The
Tumbleweed Twilight Zone was a monthly print newsletter
we mailed out in the mid-to-late 90s to keep friends,
family, and supporters up to date on what was going on with
my music, travels, and escapades. Even as The
Internet was coming into its own, many folks would get
the TTZ and hang it up on their refrigerator door to
remind them that I was playing Naomi's Lounge in Deep
Ellum Friday night.
Not long before the turn of the millennium, email became
a much more timely (and cost-effective) way to reach
folks... so the old TTZ newsletter died of attrition,
and we started sending email bulletins to a growing list
of people throughout the U.S. - and Texas, too.
Over the years the list has grown exponentially, and we
have struggled to keep track of bounced email addresses,
changed email addresses, people who've asked to be taken
the $#@% off the list, and the breakneck pace of
technology, along with its incomprehensible tangle of
privacy, security, and anti-spam laws and regulations...
whew!
So, in the interest of (a) making the broadcast of an
ongoing newsletter more manageable and less
time-consuming, (b) offering a new and truly improved
version of the old hum-drum plain-text newsletter,
and (c) ensuring we are in compliance with current
anti-spam laws... we are proud to announce the (re)launch
of The Tumbleweed Twilight Zone (email version), an eNewsletter delivered to your inbox
every... week, bi-week, month... well, every time we
have something worthwhile to report.
The TTZ will feature news, performance schedule info,
release info, etc... all in a graphical hypertext format
(for those with HTML email enabled). And most
importantly, subscribers to The Tumbleweed Twilight Zone
will be given special treatment. You will have
access to exclusive music downloads (for instance,
outtake recordings from BB's upcoming American
Junkyard
CD), merchandise discounts, etc., all for the price of a
few clicks and keystrokes to...
