Wow! That is awesome! Can't wait to tell Anna! How did they get your music over there? Did they download it do you know? since it's spinning, I figure they must have a copy!  Yelp! It's time for the world to meet Chance. |

Very Cool Update!
So, I just spoke to the DJ from Qatar Radio. (He called me; can you imagine that phone bill?)
Turns out that Qatar Radio is in fact the ONLY station in Qatar, and he says it looks good for me to be the #1 most requested song next week. If that happens we will set up a recorded interview to be played at a later time.
Amazing huh?
So, here's some info on the country for the curious at heart:

IN~cred~IBLE!
Now that's a way to come home, checking your email and finding out Chance is doing well in Qatar. Sounds like someone's gotta do a show up there.
How does Mr. Jawhari feel about hitting the place up with "Taste" once SWYW starts lowering? Did he hear it yet? |

I can imagine you're also getting alot of playtime to the deployed soldiers, there's alot of them in a sort of headquarters element set up in Camp Doha in Qatar.
Chance, you international culture-spanning rockstar you, you need to ask how your music got over there. It's probably a pretty good story. |
