Hello Erika Danip.That’s early. Just voted CMT,still dont hear about GAC.Happy to see his sale goes up because of the MV.And look forward to see him doing more interview to promote his single.BBL

I’ve been up all night working so I’m going to be sleeping today. I haven’t been to bed yet. On the ACC countdown he stated that since ABC is filming the special they get a bit say so on who they want to perform at the music fest. He was talking about how acts/people are chosen and what days/stages there placed on. It was a bit interesting. He also stated it depends on the artist schedule and Brooks and Dunn weren’t there due to other shows already scheduled.
I think his song was played alot yesterday due to Father’s Day. I think that’s why I heard it. I didn’t see on the WMIL’s site though as being played yet. Like that’s a bad thing is still getting one spin per week. Good for Chicago hopefully those guys will be on board soon. Hopefully his spins increase still though since the video is officially out.
Twitter: jevjos
Darryl’s song I haven’t heard yet. But I saw something on all access that he got 18 early adds and his goes officially on the 28th as well. So he might end up getting alot of them next week.
I’m hoping Danny gets his first adds today.
Twitter: steph6449
I heard Darryl’s song on the Nashville Country Club survey. Our more liberal ihearties here probably won’t like it
“Keep the Change” has a more specific meaning than I had thought before hearing the lyrics.
I’m not too clear how hard RCA is pushing for early adds. They may prefer to concentrate them on the formal add date so they get more, there are so many acts with singles going for adds today.
.
Lori posted some pics from the recent concerts, you can see them here

Good Morning ihearties
. I went on CMT this morning and saw Daany wasn’t on the main page anymore for his video 
. You have to go under his name to see the video. But, on the other side, I went to youtube and saw Danny has 4,557 views 
. That is up from 3210 last night – Yay! It’s great to see the add ons increasing. I hope Danny has a good week for sales. Have a great day everyone 
.
Twitter: steph6449
CMT.com still has some of the 9 New Music videos on their main page. Danny’s isn’t one of them, but possibly they may rotate the list where he will be later on.
Good Morning,
Steph, are you going to tweet a reminder from Iheart every morning with links to the power fan, getting started and 5 minutes for Danny. I ask because I was looking for the tweets to retweet this morning and didn’t see any tweets about requesting his song. I think it is important that we start requesting now to show radio stations there is interest befor the song goes for adds next week. My hunch is that RCA wants a lot of adds on the 28th release date.
Twitter: steph6449
Lizzy, thanks for reminder. Just sent a tweet out.
Morning Erika, Mr.Bing, Cherie, Steph, Paula, Lizzy,
Lulu tweeted this new poll for anyone who wants to vote.
LuluGokey
It\’s Danny vs Blake Shelton&Miranda Lambert today! Keep voting!! http://www.953thewolf.com/
Adorable pictures in from Lori. I think they are really sweet. Especially, the one of her kissing Danny on the cheek. So cute!
Loved seeing the rockstar one of Danny & Ivan too. It really warms my heart to see they riding this crazy wave together. It must mean so much to them to be together, and they look to be having a ball. Bet Sophia’s sister cannot believe where they have gone.
Looking forward to the IWNSG on onslaught. This is going to be so good
!
Happy belated Father’s Day to the men, as I wasn’t on yesterday. Hope you all had a special day!
Out to my gardening now! BBL
My local radio station announced today that next season’s American Idol has lowered the age limit for contestants to 15-28. Also, they are supposed to announce the new judge today for next year. I guess once of the auditions will be held on July 21st in Milwaukee
. The radio station said they finally figured out after Danny Gokey, that Milwaukee has some talent.
Twitter: Owlki
Ditto, Steph. Danny is on the CMT front page now.
And twitter keeps on giving me the fail whale…
Midnight. Bed time.
Have a nice day, peeps!
EDIT: Before, he was on the ‘Artists’ tab. They are alternating the 10 big weekend artists on the rotating banner, ‘Music’ and ‘Artists’ tabs.
I’m getting the same error on twitter.
I’m glad that Danny’s back on the front page. I was trying to find Danny’s video this morning on CMT and couldn’t even find it in the search.
Good Night Erika

There’s a new show on CMT or at least I haven’t heard about it before. Top 5 videos from their website get played on the CMT channel.
Today, June 21, 2010, 44 minutes ago
FollowCMT: You clicked, we counted! Watch the top 5 streaming videos on CMT.com NOW on air! Turn on CMT at 11/10c to watch “High 5!”
So glad that West Palm is playing IWNSG! I’ve been requesting it all weekend..
I kinda lurk as I don’t feel I have much to add, but so glad for those that keep us updated on all things Danny.
Jennifer
Akysha,
That’s good news! Hopefully IWNSG will soon be saturating the country’s radio stations. Great Job with the requesting too.
Claudia, I know you are studying but wanted to say Congrats on the Portugal Win today, yeahhhh!!!
Akysha – I’m like you…a lurker, but glad to see you post. Even though we don’t post much, we still love Danny and do whatever we can to promote him. Good for you in requesting IWNSG and your local station is playing it! Mine still haven’t done so. Will keep requesting it, but nicely.
This site is the best ever for all things Danny!!!!!!
Twitter: jevjos
Right now it looks like they don’t have any of the videos of this weekend on the top 5 for cmt online. It looks like its the ones for the CMT awards performances. Hopefully his will get there soon his week. He would get more played more on tv if he were, especially if it’s a separate program. Here’s the list on the left side of the page.
http://www.cmt.com/video/music-videos/
Twitter: jevjos
I have no idea why but Danny’s at 100% over Blake right now which I’m glad. I hope he gets it for a second week.
Danip,
Thanks for posting the Spins for IWNSG that were picked up yesterday. I sent a thank you e-mail to Trish Biondo, DJ at WUSN (US99.5) in Chicago. Having corresponded with her in the past and listened to an interview she did with Danny, I know that she is a huge fan. I sent her a link to both the B&W video and the official video of IWNSG. Hope it was okay to do this.
Betty
Iwas checking out GAC’s website and I noticed that if you click on the GAC TV link on the top and go to that page there is a picture link titled Video Request. I clicked on the link and was able to fill out a form to request a video. I requested IWNSGB. II am hoping if there is interest in danny’s new video they will add it to their rotation and add it to the fan voting request link very soon.
Twitter: JosieInSeattle
Hi everyone. Betty, I think that was a great thing to do. I’d be interested to hear if she writes back to you.
I saw that Matt B. posted Danny’s video on his site this morning. No commentary, which I believe is typical when he posts videos. Too bad, I know he loves the song and would be interested to know what he thinks of the video. I haven’t made a comment there yet but will at some point today.
Twitter: jevjos
I really like Matt it was the B&W video not the official one though.
Hey Josie, Will you post the link for Matt G.?
Hey Lizzy, I must be as blind as a bat.
I can’t find that Video Request page. Is it on GACtv’s main page?
Twitter: jevjos
I posted this last night but it was really late when I did it. This is another voting thing for his song on the pulse board.
http://pulsemusic.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=country&action=display&thread=97913
Yes, it is the B&W video instead of the official one at Roughstock. No comments yet….the last post reviewing I Will Not Say Goodbye ended up with 165 comments there! Wonder if this one will generate that kind of response? It is great to have this video out there circulating along with the official one to keep the buzz going before the big release of the song next week….it is wonderful and Danny’s vocals on it are amazing. I love Matt B. too and his support of Danny
Cherie, I guess Blake and Miranda’s fans have just noticed the poll. Danny has 93.33% with Blake and Miranda having 6.67%. We had better keep voting on that one.
Twitter: JosieInSeattle
Roughstock is at http://www.roughstock.com.
asics, that last article (excellent review of IWNSG) got so much traffic b/c Danny tweeted it. I don’t think that will happen again…unless of course Matt writes an excellent review of the video and that catches Danny’s attention. I have an impression though (could be wrong and I don’t feel like going to look) that Matt doesn’t usually review videos, just posts them. I suppose he could make an exception though.
Twitter: jevjos
I’m definitely voting more just because it’s them. She’s got the #1 song right now so today will definitely be a challenge if he wins.
Twitter: jevjos
There’s the spins that Brian posted on idol chatter for his songs. He should be improved next week.

Here it is with just the monitored spins on pulse
93 90 DANNY GOKEY I Will Not Say Goodbye 14 17 -3 0.112 0.119 -0.007
He moved up a few spots.
I saw Danny Saturday night. He looked great and sang flawlessly. To me, Danny’s voice is so good, it’s like a super-hero power. His voice can go anywhere it wants, high or low, and it can hang on to a note as long as it wishes. His tone is so sweet, that if Danny were singing in a forest, all the animals would be enchanted.
That said, the concert was too loud. From beginning to end, in my opinion, every set was too loud, painfully loud.
Twitter: jevjos
WXCY in Maryland added the song to the forms so hopefully they’ll play it soon.
Twitter: jevjos
Milw area got another country station 106.9 however the format doesn’t really fit his song. It’s more older stuff but his song was played on the am station so maybe they’ll give it a try.

Good Afternoon Ladies!

Danny just acknowledge the AI 10 auditions in Milgokey! he is so proud and excited! hmm will AI also acknowledge that “hey, this is Danny Gokey’s hometown!” like what AI used to do in Texas, Georgia etc where Idols’ hometown was in the past seasons??..hmm

vickieCarol – Is Casey on the same label as Danny? do we have to worry? or be happy?
I just voted again on that poll for 95.3. Danny is at 88% now. I believe you can vote more than once a day, right? How long does that poll go on? On youtube, Danny is at 4889 views. I think a lot of people are starting to view it, or people like me who keep viewing it over and over- ha, ha.
VickieCarol,
From home page, click on TV and go to GAC TV page, There is a small green box in the mid left of page, click on box and you have to fill out a small form with video you want to request and why.
Twitter: jevjos
Yep about Casey
That Milw station is WJZX, they have Pray for you on the request form. So if that ones’s available I can imagine that Danny’s could be at some point. This is another station for the Milw people to request at now.
Blake’s/Miranda’s fans are getting there. The one with Darius was still going really early this morning from Friday, so it might not end until tomorrow or later on tonight.
Twitter: jevjos
I’m getting good at figuring things out. You can use the mediabase forms to request the videos on GAC, etc. You have to remove the fm and put tv in it. Here’s the link.
http://www.mediabase.com/mmrweb/7/stationplaylistrequest.asp?c_let=gac-tv
Thanks Lizzy, I’ll try again.
GokeyGuy, I don’t think they have announced Casey signing yet. Last I heard Casey said that he was waiting to hear back from the label he met with in Nashville. Although, if he does sign I don’t think he will be allowed to announce it right away. Well, Danny wasn’t allowed to announce it until the tour was over. But who knows. Casey may be able to announce it earlier.
Twitter: JosieInSeattle
Cherie, that’s awesome! You can also replace the gac with cmt and it works, and Danny’s new video is listed on it. For the gac one, I wrote it in.
Twitter: JosieInSeattle
Whoops, I spoke too soon. cmt-tv looked like it worked, but it doesn’t.
Twitter: jevjos
http://www.mediabase.com/mmrweb/7/stationplaylistrequest.asp?c_let=cmtp-tv
Here’s another one. I have no idea who these guys are though.
I tried it for CMT and I only got half of the form so that one isn’t right. At least we have an easy way for GAC now.

Any fans in Canada? I think this one’s for you, looks like an Ontario station.

Happy Monday Everyone! Hope everybody’s weekends were peaceful!
Thanks to all for the updates about spins, articles and voting links…
Here’s hoping that Sony/RCA get on the ball this week and upload the acoustic and official videos to the DG and/or VEVO YouTube Channels – I don’t know what they are waiting for! I had uploaded the Acoustic video at people’s request to my channel but they (Sony) pulled it after 2 weeks and I got a Copyright Infringement strike…Not too concerned about that part but I was expecting after mine was pulled to see Sony uploading it officially to YT themselves…but..nope! Not sure what their thinking is here…YT is a big marketplace for generating interest and they aren’t using it! It’s fine and great to put the videos on DG.com but that’s for existing fans…the focus really needs to be on bringing in new people and new people aren’t going to know about going to DG.com to watch these videos…I hope they rev up their marketing more soon… *s*
I’m impatient…I know! =)
Twitter: jevjos
This is the last video one that I can think of-VH1
http://www.mediabase.com/mmrweb/7/stationplaylistrequest.asp?c_let=vh1-tv
Twitter: jevjos
Karri I wish they would do that. It makes sense to me. Especially now since it’s been a while for the B&W one at least.
I’m sure there is some reasoning behind it, Cherie…but, for the life of me…I can’t think what it is…The beauty of YouTube is some of those videos go ‘viral’ and they get linked all the heck over the place and that dominos out, creating whole new groups of people who see it and may take it one step further to learning about Dan, buying a single even..who knows…But if the videos aren’t there, there is no chance for that too happen!
Karri,
That doesn’t make sense to me either. They just need to distribute the video everywhere they can to get it out to the public. JUST DO IT!!!
Cherie, You are keeping me busy today. I voted for the VH1 and the GAC mediabase. I don’t think I voted on the CMT one though. I’d better stop slacking off, ha.
The Wolf poll has Danny at 89%, I’ve got to power vote some more.

This is another contest for Glass Cactus, I don’t think Steph posted this one yet, for a “Girls Night Out VIP experience”. You have to watch something tomorrow morning to get a code to enter.

Hey Karri! Welcome here! I saw your videos on YT! they are impressive and very well done! we will never know how these people will promote these new videos, maybe they have either personal or marketing reasons for that. Im with you with the waiting, Im still waiting for that video to be on sale on Itunes but maybe it will end up next week for public consumption.
Thanks for all the info on the other voting polls. I will have to get voting some more
. Isn’t Miley Cyrus on a country label? I saw her performance for “Can’t be tamed” which was performed last night at some canadian awards show. She seems more mainstream by far than country. Adam Lambert also performed.
Twitter: jevjos
I think the cmtp one above is for the CMT pure channel.
They played Danny’s video twice on CMT TV this morning. CMT Music ran for 5 hours from 6am to 11 am and they played Danny’s video at 8:01 and 10:32 this morning. Glad to see they have it in rotation.
As to those wondering why Danny’s label does not want it on Utube or his official site or other sites except CMT.com – I guess it could be they want fans to buy the video on Itunes and are waiting for the song to be officially released or maybe they have a deal with CMT that for his video to be played on the Big New Music Weekend, it cannot be on Utune or other sites for a certain amount of time. I know that I tweeted Matt Bjorke of Roughstock requesting he put it on his site and he tweeted me back that he couldn’t until it was available on Utube, etc. I also emailed Brian Mansfield at USA Today asking him to post it and he hasn’t yet probably for the same reason as he always posts Danny news/music.
GokeyGuy, Is Aaron Kelly talking to Nashville labels too? I didn’t know that.
Thank you for the welcome GG *s*
And Lizzy…could be true about waiting for it to go on sale on iTunes but it’s that old chicken and the egg argument…If the people that know about it are limited then so are sales…The more public exposure it has to general population outside of the fan base, more chance that a larger number of people would be going to iTunes to purchase it…
Awww well…we shall see! *smiles*
Twitter: jancute
VickieCarol – oh I don’t know, maybe soon. The reason why I said that is that Aaron has a history of singing Country Music in Nashville… he probably will fit quite fast on that genre… For Casey? hmm neee its still bland for me.
Lizzy – maybe thats the main reason why… we have to wait for itunes to sell the video first then we can do whatever we want with the video either post it to any websites or something…
To LURKER @ 1:46 p.m.: I went to the Sugarland concert in Scranton with a friend, and we had to leave in the middle of Luke Bryan’s set because it was too loud (even with earplugs) and the music made my friend sick. (In fact, she is still having problems with her ear and is setting up an appointment with her doctor.) I was debating whether to attend another Sugarland concert by myself, but your comment has given me pause. Why do they have to play music so loud that it’s a health risk? Do they really think people won’t attend concerts unless they do? The irony here is that the music was so loud that Luke’s vocals were distorted.
Saw that picture of Casey James with Josh Thompson and Sony Music Nashville reps. Josh Thompson is with Columbia Nashville so that may who he is signing with. That would be an Idol on each of Sony Music Nashville’s labels, Carrie on Arista, Kellie on BNA, Casey on Columbia and Danny on RCA. That’s my guess anyway.
Hi Karri- sorry I didn’t welcome you before. You have done an awesome job on Danny’s video
Glad to see you’re a true danny fan. I agree with you, the more publicity for his song, the likelihood someone will buy it form itunes. I voted on all the websites today. Today is my last vacation day 
. That is why I am able to comment so much. Unfortunately, back to work tomorrow.
REQUEST FOR EVERYONE: If there are polls that would be helpful to Danny, I really wish that people would e-mail the link to Erika or Steph, so that the polls could be added to the “Vote for Danny” section. I find all the ad hoc links confusing, and I don’t want to have to scroll through the discussion pages for links. The whole idea behind “Vote for Danny” was that it would be a central repository for voting links. (It’s perfectly okay to remind people to vote, though, and to update everyone about current result.)
I, for one, am drawing a line in the sand and will refuse to vote for anything that is not listed under “Vote for Danny.”
Twitter: jancute
Karri – BTW, I loved your Dannyvideos like the “My Wish” fanvideo and “Its Only” video YAY! hmm maybe well have to wait until June 28 for the official release of IWNSG on the radio and maybe the video will follow on Itunes for sale… Its not the same story with MBDAAOM though cuz the song is released first then after two months, it was released on Itunes. if im not mistaken it was on the first week of February… and MBDAAOM was released on Decemeber last year.
Ellen, That music was even loud with earplugs? That’s really dangerous. I hope your friend’s hearing gets better. That’s horrible!
Karri, I forgot to tell you that I really enjoy your videos. I am amazed at your talent. Looking forward to your future videos too.
Thanks Lizzy, I submitted my video request on the GAC site. Still wonder how I could have been so blind. It was right in front of me.
Twitter: jancute
Lizzy – what label did Bucky Covington signed with?
Does anyone else think it is a little odd that I Will Not Say Goodbye has not gotten any adds whatsoever and not that many spins either, especially with all the buzz the song is getting. Do you think that RCA’s strategy is for the radio stations to hold off on the song so it gets a lot of adds on the 28th and also is a hot shot debut on Billboard? Or is that just wishful thinking on my part. It just seems to me that the song is getting much better reviews and people seem to be much more excited about this song than his first.
Twitter: jevjos
It looks like he didn’t get any early adds so it’s next week then.
Wanted to add that Eric Church’s “Smoke” song goes for adds next week also and has already gotten adds, spins and is on Billboard. Just kind of makes me go hmmm.

Hey guys, lets support SHF by just a click away! this was on twitter
http://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=137489016266182&id=49133029269
GokeyGuy,
Bucky Covington is signed with Lyric Street Records. President Randy Goodman, formerly a general manager for RCA Records, founded the label in 1997.
Bucky was originally signed with Lyric Street, same label as Rascal Flatts and they just closed down a couple of months ago. Rascal Flatts and Bucky were picked up by Warner Brothers (I Believe) that owned Lyric Steet. At first there were rumors that they might not keep Bucky but they did but I’m not sure how much promotion he is going to get. He released an EP which didn’t do so well but his new song is doing good on the charts so people are thinking he may get to release his album which was pushed back.
Twitter: jevjos
I don’t think he’ll debut on billboard next week but you never know. I think he’s too far back right now.
Lyric street closed and is no longer, he’s going with somebody else.
Just voted for IWNSGB on CMT top 20 video’s!
Woohoo – look at the email I just got from Crooks and Chase countdown show.
Hey, Liz. Just wanted to let you know that our producer says Danny’s song is Lorianne and Charlie’s pick for the Bound For The Countdown hit this coming weekend! Listen for it near the middle of the final hour of The Crook & Chase Countdown! Hope you are able to catch it.

Actually there is a way for him to get it next week. Chicago has to play him. A few spins from those guys will do wonders for him. The number doesn’t need to be that many. They’ve just added the song to the form as well. I’ve been waiting all day for them to do it. If anyone is in Chicago area please request his song.

Lizzy that’s the best news right now.
Twitter: jancute
Lizzy, VickieCarol – thanks for the info on Bucky’s label…
Cherie, Is the mediabase request just for once a day? I requested on the CMT one too. So, I’ve covered them all, well, just not the local stations that are on the vote for Danny page. But I’ll do that later, I guess. It’s really easy to do and I like doing the ones that aren’t a hassle. Oh, and thanks for posting the links. I actually rely on the post of links on this discussion page, to help me remember and to vote and request on the ones that I wouldn’t otherwise have seen.
Twitter: JosieInSeattle
Yay for Danny being back on the CMT Top 20! Is Steph around, this should definitely be tweeted!
Wow, that’s great Lizzy! You Go Girl!!!
Thank you Paula, GG & Vickie…I enjoy making the videos… they are an outlet for me and I’m happy when others enjoy them too…I’m kind of a sickly thing so the videos are a way I can have some creative fun now and then while cooped up…Besides, it feeds my fan-girly tendencies in a more subdued way and that is better for everyone! hee hee hee
Several people have asked why I chose “Dear John” as the video clips to use for IWNSG and why “Eat Pray Love” for ISB…Couple reasons really…the songs fit both of the movies (at least conceptually) and, an even bigger reason, I am trying to reach a wider audience for Danny’s music…I knew “Dear John” would be a popular movie and that would drive some to watch my video just to see the clips from the movie but by then, you have nabbed them into also listening to DG’s song and there have been many people who didn’t watch AI or know about Danny who have loved the song…so it works to some extent that way…it’s had over 210,000 views in 4 mths – it’s my hope that leads to some sales for Danny too…Hoping the same will be true with the Eat Pray Love video too…that movie doesn’t come out until August but I think it will be pretty big! Now I just have to find a match for “Crazy Not to”…haven’t found that match yet! *s*
In any case…I am trying to post a bit more here, there and everywhere (when I don’t feel particularly well and therefore grumpy I stay far away..no worries! *LOL*)…I definitely follow along with all things DG and am endlessly amazed how much work so many of you put in to keeping up with the news – you are a MAJOR reason Dan continues to do so well!
The country aircheck newsletter I got today has the advertisement from RCA Nashville that flashes between Martina, Jake, Chuck and Danny bigger and on the top. There is almost nothing in the newsletter but the advertisement.
Lizzy, Oh, Bucky isn’t with Lyrics anymore? The Wiki page hasn’t been updated. I don’t think that will ever happen to Danny’s label, right? I’ll bet that was a bit scary when Bucky lost his contract. I’m glad that he is with another label.
Twitter: jevjos
The mediabase form is once per hour, you can request whenever.
Twitter: jancute
Karri – very nice observations… you just made Danny’s songs fit to be a theme song for any major movie in the future. I hope it will be true, hmm maybe on his next album but anyway, you are such a dedicated fan helping Danny in you own way.
Twitter: jevjos
Bucky got lucky when they happened. Love and theft and Sarah Buxon didn’t. Their song when recurrent not long after it happened. I don’t see this happening with RCA Nashville thankfully-it’s RCA after all. They’ve been around forever so I don’t see them going anywhere.
Josie,
Thanks, I didn’t know that! That’s great! I just voted for IWNSG on the CMT top 20. Are you going to tweet it? I’ll retweet if you do. I know that Steph and Erika will send one out too. I’ll retweet that one too. Got to get the word out to the fans.

Karri, I’m sorry to hear that you have health problems, but glad that you have something you love to do that so many people enjoy! That’s a huge number of views. I think it’s really nice that a lot of people are choosing Danny’s music to make their own tribute videos, there are two new ones that were loaded on youtube just in the last day, another sign of how much the song resonates with people.
I think you’re right that the people here make a real difference. We all have different things that we’re good at and contribute in different ways, but it’s a great team!
I’m sure you’ll have everyone thinking now about what movie would make a good video for “Crazy Not To”!
Twitter: jevjos
All it takes is Chicago to play his song around one dozen times for a billboard debut. Just Chicago, but I can’t see them playing him that much.
I think the forms are a good way to hopefully get his video played more on tv. Since his video has been watched alot he could hit it high on the cmt top 20 this time. I glad I realized it sooner rather than later.
Ha! Josie…I hope so…somebody might have an inspiration for what movie fits “Crazy Not To” before me and I’m okay with that! LOL I only use Sony/Columbia made movies so that there is less chance of stepping on toes with them…but that limits my selection…Some of the stuff they put out nowhere near fits any of Danny’s songs..LOL I’m waiting for them to release the trailer for “The Soul Surfer” as I can almost guarantee I will be using that one for another DG song!
Twitter: JosieInSeattle
VC it was wahoobeat who first mentioned the CMT Top 20, thanks wahoobeat! She just tweeted and I RT’d- tag, you’re it!
Okay Josie, I’m on it.
By the way…Not sure if this has been linked already for SophiasHeart needs votes to win a portion of the 5 million that Chase is giving to 200 charities – You can follow SHF through facebook to vote…*s*
Great news on the CMT Top 20 countdown poll so now I Will Not Say Goodbye is on CMT Pure and CMT Top 20, all we need is GAC to get it on their viewers voting poll.
Twitter: steph6449
Hi all, I see Amy or Erika tweeted about the CMT Top 20 countdown voting. I’ll look later and add it to the voting pages if they haven’t done so.
I’m not too worried about early adds. If RCA wanted to have adds this week, seems to me they wouldn’t have pushed back the date til next week when the coast looked clearer. The Country Aircheck ad says “Please Add on 6/28.”
Glad to see though that stations are airing it early and getting feedback, I don’t remember that happening at all (?) with MBD before it went for adds in December.
My guess on why the video isn’t yet at YT/vevo or iTUnes is same as Lizzy, that the “CMT Exclusive” probably has terms that require some waiting period before the video is released other places. The acoustic video could be tied into that, or they may just not want to promote that broadly now as it would compete with the official video.
Yay about Crook & Chase, if they air IWNSG next weekend, that will bring a bunch of spins that should count for moving IWNSG up the charts a bit. I forget how many, but that show is carried in quite a lot of places including WMZQ here in DC.
Nice to see Akysha, lurker and others here today
Twitter: steph6449
ps – if anyone lives or works in an area where your country station runs that Big D and Bubba show, be sure to request that they play IWNSG?
They pretty much pushed Danny to release it, said they were fans, and that it was a great song they would definitely play. And their show also is syndicated or shared out to a number of stations, plus it’s a daytime show for more audience share.
To Ellen B. @ 4:39: I agree Luke’s sound was distorted. For me his set was just noise (not music) from beginning to end. I didn’t understand a word. My friend could not understand Danny’s words but commented he had a good voice. Sugarland sounded the same on every song. The concert was so loud, I felt scared by the wall of sound. I kept trying to understand why people pay for such pain. Is this loudness common to most concerts? Is it a “The Emperor’s New Clothes” thing where everyone pretends it’s okay, or is there so much hearing loss that people don’t realize how loud it is? Is my hearing too sensitive? Is it the venue, or is it Sugarland deciding the noise level for their concerts? Is it equilvalent to bigger is better so louder means we’re having more fun? I don’t get it. I made earplugs out of tissue and stuffed those in my ears, but I still felt vibrations in my chest from the pulsing of the noise. (We left early to get away from the torture.)
I wonder if Danny’s shows without Sugarland are as loud as the ones with them.
Twitter: steph6449

My huge post just eaten because I’m not used to having to put in my address here.\
No more time left here on my Mexico internet (spent catching up on posts, email and some voting) but I really miss everyone here- so funny how I miss all my fellow gokeygolics even though I’ve never met the vast majority!
BBL, not sure when
Sounds like everyone is in great voting mode

Pam, I feel your pain (of losing your posts when using a “strange” computer).
Nice to hear from you.
Just did a ton of voting and of course watched the video today. I was glad to hear that IWNSGB will be featured on Crooks and Chase!! Yeah!

Howdy,
Lots of posts tonight.
I am not so worried about the spins coming into this week, believe me last week was no picnic for the songs going for adds this week. I see that Steel Magnolia got 30 adds today and they in no way had that much interest.
I am curious why Brian has not even commented on the video, I posted a comment on his Random Memo over the weekend basically giving him the bone to at least say he’d seen it or he was planning to comment later, but no response.
Album #s from last week :

Twitter: JosieInSeattle
LOL my husband just called me on the intercom from upstairs and said “do you have a lot of windows and tasks open right now?”. Me: “Yes, I’m voting for Danny on a bunch of stuff”. He is trying to do some of his networking stuff and the system is telling him that it is VERY BUSY. Ha! He is teasing me that I must have learned how to program and have automated voting programs running. If I knew how to do them, I probably would!
I really don’t think it’s me though, it’s probably one of his gadgets that he’s forgotten about.
You guys should be seeing a new theme
Many thanks to Erika for helping create the header!!
Twitter: JosieInSeattle
It looks beautiful Amy! Great job Erika! I noticed there is a black Tshirt picture in there, lol!
hiya everyone,hope ya’ll are doing good. my uncle’s girlfriend had her baby on may 27th at 1:27 pm they still don’t know if she’ll need surgery or not they will find out on july 2nd,keep you’re fingers crossed,they named her natalie marie.here’s some picture’s of her,she is really tiny in person she so cute tho.i had to shorten the link because it was so long so here you go
http://tinyurl.com/2vohv78
To LURKER @ 6:34 p.m.: No, Danny’s solo concerts do not seem too loud. I saw him at Bushwhackers in Portland, Oregon, and it was loud enough, but not so loud to cause a problem or take away from enjoyment. Also, I saw Danny on the AI Tour last year in Wilkes-Barre, at what was then called the Wachovia Arena. I had worried about how loud it would be because I have an existing hearing loss caused by a childhood infection, but the noise level was tolerable. It can’t be a venue thing if the problem is occurring in multiple settings, so it must be a Sugarland thing.
I also wonder about the “Emperor’s New Clothes.” Do fans really want the music so loud that it distorts the performers voices, so that you can’t hear and appreciate the uniqueness of the individual performers’ voices? BTW, your description is exactly what my friend and I experienced, even with earplugs.
HEY, EVERYBODY, CAN OTHERS WHO HAVE ATTENDED DANNY’S SOLO EVENTS WEIGH IN ON WHETHER YOU THOUGHT THEY WERE TOO LOUD? HOW DID THEY COMPARE TO SUGARLAND (FOR THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN TO BOTH)?
(P.S.) This makes me worry about Danny’s hearing. The music industry is replete with examples of musicians who have lost their hearing. And contrary to what many people think, a hearing aid may not provide a solution in the same way that glasses can for vision problems. It depends on the nature of the hearing loss. I cannot use a hearing aid, for example.
Amy,
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the new header! Great Job Amy and Erika!!!
Twitter: steph6449
Amy, glad to see the new banner up
.
I didn’t find the sound too loud at either Sugarland concert I went to (Colorado Springs, Columbia MD), nor at most of his solo shows. Perhaps it is a venue issue.
It was mighty loud at Coyote Joe’s in Charlotte, but we were all dumb enough to be standing in front of some ginormous speakers by the stage so I’d have to say that was our own fault. It was on the louder side in Raleigh, but not uncomfortably so.
.
This is what Country Aircheck shows for adds today. Julianne got 9 for her new song, don’t remember if she had any early ones but that’s not all that many for her really. I was surprised reading the thread for that Pulse poll that some there were really digging her new song (eek). Steel Magnolia did quite well though, coming after their debut song which eventually peaked in the top 5.
Sadly, that Billy C “Drinkin’ Beer” song is doing quite well in adds and moving up the charts. Big shocker there…
Twitter: JosieInSeattle
Hi Rachel! Little Natalie Marie is beautiful! I hope she doesn’t have to have surgery or that if she does that it goes perfectly. Nice to see you back here!
thank you josie hopefully they don’t find tumors in her lungs,like they did when my uncle’s girlfriend was carrying her.
Twitter: JosieInSeattle
Danny’s still ahead but losing ground in that radio station poll. I saw that someone sent a taunting tweet to Blake Shelton about losing to Danny, I suppose his fans noticed that.
http://www.953thewolf.com/
I was reading the Billboard newsletter and this is what they have for songs going for adds next Monday – looks like Darius Rucker’s song was pushed back to July 8th
6/28
DANNY GOKEY I Will Not Say Goodbye 19/RCA Nashville
DARRYL WORLEY Keep The Change Stroudavarious
JOHN RICH Country Done Come To Town Reprise/WAR
SUNNY SWEENEY From A Table Away Republic Nashville

I can see why RCA pushed Danny single back to the 28th – I am hoping they are pushing for a lot of adds for IWNSGB. Keep requesting every – we are doing a great job at showing interest for Danny’s song. We have a week until the big debut.
Twitter: jevjos
I think Billy’s song is a top ten on Itunes already. I don’t know why people like it. I think it’s one of the worst beer songs, I liked People are crazy a little bit. The Band Perry song is already in the top 30 and they just went top 40.
I love the header it shows off the page very much.
Danny’s at 85% against Blake and Miranda and doing good against them. I didn’t think it would be that good.
Steph, Amie, or Erika,
I don’t see a new banner…is it supposed to be across the top of the page to replace the AI pictures? Wonder why it isn’t showing up for me…
Welcome back Rachel
Twitter: JosieInSeattle
Rachel, I hope they don’t either! You all must be very concerned. She looks wonderful though, I hope that whatever it was is gone now.
Twitter: jevjos
I hope Blake doesn’t mind losing to Danny in it.
Can someone who is a Billboard expert tell me what Call Out America is? Everytime I read the newsletter they make a big deal about the songs rated highest on Call Out American – they even have a list of the top songs. Is is similar to streetpulse and can you do it online or is it an actual telephone survey with country music fans?
Twitter: JosieInSeattle
Cherie, I can’t imagine Blake cares about a radio station poll,but it’s fun seeing Danny continue to win though. I’m going to keep an eye on it though b/c I saw Danny’s lead start to go down and not sure just how many p-o’d Blake fans might be out there clicking away.
Twitter: JosieInSeattle
Lizzy, my understanding is that Call Out America is a telephone survey. It’s not self-selecting in the way that Rate the Music is, they develop their own phone lists. I think the phone lists might come from the listeners clubs of certain radio stations. Could be other sources too, not sure.

Hi Rachel, we’ve missed you here.
.
Toby’s song hasn’t gone for adds yet? I thought it came out earlier this month. I’ve heard it on radio here a few times. Maybe that’s just the privilege of a big star that the add date doesn’t matter, but I still thought it had already happened and wasn’t as far away as next week.
In AI world, Bo Bice was supposed to be going for adds today? I don’t see that he got even one according to the Country Aircheck list unless I’ve missed it. Ouch for him.
.
I thought that was unnecessary for that person to tweet that to Blake, sheesh.
.
Another wannabe-hater having a tough day
for the brave at heart, there is also a thread up at ontd-ai. mostly mocking but some bona fide comments who seem to like it.
http://community.livejournal.com/ontd_ai/4214859.html
.
Casey seems to have some pretty fervent, not to say arrogant, supporters. They are up at arms at mj’s after someone posted that he has a smaller fanbase than Danny’s, which has got to be true. I’d guess he probably has a smaller or similar fanbase to Allison from AI8, if I had to pick someone.
asics717, you might need to delete the cache in your browser.
Thanks everyone for the compliments!
Thanks Amie…
But…I will have to admit my limitations here… how do I “delete the cache in my browser”? I have no idea what that even means!
I wonder if the tweeter (to Blake) was a hater trying to stir up trouble, or a Blake fan trying to rally the troops? Wasn’t there an attempt a while back to get Blake to say something bad about Danny? (Memory is not so good, so I’m most likely wrong about that.)
Twitter: JosieInSeattle
Amy, I just tweeted you a recipe, I don’t think you follow me so thought I’d mention it in case it works for you for dinner tonight.
Steph, I just read your post at mj’s and it makes perfect sense. It’s just a fact that interest was lower this year, it’s not a personal slam against Casey.
Amy…I just realized I spelled your name wrong…sorry!
Twitter: steph6449
Josie, I was trying to be nice
I do think Casey’s fan base is smaller than Danny’s, as would be Crystal vs. Adam, Lee vs. Kris (I guess, though I’ve never been too sure how large Kris’s core fanbase was, vs. how fervent and nimble with the power-texting, lol).
And Casey was in the bottom a couple of times at least this year, wasn’t he? Suggesting to me proportionately he was probably further back behind the leaders week to week in AI9, than Danny ever was in AI8 when he was often the front-runner or at least safely toward the top of the voting.
But still, if he has enough fans to get signed and can put out his music, good for Casey. I know Pam and probably others like him here, I’m sort of neutral about him although his less charming fans may make me change my mind
w-m seems to be a big Casey lover, hmm.
Twitter: JosieInSeattle
Steph, the latest I saw over there was a hope that Casey will have bluegrass on his album. Pam would LOVE that wouldn’t she?
I’m just teasing. I actually do like some bluegrass every once in awhile but that’s not where I think most of Casey’s fans would be expecting him to go. I do like Casey, admire his guitar playing and I think he seems like a sweet guy. He’s been doing some twitter parties in which he seems really nice, of which I have observed a little bit but not participated b/c I have hardened my heart, lol. As I told Indigo one day when he wanted me to watch a Lee video, ok, but I’m not getting attached to another one. 
Amy/Erika- awesome job
. It looks really nice. Hi Rachel- nice to see you posting. Hope you are doing ok. It will be interesting to see if Casey signs with Danny’s label. I just don’t see him as talented as danny, not to say he won’t have a hit record.
Twitter: Owlki
Thanks, guys.
The changing in the top banner was waaaay overdue.
Josie, I answered your e-mail.
Twitter: steph6449
GGP is tweeting that Danny will be on a GAC special about BamaJam. He may be, I don’t see anything on the GAC page that really confirms which artists they will feature.
The short snippet they had with Danny last weekend on Headline Country was from BamaJam, not CMA Fest.
http://www.gactv.com/gac/shows_spl/episode/0,3038,GAC_26200_70194,00.html
.
Josie, lol. Yes, last post I read at mj’s was hoping that Casey would record some of that bluegrass playing his mandolin
Not that I hate bluegrass although I find Casey kind of squishy somehow. I love Alison Krauss’s voice though, and she with her Union Station band are in that vein.
I can see the banner now….great job ladies!!!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE the banner.
Karri congrats on the viral video. I watched it and really like it. Kudos. 200K hits is nothing to sneeze at.
Have gone to several Danny solo concerts and they are really not loud compared to others I have gone to. Of course I always try to be at the front of the stage (Steph, sometimes standing near you). My hearing doesn’t go out but after Raleigh I literally couldn’t speak for 3 days and when my voice came back I sounded like a frog.
Twitter: Owlki
Awww, this is sweet: http://cameronmagee.blogspot.com/2010/06/laura-met-danny-gokey.html
And post about AI 10 auditions in Milwaukee with interview w/ Danny about it: http://iheartdannygokey.com/index.php/2010/06/21/jsonline-idol-spotlights-shines-on-milwaukee/
He surely has his ideas right. Love what he said about AI auditions being ‘brutal’.
After voting at CMT 20, I clicked videos then put Danny’s name in search box that came up. At the bottom left under listing of his videos, CMT had a list of their 20 most streamed videos. Danny’s IWNSGB was # 19.
Twitter: ***********
Heard Danny singing in the background as they interviewed Dierks Bently at BamaJam. They might have him on but I stopped watching after an hour. They interviewed Chris Young and he mentioned Danny being one of the acts there.
Blake does have a huge twitter following, so keep on voting. Just voted at CMT Top 20. Is that only once a day like GAC? I ask because it let me vote again. Don’t know if that was a mistake.
Twitter: Owlki
On CMT and CMT Pure you can vote as much as you want.
Twitter: jannworth
Erika and Amy, I love the new banner! I was so ready to see the new Danny instead of the ol’ AI Danny (not that I don’t get nostalgic now and then–as I type WHTM is playing, but only because I played MBD over 2 times in a row.)
Can I help pick the pictures next time? I’d love to spread them out around me……
Fan girling to the max, here! Jan
Twitter: Owlki
Danny’s official YT channel is finally showing IWNSG. It’s saying that it’s blocked on my country, though, even using US IP. Can you guys see it? http://www.youtube.com/dannygokey#p/u/6/_pKliDlrHpc

Darn it– I had to retype my name and goofed it up. Erika, can you release my comment from moderation?
Twitter: Owlki
Free, Jan. LOL!
Twitter: ***********
Thanks, Erika. I will go back and vote some more. I remember when Danny was on the Pure Pack for awhile before he made the top 20 vote. I think this is a sign of good things to come.
Twitter: Owlki
Picking pics is very hard, Jan… too many good options to choose from! LOL!
Erika, is the link you posted not for the US? It said the content was not available for viewing “in your country.” But I live in the US!
Just tried the YouTube Danny Gokey channel and it is blocked
Twitter: Owlki
I want to retweet Michael Sarver plugging his album from the ihrt account. Do you guys think it’s ok? Like, nothing to do with Danny, and I didn’t really listen to Michael’s new material, but he’s Danny’s friend… Not sure it’d make any difference because Michael has much more followers on twitter than we do but I guess wouldn’t hurt…
I tried to view it from my youTube subscriptions. It also says that it was uploaded 2 weeks ago. Guess the long reach on CMT extends to Danny.
Twitter: jannworth
Odd. When I went to DG.com and clicked on play the IWNSGB video, it wanted to play Lady A’s video. The same thing happened to me when I went to CMT earlier this evening. Did anyone else have a problem?
I follow Michael and he is a nice guy. He always tweets nice things about Danny. Pay it forward.
Twitter: Owlki
They usually do it with Danny’s videos on YT. They upload it some time before and then release it when the time is right.
Twitter: steph6449
The IWNSG video at Danny’s YT channel is blocked for me, too. Maybe they are still setting it up to be available later in the week.
Ah, Danny is still on the main page at CMT.com though
Interesting that Miley Cyrus is there also, esp after she did that interview that was widely circulated where she made negative comments on country music.
That was a very cute blog, awwww. What a nice boyfriend or husband she has.
.
oops, another one is having angst about IWNSG {sorry for the language, that’s how they talk at ontd-ai}
fffffffffffuuuuuuuuuu i’m liking gokey’s new single
Battery dying on laptop. Night all.

Erika, when you come to Wisconsin, we can fill our “idle” time by discussing the artistic merit of the various photo choices.. ……
Twitter: Owlki
Jan, that’s because the link on DG.com is pointing to Lady A’s video… I thought about leaving a comment about it when I saw it but I feared it might sound a bit like ‘bitching’.
Twitter: jannworth
Erika, is there a way to let their web guy know he needs to fix the link–and that he’d actually notice?
Twitter: Owlki
Kathy, the ‘official’ IWNSG video that is on YT now is not official. It wasn’t uploaded by Danny’s official channel. I guess they will release the ‘blocked’ status soon, at least to the US. But then I suppose the video will be gone from CMT’s front page too.
Twitter: Owlki
I don’t know, Jan. Never received an answer for the e-mails I sent to DGO.
Twitter: jannworth
BTW, there’s a photo from the CMT Fanfest of Danny performing in front of a huge crowd at LP stadium—I think the magnitude of some of these performances would look really nice in a banner……
Just a suggestion. Jan
Twitter: jannworth
Erika, DGO could learn a ton from you, Amy and Steph. While I have tried out DGO, this is the place for all Danny news. I do touch in over there, but nothing like this obsession.
Too bad they won’t respond to constructive suggestions. The webmaster obviously doesn’t have their heart in it like I<3DG.
Twitter: ***********
Erika, It may not have been uploaded by Danny’s channel, but it is the same video. I didn’t notice anything different about it. Are you trying to put it on other sites and that is what is blocked? Not a computer person so this stuff is way over my head.
Also, one other thing I noticed. Went back to vote again on CMT Top 20. It let me vote several times, but it does say at the top of the page that you are to vote only once a day. Don’t want my votes disqualfied. What do you make of that?
Twitter: tonicny
Hello! Awesome job!, love the new look and great selections on the pics.
Asics 17 if you are lurking here please note that I give permission to Amy, Erika or Steph to give you my email address. Email me so that we can connect before summerfest to share phone numbers since we will be staying in the same hotel unless you have twitter and I could DM it to you.
Rachel good to see you on hear I like your new gravatar.
I just got home a little while ago and its almost 11pm, i want to spend 5 minutes for Danny (by the way whomever came up with that saying I love it) before my day is over.
Twitter: .
Seems like the battle is back on over at MJs about who know what about Country history. In all of the interviews we have of Danny over the past 6 months I can’t recall one person asking him about the origins of Merle Haggard
Sorry, but I wasn’t as nice as you Steph.
Lizzy about CO America, you did notice how low Carrie’s song is. It really doesn’t seem to matter in relation to airplay since the PD don’t take it.
Thanks Toni!
They can give you my email as well so we can communicate before July…I don’t use twitter or facebook. I am getting so excited…only a couple more weeks!! Do you still get excited even though you have seen Danny so many tmes before?
Danip…if you are who I think you are at MJs I love what you said!
Twitter: steph6449
Apparently Danny was interviewed on the BamaJam special, someone was tweeting about it and saying they refer now to a “winter tour” vs. fall tour? Not sure if that was the actual language, but that’s what she was tweeting.
I’m confused how they can see it now, I thought the special didn’t start running until tomorrow.

Toni, asics, I sent you both an email

also if Marlyn is here lurking or posting, I answered your message this morning.
Hi everyone! I hope everyone is doing well.
The site looks great! Love seeing superstah Danny in the banner pictures. Good work ladies
I’m going on day 3 of a painting project. I’ll probably have Hemlock Green paint in my fingernails for a week! I feel like I’ve missed a bunch the last few days. Been taking breaks to catch up when I can and vote, vote, vote and vote some more. And watch the occasional video
.
Asics, thanks for posting your observations the other day about the lighting in the IWNSG vid. I had been trying to put my thoughts together about that as well and you summed it up quite nicely so I didn’t have to think so hard. You know, paint fumes and all.
Really curious there were no early adds this week. Wish I understood the music industry better. It seems to be a bit of a mystery, to me at least, what makes for the best marketing. I will have to trust Danny’s team. I’m sure they’ve been doing it long enough to know what is best.
Thanks Steph!
Toni,
I will email you tomorrow, OK?

Asics17 yes it the same exciting feelings each time. I think it is the same for all other fans that have seen him more than once and he makes everyone feel so comfortable and always very appreciative for our support. Another example of having that nervous feeling each time is when I take pictures when really close to him I can never hold the camera steady and they always come up blurry. Its really a shame since I should have some really good pictures but it never seems to happen. The ones I share here are probably some of the better ones I am able to take or Mike the drummer has taken for me.
Karri – I wanted to let you know you are very talented your videos are awesome to watch. I wish I knew how to do some of that creative work you do. I love to take videos and pictures but that is as much as I can do. Great job!
Well I expect this whole week to be working really late as not to leave work piled up for later on when I am gone. I have not been successful getting thru to my station but I will keep trying.
Goodnight everyone! I wish I could spend more time during the day in Dannyland. Toni

Evening everyone~~ Not sure if this has been posted or not. I know it’s late, but it’s important to support SHF. If you have a facebook account, go to this link, and vote for SHF!

You’ll have to “like” it before your vote is counted. The top 200 charities will share $5 million. SHF only have 52 votes now, and I think it needs at least 60 votes to get in the top 200 right now.
Hi I hearties – love the new banner. Danny looks striking hot in his new banner headline.
Stephanie = went to your posted site and did not see anywhere to put my credit card number. Can you recheck the site and let me know? Thanks.

For anyone reading this, remember when the MBD video and single came out for sale, Danny eventually asked that we go in and rate them on his behalf as there were some haters trying to push down his ratings
So if we can get a quick jump on it to push up the ratings nice and high in good quantity, maybe the haters won’t even bother as they will have little impact on the average. Hopefully though they have moved on to some other adolescent pursuit by now.
Good night!

steph – Im pretty confident that those immature haters are well behaved now, now that this video is so amazing that maybe their view of Danny is changed and somehow realized the power of the song and its message. This video is so phenomenal and its promising to get recognition to award giving bodies thats for sure!!!

Hey, that’s awesome that Danny’s video is on iTunes! I want to buy it! Who has Paypal and wants to help me do it?
Jan, yeah, a pic of the crowd is nice. Will have to wait the next change, though.
Kathy, when I said that is not official, I meant that the person that uploaded it didn’t have authorization from Danny or Sony to do so but it is the same video. We are waiting till IWNSG is posted to Danny’s channel so we can put the video here. Until then, we can’t (if we want to respect Danny’s people wishes, anyway).
Sorry it took me a while to come back. I have a friend visiting at the moment, just sneaked in here for a minute to see what’s going on.

hey Erika, nice mainpage! kudos to you and Amy and Steph and others who helped making this a very beautiful site…
So that is why they removed all IWNSG videos existing on YT, because the release is today!!!
Twitter: jancute
YAY! i have 21 itunes videos of Danny YAY! and still more to come YAY!
Twitter: JosieInSeattle
Erika I just gifted it to your gmail account, hope that works ok!
Also wrote a review. We’re getting good at this now, we’re old hands at it now aren’t we!

The other thing we need to do, once they start showing the reviews, is go back and click “Most Helpful” for the positive reviews. The reason is that the default ranking for reviews is by “Most Helpful”, so the ones that get a lot of clicks will move up toward the top.

Thanks Josie! It worked like a clock! Downloading! =D
I’ll write a review as soon as I can.
We are watching a gorgeous movie with my friend called ‘Hachiko’ with Richard Gere. I recommend it to everyone. But have a box of tissues because it’s an absolute tearjerker. It’s a true Japanese story. I remember my aunt telling me this story some years ago.
