well... hows's this...
a buddy of mine decided to do a remix of a Paul Hyde song on my BongoBeat cd
and sent me a disc of it... i flipped, ran a copy over to paul - he 
flipped.... then i emailed an MP3
to my buddy at a digital radio station to get his  advice as I  had 
no idea what to do with it -
he instantaneously asks if he can start playing it! sure..... and 
it's on the air within a day....
getting 17 spins a week nationally and another buddy of mine will 
start sending it to AC radio to see if
we can get other folks to check it out... i guess there are little miracles....

kind of blew of my mind, actually.... you always read about that kind 
of stuff....
Dig that crazy Bongo Beat!
