so I got on this radio site in toronto CFNY 102.1 FM. If ya get enough votes they put you on the radio. I don't know if it works international or not by I obviously appreciate any votes. you can vote each day.
http://edge.supernova.com/bongoboy#scroll down to vote for " Jet Blue"
I am sluggin through a whole bunch of new tunes to add. Some good shit comin, in my view anyway.
Self promotion is not my strong suit but hey it's my job now.
New webpage
http://twangndread.tumblr.com/Thanks Nutters.
(search twang n dread on itunes, amazon etc to buy)

Tarnation! The sign up requires a valid Canadian postcode. On the one hand fair enough, they're looking for music that chimes with a local audience. On the other hand (as dafttart would say) what NUMPTIES! I'm assuming they stream to the web, and do they really think people only find new music from a local broadcast station?
Mr Bongo, sir: I've not registered with a bogus postcode. I figure that would be counter-productive if a bunch of us did it, but you may want to have a word with them. Music is international. They should be.

Bongo I've tried up, down, backwards, sideways and bloody diagonally. I eventually got to log in to supernova by giving my valid postcode and the name of the next village as mine wasn't on the list only to be told that I couldn't vote because I don't live in Canada.
You know I would vote if I could.
As Smudge says "Music is international. They should be."
Good luck though Bongo and keep it coming please!

Voted and done, Bongo! But that sign up was quite a workout, and I live in Canada. I really admire our UK friends for their efforts. Now that I'm signed in, I'll make it my daily routine to vote.
And Bongo, all this time I never knew you were a fellow Scarberian. I had to read your little blurb to learn that? I should have guessed it from your video in the hydro field. Somehow the act of playing a banjo in a hydro field has a real Scarborough vibe about it.
Keep up the great work. This here Markham&Lawrence posse is cheering you on.

I didn't know you were in Scarberia !
Sorry I didn't know they make it such a hassle. Thanks a lot.
I will have to do something cool to make up for this.
You people are the best.

Great to hear that!
I am trying to decide which to put on itunes. I like em too, I dig the sloppy vibe some don't.
All the Time in the World Blues is my fav...Jack White inspired.
I did Jet Blue for ya...whad a ya think what new ones for itunes ?
(Really appreciate you Folks.)
Nutters care more than any of my "friends", music can teach about life I guess.
BIG LUV !

Bongo I love them both but I'm going to be uncharacteristically (is that a real word? I expect I spelt it wrong) bold and say that I like All the time in the world as much as I like Jet Blue.
So if there has to be a choice then I'm going with that one. (Crap! I sound like a bloody X factor judge!)
Can't we just have them both? ...Please.
