Hi All,
I can't believe it's already Sunday night... I don't know where the time goes... BTW.. if any of you know, please let me know.. I'd like to get some of mine back! I wanted to take a moment here to say a few words about a new "Community" website that I find very aggravating. "MySpace.com" has become very popular with many folks for a variety of reasons. I found out about it a few months ago because there was an artist who created a "home page" there and asked me to link to it... after seeing what was on that particular page, I was shocked, replied to the artist that I could not, in good conscience link to a site that allowed porn to be blatantly advertised. Of course, the artist hadn't realized that folks were just walkin' on to that page and posting their links. This is a free-for-all of folks posting whatever they choose to post on anyone's personal page. Since that time, there's been quite a few artists posting their info there to get more exposure, but there's more being exposed than just their info and of course, it's like fighting spam... you can delete it one day and the next day there's twice as much relisted.
I received an email from a long time fan of Child Alert Foundation and she began telling me her thoughts about MySpace.com, which were pretty much the same as mine.
"Years how they fly...I check out your sites from time to time and wow they are huge now! You must be out straight. I was emailing you of this new site that is of karaoke singing or artist that would like to be heard. www.ksolo.com
I also wanted to know if you all are keeping a watch on the MySpace.com program that is getting a lot of public watch at this time.... I just heard of it and a few months back and checked out the site to see what our children our seeing its sick and free access to them. We the parents don't have a lot to say or should I say voices being heard. I know your into things like this so I wanted to see if this has been brought to your attention or if you could get it out on parents beware of what this site is and ages allowed but any can get in. Let me know what you can do on your site to get the message out to help protect our children."Well, this is my first act of informing others about the callousness of MySpace.com. As for what to do about it, I'm not quite sure yet, but I hope all of you will inform your friends and ask them NOT to use this venue for exposure.. there's more being exposed there than just their talent. There are so many GOOD sites that PR only music, no explicit ads, etc. and you can get just as much exposure without giving some low-life the opportunity to "expose their talents" at your expense.. and by that I mean your reputation. To date, I have refused to link to anyone that I know is posted on MySpace and will continue to do so until they clean up their act.

Payola Investigated by the Government!I wanted to share this info with all of you. Most artists are aware of "Pay for Play" or "Payola" and how it's used to get one's recordings heard, and even to #1 slots. Now the government is investigating and prosecuting for this illegal payoff for fame. I saw the show on ABC's Primetime Thursday night and wanted to share this info with all of you.. in or out of the business. This is why indies have such a hard time being heard, and why fans don't always get to hear what they want to hear. I feel it's important for all of you to check this out. You can watch the video broadcast of the show or read the text of the show, whichever is more convenient for you. I've also included the other 3 articles that came up in my search for "payola" as they all have something to do with radio play. I want to point out ahead of time, it is NOT the artists who are guilty of payola.. this goes on between record companies and radio execs. The DJs are also innocent.. on the major stations, the DJ has no control over the playlist.. they spin what they're told to spin. Read on.. I think you'll all find this very enlightening.

The great thing about country music is how it can impart so much truth in less than four minutes.

Gary was voted top male vocalist in the Nashville Scene's Country Music Critic's Poll, as well as Number 2 album and Number 5 single. Hurt can be just as hard to overcome as temptation.

MIDAS RECORDS NASHVILLE Announces
Signing of Country Star STEVE AZAR
At Wednesday’s CRS Late Night Bash
The music industry and radio attendees at Midas Records Nashville’s CRS bash on Wednesday were in for some surprises throughout the night. After Midas’ newcomer Lindsey Grant performed, the newly launched label announced its latest member to the Midas Nashville family - country star Steve Azar, who also got on stage to play for all the industry movers and shakers. Midas Records’ debut artists Emerson Drive capped off the evening with their performance. Azar’s first project as a joint venture with his new label will be Indianola, presently scheduled for a Summer 2006 release.
"Steve Azar is an artist I had always admired from afar for his great voice and songwriting - 'Til Monday' is one of my favorite songs. When I finally had the chance to meet him, it was obvious to me that this guy is a star. We are thrilled to work with him at Midas records” says Keith Follese, Midas Records’ A&R.
In addition to Follese and Brad Allen in the A&R department, the label’s staff consists of some of today’s most experienced and respected industry veterans such as Mary Befera, Mike Martinovich, Stan Moress, Bob Reeves, and Al Schiltz.
Steve Azar, one of country music's brightest young stars today, burst onto the country music scene in 2001 with his undeniable charisma as a performer and prolific songwriting talent. In 2001, his successful debut album for Mercury Records, Waitin’ On Joe produced the No. 2 hit, “I Don’t Have To Be Me (‘Til Monday)" that is now approaching 3 million spins on radio, making it one of the most played songs in recent years. The follow-up single and title track “Waitin’ On Joe” became a Top 20 hit, with the video featuring Academy Award-winning actor Morgan Freeman reaching No. 1 on CMT. On Indianola, Azar serves as producer and writer/co-writer on all fourteen tracks and claims the music takes you on a journey back to his Delta roots. ExxonMobil will sponsor Azar’s 2006 tour promoting the new CD.
Says Azar, “I’m really looking forward to this partnership between Midas Records and my new imprint label, Dang Records. Both Keith Follese and Brad Allen have given me the creative freedom I’ve always hoped for. I’m also excited about working with Bob Reeves, Midas’ National Director of Promotion as I’ve known and respected him for many years. His ethics, his integrity and his vibe are unmatched. This is indeed, a very humbling and unique opportunity for me."
L to R: Midas Records' Southwest Regional Manager, Mike Severson; Southeast Regional Manager, Clay Henderson; West Coast Regional Manager, Stacy Nichols; Midas Records' artist Steve Azar; National Director of Promotion, Bob "Goldfinger" Reeves; Midwest Regional Manager, Shari Roth; Associate Director of Promotion, Mary Befera; Keith Follese and Brad Allen, co-heads of the A&R department

NEW RECORD DEAL FOR TRAVIS TRITT
(As reported in Hot Country News, Edited By Stuart Cameron)
One of Nashville's newest independent record labels, Category 5 Records, has announced the signing of Country superstar Travis Tritt to a multi album record deal.
"Not only is Travis perhaps the best male vocalist in a generation, his talent transcends narrow definitions," says Category 5 President/CEO Raymond Termini.
Tritt said, "The determination and enthusiasm of the Category 5 team makes it the perfect home for my music as I embark on this next stage of my career. The promotional savvy and level of support they've pledged meets or exceeds anything I've seen from the major labels I've been associated with."
Tritt is a two-time GRAMMY award winner and has sold more than 25 million albums to date. He will be the flagship artist for CATEGORY 5.

Jack Blanchard & Misty Morgan
THE COMEDIAN.
I worked in a show club in Detroit with The Dawn Breakers quartet. The emcee was a very funny comedian named Frankie Rapp.
He did an impression of a gay lighthouse. I saw him in a Jerry Lewis movie once.
There was a classy female singer on the show who was Frankie’s ex-wife. She told me she didn’t like old comedians. She’d been married to two of them. After comedians make us laugh we expect them to be jolly in real life. They can be quite different from their onstage persona.
Mickey Rooney is one of our finest comedic actors, but backstage we found him grouchy, unfriendly, and rude. Lou Costello got 60% and Bud Abbott got 40% of their income. When asked if he thought he needed Abbott, he said this:
“I could have him painted on the curtain.”
Misty and I have known hilarious comics who were serious depressives. We got involved with one who was a tyrant.
I was producing a Starday Records artist named Rusty Diamond, who had a knack for getting rich backers. Rusty wanted to put together a Vegas type stage show. I knew he wasn’t ready for that, so I suggested we hire a comedy coach named Danny Rogers.
Rusty’s backer was paying for the coaching sessions, and the rent on a rehearsal hall. Danny could be funny, lovable, humble, devious, and cruel. He could be different people at different moments. He did so many characters, I didn’t know which was the real him. I think it was the mean one.
He’d been fired from Milton Berle’s Vegas show for being too funny. He told me “Berle was right. It was his show.”
The potential comedy group consisted of Misty and me, Paul McLaughlin our sax player, and Rusty was to be the star. Rogers began calling Paul “the hick” and riding him mercilessly. I was the designated straight man, Misty was “the chick”, and it never became clear what Rusty was supposed to do.
It did become clear that Rusty was not going to be the star. Danny was getting paid to train him, but Rusty was on his way out.
It was morphing into The Danny Rogers Group. He was a terrific comedian, and I was to be his Dean Martin. He didn’t even want Paul in the act. That’s why he made his life miserable. But we made sure Paul stayed.
To be fair, Danny did teach us a lot about stagecraft and comedy. He taught us some hilarious routines, but he yelled at us all the time, which took the fun out of it. Rusty’s backers pulled the plug and he left the group, Paul “the hick” was miserable, and Misty and I were imagining fun ways to kill Danny Rogers.
Misty bought an expensive new dress and Danny commanded her to “Never wear that again.”
Then he booked our act into a famous showplace in the Caribbean. We all knew at that moment that we were not going to be on any island with Danny Rogers. We were actually afraid to tell him. He had become the cruel warden. But we did tell him, and he wasn’t happy First he became the poor soul who’s been hurt, to make us feel guilty. He was good! Finally he got mad, did a troll dance, and left.
Maybe I made up the troll dance.
In the 1970’s, after we’d had several hit records, I was calling old names in our address book, for some dumb reason. I got Rogers on the phone, and asked if he remembered us, and he said this:
“Yeah. Too bad you never made it.”

DentalPlans Starting at Only $79.95/year!Record Pools – Are You Swimming Yet?
By Jaci Rae
The winter months have hit us and unless you live in Southern California, most people aren’t swimming in open-air pools any longer.
Until recent times, Indie Artists and the labels they set up for themselves had a hard time getting their music heard by anyone outside their own backyard pool of fans. With guerilla marketing finally becoming common practice and online music stores becoming a main stay for the music aficionado, record pools are now open for business to the general indie population.
What is a record pool? Basically, a record pool is a membership of DJ’s that act as an intermediary between DJ’s and the music makers. The power behind a record pool is that it can reach a mass, global market in lightening speed.
As of 2005, there are over 7000 DJ's and industry professionals who are part of this digital revolution. In order for a DJ to belong to a record pool, they must pay a monthly association fee to obtain the latest and most current music.
Frequently this music is available to them before it becomes available to mainstream radio, and because of that, record pools quite often have more of an initial impact than the popular mainstream outlets.
The power radio programmers have over radio, clubs and street music is now handed over to the DJ’s who participate in the record pools, allowing them to have control over what they “break.”
So how can you get an invitation to swim in their pool? No invitations necessary, but you must have a good professional product that is available in digital format (although I did find one that accepted vinyl).
Some of the record pools now require that you have your own label, meaning that you don’t submit as your band name. That is easily done by setting up your own label (too much information to go into here, but you can find the information inside my book The Indie Guide to Music, Marketing and Money).
Once you have the business side taken care of, start searching the internet using the keywords, “record pool,” and then contact them to be certain that your style of music is part of their repertoire.
Don’t randomly send out your online or hard copy press kit to every record pool you find, just as you wouldn’t send your music to every station you discover. E.g., a country record pool isn’t interested in acid rock and a classical record pool won’t be interested in spinning a blue grass tune. Then begin to submit your CDs using the contact information you acquired. Do you homework and beware of companies that don’t post charts or may be music collectors.
Here are a few record pools I found on the web:
http://www.americanrecordpool.com (they represent an assortment of music, including R&B, Hip-Hop and Dance.)
http://www.keystonespinners.com (they represent Hip Hop, Latin, World and Jazz)
http://www.vipchicago.com (they represent Dance, Hip Hop, and Latin)
The time for indie artists is upon us, but you better take advantage of record pools now, before someone puts a “no swimming without a lifeguard” sign out. Jaci Rae – “The Rae of Hope TM” Copyright 2006

New Street Pitches and Upcoming CoursesThis week's quotes:
"I'm so glad I joined SongU.com" - quote submitted on 2/17/06 by SongU.com member, Kaye W., TN
"I'm really excited about what you guys are doing and continue to do. Once again, you confirm the wisdom of my choice to join SongU.com." - quote submitted on 2/16/06 by SongU.com member, Van B., IL
Hi everyone,
It's getting cold here where we live, so I hope you're staying warm this February! We had a great gig at the Bluebird last week. Fortunately, the predicted snow held off so we had a full crowd. Thanks to SU faculty Pat/Pete Luboff, Dave Gibson/Daisy Dern, Marcia Ramirez and Nancy Moran and Fett for sharing their talents with us. This week I spent the better part of the week at a distance education conference learning about all the new trends in distance education...cool stuff that we'll continue to incorporate into SongU.com to keep us on the cutting edge on our virtual campus.
More Connections: New Street Pitches and Unscreened Pitching Opportunities!
Speaking of cool stuff...we've rolled out the new Spin N' Pitch upgrades this past week. We've contracted with an experienced A&R consultant who will be screening pitches and burning songs on to CD for their upcoming meetings. These special "street pitches" will allow members whose songs are forwarded to get their songs directly into the hands of the decision makers. We've also added special "unscreened" direct pitches that allow our members to directly send material for independent pitch opportunities in Country, R&B, Christian, Urban, Jazz and more. And while getting songs recorded will still require a magical combination of a great song, the right artist, undeterred determination and some luck, we hope these new features and opportunities associated with Spin N' Pitch will help our members get their best songs out there (you can view all the current pitching opportunities http://www.songu.com/pubSpinnpitch.asp). As always, there is no extra charge to participate in pitching opportunities using Spin N' Pitch for our Platinum Members.
