I received this e-mail from Tom Kiebzak of Beyond Bop on November 9th. I must preface this by saying at the time I did not have any CDs, I was distributing my material digitally. So I thought, get some CDs made.
"Greetings Ty,

Today I received this e-mail:
"
Greetings Ty,
Yes I got your CD's. They are produced and recorded very well unfortunaltely the genre doesn't fit the format for our station.
Keep up the chops!
Tom"
I swear, if I ever run into this guy - POW!!!!
What kind of Bullshit is this? First of all, I could have sent that CD to someone who actually listened to my music. It's evident, that this guy must have sent me a spam message, so musicians beware.
Also, the postage cost and time. I could have been creating music instead of sending this jerk a CD.
