    Hi Kenny,
    Looking forward to seeing your at the Berks jazz festival nest month.

    I just did a focus group last night here in Philadelphia on our local smooth jazz radio station. General consensus was that we would like to see expanded play lists, expanded artists lists and not the same songs from the same artists played all of the time. Smooth jazz stations, although enjoyable, can tend to be a bit predictable.

    Since it seems (to me anyway) that your music falls into this genre of smooth jazz/vocal jazz, why is it that you get almost no radio play time. It breaks my heart! Is it political. Is playtime based on commercial success of recordings? Please enlighten me.
