Stacey Kostes Update
I hope everyone
is calling and emailing to request Stacey on WSM 650. For those who don't
know, this radio station is THE country music station of the Grand Ole Opry!!
How amazing will it be to hear Stacey on such an historic station!?!
I just wanted to let everyone know that I received an email from the studio
address at WSM thanking me for my support (and TONS of email requests for
Stacey!!) of country music and WSM. So keep those emails and calls going
out. We ARE being heard!!
Also, if any of you are on other artists' websites on the big ole "web",
start posting about Stacey and her music. It's a great way to get Stacey's
name out to the country music fans so that when people hear her on the radio
they already know a little about her. I've had great feedback from some of
the websites I've posted on recently.
Let's keep this ball rolling everyone! You guys have been with us from the
start and this is what we've all been praying for!
KEEP BELIEVING,
Tami Olin

Message From Stacey Kostes
Greetings from Nashville!
I've got some great news! I just got off the phone with Rhonda,
my publicist, and she just spoke to Hairl Hensley at WSM AM
here in Nashville and they said YES, they will play one of my
songs...they're keeping us in suspense as to which song...but
he promised her that they would play it next week!
Wow...
I'm overwhelmed...
Let's get started calling now...and often!!!!
Don't break the bank on your phone bills, because I know it is
long distance, but the number is
(615) 737-9650 and the e-mail
is studio@wsm650.com . I think the phone calls get more
response but I think we can do both and get our message
across!
Thank you so much for your support! I could never have done
this without all of your help!
And when I hear the song on the radio, I will e-mail y'all as soon
as I recover from fainting!!!
Love,
Stacey

GOES BACK HOME
Wynonna Judd
is back home in Ashland, Ky., this week for a concert to mark the re-opening
of the newly renovated Para- mount Arts Center. According to Cathie Shaffer,
writing in the (Ashland) Daily Independent, Judd often reminisces about her
early appearances at the Paramount.
"I was 8 years old,"
she tells the reporter.
" ... and we were doing the
can-can." She
remembers that somehow she got out of line and when the curtain fell, she
was outside of it. Proceeds from Judd's hometown concert will go to help
keep the old Para- mount going. By the way,
Judd
will also be a part of the
pre-game pro-America concert
prior to the Feb. 3 Super Bowl.
She will join Paul McCartney, Yolanda Adams, James Ingram, Patti LaBelle and
Barry Manilow, among others.

Stacey Kostes Update!
Hi friends!
I have some good news! I'm working with a publicist, who works at CMT, and
she has contacts at some radio stations. Below is a copy of her e-mail that
has gone out to "her people" in the music business.
Here are a few notes first to fill you in...When I sent promotion packages
to the radio stations, my letter to the radio station people included a
message, letting them know that
my fans were strong and supportive!
So the stations listed below, now have the music and need to be
"encouraged"
to play it! If you have a minute, read the following letter, and get the
numbers you need to call these stations and request my music. We have been
strongly promoting "Let Go of
the Ghost" and
"It's a Girl Thing".
But the main thing is to call and request Stacey Kostes, and then if you
want to, request one of those songs.
Thank you for all you've done in the past to support my music and let's hope
we can organize a call-in campaign that will bring us to the next level. I
know we can make it happen...maybe it's just a girl thing!!!
Love,
Stacey

Gaylord Entertainment Battle
Country stars,
Gaylord battle over WSM switch By Phil Sweetland
The Nashville City Paper
The debate over the future of WSM-AM and The Grand Ole Opry went on atfever
pitch over the weekend. On one side, Gaylord Entertainment president and CEO
Colin Reed, whose firm owns WSM-AM, the Opry, and two other radio stations
in Nashville, said that Gaylord feels The Opry is a precious commodity his
organization hopes to expose to a wider, nationwide audience through
network syndication. In the opposite camp country artists such as Loretta
Lynn strongly opposed Gaylord's proposed format changes at WSM-AM and the
likely removal of The Opry from the station that has been its radio home
since 1925.
"This is my opinion,"
Lynn said.
"The Grand Ole Opry is the mother of country music. I believe they (Gaylord)
are trying to get rid of county music. But it'll take more than the owners
of WSM to kill country music. "Country music is bigger than them
'cause the ones who've sung on the Opry never knew they made it big until
they did so," said
Lynn, an Opry member since 1962 and a member of the Country Music Hall of
Fame since 1988. "All the members of The Grand Ole Opry . . . we all knew
this was coming."
Reed took over the struggling Gaylord Entertainment in May 2001 after
serving as chief financial officer for Memphis-based Harrah's Hotels. He
earlier worked 15 years in the United Kingdom running Holiday Inn's
operations in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
"Well, I really don't
know how to react to (Loretta Lynn's statement) because that's completely
and utterly not the case," said Reed. "One of the reasons we
started to look at this whole issue was because of a notion we have
that we think the Grand Ole Opry is, in fact, very, very precious.
I got this from loretta lynn list. mary
