Looking Across The Water ....

[Guest guest]

When I got back home earlier this evening, I went through the mail as

I usually do. Ah yes, there was an envelope from IndiePool with the

Quarterly Activity Report on the music I have out as an Independent

Artist as well as on the MIC CDs.

I was pleased to see that " Say You'll Wait For Me " is in low rotation

on Streamed Internet Radio stations in a particular country to be

named later in this post.

I was pleased to see that " Late Night In The Borough " is in medium

rotation on Streamed Internet Radio stations in that same country to

be named later in this post.

I was pleased as punch to see that " Somewhere In Detroit " is in high

rotation on Streamed Internet Radio stations as well.

In all, it was a triple header that made my day. So, I phoned

up to give him the news and he, too, was pleased as punch.

" So, " says , " this is great news. "

" It is, " I responded.

" Is this in Canada or America that we're getting this kind of

response? " he asked.

" Japan, " I said quickly. There was silence for 5 seconds.

" Japan? As in ... Japan? " he verified, his voice a little more

cautious than usual. Yes, , Japan as in 'Welcome to Pokémon

Central.' Japan as in sushi restaurants. Japan as in Japan.

" Japan, " I repeated.

" Cool! "

" Oh, yeah, " I added, " There's less activity on those songs on

Streamed Internet Radio stations in America but it's the same

rotation. "

" Japan, " he repeated thoughtfully, caught in another stream of

consciousness.

" And America, " I repeated.

" Japan. "

With so many travelers turning their attention -- and bank accounts --

to the upcoming Olympic Games in Beijing, maybe and I should

tour Japan. LOL!
