Speaking of Greg Johnson

I got an email from him this morning (don't panic: so did many other people...) offering:

The site says it's:

"A First - In what is one of the first offers of it's kind by an established recording artist, Greg has initiated an affordable and unique way of personalizing his songwriting talents direct to his fans! For the week of Feb 3-10th subscribers and fans can have a personalized Valentines Day tune recorded and delivered.

Says Greg "It struck me with technology as it stands there's no reason why I shouldn't have more direct contact with those that like my music, and this seems like the way of the future.. I intend to add more of these designer services to the company in the near future"

I'm so very tempted to pony up the money and order one for myself...

(To the tune of Looking out on Monday)

"The Shopping Sherpa, you're so fine
Always drinking cheap cask wine
You played me on the radio
The other DJs didn't know
The 1980s, they were good for me
But not as good as LA can be
I'm a married man, you can forget me now
And Australia didn't work out somehow..."

(* ARGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!)
