Today a DJ on WXTU in Philly played a snip of Wayne The Train Hancock
He couldn't play the whole thing since they didn't have it on the play
list.
We called and jumped on it.
They were confused since they never heard of it "Americana Music"
They said we could come in and talk to the program
Here are the current lists of planned label and other showcases, and
artists
that have responded positively to our invitations. We expect eventually
to
invite around 800 acts to SXSW '99, and we'll update these lists at
least
every week.
Showcases
Antone's Records, ASCAP, The Billions
GREENBAY WISCONSIN BOOKING INTEREST
Hello,
My name is Marc Mencher. I am booking Oneida Casino's, in Greenbay
Wisconsin,
Monday Tuesday night performance series (52 shows total) beginning the
first
Monday in April, 4/5. I am interested in booking all genres with one
requirement; the act
Oh!
Well F#%k them!
I already have a rep for Knee jerk! I have a real problem with Anyone
making a Killing on the Americana Artists!
Its okay to all share the wealth, but to exploit the guys that are
starving on the road every day. I really hate when some folks live real
well on Americana!
The people who started college this year were born in 1980.
They have no meaningful recollection of the Reagan era and
did not know he had ever been shot.
They were prepubescent when the Persian Gulf War was waged.
Black Monday 1987 is as significant to them as the Great
Depression.
We aren't experiencing the same thing with swing. The crowd just doesn't
stay as late but they drink more than water!
White Shirt big hit with listeners!
WDVR and Thursday night Swing Night at the Holiday INN in Clinton NJ.

Did any one notice that David doesn't care that one of the best songs on
the album is not going to get air play on most radio stations since he's
not creative enough to not use F#%k!
