    Just found out last night that I'm (well a song I'm playing on) is going to be in a Weber Grill commercia, that will be airing nationally this spring/summer.

    Look (well, listen) for me on it. It will be the feature on the griller (my dad) in Maine.

    shoulda wrangled a weber for the commercial. that would ahve been great, instead it was my IV kit.

    It should be shown nationally, and I think it will be in their weber nation website starting april 15.

    I've been involved in some commercial work and the residual checks can be very nice. Were you bought out or will you get checks when the commercial airs?

    I'll certainly watch for the commercial. I'm not in one either. Who's in the one with the autoharp? "I left a part out?, I don't think anyone will know" I always listen for the "monroe" lick at the end.

    I saw the final cut. I'm in the "15 version. It supposed to be on ESPN and HGTV. Since I'm trying to wean myself off TV and more pickin' - I probably wont see it. Keep you eyes peeled.
