Nathan,
You may know that I have a book being published in the not to distant future by Black & White, the same publishers for Roald Dahl among others.
I have been networking for over a year now to try and gather as many friends as possible so they could at least consider the book on publication.
It really is a beautiful little book. (I have added the introduction below in case you would like to read it)
So I was thinking I might ask you and a few others if you would be willing to do some kind of promotional exchange:
You email or post to your connections an invitation to download my free compilation album.
In return I will do the same for any product or service you would like me to promote.
Here are my figures.
Myspace: 22,495
Face book: Fan Page members 8,479 - Friends 3,465
Youtube: Friends 10,667 – Subscribers: 1,631
Mailing list: 10,110
Twitter 10,124
Linkedin: 4,384
Allowing for the little amount of crossover that there is, the total is over 60,000
I would like to know your thoughts before I approach any others with the same proposition,
I hope all remains well with you,
Billy

A Far Cry from Sunset: - Introduction.
Starting in the summer of 2005, three friends and I took an eight month journey across the two continents of America and Europe.
We were on a mission: – to get ten of the world’s most famous recording artists to record a tribute album to an unknown songwriter; – And that songwriter would be me.
As we travelled, we were going to make a road movie; an epic chronicle of our quest, and a testament to our friendship.
We made it and called it, Tribute This!
The adventures we had and the people we met changed my life profoundly. Not only its present but also how I view its past.
Apart from our struggles with managers, publicists, security, and even one or two of the artists themselves, we ran into so many people from ordinary walks of life; cab drivers, hotel porters, fans standing in line to see their heroes, who couldn’t do enough to help or encourage us on our journey.
For one long summer, we lived life so brilliantly; so full of laughter and a gathering sense of achievement, that I wondered if the artists we were pursuing ever got to see life in anything like the same way.
In contrast, they seemed so protected, so hidden away, so cut off from the world that, towards the end of our travels, the thought occurred to me, at that point in time, I wouldn’t swap one year of their lives for one day of ours.
My hope is, in reading my account of those heady days, along with the memories from my musical life so far, you will understand why
