Topic: Advice needed

Good morning, afternoon, goodnight, depending on where you at in the world. I could use some feed back from you. I'm going to see "back door slam" in San Francisco this week with Jdawg. I'm getting some more JB cards to hand out. The last batch I had done up at Kinkos, had all 5 shows within 3 hours from Sacramento on the back with dates and locations. This time I was thinking of going with the Ted Nugent endorsement, maybe a magazine quote of some type. Maybe, you can have throw me an idea or so, I feel you got to use the whole card if you want to get ALL of someones attention.

Thanks....Dave

How about using some Billboard info? All 6 of Joe's albums have charted in the Top 10 on Billboard's Blues Charts, 3 of which hit #1 - including Sloe Gin which remains at #1 today. That's pretty strong...

Re: Advice needed

>> Pitch Joe's rise to blues fame as a kid, working with BB King
>> Mention any TV shows Joe's been on
>> Compare Joe's style/fame to other blues musicians
>> Talk about Joe working Blues in Schools Program
>> Highlight Joe's large touring schedule with the number of shows he does annually

Hope one of those ideas helps.

I have an idea Shred. Take a video camera to film Back Door Slam. 
All kidding aside I like Stu's suggestion about the billboard charts.  Consider the video though.

Re: Advice needed

Shred,

If you use someone elses words, say Ted Nugents, for example, make sure to use the quote word for word, put it in quotes and give credit. If it appeared in a magazine make sure to give the magazines name. (Cite your sources, it keeps you out of legal trouble!) If you need help let me know.

Just shrink down the most incredible poster of all time and put it on there. LOL, you know I'm yankin' your chain Bro'. Can't wait for the gig, should be fun and may be crowded since KFOG's pluggin' it. TTYL.
