Some of you may know me as the infamous songwriter who penned a song for ExactTarget's software release a year ago - blog.exacttarget.com/blog/scott-dorsey/0/0/ready-to-rock-and-roll. It was a fun attempt to mix marketing and music to drive customer acquisition to our website and it worked well.
Years ago I penned a unique tune about a Missouri farmer who raided a grain elevator to retrieve his soybeans after the elevator company went bankrupt. It was my attempt to make it in the music business in 1981. I still have a couple of records laying around. The song never got much air play except for the milking parlors in Southeast Missouri. I guess the cows liked it.
Enter the web and the power of Google 28 years later. This evening my son, Zach, informed me that he saw my record on Google. I thought he was pulling my leg. However, after searching Google images, the past became the present as I came upon "The Great Soybean Raid of 1981". What a surprise. It shows you the power of the web and organic search.
So now I am blogging about a composition I wrote 28 years ago and it is still on someone's hit list. Feel free to give a listen - blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2007/08/365-days-242---.html.
