Spreading the Good News about OTR

[bkeith@edcen.ehhs.cmich.edu (Bill Keith)]

Hi

I have a few ideas to spread the good news about OTR.

1.  With the holidays coming I plan to get a few people a copy of "Ohio"
for Christmas.  I just heard from a friend who is having a baby in March
and I figure Over the Rhine's music would also be perfect for her as she
gets ready to have her new boy.

2.  I was at the Ann Arbor show and was blown away.  I brought my fiance.
She never heard Over the Rhine and she loved the show. We also so Ric
Hordinski in concert the week before.  Ric's new album is beautiful and
his show was one of the best I've seen by him.  He even played his cover
of Charlie Peacock, and added a Bruce Cockburn cover too.   

I was thinking, wouldn't it be cool to have a show that rivaled the Taft
show in Ann Arbor at the Michigan Theatre.  We could get all the fans in
the area to bring friends and encourage many others to come.  That theatre
is beautiful and would be a wonderful place to see the band.  If we can
get 300-400 at the Ark and everyone brought a couple friends we could have
at least 1,000.  

3.  I found a copy of the radio release of Ohio at a used record store.
I'm thinking of sending it to a local radio station.  One of the hosts has
played Over the Rhine before and I'm sure she would love this CD.

4.  WDET in Detroit should be playing Over the Rhine.  I can't figure why
they don't.  One of their fill in hosts has.  His name is Jere Stormer
(and he's a fine local musician).  If you ever here Jere filling in you
should call him and request Over the Rhine.  For that matter call Martin
Bandyke and Judy Adams and request them too.

5.  One Detroit area station that has played Over the Rhine is WHFR.  You
can check them out at whfr.fm and listen on line.  You can also search by
artist names and find all the times Over the Rhine has been played.
