Radio de Ham - Montana Ping

When I was a kid I used the money I won in a piano competition to buy a short wave radio. I was fascinated by broadcasts coming from all over the world. I kept checking out of the library The World Radio and TV Guide and logging what I was hearing so that I could see where all of  these broadcasts were coming from.

Is it any surprise that the geeky adult is now fascinated with tracking things on the internet?

The first thing to go into any website I build (including this one, Jeffryes.NET) is integration with Google Analytics. It's fun to see how many visits I receive and where in the world they're coming from.

For example, in the last 6 months I've had visits from every state of the U.S. Except for one. Montana.

Now what's up with Montana?

It turns me into George Costanza. In one episode of Seinfeld, George is so obsessed with a woman who dislikes him he neglects even his own girlfriend, who does like him.

All I can think about is, what's up with Montana?

So here's the deal. I will send a free copy of my debut CD, Hayner Resounding, to the first three people from Montana who visit my website, Jeffryes.NET, find the Contact page, and request the CD and my newsletter.

I don't spam people with my newsletter. I only send it to people who ask for it and anyone can unsubscribe any time, no tricks or hard feelings. If you want Hayner Resounding for free, bless you, and please accept the newsletter, too. If you get the CD and unsubscribe from the newsletter later, it's just okay!

If I have already given away the three CDs, I will still add you to the newsletter, and you will still get one free track from the CD, which I give to all newsletter subscribers in any case. If you don't want the newsletter without the whole CD, you may tell me in advance. That's fine. And you may always unsubscribe later.

I only ever visited Montana once. During my show business days I played Billings on a bus-and-truck tour of Jesus Christ Superstar with Ted Neeley. Sleeping on a bus without bunks every night leaves you in a daze and I don't remember anything about it except there was lots of space! Now wouldn't it be nice if my new friends in Montana wanted me to head on over  for a series of library or house concerts?

While I'm obsessing over Google Analytics, here is another sample track from Hayner Resounding, Mouvement, from Debussy's Images, Book 1.

First Time for Everything

I have an open call for scores and the music is pouring into my email in a flood. It is amazing to see the abundance of creativity, and humbling that so many composers are ready to send me their work in hope that I will perform it and produce a recording.

Clearly, I should have done this a long time ago. The wealth of music awaiting a performer's realization is incalculable. I want to give everyone who has submitted work to me the serious consideration they deserve, but it will take me quite some time!

Given the abundance of feedback I have received on this project, the possibilities extend far beyond producing one CD. Expect a new website featuring the composers who have extended themselves to me.
