D5L Newsletter - February 2006

Friend,

After writing this newsletter each month for over 4 years it's interesting to think I haven't run out of things to say.

....long silent pause ..... ..... ..... hmmm ......

I've been calling more places recently to book gigs than I have in over a year. Within the last year I think that booking gigs has become more difficult around here. Perhaps it is the economy. It just isn't the same. Therefore, I am especially fortunate, and greatful to have the regular gigs that I have at Champps, Tappers Pub, and Potbelly's Sandwich Works in the Renaissance Center.

This past week I met a really cool guy at an open mic night in Birmingham at Dick O Dows Irish Pub. His name is Peter and he is from Scotland. Me and my girlfriend, and our friend Mark Reitenga (http://www.markreitenga.com) showed Peter around Detroit last week. We went to the Hard Rock Cafe, and also took a ride on the People Mover, stopped off at Greektown, and then went to a small Detroit bar with a Blues / Rock Band. It was a fun evening, and I realized that I should go to Detroit more often to hang out. Peter went back to Scotland this week, but it's great to have a friend in Scotland.

My little sister Debbie has been quite busy with her modeling career. I think she can really call it a career at this point. She's been traveling all over the US practically every week. She's in a really cool commercial for GM. It's got this Hip Hop song in the background, and she is one of the models. She was also recently on a billboard in Times Square in NYC. I'm also excited for her since she is going to Greece in a few months to do modeling. A company is even paying for her to have a place to stay there! I know I don't mention her in my newsletter too often, well not since she was in Cosmopolitan Magazine as a Contest finalist! That was a few years back. She's been working hard, and keeping her head on straight. I'm sure it can be a difficult business to be in.

I guess this past month has really been a month of much thinking, praying, and planning. I am looking forward to this next month as I'll be making some improvements to my web site, and playing some new gigs, and open mics. I've also been considering to use my first and middle name on the new CD, and go by that from now on. Those of you who have known me for more than 4 years already know that I used to go by Terence Damian. However, I think I will spell it the way it reads on my birth certificate "Terrance Damian".

Two more compilations with my indie record label 3000 Records have been released with about 40 Bands and Artists worldwide! Last week me and my girlfriend, and my brother Joe packed up about 2000 CDs which were shipped worldwide (US, Canada, Australia, Germany, United Kingdom....) to the participating Bands and Artists.

This is done through a music promotion service that I started about 10 years ago. If you know any Musicians tell them to check out http://www.indie360.com or to call 1-888-Indie-360

Calendar: This month I'll be going to Virginia to network and get some minor exposure at some open mics. I'm looking forward to the warmer weather. Then again it hasn't been all that cold here in Michigan. I play at Champps Resturaunt and Sports Bar in Shelby Twp. every Friday from 5 - 8 PM. My other gigs are posted online at http://www.calendar.deronfeivel.com

If you know anyone looking to book a Musician for a private party let them know I'm available! They can call me directly at 1-888-337-6655.

With much love,

Terrance
