(NZC) Shameless promotion of a musical family member

[cathy kelty <catharinak@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If this is against the rules, forgive me, but, I want to do my part to help my 
talented brother in law, Jeff Titus.  Jeff is a guitarist by avocation, who has 
played for as long as I've known him, and is the first guitarist who made me 
cry.  (We all know who the second was.)   

Jeff's most well known for playing The Oracle, a 24 string harp guitar 
incorporating sitar-like sympathetic strings in the neck.  It was  built by 
Fred Carlson and dedicated to Jeff's favorite guitarist, Michael Hedges, which 
gives some indication of the music he makes.  Jeff produced his first CD (one 
of those old things), "Wood Dragon" in November '07.  Lovely, inventive "New 
Edge" music, also featuring Gregg Miner and the mind blowing Michael Manring.

Anyway, Jeff is listed in the Best of Echoes contest (Echoes is "ambient music 
on public radio"):

As he puts it: "Hey... I'm not trying to tip the scales, but if you have people 
that like Wood Dragon, it'd be nice to get listed on the listener's poll "Best 
of Echoes" contest. A lot of labels look at the results of this, believe it or 
not. Send this to people you know that like my music and ask if they'll vote. 
I'm in the drop-downs under Jeff Titus - Wood Dragon. FYI - you have to enter 
your name and address to enter, but these guys don't spam. So, SPAM your 
friends if they've ever heard me play and ask them to vote as listeners of 
Echoes. (yes, ask them to lie if they have never heard of Echoes) :)"

Like Jeff I'm not asking for blind voting.  I really love this album (there's a 
vintage word) and honestly recommend it.  For one, it makes a nice interlude 
from blowing the speakers out with Zep.  If you listen and you like it, please 
take a moment to give Jeff a vote.  You will be entered to possibly win 25 CDs 
from Echoes, too.  Polling ends December 11th.    

Thanks for listening!
