Here's What Music
Industry Movers and Shakers are Saying About Stacy's Music Row
Report": Nashville's Only Independent Source of Country Music News...
LOLA SCOBEY:
"Hi, Stacy- I remember you well, but don't know if you remember
me... I was Nashville Editor at Cashbox and met you through Bill
Littleton. You and I talked a few times, and I often saw you at
events.... I see from your web site that you have done extremely well
and have been, and continue to be, involved in an unbelievable number
of important things. You always had a kind of mysterious 'aura' to
me-- now I see you are in Mensa! Maybe you were constantly
thinking--collecting data and pondering it all! You know, the
more I've moved around, the more I've appreciated those who chose not
to... and what touchstones and resources you few are for holding the
true meaning of an era together and insisting on its truth. I
loved reading your critique of Ken Burns' recent series on country
music. Very few journalists could have done that. Well,
thanks for letting me share some 'Music Row memories.'... I know you'll
keep on with all the good you are doing."

it's because I don't spend much time browsing -- too many other things

fantastic. It boggles my mind to think of the time you spent on that.
Great stuff; keep at it... Thanks for your good work, and best
regards."

"Stacy, a little belated here, but thanks for the best wishes last
month after my ‘near-capsize’ on a cruise ship. The Coast Guard is
still investigating the cause, but there's a LOT of information that
never made it to the press. And I do mean A LOT! Anyway, since we
haven't seen each other in awhile I just wanted to let you know that I
AM alive and well....still doing the nationally syndicated 'Racing
Country USA' radio show (goes out to 8 million weekly...been at it for
9 years now!) and I'm STILL doing car dealership commercials (over
4,000 now in 15 years)...I've been offered some incredible jobs since
the Gaylord fiasco, but I'm very happy with where my life is now.
There's a reason for things to happen the way they do, y'know. Stacy,
I've been a country disc jockey for 27 years now and I've known you for
17 of those.....you've come a long way, too. I've been reading your
column online for quite a while and I'm always impressed at your
tenacity and candor. That's hard to find in Nashville these days...but
I love it...keep it up... I admire you and I'll keep reading if you'll
keep writing!"

and biggest country music magazine in Switzerland - the Newsletter of
the Country Music Club of Switzerland...Then I have my column of 1-2

deceptive nature... If you are ever in the Miami area, I would like to
have you on the air... Stacy has spent many years in Nashville. She

"Hello, Stacy. I am Perry Steilow, from radio station KXRB, a 10,000
watt classic country station in Sioux Falls, SD. We cover most of South
Dakota, and parts of MN, IA, NE. and ND. The CMA awards were/are a
travesty. Our audio is available on the web at www.KXRB.Com. I wonder
if you would be interested in chatting about Nashville on a radio show
live with our PD --Joe Morrison-- A certified doctorate in country
history if 35 years could do less than transform one. Joe has
interviewed and featured everyone who is anyone in the business for all
that itme. He is the most knowledgeable human I have ever known about
the history and business of this industry. We would love to have you
get on with him and "let it out". He counts very many of his
interviewees as personal friends. You could ask T Graham Brown, Jeannie
Seely, or Bill Anderson about Joe Morrison from South Dakota. With much
admiration and respect--Perry."

others, Merit Music (the "glory days" of Dave Burgess as publisher),
Bulls Creek Music (Fred Foster's daughter Micki ran the show in those

start over? I just sent in my money for CMA, now I am not sure if it
was a good idea. Love your info... I love the CMA, I just want it to do
what it is supposed to do. I would like to see less strong arming in

I'm a dreamer..."

even by my 'friends' in Nashville. Then again, being a Jew in the
Bronx, New York has not been easy either."

still like Bill Miller's Blue Chip Report, but I've certainly added you
to my "favorites" list.... I'd be happy to send you the Power Source

asking for permission to reprint from your Report in the future...

KEVIN JAMES:
"I just wanted to let you know that I love your site. Being a country
recording artist based in Dallas/Ft.Worth, and having a "real" job as
an advertising executive in the Dallas media, I can appreciate your
candor and wit! The inside scoop of information you gather and provide
helps those of us who aren't able to re-locate to Nashville. Your site
is very helpful in helping me strategize my budding recording career by
helping me keep up to date on Music Row executive changes, and other
music business updates, which is great for those of us outside the
music row fishbowl. Between my producer Dick McVey, and you, I feel
like I live there and know it all, even before some of the music
executives I know get the scoop! As former Texas Gov. Ann Richards once
said, "It may be the rooster that crows, but it's the hen that delivers
the goods" Thanks for delivering fresh news!"

BOOGIE
BUCK FELL:
"Stacy...I'm entranced by your reporting. I also ask too many questions
and say what everybody's really thinking - and prefer to talk about
what most people think you're not supposed to talk about. The absolute
Truth is ALL we can count on, right? And I'm not afraid of controversy
- anyone who is ain't honest, right? And what a blessin' it is, t' be
honest. It's so inwardly peaceful- although outwardly rocky. Spent ten
years in Nashville... Love your stuff! Keep up th' good work!"
-BOOGIE BUCK FELL (and his Jumpin' Piana), Chattanooga, Tennessee
ROSE CLAYTON PHILLIPS:
"Stacy, Your column is fabulous. How great to have someone who tells it
like it is. I've been there and done that Nashville county music
journalist thang, and you've got it right for what it is. It was great
seeing you again at the Americana conference. I've always appreciated
you support of our "Freedom Speaks" TV show. No other journalist in
Nashville bothered!"
-ROSE CLAYTON PHILLIPS, Memphis, Tennessee
BRIAN MCCULLOUGH:
"Hello! I've been reading, and enjoying, your report for a while now. I
think you do a tremendous job of cutting through the bull and getting
the straight info into the public record. I wanted to let you know that
my partner and I have opened a new show at the Stardust Theatre on
Music Valley Drive and we'd love to have you come out and see it. We're
anxious to remain in Nashville and become a regular part of the list of
"must see" attractions in town. The show is called 'Elvis and Roy: The
Lost Concert.' It dramatizes what might have happened if Elvis and Roy
Orbison had worked together. Fans of both are calling it a great show
and a fun concept. Members of Roy's old band have enjoyed it and our
musicians include David Fontana, son of Elvis' drummer DJ Fontana!"

love it, and have given you a spot on our links page if that is OK...
Yes, Stacy knows what's going on and does not mind telling you. Plus,
she is a graduate of the IBMA's inaugural Leadership Bluegrass class.
She has done a lot of other stuff too, but we think that is the
coolest."

DAVE
DOUGHERTY:
"Stacy, I just ran across your website. I may be wrong, but I believe I
met you many years ago in Nashville at the Bluegrass Inn. I was the
banjo picker for The Stonemans at the time and I seem to remember that
you were there sometimes in the early 1970s. I saw you on the
Stringbean show of "City Confidential" and it brought back a lot of
memories... Keep up the "good fight" with the CMA. As an old hillbilly
musician, I despise what has become of ‘country’ music' and no longer
listen to it. I may be wrong, but it seems to me that the CMA is
largely responsible for the fact that the old 'stars’ who made country
music great are largely ignored and unknown today... I read the article
that got you in trouble with the CMA. If that's all it takes to get on
their bad side they definitely have a god complex. Don't let them get
you down!"
-DAVE DOUGHERTY, London, Kentucky
ANN MARIE SMITH:
"Hi Stacy, Imagine my surprise to find myself in print after all these
years! I read your report to keep up on what's happening, even though
I'm not involved in the industry now... We're still in Las Vegas, and
love it out here. My extra time is spent on mental health advocacy,
which I've been doing for about 10 years now. Anyway, I just want to
tell you that I think you've done a great job with the Report and used
the Internet to carve out a unique niche for yourself.
Congratulations!"

Nevada

-HAROLD CROSBY, President, Traveler Records, Wichita, Kansas
KC & NEW GRASS REVIEW:

times they are a changin'."

stay on top of what's happening in Nashville since I don't get down
there as often as I'd like. I haven't had a chance to keep up with your
column recently, but finally took the time today to read some of your
latest headlines... I love your column and admire your integrity to
both your readers and your sources... Keep up the great work."
-CHUCK KAPER, member, Pennsylvania Country Music Association Board of
Directors, Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania
DAVID
BUTCHER:
"Stacy, Just want to make you aware of one of the new kids[?] on the
block, Carolyn Richards, and share my thoughts about your report. I
read it for the first time this past week... I loved your articles on
and about the CMA. While we have had no real contact with them, other
than being turned down for not doing 30 shows every year, I am familiar
with the politics of other 'Country Clubs.' Somehow, they seem to rise
to a point where they think they are better than everyone else and
start trying to 'play God' within their industries or interest. Same
thing has happened with the labor unions. They were needed when they
first got started, but have become their own worst enemy by now. Power
corrupts. We have very little contact with Nashville... mostly through
Gene Higgins and the CCMA. From observations during the two trips we
have made, I suspect that Gaylord Entertainment runs most of the
entertainment dealings in Nashville, whether up front or behind the
scenes. Regardless, we plan to 'do our thing' with or without
Nashville, although using some 'names' sems to help with our
promotions."
-DAVID BUTCHER, Manager/Songwriter CR Music, Vincent, Ohio

for longer than I care to think about. I enjoy my trips to Nashville
and all of the people I work with and come in contact with while there.
I read religiously everthing I can that may help in my quest, but I
just wanted to tell you that it is your report that I enjoy the most
and know I can count on to be accurate and with no sugarcoating. I hope
someday to have the pleasure of meeting you."
-MARVIN ADCOCK, songwriter, Strong City, Kansas
JIMMY HOLLOWAY:
"Just wanted to drop you a line and let you know about our newly
re-designed Web site... We have been online for about a year and a
half, and decided to re-design the site. We have had your link on the
front page all that time and still do. I also have a new cd single out
called ‘I Love My Country.’ "We recorded the song in Nashville at
Mainframe recording studio. The song is already getting quite a bit of
airplay around my local area, which is Cookeville, Tennessee. The song
is about country music, country music fans and the U.S.A. I thought you
might want to listen to a sample at www.CafeCountry.com. Really enjoy
your report. Keep up the good work."
-JIMMY HOLLOWAY, Star America recording artist, Jimmy Holloway

DAVE CALEY:
"Stacy, your country-music news is a must read for me. Keep telling
like it is... You get right to business in your reports and I think
that’s great... Keep up the great writing...Your story on Ken Kittinger
was interesting. Ken is a very good friend of mine. I’ve known him for
years. That’s the trouble with the country-music business: They have no
respect for the people that have helped make it great. I’ve been coming
to Nashville for 15 years trying to get on the Opry, but the politics
have kept me off. It sounds like its even worse now. I’m the first
artist to shoot a music video backstage at the Opry in 1990. It played
on TNN for a long time. The video was about the Opry, but they would
never invite me because Hal Durham didn’t like my manager. Politics..."

-TONY BYWORTH, Country Music Consultant/Journalist, London, England
LEE FRY:
"Stacy, first and foremost, let me say I believe you are probably the
best and most honest source of Music City news that I have seen. That
said (with honest admiration for your guts to be so forthright in your
reporting)...and was really pleased to find the direct source! My
admiration for your reporting only grew, not only [for reporting] the
latest news...easy to read, [but] I respect you're [being] unbiased and
unafraid of the 'Suits' and politicians of Nashville. [Your] way of
getting the news out honestly is definitely refreshing!......I now live
in Llano, Texas after living in Nashville as a songwriter (with several
recorded songs)for 7 years.... But, I digress: my sole intentions in
contacting you was to say 'WELL DONE!' in your honest reporting."
-LEE FRY, songwriter, Llano, Texas
ULTIMATUM MUSIC:
"Hey Stacy, I just recently began checking out your site and I really
enjoy it. I am new to the country world and I have found many closed
doors due to the fact that I'm not particularly Music Row-friendly. I
think 'You're too dark' is the most common response... Let me tell you,
there's an amazing dynamic between people's perception of comtemporary
country music artists, traditional country artists and everything in
between. Many times that perception is not the most favorable nor the
most open-minded... I guess this type of reaction is common throughout
all art forms. Maybe I just expected a little more from a genre of
music that is/was so steeped in tradition. Anyway, I just wanted to let
you know that I share many of your sentiments."
-JASON ZIEMIANSKI, Tour Marketing & Artist Development,
Ultimatum Music, Culver City, California

DENNIS
SCHULER SR.:
"Thanks Stacy, for everything. It is people like you that have left a
lasting impression on this ol' country boy's mind and helped to turn
this dream I had back in 1991 into a reality in 2002. I have met some
of Nashville's very finest as they opened their hearts and offered
their help, encouragement and blessings for our book on Mel Street-a
man who gave so much to country music in his short but rather
remarkable stay here with us. "I was very much impressed by the fact
that you had remembered the article you wrote on Mel Street many years
ago. Also, that it might have in some way given the depressed singer
some glitter of hope or ray of sunshine; during some dark days. To me
Stacy those words found a place in my heart and left me thinking, 'This
is what a writer should be about.' "I just wish we had got up with you
while we were researching the book and could have used the article. I
would love to read it and maybe we can use it in our promotions
somehow. It was very thoughtful of you to consider the positive effect
the article would have had on Mel and not just what others might have
gained from it. I wish there were more folks who think like you, the
world of country music would certainly be better served. Wouldn't it be
nice, if when we finished exercising our pens that someone's world
might look brighter because of us? Great thought Stacy!! You got my
vote and yes I think you are among some of Nashville, very finest...
Hope to see you soon and again thanks for all the help. May God Bless!
Keep On Dreaming!"

I have enjoyed reading your report for a good while now, but it’s the
first time I’d ever been mentioned to my knowledge. I had to look
twice. It went by so quickly the first time, doncha know (spoken with a
HANK LOCKLIN hillbilly/Irish accent). Anyway, it is an honor to be a
blurb in your report about GINNY [FOLEY] and Musictogo’s Music City

this cowboy feel ten feet
tall. I've had a
lot of reviews in my time, but none that made me jump from the
chair, and throw my arms in the air, like someone scored a touchdown.
Clint Eastwood's
"Make MY Day" pales to what you just did. Thank you for a review that
would make other recording artist envious. There
was a gang of folks flocked around the
computer when this came in and you would have thought there was a
basketball game being played and the underdog team scored the winning
shot at the last second buzzer. :) Thanks
again, Stacy, and I've got to say, love ya.
Ridin' away,
Royal Wade.
P.S. Your review

about. I'm sure this review will show up many more places, these are
just the one's I can think of off the top of my head."
