The other day I was talking to Frankie, and when we got to the part about CoolTea’s upcoming Blog and Dine networking event at Chocopologie, Frankie said, “You know Chuck, a couple of years back I co-wrote* a song about chocolate.”
What followed our conversation was permission for me to include his song here on this blog and podcast for your personal enjoyment. I also am thrilled to announce a special deal for audio chocolate lovers which I’ll explain shortly.
In addition to writing multi-platinum hit songs for people like Tim McGraw, Frankie is also a seasoned jingle writer with credits that include: CBS, CMT, Fox, MTV, USA and others (e.g., Frankie’s CBS Football of the Week TV theme aired for over 12 years and during 5 SuperBowls).
Just because one does audio work in the major leagues doesn’t mean they charge outrageous fees. “A lot of local business people would be surprised to learn just how reasonable a custom jingle can be created by top writers like myself.” said Frankie.
Custom jingles are great for your next CDROM, DVD, and/or Video project. They can make your web site sing and add to your sonic branding.
So in honor of Frankie’s song and chocolate sensibilities, if you mention “I Like Chocolate” between now and November 30th, 2006, Frankie will give you a 10% discount on your next audio project you commission him on.
*I Like Chocolate - Co-Written by Frankie Vinci and Jimmy Santis; Produced/Arranged and Music Tracks Performed by Frankie Vinci - Multi-Platinum Award Winning Songwriter (Tim McGraw) who has Written/Arranged/Produced and Sung on countless number of National Jingles and TV Themes in the span of his 20 year career in the Advertising business - e.g., brands such as: Diet Coke, Duncan Hines, 7up, Bounty, Nestles Crunch, CBS sports, NFL Football, Superbowl Themes, Nashville Star, MTV, just to name a few
This audio interview is approximately 15 minutes in length and the file is a 3.5 meg mp3 file
About the Interview
Here we talk with Mike Jaffe - a Life, Career and Performance Coach
Mike encourages us to be congruent, move thru negative space, fuel a gentle fire, take small steps, set goals and break through walls.
As you’ll hear, a seemingly small decision to have breakfast with his wife and one-year old daughter the night before 9-11 made a huge difference in his life.
Some of the other themes and issues discussed include:
Life is a gift…
Negative space vs positive space…
Hitting walls are where breakthroughs come from…
Getting in touch with our passions and natural abilities…
We all share common limits…
Gentle fire and setting goals…
We are all making it up - the positive and the negative …
Intentional actions, set goals and take small steps…
