BILLY DON BURNS:........ .. I was born at home, no doctor, no circumcision. When I was growing up if I was with my mother I was in church everytime the doors were open. If I was with my father and we were not working I was learining how to drink whiskey, smoke cigarettes, cuss, chase skirts and always keep an eye out for the law. To my sweet, wonderful Mother and her family and my sorry ass brother the preacher, God was the law. To Dad and me the law wore a badge and gun and only brought bad news. My dad was my best friend he died in 1978. I have been playing my music in honkytonks since before I was old enough to be in them legally. I have performed from Honolulu to Berlin, from NYC to Toyko. I have seen the Aurora Borealis from both sides of the northern hemisphere . I ain't saying that I have as many miles on me as Willie or Earnest Tubb or Keith Richards cause that would be a God Damn lie. However, I am well traveled. I guess you could say a road scholar. ........ Likes: .... Rick Rubin who signed Johnny Cash because he didn't have a label. .... Sex, Drugs and Rock and Hoes .... Driving fast and Laying Low.... .... Dislikes: .... Rick Blackburn the piece of shit who was head of CBS Nashville and dropped Johnny Cash from the label. .... People who think that they are hot shit. .... Men over 20 who still live with their mother. Men over 50 who won't take care of their mother ........ Music:.... Please ........ I ain't trying to say that I am anything. The truth is I am the least of the least. My greatest moments that come to mind are: .... 1 The birth of my two children, Jesse James Burns and Natalie Ruth Burns.... 2 When Johnny Cash sent me a hand written letter of congratulations.... 3 Willie Nelson recording one of my songs .... 4 Getting the chance to produce Johnny Paycheck, Merle Haggard and Tanya Tucker .... 5 When Porter Wagoner introduced me on the Grand Ole Opry .... 6 When I was a guest on late night NYC raido with Joey Rheynolds and Les Paul called up and talked about my music, his music and what ever. .... 7 When Harlon Howard signed me as a staff writer with his publishing company .... 8 Getting a 4-star review from German writer Jorg Feyer in Rolling Stone Magazine .... 9 When my old friend The Late Great Mack Vickery called me up and asked if I would like to spend the weekend in Memphis with him and the killer Jerry Lee Lewis. .... 10 Hearing The Late Great Earnest Tubb introduce me to sing on his stage........

You’ve never seen a guitar stand like this one. Cooperstand addresses the typical stringed instrument support device in a completely new and non-typical way. It's extremely stable,opens and closes with one handand fits in the headstock area of most guitar cases. Cooperstand is a great choice for the performing musician looking for a  professional musical accessory that does an unsurpassed job as anacoustic guitar stand, electric guitar stand, bass guitar stand, banjo stand,dobro stand, or mandolin stand. Cooperstand combines artistic good looks, versatile full size functional strength, with minimal size compatibility, and portability. All of this in one very small package. Serious thought, experimentation, and intention has gone into the development of the innovative, highly functional Cooperstand. In addition to it's classy looks, it is surprisingly strong, plus it simply out performs the competition. Add all this to the fact that it is very attractive, and it fits inside most guitar cases or gigbags, and we have evolved into a whole new world of musical instrument support devices.

Superior Vocal Health. My name is David Aaron Katz. In addition to being a Cantor I have been singing opera, Broadway and popular music around the world for more than 20 years. Through career highs and lows, I have experienced firsthand, the trials of being a professional singer. As professionals we just cannot afford a bad performance. Like it or not, we must always be "on." Vocal health is the number one priority in our lives so it’s imperative we keep our throats and bodies in the best condition possible. But with flying, staying in strange hotels, often singing every night, along with everyday stresses, well, it just isn’t easy. Inevitably the body and voice break down. How many times have you been sick but said, “the show must go on”? It’s happened to all of us. After years of trying every possible remedy on the market with no success, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I studied hard, becoming a nutritional consultant and herbalist. Superior Vocal Health is the result of my years of extensive research and personal experience. I created Superior Vocal Health to give all voice professionals the best tools to care for their voices - naturally - no drugs, no chemicals. My formulas are designed to restore, rejuvenate, invigorate, and heal a myriad of vocal issues.

Dr. Ron M. Shefi D.C. Having been a mechanic since the age of twelve has allowed the author to become familiar with the mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic systems of every type of machine or heavy equipment. This knowledge, combined with fifteen years tenure as an orthopedic technician, made it clear to him that a new approach to healing was urgently needed. Feeling that a conventional medical school could not provide that approach, he chose to attend chiropractic school instead, because it provided the most extensive knowledge of the human body, the ultimate machine, with much emphasis on functional anatomy and functional physiology, at levels far beyond anything taught at medical schools. This knowledge, combined with constantly attending a never-ending string of seminars and the burning desire to improve the system have led the author on his quest to re-write medicine.

Health issues may be physical or non physical. Physical problems are tangible, and can be identified and evaluated using a variety of tools, such as blood tests, cultures, stool and urine analysis, radiography, MRI, CAT scan, palpation, orthopedic and neurological tests, and so on. When these tools do not provide an answer, many practitioners suggest that the problem is psychological and is in the patient s head. It is also not uncommon for the patient to be looked upon as being a hypochondriac. Many of those psychological or non-physical problems are of metaphysical origin.Metaphysical tools are much simpler to use, are part of our make-up, and with some training, are within everyone s grasp. They are not well known, are not widely accepted, and are looked upon with skepticism and suspicion.The scientific community considers all accounts of successful treatments and recovery outside of conventional medicine as purely anecdotal, because they are not backed up by a scientific, controlled, long-term, double blind study. These studies involve a group of patients who share similar symptoms. Similar symptoms can result from a variety of unrelated causes. With such a diverse etiology, no two patients who participate in such studies actually share similar problems, so in reality, they all test for different things. A wise doctor once said that it is better to be proactive for health than to be reactive to disease, and that an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure. Although more people turn to healthier diets and to exercise, the majority leaves their health entirely in the hands of their doctors. Many of the procedures performed as part of the annual medical check-up are traumatic and quite unpleasant, and can easily be replaced by alternative medicine. It is the intent of this book to introduce the concepts associated with that transition and the tools that are available for their implementation. It is not intended to take the place of the procedures used in treating trauma or critically ill patients, although the concepts and tools that are discussed in this text may speed up triage and enable the doctors, especially in trauma centers or the emergency rooms, to have a quick and accurate assessment of the patients, even when the patients are comatose.

Roy August in his own Words

"Fancy Free was a miracle to me. It was at a time when I was struggling and almost ready to give up and leave town. I had a lyric for the song, which I took to the Oak Ridge Boys’ office. At the time, Jimbeau was the manager. The Oaks were totally into Gospel then. I gave my four verses and a chorus to Jimbeau that day so long ago, and he said he’d co write it with me. He offered an equal split on the writer’s shares and the Oaks would get the publishing. It was a done deal. We worked on it until it was two verses and a chorus. Then it sat in a file for 8 years before it got recorded! When it did, it helped both of us. It jump-started Jimbeau and his legendary career, and helped me raise my family. It also was the Oak Ridge Boys’ first #1 hit!!  " IndieConnect dot com

"MY FIRST RECORD WAS RECORDED IN 1965 BY THE GALLAXYS . THAT WAS MY FIRST RECORDING BAND. LATER I CAME TO NASHVILLE , JIMMY HELMSLEY BROUGHT ME TO TOWN AND INTRODUCED ME TO THE WILBORNS , AS IN THE WILBORN BROTHERS, TEDDY AND DOYLE. I GOT A JOB,.... YOU KNOW, I HAD TO PAY THE BILLS AND EAT, I GOT A JOB AT A COMPANY HERE CALLED “MATTLOCK”, I WAS SHOOTING RIVETTS, I STOLE SOME ABSENT-TEE CARDS AND WAS WRITING ON THEM WHEN I COULD. I WAS WRITING ON ONE OF THE CARDS ABOUT THE TIME THEY WERE CLOSING UP ONE DAY AND THE GUARD KEPT HOLLERING AT ME TO GET OUT SO HE COULD TRUN THE LIGHTS OUT SO THEY COULD CLOSE. I SAID “OK AND I’LL BE SITTIN’ FANCY FREE.” THE SONG WAS PICKUPED UP BY THE OAKRIDGE BOYS AND ONLY A COUPLE LINES WERE CHANGED FORM WHAT I HAD WRITTEN IN THE ORIGINAL SONG. " Damn Good Tunes dot com

"Before I met the Wilburn brothers and wrote for their company, I met Chuck Glaser, of Tom Paul and the Glaser Brothers. Chuck Glaser taught me how to construct my songs. Chuck is a genius at songwriting. Roy Baham also taught me song construction. Later on I had help from so many music greats in the golden age of country music, such as Leslie, Teddy, Doyle and Lester Wilburn. They were really great to my family and I. Once they made me a key to their office, and I slept there until I found a daytime job at Davis Cabinet Co. Chuck Glaser taught me that a hit song is one that everybody can relate to. What you’re trying to get across has got to be crystal clear to anyone, in any walk of life. Leslie Wilburn taught me to put feeling into a song. Others taught me so much. Sammy Kahn taught me how to pattern, speed write and co-write with anyone, living or dead. Owen Bradley taught me the value of getting your craft right so the singers don’t stumble over the lyrics (a lesson I learned the hard way). Doyle Wilburn let me pitch songs one day when their song plugger, Johnny Russell, had the flu. So I learned how major label producers hear other peoples work. And Jimbeau Hinson taught me that its good karma to help others reach their dreams." "So many people taught me so much, and for that I am forever grateful. Jimbeau and I had three records together from Sure Fire Music, ‘Leave Me or Love Me Alone’ and two releases on life in Baltimore." IndieConnect dot com

Bobby Pizazz interviews Keith Sargent. Keith shares a miracle that took place; of a young man injured in a car accident, whose mother refused to believe what the doctors told her about her son's prognosis. 

Keith Sargent is a multi-talented singer/impressionist with a resume to match. He began singing at the age of two years old with his family’s Gospel group. Since that time, he has worked with some of the biggest names in show business and has appeared all over the world.  His smooth singing style and out-going personality make him a favorite where ever he performs. His impressions of some of the classic singers of the 60’s and 70’s leave people laughing and asking for more.

Born in Hastings, Nebraska and raised in the nearby small town of Sutton, Diane was the youngest of four children born to a former country school teacher and a popcorn farmer. She knew by the age of seven that she wanted to be a singer. When her older sister moved to Nashville, 14 year old Diane came for a visit and soon landed a recording contract with ABC Paramount. Her first record, "Come On and Dance With Me," was produced by Felton Jarvis, who later produced Elvis. Diane appeared in Alabama's video, "Touch Me When We're Dancing" and the Hank Williams Jr. video, "We Are Young Country." She was in a comedy skit with The Statler Brothers on the nationally televised Music City News Country Music Awards in the late 80s. Other television credits include TNN's "Nashville Now" and “Wrap Around Nashville" and the syndicated "Pop Goes the Country" and "That Nashville Music." She was featured for a year on the Louisville based syndicated "Music Place” hosted by Grand Ole Opry's Stu Phillips. Diane was a frequent guest on WSMV-TV's "The Ralph Emery Show" (then the highest rated local morning show in the US), even donning a swimsuit to serve as the program's Outhouse Queen, presiding for three years over its infamous outhouse races. She was featured in a 1977 documentary film, "That's Country," which was narrated by veteran TV actor, Lorne Greene, with whom she attended the movie's premiere in Halifax, Nova Scotia. In November of 2002, "Monster and the Stripper," a late 60s cult classic movie in which Diane played a chorine, was shown at the Nashville Independent Film Festival. She has done some modeling and commercial work for Lingerie Lady, Barber King Hair Cutters, and Joker Poker as well as jingles, including a duet for Schlitz Malt Liquor with Faron Young. Diane is now concentrating on songwriting.

Keeli's predominately Irish and Cherokee Indian heritage explain how she came to posses such a unique and enchanting musical style. Her lifting voice has a natural Celtic sound yet she offers something refreshingly new and different from traditional Irish music. Her lyrics tell provocative tales of life. Her life, lives that have touched her and life as she observes it. From her perspective, every tale has a positive message. The light at the end of the tunnel, the cloud with the silver lining and the pot of gold at the end of every rainbow, are the rewards she claims to reap every time she creates a new song.  "I live it, then I write it. It's the only way I know to channel my emotions. I don't feel as though I am writing the song but that it is written through me.  I always feel reborn after each new song." She sings each song with the passion in which it was conceived, taking her audience on an escapade where every avenue explores a new emotion.

Kurt Fortmeyer was born in a barn and raised in a stable environment, or so he might tell an unwitting listener in one of his sillier moments. His life was changed irreparably at a tender and impressionable age when he was subjected to Roger Miller’s “Do-Wacka-Do”, as well as recordings of Allan Sherman, Chubby Checker, and Trini Lopez. When he’s not performing his original tunes at writers’ nights around Nashville, Kurt can often be heard performing songs by other singer-songwriters such as Robert Earl Keen, Tom Russell, Guy Clark, Darden Smith, and Butch Hancock. Kurt has shared the stage with Grammy-winning songwriters Steve Leslie and R.L. Castleman. and Hall Of Fame songwriters Don Wayne and Jimmy Payne. He has opened shows for a good number of artists including Livingston Taylor, Emmylou Harris, and Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver. As at home in front of a microphone as he is on a front porch, Kurt plays real music, by, for, and about real people. Amen.

Bobby Pizazz his music speaks for itself!

"Hi, I'm Bobby Pizazz, Regardless of what country you are from, what your core belief system is made up of, your status or position in life, the Laws of the Universe apply equally to every Man, Women and Child. Equality for All Mankind is on the RISE!!!"

"Every author should weigh his work and ask, 'Will humanity gain any benefit from it?.' " -- Nachman of Bratslav

"Bobby’s sound, deceptively mellow, seduces the listener into an accepting and peaceful mood. These ... lyrics feel non-threatening to the relaxed listener and find a home deep in the psyche. Never once do you feel like resisting his message. It just feels so good it has to be the right thing to do." "Bobby Pizazz has lots of other music and if you want to treat yourself to a relaxing and healing mini-vacation visit his web sites to hear and feel more of this passionate and accomplished musician." Posted by Liz on the Willie Nelson Peace Research Web Site. Check out Willie Nelson Peace Research Institute   Thank You

“I have song in my soul, I have a story that that must be told. As I write these songs I tell of life, and if you listen close, you will see, that this is not just my song, but ours in joy and strife. I’m a Music Story Teller a Song Man.”

Nashville singer/songwriter Bobby Pizazz and his band, RhythmTrain, offer a variety of original tunage, with writing influences as varied as Hank Williams, Jim Croce and Earth Wind & Fire.

"Sarah Tollerson reminded me of a young, extremely happy, Joni Mitchell. Sarah has the unique ability to exude simultaneous cheer and cynicism in the same song. In an industry that dishes out more of the latter, this is a girl to whom I have a feeling it just won't matter. She'll keep on getting better and better and writing the songs with which her fan base connects."  -Cindy Lou Harrington, President, Georgia Music Industry Association (2001-2004)

If there’s one thing to be said about this songbird, it’s her ability to work a crowd. "Her song 'Natural Star' says it all... when Sarah is on stage, she grabs the attention and respect of everyone in the audience with her catchy riffs and lyrical stories,” says Athens Open Mic representative Alec Wooden. She already has a great fan base that just keeps growing. “I love my fans,” says Sarah, “they’re crazy, they’re loud, and they sing along.”

Brandon Maddox started playing guitar at the age of eleven, teaching himself from an old classical guitar with a crack in it from his grandfather's old tool shed. His early influences were the Beatles, CCR, and many other bands from the 60s. As a late teenager, Brandon, got into Led Zepplin, Ralph Stanley and the Clinch Mountain Boys, and finally became a fan of Country by hearing Brad Paisley on the Grand Ole Opry one night.

Brandon moved to Nashville in 2007, and within six months of being in Nashville, had a deal on the table with a publishing company and had already had two single song agreements with a different publishing company. Being all about great songs, Brandon tries to capture the Country flavor with great melodies that echo the Beatles, Beach Boys, and old school rock in many of his songs as well as his Bluegrass influences on some of his originals. On different occasions, Maddox has done radio interviews with personalities such as T.J. Kirby of radiofreenashville.org, and had his songs played on internet radio stations such as musictogousa.com and others. He currently is a signed writer at Artist Development Network and has a single song agreement with Studio 33.

Jamie has performed in Broadway shows in New York City and Florida, and has won numerous awards for her ability to create original lyrics and breath life into a song.

"THE GRAND POOBAH is one of the greatest songwriters and entertainers that I've ever known... and he's yet to be discovered by the rest of the world. Although You may not recognize the name Poobah, his name is well known amongst the Legends"...

-Willie Nelson

Don Mealer  There is so much that can be said about the man called "PooBah". If you're looking for the typical, cookie-cutter sounds of modern country radio with their meaningless lyrics and over-priced production - you're not going to find it here.

PooBah sings what he writes - And what he writes is Real Life. Poobah has not sold out, nor has he played the "Game." In his music, you'll find brutal truth....whether good or bad.

His current single "Everybody Sang," was written on the side of the road, after leaving the funeral ceremony of longtime friend, Johnny Cash.

One thing is for certain: Poobah is one of our Country's Most Genuine talents, and his music will be around long after he is not.
