Man, lots of interesting read from the Wall Street Journal about the relationship of the Cleveland Clinic and their investigators failure to disclose conflicts of interest with their patients.... Big centers like this can leverage their name for professional and even personal gain it seems. There are lots of smart docs out there looking for ways to develop equity in the field of their expertise, but they HAVE to disclose this relationship. The technology with Atricure is cool, tho' (uses a scissor-like clamp to burn tissue between the two blades using a bipolar application of radiofrequency energy during either open chest or "minimally" invasive "keyhole" cardiothoracic surgery to place insulating lines in the atrium to fix atrial fibrillation). I understand the surgeon's enthusiasm for the technology - but it still doesn't get these docs off the hook for non-disclosure. These are big boys in the big leagues. They took lots of tests and checked LOTS of boxes on standardized tests correctly to get where they are.... the "oops, I checked the wrong box" excuse just doesn't fly.
I actually worked with Mike Hooven (now"Chief Technical Officer" (but the real brains)) of Atricure which was a spin off from his first venture in bipolar scissors for minimally-invasive vein harvesting for coronary bypass grafting, Enable Medical) when I was in Cincinnati Ohio about 5 years ago. Atricure is now public and Mike has made a few zillion bucks, I'm sure. My hat's off to him. Mike's one smart "engi-nerd".... but I left Cincinnati for personal reasons (the medical climate there is tough, to say the least: too many hospitals, not enough patients/businesses) and was surprised to see all this! But the story really isn't about Mike, it's about the relationship of major centers taking stake in a company and "researching" and "teaching" without disclosing to the patient's or community to whom they teach (like fellow docs). Hmmm, seems the course at The University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center Cardiac Arrhythmia Research Institute on "Minimally Invasive Surgical Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation" recently scheduled for 1 Feb 2006 was recently "rescheduled" after the Wall Street Journal piece appeared... Atricure, I'm sure, was to play prominently in the meeting.
Here's the problems in a nutshell:
The Cleveland Clinic has been an advocate of heart surgery with a device from AtriCure Inc. and has done the operation on 1,247 patients while having undisclosed ties to the manufacturer.
Among them:
A venture fund the Cleveland Clinic helped set up and put money into invested in AtriCure.
The Clinic's CEO (Cosgrove) helped manage that fund and invested in it himself.
The Clinic's CEO (Cosgrove) sat on AtriCure's board.
Cosgrove developed a device AtriCure plans to market, which would bring him royalties.
Another Clinic doctor, who used the device and reviewed it favorably in publications, was a paid consultant to AtriCure.
It might be best to let the dust settle a bit before having that conference....
PS: I recently updated my bit on atrial fibrillation with a few more figures. Hopefully it will help out folks trying to sort all the incredible information out there. If it's too technical, let me know. I can clarify if need be. The point is to take yet another approach to the discussion and evaluation of afib that keeps the patient first.... Hmmm, an interesting approach these days....
PPS: Oh, for purposes of disclosure, I am on the Speaker's Bureau for Medtronic, Inc. :)

Edited by John Joseph Adams (Wastelands, The Living Dead), By Blood We Live gathers together the best vampire literature of the last three decades from many of today's most renowned authors of fantasy, speculative fiction, and horror, including Stephen King, Joe Hill, Garth Nix, Neil Gaiman, Kelley Armstrong, Ken Macleod, Harry Turtledove, Carrie Vaughn, and Tad Williams.

Psychological profile: Extremely independent, potentially dangerous. Caution is urged.... As far as Gabriel Bleak is concerned, talking to the dead is just another way of making a living.

When he sees what appears to be a beautiful young woman, injured and cowering in the woods, he races to her aid. Uldolf and his adoptive family will do anything to protect the terrified girl, but the danger is greater than they can possibly imagine.

Pete Garey has survived the Change and its ensuing chaos. He wanders the southeastern United States, scavenging, lying low. Learning. One day he makes an unexpected friend: a smartassed unicorn with serious attitude. Pete names her Ariel and teaches her how to talk, how to read, and how to survive in a world in which a unicorn horn has become a highly prized commodity.

And so begins a haunting, epic, and surprisingly funny journey through the remnants of a halted civilization in a desolated world.
Brooks, Terry
A Princess of Landover
Magic Kingdom of Landover #6
After fourteen years, New York Times bestselling fantasy master Terry Brooks has returned to the magic kingdom of Landover. The remarkable realm of dragons, demons, wizards, and wonders that wove an irresistible spell in five classic novels throws open its gates at long last for a brand-new adventure featuring a dazzling cast of characters and creatures. Ben Holiday, Chicago lawyer and mere mortal turned monarch of enchanted Landover, has grappled with scheming barons, fire-breathing beasts, diabolical conjurers, and extremely wicked witches. None of whom have prepared him for the most daunting of challengers–a teenage daughter. Sent by Ben and his beloved sylph bride, Willow, to an exclusive girls' prep school, headstrong (and half-magical) Mistaya Holiday has found life in the natural world a less than perfect fit. And when her latest rebellious antics get her indefinitely suspended, she's determined to resume her real education–learning sorcery from court wizard Questor Thews–whether her parents like it or not. But back home in Landover, Mistaya's frustrated father is just as determined that the precocious princess learn some responsibility, and he declares her grounded until she successfully refurbishes the long-forsaken royal library. Mortified by the prospect of salvaging a king's ransom in moldy books–and horrified by word that repulsive local nobleman Lord Laphroig seeks to marry her–Mistaya decides that the only way to run her own life is to run away from home. So begins an eventful odyssey peppered with a formidable dragon, recalcitrant gnomes, an inscrutable magic cat, a handsome librarian, asinister sorcerer, and more than a few narrow escapes as fate draws Landover's intrepid princess to the last place she expected to go, and into the thick of a mystery that will put her mettle to the test–and might bring the kingdom to its knees.

Elliott, Kate
Traitors' Gate
Crossroads #3
In Spirit Gate and Shadow Gate, Kate Elliott took readers to the fascinating world of the Hundred, a land teeming with an array of cultures, gods, and conflicts blighted by the shadow of chaos and destruction. Now, with the same intensity and dramatic sweep that has brought this epic to life, Elliott returns to the exquisitely crafted cities and landscapes of the Hundred, in a thunderous conclusion to the saga. In the darkness of war and destruction, forces gather to reclaim the peace: Those immortal Guardians who still serve justice seek a means to end the devastating reign of one of their own; a hired outlander army struggles to halt the advance of the horde that has despoiled vast lands and slaughtered countless people in its murderous wake, while still guarding against a burgeoning threat from an aggressively expansionist empire; and the eagle reeves who have long been the only law enforcers of the Hundred struggle to reorganize after a devastating massacre has decimated their numbers. But even as these forces give hope to those who would live in peace, a terrible danger looms: a traitor with Imperial ambitions, the most dreaded, least anticipated threat of all… In the unfolding drama of political upheaval and violent change, nothing is certain, as alliances dissolve and power shifts with the unpredictability of a desert sandstorm. A riotous epic with the vast breadth and excitement only masterful storyteller Kate Elliott can summon, Traitors' Gate will leave her many readers begging for more.
Grossman, Lev
The Magicians: A Novel
A thrilling and original comingof- age novel about a young man practicing magic in the real world. Quentin Coldwater is brilliant but miserable. A senior in high school, he's still secretly preoccupied with a series of fantasy novels he read as a child, set in a magical land called Fillory. Imagine his surprise when he finds himself unexpectedly admitted to a very secret, very exclusive college of magic in upstate New York, where he receives a thorough and rigorous education in the craft of modern sorcery. He also discovers all the other things people learn in college: friendship, love, sex, booze, and boredom. Something is missing, though. Magic doesn't bring Quentin the happiness and adventure he dreamed it would. After graduation he and his friends make a stunning discovery: Fillory is real. But the land of Quentin's fantasies turns out to be much darker and more dangerous than he could have imagined. His childhood dream becomes a nightmare with a shocking truth at its heart. At once psychologically piercing and magnificently absorbing, The Magicians boldly moves into uncharted literary territory, imagining magic as practiced by real people, with their capricious desires and volatile emotions. Lev Grossman creates an utterly original world in which good and evil aren't black and white, love and sex aren't simple or innocent, and power comes at a terrible price.

Lindskold, Jane
Nine Gates
As evocative and moving as Charles de Lint's Newford books, with the three-dimensional protagonists and enthralling action of Mercedes Lackey's fantasies, Nine Gates makes our world today as excitingly strange and unfamiliar as any fantasy realm . . .and transports readers to a wondrous magical world drawn from Chinese lore and legend. Brenda Morris has barely had time to become accustomed to the idea that she has some of the powers of the Rat, a member of the Chinese Zodiac; that her elderly, former child-star "aunt," Pearl, is the Dragon; and that the young African-American former soldier she trains beside is the Dog. Brenda has learned that our world is not the only world and that her not-quite-Chinese ancestors came from a magical place, the Lands of Smoke and Sacrifice, created thousands of years ago by the destruction of China's books and scholars during the time of the first Emperor. Now, generations later, the Lands are once again at war, and the magics of the Thirteen Orphans are desperately needed. A mission to capture those powers went disastrously wrong and now the Lands' Dragon, Tiger, Snake, and Monkey are trapped on Earth unless the Orphans can build the Nine Gates. To do that, they must first save the Four Guardians of the Land Between, who are under magical attack. Complicating things is the fact that Brenda has fallen hard for the handsome man who is the Tiger, much to the distress of the sensual young woman who is the Snake.

Heroes at Risk
Heroes #4
Shield Lee Mallorough and her Source Shintaro Karish have returned to High Scape. It's bad enough the townspeople are robbing tombs for ashes to use in ritualistic magic. It gets worse when they start to murder the living for their remains.
Publishers Weekly - This compelling new adventure, Peterfreund's (Secret Society Girl) YA debut, introduces an international cast of strong young women, virginal descendants of Alexander the Great, who hunt an unusual breed of monster: unicorns. Sixteen-year-old narrator Astrid Llewelyn never believed her mother's stories about unicorns—portrayed as bloodthirsty, venomous and near impossible to kill—until one impales the boy she's seeing. Sent to Rome (unwillingly) to train with other huntresses in response to the "Reemergence" of the supposedly extinct creatures, Astrid makes new friends and enemies, hones her powers and finds time for a little romance, while coming to grips with her new life ("Forgive me if enforced lifelong celibacy and possible death by dismemberment and poisoning don't exactly get me excited," she gripes). But she soon suspects (as will readers) that the war against the unicorns isn't so cut-and-dried. With an atmospheric setting, personable ensemble cast and some reasoned discussions about virginity, this gripping page-turner evokes the same grrl-power spirit as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, packed with action, mystery and a complex and intriguing mythology.

Stalking the Dragon: A Fable of Tonight
John Justin Mallory Mystery #3
08/ 25/09
From Publishers Weekly - The freshness and imagination on display in 1987's Stalking the Unicorn and 2008's Stalking the Vampire are renewed for this noirish mystery that mixes offbeat humor and the supernatural. Hard-boiled PI John Justin Mallory, stuck in a parallel Manhattan occupied by demons and wizards, takes an especially offbeat assignment in homage to Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes story Silver Blaze. On the eve of the Eastminster Dragon Show, Fluffy, a toy dragon and the favorite for Best in Show, is kidnapped. Aided by his usual motley assortment of assistants, including catlike Felina and obsequious gremlin Jeeves, Mallory races the clock to get her back to the show before the award goes to another dragon. Resnick's light touch will leave readers grinning and eager for more.

Salvatore, R.A.
The Dame
The vast road network of Honce, completed a decade before, had brought great optimism to the people of the land. Commerce could travel more freely and so could armies, and those armies, it was hoped, would rid the land at long last of the vicious, bloody cap dwarfs and goblins. For the first time, the many individual kingdoms, the holdings of Honce, would be brought closer together, perhaps even united. For the last few years, those promises had become a nightmare to the folk, as two powerful lairds fought for supremacy of a hoped-for united kingdom. Bransen Garibond, the Highwayman, held little real interest in that fight. To him the warring lairds were two sides of the same coin. Whichever side won, the outcome for the people of Honce would be the same, Bransen believed. A journey north, however, taught Bransen that his views were simplistic at best, and that some things--like honor and true friendship-- might truly matter. In The Dame, Bransen's road becomes a quest for the truth, of Honce and of himself, a quest to put right over wrong. That path is fraught with confusion and fraud, and a purposeful blurring of morality by those who would seek to use the Highwayman's extraordinary battle skills and popularity among the commonfolk for their own nefarious ends.
Tobin, Betsy

The new world order of Christianity is threatening the old ways of IcelandÂ's people, and tangled amidst it all are two star-crossed lovers who destiny draws them together—even as their families are determined to tear them apart.

BUCHANAN, Tenn. - The men's golf team finished in a tie for ninth at the Skyhawk Classic at the Paris Landing State Park Golf Course. Tennessee State stayed true to form from the previous two rounds as they totaled a 7-over 295 during the final round on the Par-72, 6,685 yard course.
TSU and Alabama State have squared off in two previous tournaments this fall with the Hornets claiming the bragging rights on both occasions. The Tigers entered Tuesday trailing ASU by eight strokes, but were able to track them down to pull even with a three-round total of 881.
James Stepp led the day for the Big Blue with a 2-under 70 and climbed to a 10th place finish. Stepp (1-under 215) completed the tournament five strokes off individual champion Tyler Shellnut's (UT Martin) 6-under 210.
Cameron Scitern carded a 2-over 74 on Tuesday and finished tied for 26th with a 3-over 219. Andrew Warner shot a third round 76 to post an 8-over 224, while Shane Sampier (3-over 75) and Dallas Hill (5-over 77) ended the day at a 10-over 226.
Matt Campbell, playing as an individual, moved up five spots from the second round and finished tied for 55th after a 4-over 76 for a 54-hole total of 228.
"Everyone hit the ball great, but our putting held us back," head coach Chris Seibel said. "The greens made it difficult to make some putts, but we need to make adjustments to match other teams and give us opportunities to challenge our opponents."
Next on the docket for TSU is a trip to play in the Donald Ross Intercollegiate hosted by Appalachian State University. The tournament will begin on Oct. 14 in Morgantown, N.C.

Rod Blagojevich sorted through ways he could benefit personally from the U.S. Senate seat vacated when Barack Obama won the presidential election, according to testimony and wiretap recordings played Tuesday at the former Illinois governor's corruption trial.
Speaking on the day of Obama's election, Blagojevich can be heard on one recording saying he'll make a good-faith effort to fill the open seat but hastens to add that "it's not coming for free."
"It's gotta be good for the people of Illinois — and for me," he says.
In talking about his once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to appoint a senator, Blagojevich considered several ideas in a bid to get the best possible deal for himself, according to testimony by his former chief of staff John Harris — including feeding misinformation to the Obama camp and others.
Blagojevich tells Harris in one wiretap recording about trying to mislead Obama and his advisers as a way to gain leverage over them regarding their preferred candidate.
"There's a carrot and stick thing going on right now," Blagojevich says.
He also seems to delight in the option of appointing himself to the seat, calling that "my ace in the hole." Another time he sounds eager about the range of possibilities, laughing and saying to Harris, "I'm crazy, but I'm not nuts."
Sitting at the defense table Tuesday, Blagojevich appeared to display at least some signs of strain for one of the first times during the trial. He smiled less than on previous days, at one point rubbing his chin and cheek, then writing feverish notes.
Harris told jurors that Blagojevich suggested leaking false reports that he was thinking about appointing state officials, including Attorney General Lisa Madigan, to give Obama and his advisers the impression that he would be expending a lot of political capital in appointing their preferred candidate Valerie Jarrett — and so would expect more in return.
Among a list of appointments he thought he might be able to secure in the new administration in exchange for appointing Jarrett to the seat was U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, or ambassador to the U.N., Canada, Germany, England, France or India, according to the tape.
Harris implied that ambassador to India might be too important a position for a former Illinois governor.
"I'm the governor of a $58 billion corporation," Blagojevich said on the tape, referring to Illinois and cursing. "Why can't I be the ... ambassador to India?"
Blagojevich says to Harris in the recorded conversation that he understood he was so politically damaged in Illinois that he didn't want to ask Obama for any help that might suggest he wanted to remain governor.
"I have to get the ... out of here," he said, sprinkling his conversations with expletives. "The objective is to get a good gig over there (in Washington, D.C.)."
Blagojevich, 53, has pleaded not guilty to scheming to sell or trade the appointment to Obama's seat. He has also pleaded not guilty to plotting to launch a racketeering scheme using the powers of the governor's office. If convicted, he could face up to $6 million in fines and a sentence of 415 years in prison, although he is certain to get much less under federal guidelines.
His brother, Nashville, Tenn., businessman Robert Blagojevich, 54, has pleaded not guilty to taking part in the alleged scheme to sell the Senate seat and to plotting to illegally pressure a racetrack owner for a $100,000 campaign contribution.
Harris said he and Blagojevich also talked about getting then-state Senate President Emil Jones to hand over his entire campaign war chest in exchange for appointing Jones to the post, while also wondering how much money prominent businessmen might contribute to his campaign fund if he were to hand them the job.
On one tape, Blagojevich sounds annoyed at the notion that he should be grateful to Obama for the good publicity that appointing Jarrett might generate.
"Do they think that I would just appoint Valerie Jarrett for nothin'? Just to make him (Obama) happy?"Blagojevich tells Harris on the tape.
Shortly before the election, Harris said, Blagojevich came right out and asked point blank how much money someone would be willing to pay for the job. Harris testified that both he and Bill Quinlan, Blagojevich'sgeneral counsel, warned the governor that he should not talk about that.
Quinlan, Harris said, told the governor: "You can't even joke about things like that."
But during one conversation, Blagojevich sounds excited about the opportunities afforded by the appointment.
"This is good," he tells Harris at one point. Another time, he says, "I could get something for that couldn't I?"

I probably won't be blogging much this summer, but wanted to check in so people woudn't think I'd died or something.
The main reason I won't be writing much here is that I'm planning to spend most of my writing time on a book instead, or at least part of a book. I'll be researching and writing a book entitled Libraries and the Enlightenment for the Library Juice Press. The announcement is here. I've been toying with this topic since last summer, and it took a good discussion with Rory Litwin and a contract to spur me to action. I'm hoping to capture a lot of my thoughts on politics and the importance of academic and public libraries. The book will be part history, part philosophy, and all wholesome goodness, so if I do manage to finish I hope you will all buy multiple copies. It's a pity Oprah's television show will be over by the time it comes out, because I think this would right up her alley.
I'll still be somewhat busy with conferences, including a few days in DC for ALA Annual. Though I always seem to be busy at ALA, this will probably be my least busy ALA for the next three years, since I somehow managed to win two different elections this spring. I'm going to be a Director-at-Large for RUSA and the Vice-Chair/ Chair Elect for RUSA CODES.
I will also be attending the Reference Renaissance conference in Denver in August. I attended the first one of these two years ago and enjoyed it. If you're going, you'll have the rare opportunity to see me speak at a conference, and the unprecedented opportunity to see me speak twice. I'm participating in a debate/discussion with Joe Janes over the ethics and efficacy of what I call "fake reference," the secret shopper type assignments where library school students go out to chat reference services and ask questions that may or not be genuine. Our hope is for a bit of us and a lot of audience participation.
I was also invited to be one of the four plenary speakers at Ref Ren. For some reason, I thought of the great Lady Bracknell line from The Importance of Being Earnest: To lose one parent may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness. Steven Bell and I and a couple of others will be speaking about the "user experience." I haven't decided what I'm going to say yet, but I'm going back and forth between satire and seriousness. Maybe I'll try both.
Busy times ahead, but the CV is sure looking good. So if you don't see much of me here, you'll know why. Have a good summer.

Know Your Midwife necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 159 diseños de 35 diseñadores freelance.
Know Your Midwife
During my career as a midwife, I have been blessed to have had the joyful opportunity to assist over 1000 women birth their babies. Women want and desrve a calm, gentle and natural birth, but all to often, their experience is far from this. In my experience, a midwife partnership - beginning early in pregnancy and continuing through to post-natal care - makes all the difference. That's why, together with some equally experienced professional midwives, we are launching a new midwifery service, Know Your Midwife.
Know your Midwife forms a Continuity of Care partnership with pregnant women to help them, and their partners, be well placed emotionally and physically, to experience the calm, gentle, natural birth they want and deserve. This is a private practice that cares for women in collaboration with the hospitals in which they birth. They will have the same carer throughout pregnancy, birth and the postnatal time. Many workshops (Fit for Pregnancy, Fit for Life; Getting Ready to Welcome Your baby; Active birth;Breastfeeding Successfully;Vaginal Birth after a Caesarean; Positive Caesarean; HypnoBirthing) compliment our multi-week continuity of care programme and are appealing to pregnant women willing and able to invest in a relationship born out of knowledge and know-how and a committment to doing all it can to make every birth a happy birth day for everyone involved.
While our service will begin in a local area, we have big ambitions to trademark and expand a franchise because we believe that through our services, more women can enjoy the calm, gentle birth we strive for.
We are looking for a logo that will form the bedrock of all Know your Midwife branding.
From a logo design standpoint, 3 words seem inportant in terms of the logo's tone of voice and/or feel: CALM, GENTLE, NATURAL.
Also important is TRUST. We're trained, highly qualified, experienced professionals in our field, and need to be presented as such.
Our name - KNOW YOUR MIDWIFE, needs to read clearly in the design.
Commonly in our business we see the dual use of purple and green colours. We are neither for nor against these colours. They can help make the practice look like it "belongs" in this arena. But equally, if the green and purple is too vivid, it starts to look less friendly/approachable, and it also starts to look generic. The colour must have a blue tone, not yellow.
It's also common in our business to see elegant logos that feature the pregnancy "bump" - possibly with the line of a fetus in that bump. This has some advantages - it communicates the essence of midwifery practice, which is pregnancy - however - it may be a bit predictable/generic.
Obviously no clip art or cartoons.
Our logo will be used as collateral and online and needs to be formatted for small, medium and large applications.
Once we have a logo there will be a follow-up brief for collateral, stationary etc.
All Indesign, Illustrator, manipulable vector logo files are good.

LOCKPORT – A Buffalo man who was caught with crack cocaine in North Tonawanda March 3 was sentenced Monday to a year in state prison.
However, Niagara County Judge Sara Sheldon Farkas recommended that Kenneth Z. Jackson be assigned to the boot camp-like "shock incarceration" program, which could lead to parole in six months.
Jackson, 29, of Donaldson Road, had pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of attempted fourth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance. He threw away a bag of crack as North Tonawanda police chased him from Schenck Street to Bryant Street, Assistant District Attorney Peter M. Wydysh said.

MANSFIELD -- Brett Eldredge, the 28-year-old country star from Illinois, is living a dream on Keith Urban's "Raise 'Em Up" tour. "I was a huge Keith Urban fan way before I got asked to be on this tour," he said in an interview ahead of Saturday night's show at the Xfinity Center. "So to be able to go up there and sing and give him a high five and give him a hug is a dream come true.
As laid back as he comes across, it's easy to see the passion in Eldredge's eyes and hear it in his words as he speaks. It is obvious there is nowhere else he'd rather be than on that stage performing.
Coming off two straight back-to-back number one singles and a best-selling album on iTunes, Eldredge is quickly becoming a force in country.
"I'm just so lucky to have this job and have these experiences," he said.
It didn't all come naturally. When he started he had to overcome a fear of being on stage and the fact that he couldn't play guitar or write songs.
If you watch his popular YouTube videos, you'd never guess he is shy and reserved.
"When I first started I would stare at the ground and just pace back and forth and not look up at the crowd. It was a fear of mine for some reason. But then I started to feel the comfort of the crowd and realized these people don't want you to screw up, they want you to do well. They want you to have fun so they can have fun.
"Once I figured that out, I started looking up more and more and then jumping all over the place and here I am today. I went from a shy guy to the complete opposite."
Another way to get rid of nerves? A pre-show dance party in his tour bus that has become a ritual he and his band partake in to shake any residual nerves before hitting the stage.
His guitar and song-writing took more effort. "When I got to Nashville I started seeing people on stage at these songwriter nights. I played guitar, but barely, and I saw people playing these songs about their life experiences and all that and I was like why can't I do that? I don't like to be one upped so I was like I'm gonna do that. I don't care what people say. I don't care how hard, it's supposed to be. So I started writing songs to just see if I could finish one and I started out writing bad songs then OK songs and now I have other artists cutting my tracks.
"The songs start getting better the more experience you get. It's my favorite thing to do now, next to being on stage. When you can sing songs you wrote on stage, together the two are amazing. That's what this is all about. I wouldn't change that for anything."
Since "Don't Ya" and "Beat Of The Music" have become best-sellers, Eldredge has obviously overcome the things standing in his way and done something many artists can't do: Connect with the fans. His newest single, "Mean To Me" off of his debut album is on its way up the charts now.
Each Wednesday, Eldredge posts a call for fans to submit their most creative reason he should sing to them. The winner gets a YouTube video of him singing to them.
"People always ask me to sing them to sleep or make their day better. They're like 'I'm having a bad day,I sure could use a pick me up.' So I figured I'd start this thing where I just turn on my phone and whatever I want to sing to them, I'll sing. "I've got fans that go crazy over it. I'll tweet about it and have over 500 responses in less than five minutes. I love to share this ride with everyone and they're sharing their lives with me so, heck, the least I can do is sing them a song once in a while."
Asked to name his favorite song to play on tour, Eldredge didn't hesitate. "Probably my song 'Mean To Me' right now. It's my single that I just put out but I break it down and pull out the acoustic guitar and it's a really personal song that I get to sing to the girls out there in the crowd." Eldredge also has a bit of a daredevil streak. Every time one of his singles reaches No. 1, he does something daring. First it was skydiving then shark diving. What's next?
"I feel like I've had several planning meetings with myself at night on the bus, just laying there thinking, 'OK what can I do that's crazy and fun?' The main reason I do this is to push myself to enjoy life and push myself to do things I never would have done otherwise...it's hard to get a number one song as it is...so hard. So when I do, I feel like I need to do something special. It'll be something fun and thrilling."
The connection between Eldredge and his fans is what is spurring his career. He's working on his next album, with only a few days off for a quick getaway to Nantucket, where he plans to fish and relax.
Then it's back to work on his climb up the charts.
