get the song for free, but the 15th buyer will have to pay 1 cent (since the song is now a bit more popular)…

I received a very nice review by Dan MacIntosh (of www.Indi-Music.com). He compares me to: Roger McGuinn (of the Byrds), John McLaughlin (in Mahavishnu Orchestra), and folk singer/songwriter Gordon LIghtfoot. For excerpts of review and link to complete review, go to my Press area.

SongVault.fm is a website where artists can post up to 3 songs without charge and then listeners vote on them. SongVault contains 4 tiers. Songs enter at tier-1 (Showcase Radio) and if they survive that tier, then they get moved up to tier-2 (Indie Hit Radio) which has a maximum of 100 songs within a given genre. If they survive that tier then after a while they get moved up to tier-3 (Top Hits Radio) with a max of 50 songs within a given genre. If they survive tier-3 then songs can ultimately make it…

After producing 3 CDs of folk-rock songs, I have composed my first strictly instrumental solo guitar piece, titled "Hummingbird in Flight". It is inspired by Rimsky-Korsakoff's "The Flight of the Bumble Bee". I hope you find it interesting. Let me know what you think. For more info. on this instrumental piece, click on its title in the music area. It is NOT part of any CD so I can change it at will and I welcome any comments or observations. I replaced the previous version with a new arrangement on…

At this site I have 3 songs available for streaming. For the first time I checked that site's music charts to see how my songs were doing (on this date of 6/11/07). Using the filters: This-Month, Most-Played, All-Regions (of the world), and the category of Folk, my song "Sun Beneath the Ground" was ranked #1 (!) and under the Folk-Rock category it was ranked #7, which is also quite gratifying. Thanks to all of you who went to that site to listen to my songs! (These rankings are only for songs posted…

I was interviewed live (over the phone) by an internet radio station: ArtistFirst World Radio Network, on Tuesday, May 22, and some tracks from my CD "Aboriginal Angel" were also played. To hear this 1-hour long interview+songs, go to my Music area.

I received a very nice email from Douglas Newsom, the Co-Founder & CEO of BBSRadio.com. He said "I really enjoyed your music. The more I listened, the more I liked..." and he said that several songs (Our Unwinding Time, 'Mid Moss-Covered Boulders, Down to the Shore Tonight) "... will spin on the network." So please check out BBSRadio!

I have noticed music clips of all artists, that Amazon.com makes available, are of not very good quality. iTunes quality is better. The clips at both Amazon and iTunes are only 30 seconds long.  The clips of my songs at my website and at CDBaby.com are at least 2 minutes in length.

If you go to the Music area, you can now hear 2-minute samples of each song and if you click on a song title you will be able to see its lyrics. This CD is now available for purchase at CDBaby.com.
