FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PORTLAND, OR – November 9, 2006 - Rob Gamble, creator and host of a podcast on mentorship called myPodMentor at www.mypodmentor.com, put his words into practice by offering to be a musical mentor to another podcaster.

As a regular listener to Short Cummings Audio (a weekly humor essay Podcast) Rob Gamble noted that the shows musical background was simplistic and repetitive.

"Having a musical background, I really enjoyed the blues riffs Kevin had chosen, except it was all in the same key”, says Rob. “So we took his great loops, played with some musical ideas, and put a simple blues chord progression to it. Next thing we knew, we had a great little tune we call The Short Cummings."

Cummings’ response was prompt and enthusiastic. "I was thrilled," he said. "I really respect Rob and his show and it was great of him to offer help"

Although they live in different states — Oregon and Utah respectively — the same technology which allows them to create podcasts allowed them to collaborate. The pair exchanged ideas and files over the internet until Rob Gamble was able to craft a richer and more sophisticated mix of Cummings’ original music.

"I was just blown away," Cummings said. "I’m not a musician and I had no idea how much variation was possible. Even though we only worked on this a little while, I learned a lot."

“It was a fun learning experience for both Kevin and I”, Rob concluded.

The new music will premier on November 18, 2006 on a Short Cummings Audio episode entitled "Scheduling Difficulties". It can be found on-line at www.shortcummingsaudio.com. Both programs are available for free on-line and through the iTunes Music Store.
