5. If only I had Showtime I could witness your commercial debut.
Dangit.

Is it your commercial debut, even?

14. Well, Employee of the Month
has aired a few times on Showtime this month so this won't be our debut per se but I just heard about it the other day! So, it's a first for me! :bounce:

13. Dozens of dollars! ROFL!
To paraphrase, I'd rather be an underpaid musician than an underpaid bookkeeper any day.

CONGO-RATS!!

9. So, when do I get to start hearing you in regular rotation on the radio?
Congrats on being on showtime! I don't get showtime but I think I'll rent the movie so I can hear your song.

10. How did you get your song included in the film?
Did you have to knock on a lot of doors, or did an agent do it for you?

11. Get out!!
That's so cool.

My friend Cindy had a song featured on "Being Farrah" about a month ago. It was very cool. It was during a scene when Farrah visits a group of FDNY members and they took her to the WTC site. It was very moving.

This is GREAT news for you guys. It's good PR and great for CD sales.

21. Cool, Paul! But is there any way...
you can get a copy of this and maybe post it here? For all of the guys and gals (like me) who don't have Showtime and don't know anyone who does?

I'd really like to see this. And I think others would appreciate it, also. :-)

30. Yeah....
Just for the people who don't have Showtime. I have basic cable...and have no access to Showtime. There are others in the same boat.

Thank you, sir. :-)
