United States Postal Service Full Service Approved
“U.S. Mail” by Lenny Lashley
I'm so lucky to have made Jamie McLennan's acquaintance! He goes by @Jamieprints on Twitter and has a fun JamiePrints Facebook page where you can learn and share about all things print. He always has a kind word and lots to offer at our weekly #printchat.
Another great thing about Jamie is that he likes music and sends me Mail Music Monday tips. He sent this one to me a few weeks ago but I was doing all holiday related mail music. Thank you, Jamie! I almost couldn't wait to use it because this is the most mailcentric song ever written! I mean, it's called “U.S. Mail” for starts. And the lyrics are all postal related (of course) and the video has a post office, a mail collection box, a mailman, a letter, postage stamps (don't forget that postage rates went up so stamps cost more today!) and ? What am I forgetting?

We so proud to be WaterTower Theatre's chosen mail service provider. WaterTower Theatre is an award winning not-for-profit theatre company in Addison, Texas. Their state-of-the-art facility is part of the Addison Theatre Centre which, fortunately for us, is just on the other side of the Addison Airport from our offices.
Direct mail projects that we've done for WaterTower Theatre have included postcards, brochures and letters — most of them designed by the amazing folks at Rainmaker Advertising. This postcard they did for The Adventures of Tom Sawyer really captured my heart. Take a close look at the picture of the card and I bet you can guess why.

Wow! I really love this video. I usually post something that's sort of somber and serious on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day but, after lots of searching, I found this joyous mail music song from Brad Paisley.
I hope you enjoy it and don't forget, today the U.S. Post Office is closed in observance of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday.
This time I've included the lyrics so you can sing along.
“Welcome to the Future” Written by Charles Christopher Dubois and Brad Paisley
When I was ten years old
I remember thinkin' how cool it would be
When we were goin' on an eight hour drive
If I could just watch TV
And I'd have given anything
To have my own Pac-Man game at home
I used to have to get a ride down to the arcade
Now I've got it on my phone
Hey, glory, glory, hallelujah
Welcome to the future
My grandpa was in World War II
He fought against the Japanese
He wrote a hundred letters to my grandma
Mailed 'em from his base in the Philippines
I wish they could see this now
The world they say is changing oh
‘Cause I was on a video chat this morning
With a company in Tokyo
Hey, everyday is a revolution
Welcome to the future
Hey, look around it's all so clear
Hey, wherever we would go and when we
Hey, so many things I never thought I'd see
Happening right in front of me
I had a friend in school
Running back on a football team
They burned a cross in his front yard
For asking out the home coming queen
I thought about him today
And everybody who's seen what he's seen
From a woman on a bus
To a man with a dream
Hey, wake up Martin Luther
Welcome to the future
Hey, glory, glory, hallelujah
Welcome to the future
