Greg Hyde Testing The Water CD

Hey, my buddy and co-writer friend, Mark Gurley has released his CD "Salinas Blues" and has posted it on CD Baby. I've got two songs on his CD - "Cool Guys,"( also on my CD "Testing the Water,") and a new, very nice tune, "Julie, Let Your Hair Down." Go have a listen. Steve Dixon also has a couple of really good interpretations of Mark's work too. See the link on the lower left here, or go to http://www.cdbaby.com/gurleymark.***************July 7, 2005, got an email from Sandy Shore of smoothjazz.com who said " Thanks for sending along your project...  TESTING THE WATER.  I think you've done a great job with the CD.... "Also sent the CD to Montenegro recently. May 31, both "house concerts" were great fun. Hopefully, we'll get more people to come the next time. Thanks to Joan and David for coming up to Monterey and sharing their terrific music and time with us. We generated a $100 donation to Chamisal's Relay for Life American Cancer Society event with our music! **************May 10, received an email from Molli Kreuser from the Internet Radio Show Molls Rawks. " I wanted to inform you that your music will be featured on my LIVE show today, May 10 at 7pm, (Chicago time) and will be rerun Friday at noon, 4pm, and 7pm. i apologize for the late notice....Please let your fans, friends, family, and pets know so they can tune in during one if not all of those times!http://www.fearlessradio.com is the link you will need to boogie on over and hook up to the net and listen."***************A buddy of mine is always coming up with marketing ideas for the CD: "Use it as a coaster. (silver, shiny, goes with any decor) No salesmen will come to your door. (Like anyone does that now adaze?) You liked Harry Chapin, John Denver, Cat Stevens, you'll like Greg's stuff too! (OK) Get one for a friend. They're small and easy to mail, or conceal. (Take it as gifts to your family, who you always forget to send presents to and now you're going to see them in person in how many years???) Send them to the AFLCIO, (American Hard Labor) send them to GM for use in their car ads. (Cool Guys) Send them to the Washington Apple Growers Association (Lucious)."*****************I've got some friends coming over on a regular basis to work on harmonies and other guitar parts. We're doing a semi-regular appearance at a local coffee shop in OldTown Salinas, a block away from the National Steinbeck Center. If you're in Salinas, stop by Rollicks Specialty Coffees at 210 S.
