Thank you for adding my new author page. I will have a few songs from the soundtrack on the player soon, but will link my music page for more songs. My fiction novel with a CD soundtrack is due out in a few weeks. It will be at CD Baby, Amazon, Barnes & Noble etc. Keep in touch. Wishing you a great musical weekend. Hope all your projects are on track.
Peace and respect, Joy Miller www.myspace.com/joymillermusic
Laurie, THIS IS IT, I have ONE LAST have a favor to ask you about this, could I? Since, as you might’ve heard, my picture won at the monthly level & Round 1, I got nominated for the LongHair Hawtie of the Year Finals (!) that ends tomorrow (can you just get it done now?) and... - was hoping for those 6 votes from you ;)
So... this is where you would cast a vote. Yeah, you do need to get accepted as a friend of www.MySpace.com/OfficialLongHairHawties before you can vote, but they’re nice girls (the hawtie folks), no harm whatsoever :)
Thank you so much already, In appreciation, - Armand www.MySpace.com/ArmandVio7
PS. since it would be so cool to win ‘by a landslide’ of like 5-600+ votes OVER and ABOVE over #2 guy (who will give us run for the money, he’s done that before!) - so, an 'evil' thought - maybe you can tell your friends to vote too? ;) Could you ask around?
Thanks for being a friend! Do you know about the Electric Ball in London on Wednesday November 18? JEFFERSON STARSHIP + QUICKSILVER MESSENGER SERVICE + TOM CONSTANTEN (original Grateful Dead pianist) + more! Please try and make it. It’ll be a ball! Details and tickets from: http://www.rhythmgigs.com
