someone told me today that someone told him (can you see where this is going?) that he (the second guy) put my cd in his vehicle while his took his daughter somewhere the other day- sorry for the lack of details, protecting the innocent!  after a few songs, he asked her if she knew who it was and she said, “sure….i heard this on the radio yesterday.”  btw- i know both the first and second people in this story, but not the daughter.  bottom line?  very cool that this record is getting some airplay.  of course….i didn’t hear if she actually liked it!

on another note, i dvr’d something on the documentary channel last night.  it was, yep, a documentary (go figure?) of musician “amy cook” and the typical trials and tribulations of life on the road as an indie musician.  i didn’t start watching it until later and the recording was already done so i was able to stick to the good stuff and skip the “we paid for this airing so let us tell you a little about our business” spots.  first, pretty psyched that i was able to find another artist that i’m now a fan of.  second, it was very cool to see those places where the stage is sometimes where the band will fit without getting hit by darts or the occassional flying pool ball.  amy’s style, in my humble opinion, is very remeniscent of shawn colvin.  but (there’s always a “but”), even though i’m a big fan of shawn (c’mon, we share the same name….er, aside from the spelling), amy’s vocal style seems to have a much broader range and i’m pretty sure that along with that subtle voice that can certainly pull you in as you listen, there’s no doubt that she could belt out some crazy good notes on the other end of the spectrum!  i’ve just started grabbing some of her material from itunes and although i’m sure i’ll have a favorite or two, i’m still taking it all in.  go be a fan- www.amycook.com.

okay, that’s enough of me writing your eyes off for today.  plus, i’m hungry.
