Hey gang, I just found out some distressing news via an email: recent US government action has increased the amount of fees that Internet radio stations have to pay. In other words, if this does not change in the weeks,even days to come, many stations will be forced to close due to bankruptcy! I am very concerned about this. Besides you, the fans, the most supportive community for my music (or for that matter, probably ANY independent artist's music) BY FAR, is the smallest, most innovative new market for music, Web Radio. They are committed to helping artists like myself reach an audience without having to crawl down and BEG mainstream radio for a chance to be heard (without payola, of coure). I am a strong advocate of Web Radio and it has already helped me to build a bigger audience and every artist needs that. I believe that, given the chance, it could change the face of commercial music across the globe! Internet stations not only gives an audience diversity but also expose unknown artists like me who DESPERATELY need our music to be heard! If you want your voice to be heard by our government, then PLEASE click on the savenetradio.org link on my LINKS page and sign the petition to stop this madness and continue letting independent artists have what we need to survive in the already highly competitive world of music! Thank you. BKT
