I was given 200 Plays on Jango Radio. If 50 Listeners would log in and express a high degree of satisfaction with one of the 3 songs I have playing over the next week (I know it's asking a lot) I will be given permanent rotation status on Jango. A radio network with 7 Million Listeners!
So I am writing you a note asking for your assistance. Please know if you find yourself in a similar circumstance ( which you very well might) I'll be there for you.
You can reach Jango at http://www.jango.com/music/2drunksaguitar
Write 2 Drunks And A Guitar name, pick a song. Hit the THUMBS UP! and YELLOW PLUS SIGN! If I reach 50 thumbs up and 50 signs I make permanent rotation on Jango.
My songs should start playing in the next couple days.
Thanks a ton. It's all free!

It's that time of year where we ask all of you for your support. We are currently working on our 2010 calendars to send to our Troops serving to thank them for their service overseas and we need your help.
Please visit our website (banner/link on my page and below) and myspace page (the top friend) and do what you can. Read about what we do and please make a donation so we can make this happen. Our Troops deserve our thanks! No donation is too small or too large. Your donation is tax dedictible as we are a 501(c)(3) and over 93% of all money we receive goes to thank our Troops and support out wounded.
We are only able to do this every year because of each and everyone of you. I hope we can continue thanking those who give so much!
Please help us out and thank you in advance!
Jerry
President, Military Troops Calendar
I also run the Help Our Wounded Troops Myspace Page
P.S. Businesses (and individuals) who want their businesses and names printed in the calendar lets me know. We want everyone to know which businesses support our Troops AND you can write it off. Thanks again!
