The song is at #7 this week! Thanks so much, guys! You rock!
« on: October 28, 2008, 02:21:28 PM »
Thanks in large part to the participants on this BBS, and on various autism support boards, my song "Don't Give Up On Me" is now at Number 7 on the Independent Music Network’s Top-30 Country Chart this week! If you haven’t heard the song, you can listen to it at www.myspace.com/richowen61 . Whild the song is specifically about life with autism, its message applies equally well to anyone who cares about someone with a disability.  To stay on the chart, and to reach number one, the song needs both airplay and votes from fans. I’d like to ask once again for your help to push this song to number 1. Here’s what you can do to help:

1) Go to the following website

http://www.independentmusicnetwork.com/vote.php?genre=C

2) Scroll down until you find the following entry and click on it…

“Rich Owen - Don't Give Up On Me (ROR)”

The screen will go blank except for a message that says “Thanks for voting”. NOTE: If you've already voted for the current week from the computer you're using, you won't see the list of songs; instead you'll get a message that says you've already voted this week. Voting goes from Tuesday through Monday, and you can vote once per week from any IP address.  So vote early and vote often. :devil

3) Post back to this thread to say you voted (it’ll keep this thread up top and visible)

4) Repost this thread to other bulletin boards you frequent, and email to friends and family.

And thanks so much for all the wonderful emails and messages on MySpace I’ve received from people about the song. They mean more to me and Dan (my son) than any other compensation or recognition could. :salute

Sincerely,
Rich "Sabre" Owen

Have you emailed Sara Palin's camp to try and get her to use the song in the campaign?

(not a political comment, just a "good idea" imho)

I would think you could get some awesome exposure.

Sure, you bet!

WMLute, worth a shot.  Given that McCain/Palin are arguably the underdogs in this campaign, it could certainly apply in more ways than one;).  I'll let you know how it turns out. :) (And please don't turn this into a political thread...it'll get locked  :pray)

Thanks again.

Thanks again.

I just thought that with Palin havin' a kid with Downs Syndrome, the song might be a good "fit".

(and it could possibly get you some exposure on the national level)
