 Welcome to a special edition - Vol. 3, Issue 2
Fuzzy Dice News, April 7, 2011
Hello Rock & Roll Radio DJs Fans! Progress! Guess what?! You can now download a Kindle version of Blast from Your Past!’s first five years (1954-1959) from Amazon!
I
wasn’t going to just blurt it out, but I’m so excited for everyone to
see that I really have been working on the book, and we’re getting
closer to the full-throttle print edition. I gave up guesstimating a
publication date – and you’ve all been so patient, but just know that
it’s coming up. Thank you for hanging around and for the encouragement
so many of you have offered.
FYI, the ebook is priced at only $3.99 as an introductory teaser to the series; come July 1st the price will increase to $4.99.
In the meantime, tell all your friends about the pre-print book teaser! Blast from Your Past! Rock & Roll Radio DJs: the First Five Years 1954-1959 is available now as a Kindle EBOOK.
Remember, ebooks are still generally no-frills, basic formatting and
poor quality images (and fewer images) than any print version can offer,
but at least it’s something to whet your appetite for the good ol’
days. You’ll find fifteen fun and entertaining tales of your favorite
DJs about their lives behind the microphone at a time when Rock &
Roll was heating up the music world.
And btw, if you’re not aware, you don’t absolutely need a Kindle in order to purchase, download, and read ebooks – Kindle has an app for your PC or laptop
– downloads are no-cost, quick and easy! If the link doesn’t work, just
go to Amazon and type “Kindle for PC” in their search field.
You
can download a sample of the first few pages if you want to know what
you’re in for – but nearly as important, whether you buy it or not,
please consider clicking on the “Like” (thumb’s up!) button. If you
appreciate my efforts to offer a heartfelt tribute to you and
wild-n-crazy guys and gals who kept us rocking, this will help further
my DJ projects. And like with American Idol, the more who “Like” you
(vote for you), the higher your favorite books rise to the top!
If
you do purchase the ebook, please find a minute in your hectic day to
write a review – again, Amazon counts on their customers to rank their
products and books. (And some comments may end up as testimonials in the
print version – if you don’t want to “go public” with your comments on
Amazon, but wouldn’t mind being a testimonial contributor, feel free to
write to me.)
Latest fun find for Rock & Roll Boomers: Remember Burma-Shave signs on your road trips? http://burma-shave.org/jingles/ We even turned the radio down just to read them aloud.
And if you haven’t seen this site full of vintage radio surveys yet, http://www.manfrommars.com/msurvey.htm,
you may remember the site’s owner, Ed Brouder – aka “The Man from Mars”
– at WDRC/Hartford, CT (1970s). (His site’s a little tough on the ol’
eyes, but with these types of sites, I’ve found highlighting the text
helps readability.)
