Title: Attention Artists!
Post by: lfmusiclover on April 02, 2008, 01:30:06 PM
First of all, I'd like to thank the artists who've already joined us. That said, if you like the site, please put a link to us on your site (if you have links-not all of you do have a links page).

It would be much appreciated!  :sunglasses:

Hello ifmusiclover ~

I've just signed up, at the suggestion in a very nice email from Gary Turner. A song of mine, "Dusty's Groove", is playing on TWC. The title for TWC is slightly altered ~ "Lucky's Groove". I've just released a CD, "Mixed Bag"; the song "Dusty's Groove" can be found on it. Here are a couple of links:

Hmm... that I'm not sure of; don't know how TWC plans what music will be played, whether plays from past months will be repeated... guess I should've said "...has played on TWC". Sorry for any confusion ~

My bad. :doh: Just curious because I like to hear more of your music on The Weather Channel's forecasts :)

I got one more question TWC retitled another song of yours in March 2007 called "Across the Bay" (BMI title) . Would you happen to have the actual CD title from "Across the Bay" ?

Thanks, I appreciate hearing that!

Regarding "Across The Bay", I asked my publisher what the original title was, and he's not able to remember... I'll ask again ~ I was actually surprised to hear that I had a second tune on TWC, as I had thought only the one  ~ "Dusty's (or Lucky's) Groove ~ had been picked up.

If you've got some time, go to

http://cdbaby.com/cd/billkilpatrick

and you can preview the songs on my album... hopefully one of them will answer the "Across The Bay" mystery...

Thanks again!

Hello Mr Kilpatrick. I have that CD (Mixed Bag). I was wondering if you was able to find out which song was "Across the Bay"  used on The Weather Channel March of 2007 on that CD. Let me know. Thanks in Advance!

Hello,

I've had a few people ask about that song ~ I'll try again to see if my publisher can track down which song that is... hopefully I can do so! And thank you for buying my CD ~ much appreciated!

To those of you who have asked me about the song "Across The Bay" ~ to the best of my knowledge, I think I have determined that the song is, in fact, not one of mine. It is published by the same gentleman who published my song, "Dusty's Groove", which played on TWC last January. The publisher, however, says that he published "Across The Bay" in February of 2007, which is before I had anything signed with him. In addition, I never received any statement for song play on TWC other than that of January 2008 ("Dusty's Groove"). My best guess is that I have been erroneously credited as the songwriter of "Across The Bay". If anyone can send me just a small bit of the song as an mp3, I can listen to determine for certain one way or another...

All the best!

Mr. Kilpatrick, if I can listen to a small bit of one of your mp3s, and compare it to any song playing now on TWC, I should be able to tell. B)

One thing I did noticed from the March 2007 playlist is that TWC lists the "cue-in's" of the songs, i.e. what point of it is used on the Locals on the 8's. it list "Across The Bay" with a cue-in (or time-in) of :12 and a cue-out of 2:12. After testing all the other songs on the CD, I did find one song that cues in perfectly at :12 "Diggin' In". I thought this song might be "Across the Bay" from 3/07. Maybe its just a coincidence :huh:

Hi Chris,

If you go to this site:

http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/billkilpatrick

you can listen to samples of all the songs. If you do happen to determine that "Across The Bay" is one of my tunes (by a different name on my cd), please let me know ~ I'd love to solve this mystery!

Thanks!

To the crew at TWC: You guys are the coolest. Thank you all very much. I've enjoyed that channel way back in the day when I wasnt a full time music (but a software engineer). Caught it before work, on lunch, and before bed (mostly to hear the music and find out if we had snow or not)... LOL

I never thought I'd make it to being featured on your channel. Wooohoooo!!!  :dance:

So far you've featured about 4 of my songs. (I've got a few new/free songs now). Grab them at http://brianoneal.ifanz.net/player/?t=d (http://brianoneal.ifanz.net/player/?t=d)   or   http://www.myspace.com/brianoneal (http://www.myspace.com/brianoneal)

Thanks again guys!!!

Hey, this is Joe Loskota. I've had a few songs featured on the local on the 8's segments in the past. Some of you may remember the songs. I appreciate that you have shown interest in my music. Well, I finally released a whole album of my smooth jazz songs - Joe Loskota - "Coming Home." It's available on itunes. A couple of the songs were on twc. The song "player" on the album is "smoothy mcgroovy." All of the songs were written around the same time - 2008-2009. Anyway, you can visit my facebook page and listen to my tunecore widget for free if you are interested. Thanks.

OMG, this news has certainly made my day! I've been looking for your songs Player and Smooth Friday for 3 years. I hope TWC uses some of your music this year, you have some really great pieces!

Great news! One song in particular I would really like to find is Game Show (Feb 2007).
Title: Re: Attention Artists!
Post by: Joe Loskota on January 10, 2011, 11:51:09 AM
I'm happy to hear that you've enjoyed my music. It was a fun album to make - just took some time to finalize the release of it. Game Show will be on a different smooth jazz album in the future. That song is a member of a compilation that is in the can but not released. Hopefully, it will be released this year sometime. I'll keep you posted.
