Country Radio Broadcasters Executive Memo February 09, 2006 BS Your Way To Great Ideas: That's Brainstorming 101 By: Larry Daniels, Bob Richards, and Jay McCarthy's Brainstorming = Creativity. There's no question that unique ideas come from thinking 'out of the box' and that's one of the big benefits of brainstorming. You see, it's easy to repeat a contest, a stunt, sweepers, strategies and nearly anything else that involves on-air content in radio; but repeating and repeating and repeating can get old to your listeners.

Jaime Beaver Increase Fan Base Hi Everyone, We will need everyone's help on this VERY IMPORTANT PROJECT. As most of you already know, Jaime has moved to Dallas, Texas, under new management, "Rendleman Management Group, Inc." (with Marty Rendleman President who was LeAnn Rimes Manager for 3 years when she first got started) she will also be performing 5 times per week at the biggest Dancehall/Night Club in the Dallas, Texas area. Jaime has finally gotten a few good breaks and is headed in the right direction. We now have to concentrate on building her "FAN BASE",to show the Major Recording Companies that she has a huge following. Please join her mailing list and Fan Club - it does not cost you anything! Just go to her web site at www.jaimebeaver.com, click on "Contacts" at the top of the page, click Join My Mailing List, fill out the form and submit. In the future we will be putting out a monthly News Letter via the Internet to her fans. The music business is changing very fast thanks to the Internet and now Indie artist like Jaime can get the attention of Nashville Executive's without even leaving the house so to speak. What are they (Nashville) looking for? 1. Does the artist have a large fan base? 2. Is the artist getting lots of radio airplay, does not matter if it's overseas or in the U.S.A. 3. How is the artist doing on the International Radio Charts based on airplay. 4. Does the artist have a web site? How many people go to the web site, daily, monthly or yearly? Here they are talking # of hits the web site is getting, over 50,000 people have gone to Jaime's site. 5. Is the artist selling lots of CD's via the stores and/or downloads over the internet. Fans can now download Jaime's music (by song) at the WAL-MART & BEST BUY online music sites. 6. Where has the artist performed in the past and where is the artist going to be performing in the future? 7. Who is the Management Team behind the artist? 8. What kind of media coverage is the artist getting, TV, Radio, Newspaper, Magazine, etc.? 9. What are they (fans & people in the music business) saying about the artist? ( Reviews....see her web site). 10. Is the artist really talented? Does the artist have the looks & personality? Does the artist have good stage presents? Is the artist totally committed to her/his career? The list goes on & on, but I think you get the picture. Jaime needs a big "Fan Base" and we need to keep Jaime's name out there all of the time and in every positive way we can. We must show Nashville that Jaime is popular and she has what it takes to make it at the Major Recording Artist Level. Can we depend on you?

Jack Blanchard & Misty Morgan When I first met Misty Morgan we were both pianists and singers. Well, to be honest, she was actually the singer, and I was more of a songwriter. After we had been working together a while natural selection took over, and she became the lead piano player and I became the backup rhythm and bass guy. Her singing voice is so smooth and full of nuances and depth, we developed a “Beauty and the Beast” style of duet singing. Of course I was the beast. Besides being a great at the keyboards, she has always been my favorite singer. Somehow, she’s never been as thrilled with her own singing as the rest of us are. Misty released several solo singles in the 1960’s on our own labels. She recorded under the names Jacqueline Hyde and Maryanne Mail. at least two of the cuts were exceptionally good, but they never got much airplay on our little label. Jump ahead a bunch of years and you see us in a recording studio in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, where we’re recording some duets and the great country/jazz fiddle player Vassar Clements is there. We decide to do a couple of things featuring Misty and Vassar. First they do an instrumental, “Georgia on My Mind”, which just gets them warmed up. Then Misty picks out a bluesy torch song I wrote called “Still Comin’ Down from You”. The performance is a classic. I love it! Misty has a little smile when she hears it. I’m sure she likes it too, although she probably won’t come right out and say so. Listen to the clip: http://www.kokosuniverse.com/jm/wma/still_comin_down.htm Jack Blanchard © 2006. For a while I belonged to The International Platform Association, a speakers' organization, and this was my billing... "Professor Blanchard lectures on Dynamic Ignorance." With a little professional help, I got over it. Jack Visit the Music Room MESSAGE BOARD .... "it's a little bit different."
