I know this may not be the best place for this post but I know this is where all the real pros hang out.

I'm looking for a couple sentences for the back of an advertising trading card that describes what I do. By reading the following sentences you'll get the idea of what I'm trying to say!

I'd love another set of eyes to help me word this better.. There are 4 sentences I've listed but I'm open to change some or all of it if you have a great idea..

Here's what I have:


Mikey sings with his futuristic keyboard every kid's favorite songs adding a modern twist like never before that turns one man into a 16 piece band.

Mikey plays his futuristic keyboard and sings every kid's favorite songs with a modern twist like never heard before that turns one man into a 16 piece band.

Mikey uses his futuristic keyboard to sing every kid's favorite songs with a modern twist like they never heard before.

Mikey puts on a concert with his futuristic keyboard featuring every kid's favorite songs with a modern twist like they have never heard before by turning one man into a 16 piece band.

Either post your idea or modification or email me at djmikey1@aol.com

Thanks Jim,

I accidentally posted it twice.

That could work. I'm gonna wait on a few more and maybe take a word or 2 from a few posts.

Mike, for what it's worth........

"Classic children's songs with a modern sound.
Mikey creates a wonderland of music and entertainment playing all the favourites kids love to listen to and sing-a-long with."

The problem with Mikey's sentences were that they were too long with too many ideas.

Zuki's #2 is the best. Here I've augmented it:

Mikey,

"Mikey plays/sings YOUR kid's favorite songs like they never heard them before, making his keyboard sound like a real 16-piece band!"

- since you are addressing parents I think you should add "your" to make them think you are referring to their special snowflake.
NOTE: If you expect that the leaflets are going to be read by kids, (flashy colours etc) then add the word "kids" to attract them, and possibly make them to press their parents for your leaflet

- NEVER mention the word "organ" or derivatives like "my organ" or "Mikey's organ" either in talking or in print within 1000 words before or after the word "kids". No need to explain why. Sometimes things like that get overlooked...

good luck.

Have a day to yourselves, drop the kids off with Mikey

I wouldn't mention the keyboard at all you'e the star not the keyboard. If it was for my kids I wouldn't care if you played keyboards, guitar or recorded music as long as the entertainment aspect was there. variation's I like so far are.

Mikey creates a wonderland of music and entertainment playing all the favorites kids love to listen to and sing-a-long with
or
Kids Join Mikey's Band! Sing your favorite songs
or
Have your kids Join Mikey's Band! Sing their favorite songs

Have your kids Join Mikey's Band! Sing their favorite songs!

That actually means that the parents should do the singing.

Mickey,
Writing rule #1: Use the least amount of words with the least amount of syllables to get the point across!

IMO, DonM comes closest to what you need to communicate to your clients. I pared it down a bit.

Youngsters join Mikey's Keyboard Band, and sing their favorite songs!

Cheers,

Gary

"clean and sober for over a month now"

Mikey, use these. You'll be rolling in money in no time. Make sure they know that the picture of you on the Post Office bulletin board is a mistake.

All in good fun, Mikey. Actually, I agree with the guys that suggest that you keep it short and 'punchy'. Good luck.

"Parent's ...keep your bratty kids and their sticky fingers away from my expensive instruments while I play all my favorite songs....and don't touch my mic - this ain't a KARAOKEEEEEE bar !"

Sorry ...couldn't resist!

How about:
" Drop your kids to Mikey and they will smile and sing"


good luck Mikey
