Jerry….this is a good article for those of us who don’t keep up with the entertainment industry other than peripherally. It’s thorough, well researched, and written in an easy-to-read style. I also wanted to thank you for the reblog from the Canadiens about the packing tape & scalpel art. The guy who does that is a genius in the making.
Also wanted to say thanks for following my blog, and for reading and liking some of the posts. I know I put a lot out there to read, and it can be heavy at times; hopefully I balance that with enough humor and sarcasm to offset the seriousness. Any who, thanks again, and keep up the good work. I’m not a huge fan of Hip Hop or Rap, (my old ears can’t keep up with a lot of the lyrics) but I do like the good stuff (ie, those I can understand), such as the one that accompanied the video about the tape artist.
Okay, enough…I do tend to ramble….you take care out there….see you around WordPress….
Hello Ned! First thanks for taking the time to read my posts, i feel in awe because of the nature of your blog, i mean it’s REAL content in my opinion. Currently I concentrate on Hip Hop because that is where the majority of my PR clients come from. I TRY to differentiate myself from other Urban Entertainment blogs by not posting the same mess over and over…so I you find I may have recycled something, please let me know! The items i post are from press releases i receive in my inbox and as a member of the Grammy organization, I get a lot of insider news prior to mainstream release. I will be focusing quite a bit on The Recording Academy in this blog, so please let me know if it becomes wearisome!
Once again Ned, thank you for visiting and interacting with my blog and please feel free to “ramble” as much as you want, I am really enjoying finding my way through the blogging community maze and as a PR person, networking is one of my greatest pleasures.
Respectfully,
Jerry
