Last night was the listening party for the RPM Challenge and while I was not around to take part in the festivities, there were apparantly many parties around the country where people gathered to hear the results of a month of hard work.
For those that could not make the trek to any of those regional get togethers, people were tuning in on the RPM Radio stream and throwing their own party on the message board. It was brought to my attention early last night that one of our songs had already played and, as you can see from these two pictures, Hello Come In got a bit of love right off the bat…specifically a song I wrote “Cost of Things”
Have to say its humbling in a way and even the smallest bit of encouragement goes a long way in knowing we should continue to do what we do. Can’t wait to check out some of the other songs and bands who took part.
And to think, our best efforts are only just beginning…especially the more we cross pollinate our ideas… this is only the beginning of some great work. Stay tuned in the next few days as our small effort for March goes up…
UPDATE 4\4: My friend and co-worker Bob Boilen (whom I used to work for as an intern production assistant with NPR’s All Songs Considered) talked to listening party in New Hampshire last Friday night via Skype. Its a really beautiful and from the heart message about the RPM Challenge and making and creating music. I find it quite great knowing that so many people got so much out of this project.
