Here is a clip that a band I'm in did for an insurance company. I am actually heard constantly on this track but its not so obvious that its a pedal steel I guess.
Click here
I did submit a new slogan for the company:
"Making your money into our money. Its what we do."
I haven't heard back from them yet but I'm hoping.
A funny thing is on the first one we did a woman that lives up the street is an actress in it. She is the mopey office woman that saves the Chinese dude from a bunch of falling boxes.
The ad is about how everybody should be nice to each other and then send a large portion of there income to the swell guys at the insurance company.

| Bob, I saw his commercial on tv earlier tonight and noticed the steel. I like your sense of humor about it. I hope you were able to make some of their money yours! |

Bob,
That sounds real good. Congratulations on the commercial. I know those opportunities can pay pretty nicely.
Cheers!

I suddenly feel under-insured.
Those commercials are vile, but it IS nice to hear Hem while I'm being brainwashed. Now, where's my checkbook?
So, now that you're a sellout, do I have to sell all my Hem cds?

| Very, nice. I note the video changed from a few weeks back. The one that played first time I looked had "the mopey office woman that saves the Chinese dude". So I guess you played on several. I must be a total dolt, I had a very hard time figuring what parts were the steel in the "Girl saves Chinese Dude" episode. The reason I decided to check again today, was to see if my ears were any better, this second video "girl saves pizza man", I do hear the steel. |
