Bands touring with major stars have introduced this simple system, to much of the world. If you hope to be a studio singer or musician, you need this knowledge.

Ambassador Charlie Ray will conduct a seminar, on song pitching. All seminars are free to festival attendees. A complete list of seminars and times will be posted, at the festival. ************************************************** Reader's Comment Your newsletter posted: It is incorrect, because it has been available to independent artists in the past...just within the last 8 years it's very, very difficult... but it still can be obtained with the proper marketing budget & hiring the right people for the job. Please don't let Mr. Farrish discourage any good recorded
product being marketed correctly. It never a waste of time when you build
a good house (even to test market the plans for it) & then to sell
it to the public. To get it on the multiple listing nationwide don't you
just hire the right agent for that process! It's a business and approaching
it as product, marketing, & sales is the best advice for everyone! Reader's Comment We received hundreds of emails both in favor of and opposed to our last newsletter. This was one of the better written emails opposed to it. It was sent by a country music DJ, from Germany. Hello there, ************************************************** Correction Ollie North says the statement attributed to him, in the April Newsletter is incorrect. ************************************************** The following humorous pseudoquotes were submitted, by G. Lawton WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD? ERNEST HEMINGWAY GRANDPA MARTHA STEWART GEORGE BUSH HANS BLIX SADDAM HUSSEIN RALPH NADER MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.
