Back, in July 2009, I did a review of Jillian LaDage's album, "http://www.tarithcote.com/the_ancestry.cfm" http://ancestral-celt.blogspot.com/2009/07/ancestry.html. If you listened to her album, and enjoyed it, then please take some time to read her message below.

To Friends and Fans of Music Everywhere,
Out of the blue I woke up this morning thinking this:-
Can we make a difference? Can we tell the media what it is we want to hear? Can a virtual unknown Celtic singer (me, Jillian LaDage) garner the attention of a music industry, so commercially focused, in one year's time from the fans?
Of course we can! Why not?! I would not be here without you.
Is this insane? Possibly.
Here is my question to you; can you add 10 friends, family members, and acquaintances as Fans on the Jillian LaDage Facebook Fan Page and the free email mailing list via http://tarithcote.com/join.cfm on my http://www.tarithcote.com/? Can you add 50? 100? What about the newspaper boy, the mail man, the lady in line at the post office, your neighbor down the street? What if at years’ end this page goes from 38 fans to over 5,000? What could happen? Can you imagine? Would the media and music industry take notice? Would they hear our voice? Will you join me in an experiment that lets your voice be heard and is solely directed by you, the fans?
Tell anyone and everyone from now through December 31, 2010. Let’s show the music industry what we as consumers can do. Add your friends through Facebook with a post on my fan wall saying, "(Insert name of the friend, who referred you, here) and I am in!" Copy and paste this message to your wall, emails, letters, flyers, posters, etc. Whatever you have your hands on, use it. Got free advertising space? Use it! Add it to your signature. The ways are endless and let’s create our own phenomenon. One powered by friends and fans of music!
Truly Yours,
Jillian LaDage
