"Stacy, way to go! You have
definitely found your niche!...If country has a watchdog, it's
journalist Stacy Harris, whose country version of *The Drudge Report*
challenges industry brokers 'to uphold standards of accountability,
credibility, integrity, and conscience.' The site eschews gossip for
insider's reports... and informed opinion."

*Entertainment Weekly* and *Stereo Review,* Louisville, Kentucky

EILEEN SISK:
"Just checked out your report. So
much more news than in others I've seen. You keep kickin' butt with old
Mike, too. I had to let my MCN subscription go ages ago. It is so
riddled with errors it is pitiful. Hard for real journalists to
stomach. All that chocolatey stuff ain't too good for the stomach. Keep
up the good work!"

(HarperCollinsWest, 1995), Bena, Virginia

NEW JERSEY NETWORK:
"Hello, Stacy. I was wondering if you
may know where Jimmy Velvet is these days...I played a few shows with
him in the 60s... NJN or the New Jersey Network, or, New Jersey Public
Television is the four-station PBS network that serves New Jersey. We
have a nightly newscast, and I run the department....I played bass with
a band called the Velaires in the 60s. The band went country and became
The Younger Brothers...Thanks for the CMF tip."
-BILL JOBES, New Jersey Network

7, 1998

industry [professional, "Stacy's Music Row Report"] offers...an
insider's look at the country music biz. It's nice to see a member of
the community spending so much time and energy providing a service."
-JOEL MOSES, The Nashville Scene, May
29, 1997
JONATHON JACKSON:
"Just found your Music Row Report and
I think it's great! I'm a Canadian journalist who visited Nashville in
October and had my own "wonderful" experience with the powers-that-be.
I had a job interview at *Country Weekly* that was interrupted by an
extremely rude publicist... who launched a profanity-laced tirade at
the editor because the magazine hadn't yet done a feature on her
artist... She took up 45 minutes of my time and the editor let it
happen! I left his office so disillusioned. I know publicists are
supposed to be somewhat pushy but that was ridiculous, and I was
appalled that the editor would have kissed her ass like he did... Keep
up the good work, Stacy!" -JONATHON JACKSON, Owen Sound, Ontario,
Canada
MY KIND OF COUNTRY:
"Wanna know who's where, doin' what

journalism program in college to become a full-time professional
country musician. Twenty years later, I'm back in journalism -
interviewing the stars and reviewing the shows and records and having a
great time. It's good to see other commentators out there who know that
there's more to Country Music than just the current Top-40 charts and
those embarassing beauty-pageant "music" awards shows. I'll be checking
in on your column from time to time, so keep up the good work."

about speaking to Charley Pride, but if you know of any other musicians
who would be good talkers and wouldn’t mind coming on the programme
then please let me know. I hope you don’t mind me contacting you- but
you seem to know it all!... Thanks for your time."
