PAUL HAIG DAY II - THE WEEKLY UPDATE

And so its now just a week until Paul Haig Day II.

To regular readers who know what this is all about, I apologise for repeating myself again. To new readers who are stumbling upon the concept for the first time....please read on and then get involved.

On 6th April 2009, a fair few bloggers from all around the world agreed to be part of Paul Haig Day. This was n response to a plea that I had put out over the internet as a thank you to Paul and his manager for offering tremendous great support to TVV and other bloggers in the face of determined efforts by folk posting dmca notices forcing not just mp3s but entire postings to be taken down.

Paul Haig Day was organised with just over a week's notice, and just over 30 bloggers responded with some words and a Paul Haig related track of their own. I really would like to better that number this year, but right now with seven days to go its looking to be about the same number as last time out. Unless you can help out with a last minute rush.

Despite the lack of folk signing-up over the past seven days, there's been a few things that have lifted my spirits.

Firstly, Paul's manager got in touch to wish everyone well with the venture.

He's also made a suggestion that anyone are taking part who perhaps knows a bit more about Paul's stuff should think about posting some of their favourite but perhaps less well known tracks, and that way as wide a selection of songs as possible will get used on 6th April.

Secondly, and as if by magic, the following day I found a second-hand copy of a compilation LP in a shop that does feature a rarity, and its been added to my own list for next Tuesday.

Thirdly, Webbie over at Football and Music, who was one of the first to come on board but said he would only post if he could find a Paul Haig football connection has come up trumps. But you'll need to wait till next week.

Finally......an email from ctel has revealed that, for one day only, he is, as a special one-off, resurrecting the blog Acid Ted just so that he can be part of Paul Haig Day II. And that, as the song goes, is what friends are for.

I'm also going to resort to some junk mail tactics around other bloggers who are linked to this place in the hope they'll get on board at the last minute. It would be great if some of you were able to pester some of your own comrades....

If it is a case of not having any songs to play, then have a listen to some of what's been made available here over the past few Tuesdays. And if you're not sure what to write, then why not just mention Paul Haig Day II and do a link to his own official website. Or even better, take soeme copy from this definitive bio.

So, if you do feel like signing up, just either send me an email, or leave a comment behind.
