Blog Aweigh folks! It works!

My wife heard my band on the radio the other day.  She said "Jon, I heard 'Mack the Knife' played on the [old fogey] radio station.  I thought it sounded familiar.  After the song was over the radio announcer said the name of the band, and ...you played on that CD didn't you?" 

"Yes dear, I played on that recording." 

Hey, it's nice to hear that our music is being played. 

Another time my mom called me and said "Jon, I heard your CD played on the radio... I got so excited that I called the radio station and told them that He is My son!"  (Mind you, this record was being played in Clear Lake, Iowa, half a country away from where I live.)  Hey, I like it when that happens!  I get residuals every time my CD is played. 

I recently checked my site at TheOrchard.com and found out that my music has been downloaded in Germany, Japan, Australia and basically all over the world.  I was really surprised to see that!

Then the other day my wife told me that she did a Google search for something - I forget what it was - but she said that my Active Rain blog came up as the #1 search.

Hey, I was thrilled!  I must be doing something right.
