Josh McNeely of Jam Your Gram Singing Telegrams joins us to explore the vibrant world of musical surprise deliveries and how they create unforgettable memories for special occasions. Singing telegrams have evolved beyond barbershop quartets into personalized performances that deliver heartfelt connections in our increasingly digital world.
• Singing telegrams remain popular but many people don't know they still exist
• Josh created his business to combine his musical talents with more family time
• Standard telegrams typically include 1-2 songs, a balloon, and chocolate
• Performances can be customized with personalized lyrics and different musical styles
• Virtual telegrams and video options are available for long-distance celebrations
• The service creates emotional, memorable experiences that last beyond the moment
• Josh incorporates audience participation to create a celebratory atmosphere
• Performing telegrams requires reconnaissance to ensure the surprise works seamlessly
• Josh donates $5 from each telegram to Phoenix Children's Chorus and provides free performances to children's hospitals
