Doing It Right: Jonathan Byrd
photo by Rodney Bursiel
Jonathan Byrd is a kickass songwriter with a wicked sense of humor. I always, always open his emails even if he’s not touring anywhere near me because he writes these killer welcome/unsubscribe messages at the beginning and usually ends with some great road story after posting his tour dates. Talk about someone doing it right. The one today inspired me enough to post it for you below:
You’re receiving this email because you joined my email list online or at a show. A “show” is a new idea in social networking, where you go out and spend time with other people, in the same room, without computers and cell phones. There’s no login or password, and the experience is automatically “shared” with everyone present. The Show will be stored on your internal hard drive, where you can recall it in super high-def as long as you live.

While you’re there, buy some of his music, it’s transformational. Hard to say which album is best, but here are a couple of my personal favorites of his songs:
Ballad of Larry: http://youtu.be/Le5ztJM0ikc
Prairie Girl: http://youtu.be/Mo1n8rpwYao
