Kenny Love
(Worldwide Radio/Video Promoter & Media Publicist)
It has always...let me repeat that...ALWAYS been extremely difficult for independent and unsigned musicians to get ongoing radio airplay on their own on broadcast radio stations. And, if you are a recording artist who has tried to get airplay on your own, you know that I am telling the truth.But if you are a recording artist who has not yet tried to get airplay on your own, simply ask another recording artist who has tried just how difficult it is.
But today, there is a BIG difference! And, that big difference is that, despite the existence of the Internet and other new technologies, it is even MUCH HARDER to get radio airplay on broadcast stations as an independent or unsigned recording artist on your own than it was in the past.
But for musicians who have never tried to get airplay on their own, and are looking forward to and mistakenly believing they will be able to get hundreds of stations playing their music that comes directly from them, let me say it another way...
Whenever musicians send their music directly to radio stations without using a professional promoter or publicist to do it, it is EXTREMELY DIFFICULT, IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE for independent and unsigned recording artists to get broadcast radio stations to play their music.
So, since I have been a professional worldwide radio/video promoter and media publicist for over 20 years, after having also had a recording career myself, I would like to offer you two options for successfully getting radio airplay, video airplay, and print media coverage worldwide and for MUCH less than you will ever get from another promoter or publicist.
OPTION 1: This option is for CHRISTIAN & GOSPEL recording artists ONLY!. In January, AVE NuStudio is beginning an online Gospel radio station (called AVE NuRadio) that will air both Contemporary and Traditional forms of Christian and Gospel music. The company will be providing more than radio airplay for artists, and the extra services that are included will be various forms of on-air advertising, marketing, promotion, and publicity for each artist. As such, since this effort goes beyond simply radio airplay, a small fee of ONLY $25 per month will be assessed artists to get all of these amazing services in addition to the airplay. For more details, click on this link.
OPTION 2: This option is for EVERY recording artist, regardless of music genre, style, or format. My promotion and publicity services will provide you with a combination package of radio promotion, video promotion (if you have a video), print media publicity, and online promotion and publicity for an entire month for ONLY $225.
Now, it doesn't take a math genius to figure out this is one of the best offers ever for independent and unsigned musicians.
But, wait! The BEST part is below...
* ONE (1) Month of *FREE* Worldwide Gig Promotion & Publicity! *
Even better, in addition, I will also include promotion and publicity for any gigs or live performances you may have for ONE (1) month absolutely FREE! and at NO CHARGE whatsoever, again, regardless of your music genre, style, or format!
Several of my clients have been former major artists (one of whom was a musician on Bill Cosby’s “The Cosby Show” and one of whom was an actor in Mel Gibson’s “Beyond Thunderdome”). By the way…I promoted and publicized three releases worldwide for Cosby’s former musician.

Publishing Industry:
I have also worked in the Publishing industry for over fourteen years, and my publishing credits include being internationally syndicated in both online and print publications. I also have several Fiction works to my credit that include novels, poetry and stageplays.
My first Fiction novel, a cross genre work containing the elements of Science Fiction, Religion, Suspense, and Mystery, was "Millennium Eve," an "end of the world" story line uniquely implemented by turn-of-the-century self-thinking/decision-making androids. While you can see the detailed collage front cover per the above link, which depicts various elements within the story, the back cover is of a United States flag engulfed in smoke with its stripes dripping in blood.
"Millennium Eve" presented the first female president of what was known as "New America," which included Canada. I was a television guest on a couple of stations, and did over 100 radio and newspaper interviews. As expected, I was lambasted by a few Americans for insinuating that America would ever have a female president, and more than a few Canadians sought my head for the guillotine for even merely suggesting that Canada and the United States would ever merge (my belated apology to Mexico for, inadvertently, excluding it from the merger).
In my story, I compared the physical description of my president to actress Geena Davis and, ironically, Geena later played the first female president in a new 2005 television series titled, Commander-In-Chief". Now, as "Millennium Eve" was published seven years prior, I often wonder if I/my story influenced Geena and her show. Hmmm...
In any event, it appears that I may, possibly, soon be vindicated should Hillary become the first female president of these United States and, from what I have recently learned regarding George Bush and the two presidents from Canada and Mexico, of their secretly creating the new Amero currency (which is similar to the European Euro), and which the Amero will replace all U. S., Canadian, and Mexico currency.
My tale of doom opens with my original thematic poem, titled "Yesterday, We Had Tomorrow," of which you can review below:
"Yesterday, We Had Tomorrow"
By Kenny Love
Copyright © 1998 Kenny Love All Rights Reserved
Yesterday, we had tomorrow,
But today, we have neither,
Seems all time was borrowed,
For on life's brink, we teeter,We built houses of sand,
Instead of houses of clay,
We hastened our end,
We lessened each day,On a flight called 'Omnipotence',
Destination unknown,
Via plights of ill significance,
We've sung our last song,So, save all tears of sorrow,
Much too late for a breather,
For yesterday, we had tomorrow,
But today, we have neitherCopyright © 1998 Kenny Love All Rights Reserved

PERSONAL:
My ancestral heritage includes both African American and Native American (Choctaw Indian nation), of which I am equally proud. I have also served as a U. S. Army sergeant and as a police officer.
Here is a photograph of a few members of my family from our most recent family reunion.
Also, one of my slightly famous cousins is Hollywood actor Mirron E. Willis, whom Science Fiction fans and, particularly, Star Trek: Next Generation ("Vorn") and Star Trek: Voyager ("Rettik") fans may recognize.

"How To Unclog Stuffed Nostrils"
(particularly, when all over-the-counter medicines have successfully failed you)By Kenny Love
Do you ever have head congestion so severe and to the point that your nostrils become stuffed, clogged up, even reddened and flared while causing you to almost, literally, blow your brains out into your favorite Sunday handkerchief?
Well, as this ailment had become overly frustrating for me, and I had almost reached a proverbial breaking point, short of using a shishkabob stick, or worse, a welder's torch, here is how I recently elected to unstuff and unclog my own nostrils...
Note: This may also be a method that you wish to use yourself if you have this similar problem albeit with some added precaution that I was not initially privy to and, unfortunately, learned the hard way...
1. I opened my overhead cabinet and withdrew a coffee filter.
2. I then gathered a can of black pepper and a bottle of chili powder.
3. I sprinkled enough of each vigorously into the filter to ensure proper coverage of its bottom.
4. I then gathered all sides of the filter, closing it to form a bag-like container, followed by a brief exercise of shaking it a number of times in an effort to mix the ingredients sufficiently.
5. I then opened the filter and took several big whiffs.
[-----What I Learned From This Experiment-----]:
The first and, possibly, the most important thing that I learned from this experiment was DON'T DO IT!!!
The second thing that I learned was, if you insist on doing it, be sure to close your eyes very tightly so none of the mixture backfires directly into your eyes during your external breaths into the filter. With my equilibrium currently being slightly off balance, along with my inability to establish a cohesive rhythm, I zigged when I should have zagged, and I flipped when I should have flopped.
Thus, my failure to take the proper precautions and get my rhythm right on all accounts resulted in this five-alarm homemade mixture causing a subsequent hellfire and brimstone sensation in my eyes.
And, while I am now blind (hopefully, temporarily), I must admit that I cannot recall when both of my nostrils have been more clear.
One Final Caution: To be on the best possible safe side of preventative care, before employing this procedure, you may wish to consider placing masking tape (or better yet, goggles) over both eyes, as well as consider contacting ETMC and the local fire department in advance to have them standing by in case an emergency occurs.
