I recently got a call from a friend in California (I live in the DC area) telling me he heard my song, Blacktop, on NPR's Car Talk. Blacktop is the opening track from my CD, The Distance Wall. The CD has just been added to the rotation at WUIS 91.9 FM in Springfield, IL; KGPR-FM in Great Falls, MT; and on Internet radio WIMS - Women's Independent Music Station. To find out more about The Distance Wall, you can visit http://www.careycolvin.com.

Carey,
Congrats! Isn't Car Talk their most popular series on NPR?

Congratulations - that's pretty cool!
I've always wondered what happens on your side of that process. Didn't anyone from NPR call you to tell you or ask permission to use the song? Did you (or your agent, manager, promoter) send one of your cds to NPR at one time or another . . . or did they find you? Does your PRO take care of the follow-up? Did they mention your name, or did your friend just know it was YOUR song?
Inquiring minds want to know . . .

"Parents are notorious for telling you not to do something, but not telling you WHAT to do instead. So here are my thoughts. Don't bite the hand that feeds you, give it a manicure. Don't burn your bridges, go out and build more! And of course, Don't run with Scissors, use them to cut out your press clippings!" -Brian Austin Whitney
