This is getting out of hand.
I just got off the phone with a journalist for the Associated Press. We talked about Sammy Stephens and his Flea Market Montgomery rap, his video on youtube and my version of his ditty. She wrote down the name of my blog. “S-H-L-O-G DOT COM”
This story will be released around the world.
So, let me get this straight. I slave over three albums of original material, get played on countless radio stations around the world, get nominated for a few awards, tour the country with big deal artists, play ten or so shows a month year round for seven years and THIS is what will generate the most traffic to my site than anything in the history of my career? This is what I’ll be known for by so many? I’m the guy who covered “Flea Market Montgomery?”
When’s the Flea Market tour start?
Nancy Tyler says:
What a kick! Congratulations on your ‘overnight’ success. Keep this up and you’ll soon be qualified to be one of the talking heads on those VH1 “I Love the 70s/80s/90s” shows.

Copyright it quick! Here’s the financing for your next cd and you don’t have to go country afterall!

AP’s headline: “Irony: Brilliant Artist Groves Career Put in High Gear by Lame Christian Radio D.J. in Florida”
Mwa-ha-ha. By the way, Sammy’s going to be on VH1 on Friday, July 6th.
He sent me his new 2-song CD. He’s got the remixed version of his tune, plus some incredible artwork of himself standing in front of the Market. He does the Flea Market thing, then, “I’m gonna call out some cities!” Then it’s Heart-of-Rock-n-Roll style: “Detroit! Houston! Florida! London! France! It’s just like a mini-mall,” etc.
I totally love the guy.
