My Boy Dalton can change your life; if you're not on his
regular list, you should be. It's not quite like sitting in the front
room playing guitars with him, but this site is a close substitute:

| Erin Hay is a great singer and a good person; she also is doing some really
important stuff, as you can find out at: http://www.erinhay.com/welcome.htm |

Some fun
folks show up in my guestbook; John Williams of the Netherlands is
pretty much in a class of his own!

Billy
McCoy is a regular on Lonnie's Country Music Blackboard; you can check
out his excellent music at
http://cdbaby.com/billymccoy
|
| Dick Shuey has a LONG history with country music and his TwangtownUSA
message board could conceivably earn him a slot in the Hall Of Fame down
the road. It's a trial-and-effort endeavor but he's shot from the heart
every step; checking in at TWANGTOWN is a basic. http://www.bananatech.com/twboard/index.htm |
| Mickey Newbury departed this life in '02, but those of us devoted to his
music consider him a continuing force. The basics of that collective devotion
can be discerned at: http://mickeynewbury.com/bio.htm |
| Patsi Bale Cox is a Nashville media colleague of considerable tenure;
her site is a combination of what she does and a guidebook to the diversity
of her friends and heroes. http://www.pbc-country-books.com/main.html |
|
IFCO -- what can we say? Well, we could say International Fan Club Organization,
but you probably know the acronym if you've gotten this far. |

Roxanne
Beck is a longtime friend in West Hollywood whose various voices are
probably familiar to your children; among other things, she does
animated voice overs!!

| Lola
Scobey used to help me cover the Nashville situation for PERFORMANCE: take a
look at what she does these days. http://www.babygotosleep.com/ |
| The Illinois Country Music Association is headed by a real deal
hillbilly named Ray Prince, and those folks are busier than beavers!! www.ICMA2002.com |
| Alice C. Bateman has a slew of websites, but this is a good introduction
to my Calgary pal. http://alicecbateman.com/ |
| Lonnie Ratliff maintains a cool message board that has become an ongoing song critique forum, and it's wide open -- no passwords -- as long as you note the types of messages not welcome. http://www.eboards4all.com/068926/ |
| Buster Doss's board is similar but open to playlists and such; there's
also a link to Jamboree By The Lake. http://members.boardhost.com/StardustRecords/ |
| Hal Willis has a fun board; a Yankee geezer and a French alligator
farmer make for interesting activities. http://www.eboards4all.com/727189/index.html |
| The Nashville Folk Festival has become an integral element in the
development of Mail Train as a band; invite us to dinner and we'll tell you
the story. Don't make it a work night!! http://www.questx.com/festival/ |
| Ole Dugg Collins put me onto the Walnut River String Band; if you want
to promote your musical endeavor regionally, watch how these folks do it.
And don't forget to listen to the music -- they'll sell you a couple of CDs
that are loads of fun. http://shorock.com/folk/wrsb/ |
| And you should hang out with Dugg a while, too; wow, what stories HE can
tell!! http://www.duggcollins.com/ |
| Patti McKinnon and I have essentially been doing the same thing
musically for fifty years -- she just happens to have been in Australia all
that time!! http://www.countryragepage.com/pattimckin.htm |
| Songwriters who don't know these folks should check them out: www.songwritersfestival.com http://www.justplainfolks.org/cgi-bin/Ultimate.cgi http://writersblock.proboards1.com/index.cgi http://www.tunesmith.net/ |
| Ruthie Steele and her kid brother have been part of the Nasvhille scene
since not long after I moved here. Well, Ole Max D. sure did chisel his
presence in stone, so to speak, and Ruthie continues to write touching songs
and to help others whenever she can. Tell her Uncle Willam said hello!! http://members.aol.com/_ht_a/ruanst/myhomepage/ http://www.chisholmtrailmusic.net/Page2.html |
