You net.music fans may be unaware of Jake's work.  Although his name is
rarely heard on the air, his works are heard perhaps more often than
any Top-40 artist's.  He gets played on MOR, AOR, T-40, C&W, all talk,
and Soul stations.  In fact, his tunes may be heard on almost any commercial
radio station in the United States.  Also MTV, ABC, CBS, NBC, and many other
tv stations.  Residents of the Bay State may also be familiar with his
song "The Spirit of Massachusetts is the Spirit of America".

"All my life supports have failed.
 All the other ships have sailed.
 Beam me up, Scotty. Beam me up!"       --Jake Holmes
