When I was growing up there was this commercial that stuck in my head. It was about a shampoo called Faberge... the name is not important but the concept is. It seemed so obvious at the time (and I recall that I was very young at that time!)... The idea of the commercial was that this stuff was so good that the person using it was going to "Tell Two Friends then they'll "Tell Two Friends" then they'll "Tell Two Friends" and so on and so on...!
When I first got my music up and running that is exactly how it happened... I played a bar and a few people dug it and they told a couple of people and then the next week more people came to the bar to see me play and then the next week those people told a couple people and then the gig got bigger and so on and so on...
Then I made a cd and sold a couple copies... and those people dug it and told a couple of people and so on and so on...
You get the idea right!?
Well that concept never stops working. If you dig what I'm doing now then do me a favor... tell a couple of friends.
If you like the new song, "That's A Man" then tell a couple people about it.
If you dig seeing me play shows then tell a few folks about what you've seen.
Just keep it old school... "tell two friends and they'll tell two friends and so on and so on..."! Give it a shot.

A Lot Can Happen
Wow! I just realized that I haven't visited with you here since October 4, 2008! Being that it is November 7, 2008... that's over a month (I'm pertty god at maht!!)!
A lot can happen in a month. It's fairly staggering if you think about the changes that can go on in your life in just over 30 days. Since the last time we spoke I released a single to Radio called "That's A Man". It is off to a fantastic start and people seem to like it as much as I do. If you haven't heard it then go to my website (jackingram.net) or go to itunes or, better yet, just call up your favorite country radio station and act appalled that you haven't heard it yet when everyone you know has! What else has happened? The University Of Texas Longhorns football team went from #5 to #1, stayed there a week and then lost a game and went back to the outside looking in on the BCS Championship game! That's been a rollercoaster since I live in Austin now and read about it in the papers constantly! The first freeze has come to Texas! Halloween came rolling by with ghosts and goblins and such! Scare me...! the economic crisis has come into our lives and i don't think anybody knows when it will even make eye contact with the door (notice my attempt to overplay the economic crisis by pretending to understate it with lower case letters :)). Saturday Night Live came screaming to the forefront for the first time in a few years with Tina Fey's (who doesn't even work there anymore) impression of Sarah Palin. Oh yeah... I guess we won't be seeing much of that impression anymore.
Kenny Chesney told us last year in that song not to blink (never thought I'd quote Kenny in this thing) and I must admit that the boy is right!! Don't do it. If you do this whole world will just get up and move on. It is fairly amazing to me all of the changes that can go on in just barely a month. Hadn't really thought of that before. Have you?
