The song, Something Special, was selected by hardcoremix.com for rotation. They billed it as a “Hot New Song” and kaboom – did it ever take off. Four days of air play and the song was #4 on the Hardcoremix.com Chart. An additional five days in rotation and when the new chart came out on Aug. 20th – Something Special was #2. On Aug. 27th - It topped the Chart - where, thanks to the efforts of Indie Fans and the hardwork of hardcoremix.com personnel, it remained for 9 Full Weeks. On Oct. 7th, 2007 it slid back to #2 on the Chart and on Oct. 14th - it fell to #4. But, a great new song had shot into the #2 position after being on the Charts gfor 11days - Moon Dog House by our friends Gandalf Murphy & The Slambovian Circus of Dreams. Way to go GANDALF !!!!!
This is a source of really huge excitement for a musician that is stone cold broke. To be able to record a CD with virtually no money in your pocket and then to watch as the press and listening public embrace it. Its’ as if they are saying its o.k. that you’re broke – we wanted to hear songs – not the latest sounds produced by the most expensive foot pedals that money can buy.
Fans, music listeners, musicians, and industry professionals – you have all been incredibly inspirational. Not one of you said I couldn’t do it. Think about that – isn’t it amazing – not one individual said, “Wait – you can’t make a CD with no money.” Not one of you turned it into an elitist game. I have yet to pick up a feature, or review, that says ‘ if only he had x amount of this, in combination with x amount of that, he could have ect.,ect., ect.
No, all I got was commentary on the songs. “Refreshingly different …. Can’t really compare to anyone else which is certainly original …powerful and spiritual lyrics .. smoking guitar licks …..hard to believe so much sound from one man with an acoustic guitar…” You folks removed the handicap of poverty, by refusing to acknowledge it was one. By concentrating on the music and lyrics you made everything else inconsequential. And, I am so thankful and filled with admiration, respect, and love for each and every one of you.
