Billy Nathan
BonTex Records recording artist
Billy was born in the state of Louisiana, but has been calling Nashville, Tennessee his home for over 20 years. He moved to Nashville in the '70's with the same dream as thousands of other singer/songwriters. Billy wasn't in Music City USA long before he recorded his first CD entitled, "ON MY OWN AGAIN". This album received rave reviews by all the Nashville insiders. The review board of BonTex Records as recent as June, 1999 reviewed the album and thought so much of it's total content that they decided to re-release it under their label. The album is available on the BonTex label on Billy's web site. The president of BonTex Records said, "I have never heard a country album that was any better than Billy Nathan's "ON MY OWN AGAIN". The only problem we are going to have is trying to decide which of the 10 songs we should release as a single first. Every song on the album is a potential smash hit." Billy is the only writer of 5 of the songs and co-writer on the other 5 with his good friend, David Johnson. WOW!!! What an entertainer. And even more impressive-What a nice human being.

Kaitlin certainly sings some great songs; "Why Haven't I Heard From You", "Go Away", "Your Cheatin' Heart". Visit Kaitlin's web site to listen. In Kaitlin's own words, "I created my first CD when I was 12 years old. It was around mid 1998, and I was able to pull it off with the help of "Farmer" Dave Grimes. He had a friend by the name of Ron "Fritz" Brading, who has a recording area in his house. It wasn't what most of you are thinking, it wasn't a sound proof booth. He had a microphone that picked up just my voice, so there was no outside interference, which ended up with a very clear sound. To get my CD up and running of course you need people that know what they are doing. So we hired some people. My mom (Deanne Corrie) produced it. But it was recorded and mixed by Ron Brading. The CD was entitled " First Time Around " which was thought up by my dad (Kenneth Corrie) So as you see there was a lot of family influence on my CD."

She would climb so close to the top that when the wind would blow it would sway her back and fourth as if keeping time with her when she sang.

As you try to market your talent as
a country entertainer on line, identify your target market.
A target market is made up of the people that you hope to appeal to. Most online
country entertainers focus on only country music fans. I know it makes since to
all Independent Country Entertainers to not to try to make fans out of non
country music lovers. 1000's of Independent Country Entertainers are on line, so
you must present yourself in a way a potential fan will notice you over your
competition. Let your potential fans know you are genuinely interested in
satisfying all of your fans' desires as you still remain true to yourself. Start
thinking about how you'll convey this information to your potential fans. You
are in a creative business, so start using some creative brain cells in
marketing. You might, for example, ask a cross section of visitors to your web
site questions like, "Would you like me to sing more ballads or upbeat
songs?" Fans will normally give you great ideas. Remember your fans are
your most valuable asset.

Important New
domain
By: Jerry Mac
Hello to everyone that
is use to visiting gaylordentertainment.net. The whole operation has moved to a
new domain, countrymusicplanet.com,
and everyone associated is real excited about it. Even though I don't agree,
some others claim that the old address was confusing because of the fact that
there is, also, a gaylordentertainment.com. So to make a few other people happy,
we decided to get a new domain.
We changed our name from Planet Earth Music Group to The Country
Music Planet, and got another domain, countrymusicplanet.com
Those of you who have been visiting our old domain make sure you visit our new
domain with all it's updates. the old domain will stay there for a while, but it
will include no new updates, because we are in the process of phasing it out as
far as using it in the manner in which we have been using it. Eventually, we
will, more than likely, be using the old domain primarily to store music files
that we will be linking to from our new domain. The Country Music Planet is
exactly what the name says. It is a virtual planet filled with country
music.
Country music lives on the planet. All e-mail being sent to anyone
at the old domain should now be sent by simply changing the part of the e-mail
that says gaylordentertainment.net to countrymusicplanet.com.
The Country Music Planet is a very informative and
interesting web site for anyone connected with or interested in country music.
It is the home of "Inside
Nashville Jukebox", "Inside
Nashville Country Music Radio Show", "The
Cd Planet", "Sheet Music & More", "Inside Nashville
Songwriters Association", "Young Guns Of Country Music",
"Jerry Mac Enterprises", "Web Sites For The Singer", "Bontex
Records" "Memphis Country Records" (Mcr), "Jms
Advertising", plus many more country music related sites.
It is the gateway to many country music newsletters including this
one. It is, also, the home of many country entertainers. All of these
informative and interesting sites can be accessed by going to The
Country Music Planet . We extend a special invitation to all Independent
Country Entertainers & all country music fans to come visit the planet and
to e-mail us if we can
answer any questions or be of any service whatsoever.

Victor
Sanz
By Alli Richards
Vic is from Bakersfield, CA and is very talented. Check him out at victorsanz.com. He is featured in the August 8 issue of Country Weekly (with the Dixie Chicks on the cover) in the new artist section. a little side note.... I'm sure if you are familiar with Victor, chances are, you are familiar with more Bakersfield music including the of the Smokin' Armadillos, so you may know me from their web site. I am VERY excited about the opportunity to be doing Victor's web site along with one of my best friends, Alanna Horner, and in the coming months we hope we have a lot to report on this talented young artist! I had the chance to meet Victor back in March while I was working at the Country Radio Seminar and I must say, he is a very nice young man and I hope he goes far.
Victor recently returned from Dallas, TX where he shot his video for his upcoming single, "Destination Unknown," which you can look for to be on CMT and GAC sometime hopefully by late July!
Myra Pearce
Here is a good looking
woman that can really sing. Myra's "Lets Put Love Back to
Work". is the featured background song for this page. from the album "Somebody
Loves you", on Almar Records.
Myra brims over with life and
so does her music. Not incidental to the fact is that she lives in the
wild, open spaces of Montana. Where Myra has put down roots that go to the
very core of her soul.
On a ranch that sprawls across the primordial landscape, she raises her family, rides her horses, embraces nature and the vagaries of each day — and writes and sings her music.
Her music reflects all that is Myra. Rich, vibrant and full — her talent, her voice and her passion resonate in her personality, as well as her music.
Born and raised in Eastern
Washington, Myra came to Montana via Nashville. As it does to so many
young musicians, Nashville tugged at Myra as a youngster who never envisioned
herself as being anything other than a singer. At the age of eight she was
performing before the mirror using her hair brush as a microphone, pretending to
be Patsy Cline in concert.
