Okay folks we are in round 4. Most of you have gotten this e-mail
from me, some of you are new to the club. If your new, here's the
rundown. I'm in a contest to get
my own show on NPR. Out of 1,490 contestants I've made it to the top
5. The contest is a series of challenges, each one a little harder
then the last one. The newest challenge was just up loaded on the
site, and I could use your vote. So if you get a chance, please stop
by the site and give me a listen and rating. (once you make a log in,
all you need to do is click on 5 stars next to my picture and it will
tell you that it's saving the the vote.)

The challenge this time out was to create a 5 minute demo for the hour
long show you are proposing. My show is called State of the Reunion.
It's a show that travels around the country and every week focuses on
one city and features stories about people in different communities
coming together and the things that pull people apart. Because the
arts are essential part of every community, their will be a heavy dose
of local artist. Poets, musicians, writers, painters will all get a
little national shine if I make it past this round. Because this is
the final push, I'm asking you all to please, please, please, forward
this to people and get them to vote.
Light,
Al
