Help a friend!

Hi all, sorry for the shameless advertising. Please take a moment to help out a friend of mine. This friend (Chris Thomas) is an amazingly gifted young composer, who has an incredible ear - (to demonstrate, he once dropped a spoon and told me the three notes it made (something like B-flat, F, C-sharp) as it hit the tile counter. Amazing.) Now, he is in Los Angeles, trying to make the big time. He is the real deal. He's recently been nominated for the 2007 Film and TV Music Awards - up against some of the biggest names in the industry (the other categories include TV shows and movies I'm sure you all will recognize). So take a minute to vote and help him out! Thanks so much!

Here's his email:
