After attending a career transition seminar over the weekend, I was inspired to create a virtual résumé site.  If your company is looking for a communications professional, or your small business or nonprofit is looking to take control of your web presence, please get in touch with me.

I got this e-mail from Darryl Purpose, who put together the Kevin Faherty compilation that I’ve been playing recently on Festival Radio and it was too good not to share:

Greg,

Thanks for adding “Singer-Songwriter Heaven – the songs of kevin faherty”. It was a labour of love for all of us, and we apprecaite the support!

I did a search and see that you are playing the Diana Jones track.  Incredible story about that recording – She was one of the last to get her track in and the deadline was looming. She had scheduled some recording time for her own songs in London. When she was done she asked the engineer to roll tape, she wanted to try something. She had never played the song, only heard the rough MP3 that I’d sent her of Kevin singing it. She had her new tenor guitar, which she hadn’t really worked out chords on. She started singing and playing the song.

When she finished, she looked up and the engineer was in tears. Then she was in tears. That was the one and only time she played the song, that’s what you hear on the recording!

All My Best,

Darryl
