I hope you guys had a fun Halloween yesterday…I spent most of the day working on stuff and of course Campaigning for Votes on StarTomorrow. My emails that went out all said things like …"This will be the very last time you’ll have to vote"…"help me win the record deal"…"one last big push"…"breath"…The last 14 Weeks I’ll just think of as the StarTomorrow Pregnancy. We all wish for a healthy baby Thanks again for the continued votes and comments, by the way.

GREAT things seem to keep happening to me…and I mean REALLY GREAT THINGS. Making the Top 5 on NBC’s StarTomorrow is PRETTY SWEET but let me get away from that for a moment and go into other news…

Some of you have already noticed this new Yamaha Logo to the right of my journal sidebar. It’s true! I just signed an endorsement deal with them and I’m very proud to say I’m officially part of the Yamaha Family!

I just about jumped out of my skin when I heard this news. As a piano and guitar player(but mostly piano), there is no other company I would rather be with! It’s so nice to be endorsed by a company whose "toys"…I mean "instruments" I LOVE to play! YAY!

The other subtle change you might notice on my sidebar is this bad boy! What used to say "Nominee" now says "RECIPIENT"… Yes…it’s true too!

At about 2am last night I received an email from the fine folks at the 16th Annual LA Music Awards letting me know that I have WON! I was thinking that this might be some sort of secret I’m supposed to keep until the actual Main Event on November 9th but the email sent to me gave me this new artwork and it says: "FEEL FREE TO START BRAGGING! From now until eternity you will ALWAYS be an LA MUSIC AWARD RECIPIENT!"

WOW! So the Award I’ll be picking up on the 9th will be for "Rock-Male Singer Songwriter of the Year"-2006. I could NOT ask for a better category to win, let alone just be nominated for. I can’t wait for the Main Event!

I am one thankful and excited person today. With the way things are going…I’m thinking I should start playing the LOTTO
