Voting Now Open for Playlist For The Planet

I’m so bloody excited about this song I wrote & recorded, that I have rewritten this  5 times. Words can’t describe my excitement & I just want as many people as possible to listen to it.

Why?

I entitled the song ‘One & The Same’! I wrote it as an environmental anthem, specifically for a contest called ‘Playlist for the Planet’ and I have never, EVER, wanted to win something so bad in all my life! I’ll admit that wanting to win for the potential fame was & still is a little part of it, but there is zero fortune to be made for me personally. If my song wins and is selected to be on the Playlist for the Planet Album, ALL PROCEEDS for its sale will go to the David Suzuki Foundation. (David & his organization are the ones that are truly helping to save our planet!)

When you listen to the song & the lyrics I think you will understand even better… I think you’ll love it.

Now What?

1.       Please listen to the song here http://radio3.cbc.ca/play/band/Raito/One-and-The-Same

2.       To Vote for ‘One & The Same’ you will need  take 3 seconds to register for the CBC Radio3 site here http://radio3.cbc.ca/membersignup or LOGIN if you have signed up before

4.       Go back here: http://radio3.cbc.ca/play/band/Raito/One-and-The-Same & click the Become a Fan Button at the bottom of my page.

That’s it!

If you like the song and the contest it represents please forward this to your friends, family and or contacts.

Thanks again for your vote,

Lee

PS. I’ll be back in the studio again sooner rather than later.
