In the latest news, AM to FM Promotions have sent newly-minted "My Bachelor Ways" CDs to college and community radio stations across the country, while WaveLengthLA are doing the same in the US. Yours truly is not at rest either, packaging up CDs for individual show hosts in the US. 

Some DJs have already found our music online, such as Drew Millar, on Radio Skye from Portree, England, who featured two songs from My Bachelor Ways on his "Lone Ranger" country and bluegrass show. Thank you Drew for the kind words ("...two great songs..."

Following the release of several singles to the various "digital music platforms (DSPs)" like Spotify and Apple Music, it's time for the entire album to be dumped on unassuming listeners, to coincide more or less with the release to radio and the availability of the CD. The release date will be June 30th, 2021.

Meanwhile "Power Tool Sunday" has her own video now, which has one of the best Like ratios of any of my videos. Be sure to subscribe to the David Nelson Ostrosser youTube channels and say hello in the comments. 

I'll check back in once the album is up on all the DSPs.

The folks at Radio Skye in Portree, UK have are featuring my music on their "Lone Ranger" program - 2 hours of country music starting at 6 PM Greenwich Mean Time, which is apparently "high noon" in Nashville. Anyway, you can work it as to the hour depending on your time zone. Thank you to the "Lone Ranger" show for that. I'll be adding a radio play page on here soon, I think, so people can go back and re-listen or even catch the show's I'm on if they get the news in time.

And we had lots of good wholesome fun this last weekend at Hugo Lyrette's place filming the upcoming video for "Power Tool Sunday". No major problems and the weather was perfect. Thanks to Hugo and Stéphanie for use of their place (again!). The "Reunited By Lice" video was filmed there, and they also helped out with "Pocket Call". Hope to get the Power Tool Sunday video online within the next few weeks, as the editing already underway.

With Father's Day coming up, I thought I'd put together a "Fathers"-themed Spotify playlist (see higher up on the page for the widget), featuring mostly paternally-related songs that I actually know and like, but some that I hadn't heard and probably you haven't heard either. Touching on most styles of music, the list makes you realize it's country music that offers the largest selection on that theme, rivaling its monopoly on songs about trucks and beer. I admit to doing some editing to avoid leaning too far hard-core country. For something a little more sentimental than I usually engage in, give it a listen!

Meanwhile a radio campaign for the 'My Bachelor Ways' album is getting underway mid-June, and the CDs will be ready probably next week and I'll try to make them available on the site.

For the first time in I-don't-know-how-long my son and I actually went out to a restaurant to eat - the new Pho 'Maison de nouilles' that just opened up in town, because he loves wonton soup. Along with the pub patios opening up and Le Canadien winning their Stanley Cup quarter-final series, people are in a jovial mood these days, to say the least. "Kickin' out the jams" might be a better way to put it!

Enjoy your visit to the site and we'll have more news in a week or so.

Hi all, 

As usual, lots going on, which explains the few-and-far-between blog postings. The new videos are doing great, and if you haven't followed me on my youTube channel, here's the link to make it right.

Yell out "Google (or Siri), play David Nelson Ostrosser - Strawberry Blonde With A Fluffy Mic" to hear this calming number on your favourite digital music platform. Or follow this link to its Spotify page. And it would be great if you could follow me on my Spotify profile page, as lots of new music will soon be available on that platform, as well as on Apple Music and others.

I have some Father's Day content to share with you, but before I do, I'd like to mention that the "My Bachelor Ways" physical CD is being manufactured even as we speak, and that it should available on this site and for distribution to campus and community radio stations in a very short while. Hopefully a reel-to-reel version of the album will also be available, maybe even before the CD goes on sale. Let's get physical.

I did a somewhat personal video featuring my late father, who passed away last year, the day after Father's Day, 2020. I thought it would be fitting to give people a glimpse of what an amazing man he was, a year after his passing, and ten years after the original release of "I Rattle When I Walk", which was greatly inspired by him, and which is a favourite for a lot of people who enjoy my music.

So that's it for this blog. Feeling hopeful that the pandemic is coming to an end, and that I'll be able to do a bit of a promo visit to radio stations across the country over the summer and this fall.

We've got new videos uploaded to youTube for the songs 'My Bachelor Ways' and 'Strawberry Blonde (With A Fluffy Mic)', thanks to Thomas Dejaegher at Breadhouse Productions. So far 100% likes on these.
 

Also, 'Bachelor Ways' is up on Spotify and other DSPs ('Digital Streaming Platforms'), so Follow my profile page and you won't miss the new releases.

Things have been really active for me since the video came out, but I'm going to take a break from the promo and write my Big Bio. I'll let you know when it's ready.

In keeping with the New Orleans-style instrumentation of "My Bachelor Ways", the wheels are definitely churning behind the scenes! Thomas of Breadhouse Productions has been shooting scenes for the Bachelor Ways video - there's still some more to do, but the weather has cooperated perfectly so far. And Stéphanie is preparing the album cover for the CD. I'm getting the digital/Spotify release details sewn up and from now up until the digital release date for the single, we invite you to download "My Bachelor Ways" and listen to it wherever you like. We'd like you to join our mailing list, but we understand some people get enough mail as it is. Talk more later.

I did my bit for the video and hopefully we got some good shots I can use for "My Bachelor Ways", the new single from the upcoming album "My Bachelor Ways" . Unfortunately, the video shoot scene is going into Red Zone pandemic lockdown again tomorrow. Hopefully the video people were able to get the shots they needed today. Otherwise it'll be dicey. 

Kind of sad... My friend and music producer René Gely is moving to Vancouver :-( He'll be gone by the end of the month. Oh well, we got a hell of a lot of music done in these last six months, pandemic be damned!

More news later, it's time to make supper.

We've got a great lyrics video ready to go for "Cover Up Your Faceholes, Baby" that you can all sing along with. Mission accomplished in spite of Covid restrictions that pretty well eliminated any live performance. So we'll get that up this weekend and the nothing will be stopping radio distribution which we hope to have ready for the music directors by Monday morning when they come in to work. Lots of fun. We're just getting going here. Join the mailing list and be kept up to date when songs or videos are released. Next song up for release will be "My Bachelor Ways", which you can get a little preview of on the site.

The first single, "Cover Up Your Faceholes Baby", from the upcoming DNO album "My Bachelor Ways" is scheduled for worldwide digital distribution on February 10, 2021, just in time for Valentines Day.

My musical comparse on the album, multi-instrumentalist producer/arranger René Gely, serves up a mess of gritty, greasy Southern-fried slide guitar,  in a growling drop-D tuning. Don't miss it. Sign up to the mailing list and listen to "Cover Up Your Faceholes Baby" here before the official release. Radio will get a copy about a week after the digital stores, so be listening for it.

If you've stumbled upon this flotsam and jetsam by pure accident, I'm just getting this together to bring you a tsunami of new music during the next few months. If you want to be kept informed, sign up using the email form.
