An idea...

So it is that time of the year again.
The APCMA's.
That's the Aboriginal People's Choice Music Awards - for those of you who aren't surrounded 24/7 by the music industry. ;)

ANYways...
This will be Don's third year submitting his music to it. He's gotten 7 nominations in the past, but none have ever amounted to a win. This year he is really excited to submit his new CD ('Deepening') that he released earlier this year, but as with anything that repeats itself year after year, the glamour has kinda worn off for his supporters as he never quite gets enough votes. I think this new CD is SO much better than the one that got all the nominations...I really want it to do well this year.

So I've had an idea.

Now, I am no great presence on the internet, but I wanted to help.
The way the APCMA's work is that they have two rounds of voting. First round - vote for who you'd like to see nominated. Second round - vote for who you'd like to win.

So...if you'd like Don and you'd like to help him get some well deserved votes, I was thinking of doing a kinda of blog chain. Just copy the bit below in black and post it on your blog and invite your blog readers to do the same on their blogs! That way, hopefully Don's music will be spread all over the place to people who've never heard of him before, and it will give them a chance to enjoy his music, post it themselves and vote for it!

Join in and let's see how big of a blog chain we can make!
(The first round ends on August 16th, so if you want to join in try and post at least a few days before then...)

Hey Readers, here is a great musician who could your help!

Don Amero is from Winnipeg, Manitoba
You should check out his music and website at donameromusic.com
His latest CD called "Deepening" is up for some awards at the Aboriginal People's Choice Awards in Winnipeg this year and he needs some votes!

If you have a couple of minutes today, you should go there and vote for him. You can go to his website and follow the links or you can go straight to the awards website at aboriginalpeopleschoice.com and cast your vote there! Once you sign up and log in, you can vote for him in these categories:

Entertainer of the Year
Songwriter of the Year
Best Album Cover Design
Best Folk/Acoustic CD
Best Pop CD
Best Producer/Engineer
Best Single of the Year
And...
After you're done, maybe you'd like to post the entire post you just read on your blog so that your readers can vote too. Please feel free! But the deadline for voting is August 16th, 2009..so don't delay-vote today!
