Joined: August 2002 Posts: 8307 Location: Tennessee | It's just a proud papa thing, but my son's song (he's a Marine currently doing his second tour in Iraq) got picked up and is going to be on an album being released on November 11th. The label is planning a MONSTER (in their words) PR campaign in support of the record, and have hired a top firm to lead the way. So now I get to deal with the lawyers, agents, and press people while he's still overseas. The coolest part is that there is money involved ... we retain all rights to the music and get royalties from publishing, record distribution and airplay. I also get to be involved in a little way since I produced the track and played some on it. Sorry ... no Ovations were used, but we used two Hamers -- does that count? | ||

Everybody, Bobbo played this tune for me a month ago. It's outstanding. 2 chords and the truth. It doesn't get any better than that..... | ||

Well, at least he recorded wearing a coconut bra...he DID record wearing a coconut bra, didn't he?!?! Pass along the official OFC pat on the back from all of us for everything he's doing. | ||

Joined: August 2002 Posts: 8307 Location: Tennessee | Hey, thanks everybody for the kind words. Much appreciated. gh1, yeah that was the thread that sort of got this whole thing rolling. I'll let you all know when the CD gets released and how you can find it. Release date is Nov 11th. For a small agent's fee, I can arrange for autographed copies. ;) I did find a pic his girlfriend took of him with the Ovation he likes to play most ... thanks Tuppy. Oh, and Tuppy, I don't care if you want to beat ME out of the five cents, but you shouldn't screw with a Marine whose job is to fire a bullet into a target a mile away. :eek: | ||
