Hi Tom,

There ya go. Congrats to your good fortune, and for having the courage to just ask. Though it may seem obvious to some , many others would just assume the answer would be "No thank you" and never try.

The lesson here is never be afraid to ask for fear of hearing the word "No", even though you might think there's no way they will be willing to do it, especially when it comes to the media.

If there is something you think has a chance of succeeding don't be afraid to look foolish, every great success started with many failures along the way. Put your idea out there, and let others help you to either nurture it, or dismiss it. Sometimes you have to do something , even if it's wrong.

Every salesman knows that the real selling doesn't start until you hear the word "No", Most managers learn the lesson real quickly that it's easier to do something than it is to try and get permission, so they go ahead and do it, and if it turns out to be a good thing, they are a hero, and if not, they can apologize later. Great inventors have known for ages, that each failure brought them that much closer to getting it right, and we are all inventing the future of our music as we go.

Those that find the courage to be innovative in their thought process will lead the way into the next century of music.
