Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen and welcome to "Simply Swing with Martin John".
Martin is a young performer from Derry City, Northern Ireland, who certainly can Swing. With a family history steeped in musical performance and tuition, that spans across the globe with ties to Bing Crosby and Elvis, music is well and truley part of his being.
More than a tribute to the gold standards of music's most enduring songs, this young man has a flair for infusing this familiar and beloved music with a fresh, origional, and unique style entirely his own.
Performing music from the Rat Pack Era, with Sinatra and the fella's to Bobby Darin and Nat King Cole, Martin hasn't just learned this music he's lived it.
He brings youthful energy to it, tough, sensitive and subtle all at the same time; its like nothing you've ever heard. His chemistry on stage is infectious and a big factor in why his style is endearing to audiences throughout Ireland, Britain and the States.
Join Martin John & his Award Winning 12 piece Big Band for an unforgetable evening, showcasing some of the greatest talent and musicians this part of the world has to offer.

As you may know, I am in a contest sponsored by Patricia and her son Dustin. By advertising this contest through myspace we are all helping to bring awareness about Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. I had never heard of it until I met Patricia & Dustin. After learning about it, I know you'll understand why we need to get the word out.
As far as the contest goes, I am honored to say that I made it into the top 6, and I heard there were originally 2000 artists. The contest ends this Thursday, July 31st, at midnight. I could use your help in maintaining my 4th place position, or even better....moving up into a higher placement!
There are only 2 easy steps to voting:
1. Go to my page and click on the top left poster of Patricia and me. That will bring you to Patricia's myspace.
2. Click on Patricia's SEND MESSAGE and tell her you are voting for JULIAN SAGE.
That's it!
Patricia & Dustin need all of us to help spread the word! As a THANK YOU from Patricia & Dustin, as their myspace friend, every time you post a bulletin about their contest, you will be entered into a drawing and 7 people will win $1000 each while helping a good cause!

Ich hab ja die Schnauze von dem miesen Wetter ehrlich gesagt gestrichen voll!
Deshalb hab ich mich aus purer Verzweiflung entschlossen ab sofort SO lange einen neuen Song auf meine Page zu stellen bis die Sonne wieder durchgehend da ist und tut was sie soll: Uns wärmen =;o)
Hör also für hoffentlich nur wenige Tage SPRINGTIME wenn Du auf meine Site kommst!
Außerdem sagt man doch: Kinder und Tiere gehen immer. Deshalb:
