Great newsletter Dan, best yet.

I'm going to have to go through this about three times for it all to sink in.

And thanks for mentioning giving the REASON before the call to action. It's something I see in spots all the time too.

Visit "blah blah blah dot com" and we'll give a hundred bucks!

Wait! What was that web address?

It's a losing battle Dan, but we're all fighting it.

@James: No need to wait. The tease refers to "Twist and Shout."

When I learned that "back story," it completely changed my reaction to the recording. Even as a kid I remember thinking, "Hey, the guy's voice cracked near the end! They couldn't have done another take??"

But after learning that one tidbit....

OK, Dan – you got me: that Beatles song was…? (I'm guessing "Don't Let Me Down," although I thought that only came from the rooftop concert in Get Back/Let It Be, not a studio session per se.)

I'l be in suspense until newsletter #121..

The truly sad part is, too many "professionals" have forgotten to be professional!

Making your three/four/six hours the most important hours of the day for your listener sure does make a difference. It's not easy, but that's why you get paid for it...
