Wow!! Hi Katia! Sharon could have been looking at this post HERE. Sierra Hull is a 17 year old Bluegrass musician from Tennessee who specializes in mandolin/guitar. Alison Krauss and the band members of Union Station have paid attention to this prodigy from an early age. Her recent album Secrets was co-produced by herself and Ron Block of Union Station. Here's Sierra Hull playing with Alison Krauss and Union Station when she was very young: HQThanks, Sharon, for visiting my friend Swantje's board! We are so happy that you stop in for a visit now and then. ;D

Sharon AND Gavin definitely follow ALL the main boards (Corrs Club, COL & here) and know who is who !! I, for one, have been "busted" by both of them who reply to my Tweets as "CW" when my Twitter ID is @thecommonwombat.
Taking a wider view, tracking/following the boards has obviously given Sharon a great deal of heart that a passionate netbase of Corrs fanbase still exists and, if engaged, could not only provide a ready demand/market for her project and could even facilitate it's success.
Having said that, I doubt she could have dreamed of what has transpired so far. But that all boils down to HOW she has gone about it. It hasn't been pro-forma "formal" announcements or even Tweets about what SHE is doing. Rather she (and Gav) have hit every right note.
The EPK's have not only given us some gorgeous tempters of her music but also genuine insights into herself as a musician/songwriter & person as well as some light moments/bloopers & little personal moments. Even her site updates have a "personal touch". With Twitter, they have genuinely engaged with the fanbase (and others) by answering our questions, encouring us, entertaining us and laughing along with us.
In short they have treated us "as people", not inanimate objects and people have responded likewise. They have gained our reguine affection as people not just as public figures/artists. It is wonderful that they HAVE genuinely engaged us and we have loved WHAT they have provided but what has been of greatest value is THE MANNER in which they have done so.

cw: VERY well expressed. *two thumbs up* @katia: Wow!! That IS such a sweet thing of Sharon to say! Big hug back! As you have both said, Sharon and Gavin have done such a superb job at reaching out to us. It may be out of place to throw in this thought, but I seriously hope we'll all say "thank you," not just with our words, but with our money - with all true fans paying for her music. If we want brilliant music to stay around, we need to make sure that the musicians who make it are well-compensated for their creativity and talent.
