Dear Mike,
It’s hard to believe that August is right around the corner! Our CD, “Made Of Stars” has done really well on radio and press over the last few months. I’ve received emails from people all over the world who have ordered it and told me how much they’ve enjoyed it.
They would have never heard it had it not been for you and other stations! So I want to thank you once again!. The DJ’s who are allowed to select what’s played on the air, go far beyond the call of duty to get unknown music heard. It’s quite an effort to wade through piles of CD’s to find one that’s special but it’s a real service you perform for the public.
Since the 70’s I created my own Americana sound and chose not to be commercial or to court major labels. I don’t do this to make a lot of money. It’s really for the love and I’m so appreciative that you took the time to listen (and best of all spin the CD).
As a result of radio play,I’ve received emails from people I don't know, mainly travelers and musicians, who live or used to live in New Orleans and who heard my song, “Lake Pontchartrain”. Most said they wept with both sadness and joy when they heard it because it expressed what they felt when they first crossed that bridge going back home or visiting New Orleans after Katrina. One said, “I wanted to get past the hate and despair (of Katrina) and your song (Lake Pontchartrain) took me where I needed to go next inside my heart.”
“Boys In The Cornfield”, a song about the Civil War, is another song that received a lot of responses. They felt it “vivid and chilling as it speaks to today’s generation”. “Mercy”, “Mentone” and “Mattie” and the covers were favorites but “Beautiful Ride” and “Made Of Stars” were the other two songs that seemed to touch people deeply. For Beautiful Ride, one said, “…finally a love song that’s mature and real”.
This is all because of you!!
Thank you so much!

“Ever since I began working with RB Renegade on “The My Country Radio Show” on NBRN.FM, the sales of my book “Who Wants To Be A Country Music Star” have increased”
"We're breaking out the champagne here at the lake tonight. "WHO WANTS TO BE A COUNTRY MUSIC STAR" has jumped back into the amazon.com top thirty list at #28....and also returned to the barnesandnoble.com top one-hundred list at #84. This out of some two thousand & fifteen hundred books they chart on the music industry respectively. I'm doing lots of promotion in a lot of different areas, but I have to think that "MY COUNTRY" and your efforts are playing a large role" ... Sam L. Wellington

Great listening, brings back memories, we
