Is there a
song of mine that means a lot to you - or
has meant something special to someone you
love? I will record a personal greeting and
message for anyone you wish - followed by
any song of your choice from my 10-CD
catalog.
Let's say that my song,
By A Friend,
has long been a special song between you and
your true love. On a CD including that song,
I will record a personal message. You may
give me a little background and I will in my
own words record a message to your
sweetheart or friend and introduce my song.
Or you could even write something yourself
that you'd like me to say. It works best if
you leave me a little freedom so that what I
say feels and sounds natural and authentic.
The Personal
CD will open with me playing guitar, then
introducing myself and talking to your
friend or loved one. It will be a warm and
friendly greeting which will follow your
guidelines or suggestions - followed by a
song from one of my CDs, which you choose.
Example:
"Hi
Sarah, this is Michael Tomlinson just
wanderin' around strummin' my guitar. Your
husband Jim wrote and told me about the
summer you both drove down the west coast
and listened to my Face Up in the Rain album
along the way. He wanted me to remind you of
how much he loves you and can't imagine his
life without you - and he asked me to
introduce my song, All is Clear, because it
has been such a special song to you both
over the years. It's one of my favorite too,
one I wrote as a young man living in Austin,
Texas, when I knew I'd be leaving that
beautiful city. I'm happy to know that it's
been a good part of your lives together. I
wish you both a lovely Valentine's Day,
Sarah."
Of course,
you may have something very different in
mind. If it's a CD for your boss, I'll leave
out any references to "can't imagine living
life without you", and go more for something
like, "wanted you to know that she
appreciates what you do and asked me to send
you a song she thought might mean a lot to
you." In other words, we'll just figure out
what you want and I'll do it. That's the
handy part of being a free-thinkin' human
bean.

For $100 you will receive three
CDs: |
|
(1) |
One CD
will contain my personal greeting which
I'll record especially for the one you
love,
followed
by a studio recording of any song of
your choice from my 10 CDs. |
|
(2) |
your choice of any album from my
eleven CD catalog - which I will
autograph |
|
(3) |
your choice of an 2nd album from
my eleven CD catalog - which I will also
autograph |
Below are some thoughts to keep in
mind when sending
suggestions for the greeting I will
create for you:
*
Your name
* The name of the person
you're giving to
* Endearments. Things like:
"Your sweetheart John," "your friend
Rick."
Be sure to imagine me saying it, so
that it feels natural.
* What song do you want me
to introduce?
* Do you want me to mention
a special occasion? (birthday,
anniversary, holiday, etc.)
* Is there a memory of a
certain time or place you want me to
mention?
* Something else you'd like
me to say... |
