It’s here! I’m releasing “Calling All The Saints” as a video and a FREE MP3 to raise awareness of the continued need for assistance in Haiti. The situation is still very bad for the survivors in Haiti. Rebuilding will take a long time and a lot of helping hands. We can support those survivors and helpers in Haiti by making donations to the Red Cross. If we all give, even small donations can go a long way.
Please give what you can to help those who were devastated by the earthquake on January 12th. This disaster, or something like it, could have happened where you live. It’s only by acting as one global community that we can overcome catastrophes of this magnitude when they occur.
Please visit http://www.CallingAllTheSaints.org to get your FREE copy & find out how you can help. And I’d really appreciate your support in sharing this video with your friends and contacts.
With Thanks

Just wanted to give you a quick heads up…
I have just finished recording a new song titled “Calling All The Saints” which will be officially released this Saturday as part of a special initiative to help raise money for the people of Haiti.
The song will be accompanied by a sobering video of images taken by the Red Cross which will really bring home the reality of what’s happened over there. The video will also provide details of where people can go to contribute to support the people of Haiti.
The song “Calling All The Saints” will be available for FREE via a new website which will be launched in conjunction with the song! But there’s a catch… in order to get the song for FREE you must pledge to donate at least one dollar to the Red Cross toward their relief efforts in Haiti. I think we can all afford at least a buck right! The new website will make the process quick and easy.
I look forward to getting your help to share the video & lend a helping hand to the people of Haiti.
Stay tuned…

The inspiration for the song “Dream Another Day” originated a few years ago when I was invited to perform on a national childrens’ TV show here in Australia called “The Music Shop.” The appearance inspired me to write something about how as children we would so freely & naturally tap into our beautiful imagination & wonder.. a precious activity that I believe should never be abandoned. The original title of the song was “Wishing Wells & Carousels” & it was only ever performed on the TV show.
A little while ago I decided to revisit that song & ended up re-writing it & recording an acoustic version of it which is currently only available as a free download to my subscribers. You are more than welcome to get your free copy by subscribing at DinoJag.com. Here’s a copy of the Lyrics…
Dream Another Day
Once upon a time there was a wishing well Where people would gather round and throw away their coins Just so they could see if there was magic there And they would fantasize, a lot like you and me Once upon a time there was a rocking horse So big you’d have to climb onto the universe Just so you could play and you could ride all day And you could tell your friends and you could wave at them Let us dream another day Now, now, now Let us dream another day Once upon a time there was a mocking bird His wings could span the sky just like an aeroplane He knew a million songs and he would fly all day And you could hear him sing, almost everywhere Let us dream another day Now, now, now Let us dream another day Now I know what you’re thinking I’ve lost my mind But I’m having a good time In this world of mine Once upon a time there was a leprechaun His nose would kiss the ground and he would stare right at you Right between the eyes and he would make you laugh And you would realize, you could do anything Let us dream another day Now, now, now Let us dream another day Now, now, now Let us dream now Let us dream now Let us dream now Let us dream now Let us dream now, let us dream, just let us dream

A friend of mine forwarded this email to me this morning & I got a great laugh out of it. I just had to share it with you. It reminded me of the power of simplicity and how we should never underestimate the source of a piece of wisdom! Here’s the scoop…
A 1st grade school teacher had twenty-six students in her class. She presented each child in her classroom the 1st half of a well-known proverb and asked them to come up with the remainder of the proverb. It’s hard to believe these were actually done by first graders.. Their insight may surprise you. While reading, keep in mind that these are first-graders, 6-year-olds, because the last one is a classic!
| 1. | Don’t change horses | until they stop running. |
| 2. | Strike while the | bug is close. |
| 3. | It’s always darkest before | Daylight Saving Time. |
| 4. | Never underestimate the power of | termites. |
| 5. | You can lead a horse to water but | How? |
| 6. | Don’t bite the hand that | looks dirty. |
| 7. | No news is | impossible |
| 8. | A miss is as good as a | Mr. |
| 9. | You can’t teach an old dog new | Math |
| 10. | If you lie down with dogs, you’ll | stink in the morning. |
| 11. | Love all, trust | Me. |
| 12. | The pen is mightier than the | pigs. |
| 13. | An idle mind is | the best way to relax. |
| 14. | Where there’s smoke there’s | pollution. |
| 15. | Happy the bride who | gets all the presents. |
| 16. | A penny saved is | not much. |
| 17. | Two’s company, three’s | the Musketeers. |
| 18. | Don’t put off till tomorrow what | you put on to go to bed. |
| 19. | Laugh and the whole world laughs with you, cry and | You have to blow your nose. |
| 20. | There are none so blind as | Stevie Wonder. |
| 21. | Children should be seen and not | spanked or grounded. |
| 22. | If at first you don’t succeed | get new batteries. |
| 23. | You get out of something only what you | See in the picture on the box |
| 24. | When the blind lead the blind | get out of the way. |
| 25. | A bird in the hand | is going to poop on you. |
| 26. | Better late than | Pregnant |
Cheers!

That’s what I am doing to some of my songs that have never been released to the public. Like most songwriters, I have written and recorded songs that have never been heard by the general public. Many of these songs are in demo form–which means they are a rough version of what the song may sound like in its final version.
But as most recording artists will tell you, sometimes a little bit of magic happens when you are recording a demo. The performers connect, and the real spirit and personality of the song comes out. So even though the demo may not be the cleanest recording of a song, it may have that magic that is so hard to capture in subsequent recordings.
I have shared some of these demos on my website and social sites, and I have received requests from fans who want to buy these songs. So in the spirit of “If you love them, set them free,” I have decided to get some of my songs out of the darkness of the demo vault and share them with the rest of the world.
The first in the series will be an EP titled From The Demo Vault (previously unreleased). It is scheduled for an international release date of November 1, 2009. The EP will feature four songs which were recorded in 2002 — “Twenty Four Seven,” “You’re The One,” “No Sense” and “Different.” Look for the EP on your favorite music sites.
Now I feel liberated!
Dino :)
