Hi everyone! This has been a great week music-wise! My song "Wanted" that's posted on N1M is #1 in my state (Massachusetts), #1 in the U.S., and NUMBER ONE GLOBALLY in the charts for the Progressive Rock genre!!! Thanks to ALL of you!! I even got a special #1 "Genre Chart Topper" badge added to my page! Plus I've been making progress on a lot of new music! All of your support and so many extremely wonderful emails from you guys have really encouraged me to get the project I'm working on finished! I should be ready to release it within two weeks! It's got lots of different styles of music on it, including my own cover version of Led Zeppelin's Ten Years Gone! I'll send an update when it's ready! As you've probably noticed, I put up a couple of new songs within the past week. Unfortunately, with a free membership on this website I can only post three songs at a time and I didn't want the songs that were already there to get "stale". So that means I have to take songs down to put up new ones. I can't get the premium membership right now because I got laid off from my job (after being there 18 years!) so I can't upgrade my membership until I find another "day job"! BUT since you all have been so supportive and encouraging (I really do love getting all of your emails, and I respond to every one), if I've taken down a song that you really liked, and it's not on Benthic which I have made available to you all for free, just send me an email and I'll send you the MP3 for free, just because you guys are so awesome! I guess since I've been getting emails from so many of you, you are able to respond to this newsletter and I get your messages in my personal email and hopefully you've been getting my responses. But, if you'd rather email me directly I'd be very happy to hear from you and send you any song that I've taken down. Just send it to: rj.tangmonk@gmail.com Also, for more up to the minute updates, I'd love it if you would go to my Facebook page and "Like" it! There you'll get more information about things like the equipment I use, unreleased songs, and other updates! Just go here and click "Like" please! https://www.facebook.com/pages/Tangmonk/174457445905914 Again, thank you all so very much and I'll let you know when the new CD is ready! Sincerely, Tangmonk
