This is a great ad. Way to tap into the funny way we interact with rock music, obviously this radio stations “brand”.

You wanna rock? Rock with us… the underlying message says with a grin.

Robert,

Yeah, I think this would definitely catch my eye if I were walking down the street in SLC. How many of us have played air guitar when no one was looking?

I need to pick it up more. Chip suggested I get a stand so it doesn’t sit packed away, so I did but I still haven’t gotten to really learning it.

Should be a new year’s resolution. I also pulled my harmonica out — gonna give Blue’s Traveler a run for their money!

Survive a Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA)
A Public Service Message from Kay , CEO,
AED Professionals (GMD, Inc. Company)
1- 888-541-2337
SCA strikes people of all ages and fitness levels, usually without warning. According to an article in the Wall Street Journal, men at age 40 in the U.S. have a one-in-eight chance of suffering SCA over the rest of their lives, a stark indication of the toll cardiovascular disease exacts on society. Approximately 310,000 adults in the U.S. die each year from SCA. Don’t be one of them.

Always be prepared for the SCA. An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) can help save your life. It’s portable. It’s affordable. It’s easy to use. And now because of the recent technological advances, non-medical personnel can use these simple electronic devices to treat a person in cardiac arrest and save a precious life. When used within 3-5 minutes, AED can increse the chances of survival to 75%. AEDs are now available for home and professional use. For more information call
