Default Oh man, we're top 20 on 105.9 again....

Washington DC 105.9 Smooth Jazz... Our CD is tied for #19 and we are in their top 20 for the Sunday playlist for the 3rd month in a row! April, May and June!!! I'm sorry I tried to keep this bottled up but I just can't... I just HATE the fact of seeming to self promote.... but I can't help it! I just love playing with my pop and when we first started writing stuff together and starting to gig, never in my wildest dreams did I think we would even get ANY radio airplay, Sorry I just get really pumped up by this. It's probably just a tiny station but I don't care... LOL!

Smooth Jazz 105.9

Very Cool!

Why is Lorie Line on the list twice for the same CD?

Maybe you are actually 18th!

Congrats, and good luck!

Kudos! That's cool and DC isn't a small jazz market either, is it?

That's WAY cool, Johnny5!

Don't apologize for blowing your own horn a little! You've earned it.

Kudos to you and your Dad! I think it's waaay cool to not only get air play, but to get it with your father. You have every right to be proud and scream it from the rooftops! I bow to you, sir!

Kudos to the max. There's a lot of proverbial wisdom for self-promotion, but I still think now and then (and DEFINITELY HERE) you should toot your own horn, as no one's gonna do it for you. No shame in that; no shame in musical achievement and excellence; I'd be putting posters up around town if it was me!
