USHER'S NEW LOOK COMING TO FMG TV

We have a new addition to the FMG Network, we are extremely honored to be featuring Usher to FMG TV!

We are getting a new addition to the FMG Network, we are extremely honored to be including Usher and his amazing new program 'New Look' to FMG TV!

Usher explains in his own words what New Look is:

"Service, volunteerism and civic action are integrated into all our programs and we're committed to being a voice and a force to aid in the resettling of evacuees and the mobilization to help rebuild communities fractured by hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

That endeavor alone marked remarkable change.

The logo for New Look is a star, representing constant evolution and growth.

It inspires us all to rise above obstacles and to become a force moving toward great possibility. I know we have many challenges ahead, but our bottom line is about our hearts and our conscience -- about doing and not just watching.

It's about making something happen that's good, right and needed."

MY NEW USB MIC PREAMP FOR ROADTRIPS

I recently purchased a cool little device that allows me to record professional audio with my condenser microphone directly into my computer without a mixer.

It's only about 2-3 inches long, plugs in via the USB, you can carry it in your pocket, and create professional audio in your home or on the road.

What is this fancy little gadget? It's called Centrance MICPORTPRO and you can find it at BSWUSA.com
