This is a recent note from a reader who found my creative commons production music library. This video for a restaurant is a great example of why I offer my music hassle free, with just a link back, through my email newsletter…

Hello Dan-O,

I just finished making a video clip using your song and uploaded to youtube. I saw your note mentioned about your curiosity. So, I send you this email to let you know how and what I used your music for.

My name is Ooh and I’m doing my thesis for my master’s degree about digital marketing for a small restaurant in Germany. It’s a small Okonomiyaki (Japanese pizza) restaurant for max. 12 guests in Dusseldorf, Germany. Its name is “Japan Imbiss Fuga”. Imbiss in german language means small size restaurant. It’s kind of a snack bar which is not exactly a real restaurant where people can sit and eat at the big table.

The restaurant’s been opened for 2 years. Their shop doesn’t locate in a business area. Anyway, they serve very very good food. I love their food and want to help them out with marketing. I also need a topic for my thesis. Our needs just match.

I started a website, a blog, email services and now a youtube channel for publicity, but everything is in german language as the target customers are Germans. My concept goes for “low-cost budget” since they can’t afford a lot of investment for their small restaurant. So, I have to keep things free and legal, but effective.

I found your wonderful songs by chance while I was headaching looking for a royalty free music to use legally. Thousands thanks for your kindness. You really save my life. hehehe I used “The Art of Gardens (Instrument)” as a background music in a video clip. Here is the link to youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETNj68F-Pe8 It’s about how to make a Fuga-style Okonomiyaki . For Germans, Okonomiyaki is really exotic. They have no idea what it is. Video clip will help explaining a concept of Okonomiyaki to them.

Our website is www.imbiss-fuga.110mb.com. I’ll embed this clip to the website soon. And of course, I’ll give you credit for your song on the site also. I plan to make some other videos later, I may need your songs again. I do hope that you will allow us (me and Japan Imbiss Fuga) to continue using your songs.

Vielen Dank or “thank you so much” for your talent and kindness to people like us.

Kind regards,
Ooh-chan (Japan Imbiss Fuga Team)
