Hello Network, Subscribers and the 235k+ folks who have listened to my acoustic arrangement or 'Folk Rock' version of 'I Come From the Future'. My mentors, The Weber Brothers now have a recording of their full band rendition of their amazing timely song. Kindly give it a listen and share this link around the world: (expired link)

About the subject matter above - it is very difficult to improve or even maintain any N1M chart position, whether it be on the Folk Rock, Folk or Singer-Songwriter classification, as the Blink & Earn Recommend feature has been broken for weeks, and lately 'Unavailable', so it is next to impossible to garner any $BC to fund any sort of promo strategy. How 'I Come From the Future' got back to #4, with the Aria Winterland folks somehow placing 7 songs in the top 10 (Congratulations) must be surely related to your folks loyalty and interest. kindly carry on, and if you can, share here and on any other platforms you use, to help get The Weber Brothers' song I was allowed to cover, & its amazing timely message, as far & wide as possible.

Once again going into N1M's 'ratings night' with no visible or workable promo strategy. Was up in the middle of the night trying to top up my $BC balance, only to be told by the system I have to wait until midnight, again, to do so, despite that attempt being my FIRST of the day (we're usually allowed 5, in 24 hrs.) This was after the Twitter links came back recently - thought that meant it was fixed; lasted less than 5 minutes. Now the Recommend 'feature' says it is 'Unavailable' again. So, if this is going out to my 500 Subscribers, and 100 currently in my Network, kindly Share (on all platforms), Listen & Like; what the hey, if there's a way to put something on Repeat, maybe try that, just before going to bed.
By way of thanks, along with the usual streaming services and digital D/L platforms, any songs you're missing from 'More Love to Begin' can be found on YouTube at: Douglas MacKenzie - Topic.

There's a high level of frustration among N1M account holders lately, as the the driving engine, 'Blink & Earn' which generates the $BC for various types of Artist & Song promos is badly broken. Having just initiated a Global Artist Spotlight in Folk Rock, I am now down to a paltry $6.78 Blincoins; found a nice Recommend offer from a fellow artist, only to be told I have to wait until midnight, instead of the usual 5 allowed daily. So my promotion strategy is effectively derailed. I can only appeal to you, my Network of prior listeners or Subscribers to listen again. Please Share, and Recommend around the world during your own 1 AM to 5 AM windows that still seem to work on N1M, & anytime on your other social media. So, if you believe in the messages contained in 'I Come From the Future' and 'More Love to Begin', or enjoy the story & music of 'Michipicoten', please give 'em a play or two again, & share with your peeps. By way of thanks, you can find the rest of the album, 24/7, on YouTube at Douglas MacKenzie - Topic. While I'm at it, most of the popular streaming and download sites have MLtB as well; get your own copy.

The Recommend app is working much better, so have built up some credits again for the upcoming promos. please listen, like, and share. Note on earlier posts where the rest of the album is available. Local folks, please note gigs on Thursday & Saturday. Now - although the DAILY voting window as per below is 60% done, we could finish with a flourish. Being as it's 'Valentine's Week', how 'bout givin' 'er for a love song. A love song, in point, written for my wife of now 45 years, back when we were barely 40% along in the journey, & the final chorus added in Millbrook 20 years later, & recorded 5 years after that, with the same feeling and tenderness as when the first words made their way from pen to paper. And you can SHARE this with anyone, anywhere, who is in love, or wants to be. Int'l IP's work just fine, too. Let's give the judges something to think aboot. Hit the link, hit Artist Entries, search for me, Listen, Share, and then there's that big, pink, Vote button.
I'll celebrate at my gigs Thu. (Simcoe Blues&Jazz Bar @7) & Sat. Kops Records (@ 4:30). Thx, D.
