I co-hosted Thanksgiving dinner with new friends (see my buddy Wil's Blog "When There's Wil, There's Always A Way"). And, I got the opportunity to mix old and new friends together over the holiday weekend.
And, I brought my CD, "The J Sessions - Wishin'" to our local CD store in Provincetown, Muir Music, so the owner could give a listen and determine whether it would 'fit' in with her other CDs for sale.
While she gave it a listen, I went to the beach.
There was no one else there, but me. It was beautiful, sunny and windy. I walked out for 40 minutes. I stood up on a dune and raised my arms and flew . . .
When I got back to the car, I had a voice mail that the owner of Muir Music had not just given me the 'thumbs up' to sell it at her store, BUT she said she loved my voice, loved 'the band' (thanks to "The Flying Cowboys", I couldn't have done it without you) and she wanted to buy more copies of the CD to sell.
Now, I've got my own 'slot' in the local artist's section. And, these are no ordinary slots, but instead are 5 CD deep squares that 'display' the CD at eye level.
So, there I am with the likes of Zoe Lewis and Peter Donnelly. She loved the packaging, too. And, she hung the poster outside her door.
Wishin' . . . sometimes it pays off.
Okay! Okay! And, I'm becoming shameless at self-promotion!
Sincerely, thanks for your continued interest and support.

There is no such thing as shameless self-promotion when you're a talented musician/singer/songwriter. If you don't do it, no one will do it for you. Great job getting your music out there. It's good stuff.
Its Wil. It's having issues logging me in so I just published the comment under anonymous.
Thanks, Wil . . . due to very recent events, I really needed to hear that ALL. And, yes, I know it's true, but it's sometimes hard when you think you can melt hearts when instead you've succeeded in only steeling their hearts harder. Of course, then there's the passing of time . . . time heals all wounds . . . =:-)
Well, congratulations! This is great news and very well-deserved.
May there be many more CDs in your future.
