[NEohioPAL]Last chance to vote for Drumplay in 2005 Free Times Music Awards (PLEASE!)

[Oonawolf at aol.com]

Dear Friends and Lovers of the Arts,

Drumplay has once again been nominated in the Ethnic/World music category for 
the 2005 edition of the Cleveland Free Times Music Awards.  We actually won a 
couple of years ago as Best World Music Act 2002.  This is very helpful to 
have this recognition (especially from your peers).

Our last three CDs were recorded with Cuyahoga County Poet Laureate, Daniel 
Thompson; and we REALLY WANT to win one for Daniel, this go-round.

Anyway, we sure would like your vote (it's free to register online); and you 
can do that by going to www.freetimes.com.  Once their home page comes up, 
click on the Music Awards section; register your online presence to ensure 
one 
vote per category; and then find us listed among the other nominess under the 
Ethnic/World music category.  Then cast your vote for Drumplay.

You can also type the following URL into your browser, which links you 
directly to the registration process:

In the alternative, you can pick up a copy of the Free Times; and mail in 
your ballot.  Only one ballot per envelope, please.  The ballot must be 
postmarked no later than February 8, 2005. 

Thanks for taking the time to do this; and if you have not done so already 
(and were planning to), please do it NOW.  Drumplay will see you February 12 at 
the Algebra Tea House as Friends of Daniel will raise money for the Poet Stone 
to be placed at his burial site at Lakeview Cemetary.  The Algebra Tea House 
is located at 2136 Murray Hill Rd. in Little Italy.  

Donations may also be sent c/o Mac's Backs, 1820 Coventry Road, Cleveland
Heights, Ohio  44120, ascribed to "The Daniel Thompson Poet Stone Fund."
