I've been waiting all day for the video to be posted to the web. One of our fellow TBers posted it for me in another thread, which let me know it was up and running. Thanks very much, Howlin' Hanson!
I'm just glad I didn't get any Jabba The Hut Chin! LOL!
I felt like we did well. The anchor who interviewed us is an avid biker, so we switched our song order to feature a song about ridin', which pleased him a *lot*! They don't show the commercial bumps in the video, but they do show the entire feature song.
We got up at 3 a.m. to go do this, but it is worthwhile. People for 150 miles around see this program. I feel like we'll get plenty of good work from this.
I know lots of people don't dig Fox, and I'm not a big fan of some of their national broadcasts. But our local Fox affiliate does a lot to support local music, and their weekday morning live music spots do so much for so many bands here. Everyone at the station, from the anchors to the producer to the crew, were just wonderful to us, and made it a great experience. Its a wonderful opportunity, and I'm so thankful we were able to have it!

National tv...lol! Hey, you never know! Ol' Simon C. may decides he digs us! LOL! 
Joe told us about an English band they had on during SXSW. If you ever make it across the pond during the festival, you just never know...they could feature you, too! If the woman who books the bands digs you, you're in.

It was a lot of fun. And then I came home and slept for four hours. LOL!

And the band doesn't spend a dime for this publicity! Awesome. Truly awesome.

...building from the bottom up | Thanks hon! We're hoping to hear from a certain large venue southeast of the city, which markets strongly to bikers, pays well, and whose venue name references a woman, and wild pork-on-the-hoof.  We've been trying to get them to pay attention for months now.

And what a nice segment on tv - good anchor by the way, he seems int. in the band and remembers Cherie.
A lucky break indeed. |

A lucky break indeed. | Yep...its like having a whole bunch of brothers and sisters.
Joe is awesome. He really was into us...and he's going to go out riding with our singer and drummer. Way-cool! Everyone there was just as nice and enthusiastic as he was. We are *so* lucky!

I agree - it's like a little window on another world!

I love doing that song in a good biker bar, especially when we've got the sax and the harp. We draw the song out, with leads for everyone, rockin' it, and the bikers go nuts!
We were going to do a funk tune, which would have been good, too, but since Joe's a biker, we knew it would tickle him to hear "I Love My Harley". Sweet!
