Superior Vocal Health. My name is David Aaron Katz. In addition to being a Cantor I have been singing opera, Broadway and popular music around the world for more than 20 years. Through career highs and lows, I have experienced firsthand, the trials of being a professional singer. As professionals we just cannot afford a bad performance. Like it or not, we must always be "on." Vocal health is the number one priority in our lives so it’s imperative we keep our throats and bodies in the best condition possible. But with flying, staying in strange hotels, often singing every night, along with everyday stresses, well, it just isn’t easy. Inevitably the body and voice break down. How many times have you been sick but said, “the show must go on”? It’s happened to all of us. After years of trying every possible remedy on the market with no success, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I studied hard, becoming a nutritional consultant and herbalist. Superior Vocal Health is the result of my years of extensive research and personal experience. I created Superior Vocal Health to give all voice professionals the best tools to care for their voices - naturally - no drugs, no chemicals. My formulas are designed to restore, rejuvenate, invigorate, and heal a myriad of vocal issues.

SPECIAL GUEST NIGHT

You Won't want to miss this show.. here is the Big Surprise...

"THE GRAND POOBAH is one of the greatest songwriters and entertainers that I've ever known... and he's yet to be discovered by the rest of the world. Although You may not recognize the name Poobah, his name is well known amongst the Legends"...

-Willie Nelson

Bio: Don Mealer

There is so much that can be said about the man called "PooBah". If you're looking for the typical, cookie-cutter sounds of modern country radio with their meaningless lyrics and over-priced production - you're not going to find it here.

PooBah sings what he writes - And what he writes is Real Life. Poobah has not sold out, nor has he played the "Game." In his music, you'll find brutal truth....whether good or bad.

His current single "Everybody Sang," was written on the side of the road, after leaving the funeral ceremony of longtime friend, Johnny Cash.

One thing is for certain: Poobah is one of our Country's Most Genuine talents, and his music will be around long after he is not.

JD Smith

A wonderer alone, on an Ole’ Lonesome Road, at 4 years old he was beat within an inch of his life by a step father who never had a good thing to say about anything or anybody, it was at that time his Papaw with a Shotgun in the truck went to his house and took him out of that bad home and into a home filled with love and kindness, it was there with his Mamaw and Papaw that he discovered the wonder of music. There was music at church, and in the living room of that little old trailer they called home. Born in Sunnyslope, Arizona in the summer of 1964, soon settling in to the small border town of Yuma, just south of Telegraph Pass and Southeast of the Kofa Mountains. Yuma was a great place to grow up as a kid; there was the desert, filled with its magic. Many a day was spent chasing Rattle Snakes and Gila Monsters, or in a few instances getting chased by them. His Papaw played a 68 model Martin D-28, although a prized possession, his Papaw never mentioned a word about his getting it out to play. By 8 years old there had been many chances to hear live music, many times the events of the day would come to the Old Yuma Union High School, one such time, Porter Wagoner, Jim Ed Brown and Dolly Parton with Spec Rose made an appearance in the fall of 1972, JD sat on the edge of that old stage while the artist signed autographs after the show, Dolly Parton signed a picture and gave it to him, and then they played faded love, Dolly made a cheerful little comment about growing up and coming to Nashville and looking her up, he never did, but it was a memory he always enjoyed. The years passed and many fiddlers contest and summer bluegrass festivals came and went, in the summer of 1978 he moved to Prescott, AZ with his mother, and the move was bitter sweet, he was relived his mother was away from the man who had caused her so much grief in her life, but it was his direction which caused him so much despair. He became involved in drugs and drinking and soon his grades slipped, he found himself drawn to the lonely country sounds of the western bands playing on Whisky Row. White Buffalo and Rod Heart were regulars and sometimes they would let him play a song or two, he had a job in the Palace Barber shop shining shoes and spending his money as fast as he made it in the bars and honky Tonks watching the bands play. School was a faded memory he struck off on his own, playing music in little dives in Phoenix, and Apache Junction, AZ he finally made his way to the band “DEPARTURE” short lived they made many appearances on the local circuit. Hammer Heads, The Mason Jar, Rockers, etc.etc.etc….. Not until he sat in with a small band playing at Mr. Lucky’s off of Grand Ave did he really find his place in the music world. He felt the bright lights and the sounds of a live steel guitar playing for him. Like a fish on the end of a line he was hooked. Soon after he was invited to record at Pantheon Studio’s, the sessions were his first and the experience taught him many lessons. As time went on he played for several bands, some road bands, and some house bands. In 1991 came a little girl, he placed his desire to play music on the back burner to raise his daughter as a single dad. There were times he played with local bands and he filled in many times for a short tour band, but not until his daughter was raised did he consider making music his fulltime project. Danny Gatton in Maryland was a friend and always told him he would know when the time was right to” Hit it hard” as he would say. Over the years he has rode motorcycles, been in and out of trouble for fighting and drinking, always a loyal friend, if you were to find yourself in the pokey, he would not bail your !@#$%^&* out, because he would be sitting next to you. He considers Suitcase Red, Billy Joe Shaver, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, Jimmy Rodgers, and James Elvin Smith as his Hero’s. In today’s Country the phrase Outlaw Country is tossed around like an old Boot. 30 seconds after you see JD hit the stage you will know what Outlaw Country is all about. The sound, the look, the feel, its right out of 1978

Keeli's predominately Irish and Cherokee Indian heritage explain how she came to posses such a unique and enchanting musical style. Her lifting voice has a natural Celtic sound yet she offers something refreshingly new and different from traditional Irish music. Her lyrics tell provocative tales of life. Her life, lives that have touched her and life as she observes it. From her perspective, every tale has a positive message. The light at the end of the tunnel, the cloud with the silver lining and the pot of gold at the end of every rainbow, are the rewards she claims to reap every time she creates a new song.  "I live it, then I write it. It's the only way I know to channel my emotions. I don't feel as though I am writing the song but that it is written through me.  I always feel reborn after each new song." She sings each song with the passion in which it was conceived, taking her audience on an escapade where every avenue explores a new emotion.

BILLY DON BURNS:........ .. I was born at home, no doctor, no circumcision. When I was growing up if I was with my mother I was in church everytime the doors were open. If I was with my father and we were not working I was learining how to drink whiskey, smoke cigarettes, cuss, chase skirts and always keep an eye out for the law. To my sweet, wonderful Mother and her family and my sorry ass brother the preacher, God was the law. To Dad and me the law wore a badge and gun and only brought bad news. My dad was my best friend he died in 1978. I have been playing my music in honkytonks since before I was old enough to be in them legally. I have performed from Honolulu to Berlin, from NYC to Toyko. I have seen the Aurora Borealis from both sides of the northern hemisphere . I ain't saying that I have as many miles on me as Willie or Earnest Tubb or Keith Richards cause that would be a God Damn lie. However, I am well traveled. I guess you could say a road scholar. ........ Likes: .... Rick Rubin who signed Johnny Cash because he didn't have a label. .... Sex, Drugs and Rock and Hoes .... Driving fast and Laying Low.... .... Dislikes: .... Rick Blackburn the piece of shit who was head of CBS Nashville and dropped Johnny Cash from the label. .... People who think that they are hot shit. .... Men over 20 who still live with their mother. Men over 50 who won't take care of their mother ........ Music:.... Please ........ I ain't trying to say that I am anything. The truth is I am the least of the least. My greatest moments that come to mind are: .... 1 The birth of my two children, Jesse James Burns and Natalie Ruth Burns.... 2 When Johnny Cash sent me a hand written letter of congratulations.... 3 Willie Nelson recording one of my songs .... 4 Getting the chance to produce Johnny Paycheck, Merle Haggard and Tanya Tucker .... 5 When Porter Wagoner introduced me on the Grand Ole Opry .... 6 When I was a guest on late night NYC raido with Joey Rheynolds and Les Paul called up and talked about my music, his music and what ever. .... 7 When Harlon Howard signed me as a staff writer with his publishing company .... 8 Getting a 4-star review from German writer Jorg Feyer in Rolling Stone Magazine .... 9 When my old friend The Late Great Mack Vickery called me up and asked if I would like to spend the weekend in Memphis with him and the killer Jerry Lee Lewis. .... 10 Hearing The Late Great Earnest Tubb introduce me to sing on his stage........

You’ve never seen a guitar stand like this one. Cooperstand addresses the typical stringed instrument support device in a completely new and non-typical way. It's extremely stable,opens and closes with one handand fits in the headstock area of most guitar cases. Cooperstand is a great choice for the performing musician looking for a  professional musical accessory that does an unsurpassed job as anacoustic guitar stand, electric guitar stand, bass guitar stand, banjo stand,dobro stand, or mandolin stand. Cooperstand combines artistic good looks, versatile full size functional strength, with minimal size compatibility, and portability.

Over the decades, Sam has performed from coast to coast, as far north as ski slopes of New England and as far south as the blue waters of the Carribean, in many styles and genres. As a resident of Nashville, TN, he often performs in songwriter settings there. As a vocalist, guitarist and bass player, Sam started performing professionally in the late 1960's. While still in Richmond, Sam played guitar behind both singer/songwriters Cleve Francis (also an accomplished producer/artist) and the late great Steve Yudowich from 1970 to 1971. After moving to New Jersey at the beginning of 1972, he performed (in chronological order) as a soloist and as a member of bands such as SOUTHBOUND, BONE DRY, TRICK ZIPPER, OPUS I, THE ACME BOOGIE COMPANY (which originally also included long-time friend Vini "Mad Dog" Lopez, who was Bruce Springsteen's drummer from the 60's all the way through his second album on Columbia Records), DEUCE COUPE (with Lisa Martin), VINI LOPEZ AND THE DISCO REJECTS, THE MIGHTY ACCENTS, PHATMAN (featuring Slick Aguilar who is the long-time guitarist for Paul Kantner and Marty Balin, as well as a long-time member of JEFFERSON STARSHIP), MAJOR WOODY & THE SPLINTERS, THE SONNY PREWITT BAND and HEY! BETTY! Currently, he still occasionally performs at various locations in Nashville, TN, where he continues to share the stage with some of the top writers and recording artists.

Melanie Rose Dyer's 'The Long Way Around'
tells the truth … and gives it a groove

I had to go through Egypt to get to Cheyenne 
I had to go through hell to reach the promised land
My heart's been tested, but here I stand
I had to take the long way around
To get where I am
       – The Long Way Around (written by Melanie R. Dyer/Marc Rossi)

Melanie Rose Dyer's new album, recorded in Nashville over the past three years, is titled The Long Way Around. That's an apt title for a project that has literally been a lifetime in the making.

“This is my life's project – it kind of is my life story,” Dyer says.

This is no typical Music Row production. It has little in common with today's mainstream country (though acts ranging from Reba to Wynonna to Lady A would be wise to raid it for songs). Dyer calls it “American roots rock with R&B influences.” She adds: “It's a very song-driven project … personal songwriting tapping into universal emotions. Real life, real emotions. It kind of goes back to my roots, what I used to do.”

Bobby Pizazz “I have song in my soul, I have a story that that must be told. As I write these songs I tell of life, and if you listen close, you will see, that this is not just my song, but ours in joy and strife. I’m a Music Story Teller a Song Man.”

Nashville singer/songwriter Bobby Pizazz and his band, RhythmTrain, offer a variety of original tunage, with writing influences as varied as Hank Williams, Jim Croce and Earth Wind & Fire.

Superior Vocal Health. My name is David Aaron Katz. In addition to being a Cantor I have been singing opera, Broadway and popular music around the world for more than 20 years. Through career highs and lows, I have experienced firsthand, the trials of being a professional singer. As professionals we just cannot afford a bad performance. Like it or not, we must always be "on." Vocal health is the number one priority in our lives so it’s imperative we keep our throats and bodies in the best condition possible. But with flying, staying in strange hotels, often singing every night, along with everyday stresses, well, it just isn’t easy. Inevitably the body and voice break down. How many times have you been sick but said, “the show must go on”? It’s happened to all of us. After years of trying every possible remedy on the market with no success, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I studied hard, becoming a nutritional consultant and herbalist. Superior Vocal Health is the result of my years of extensive research and personal experience. I created Superior Vocal Health to give all voice professionals the best tools to care for their voices - naturally - no drugs, no chemicals. My formulas are designed to restore, rejuvenate, invigorate, and heal a myriad of vocal issues.

Chloe and Taylor Turner

“Songs tell stories. Listen a little closer, and think a little harder. The music Taylor writes tells our stories. Not only do they tell our stories, but they tell your stories as well. Being able to relate to someones music is exciting. It puts a connection between you and the song.”
~ Chloe

“I absolutely love writing songs. I love how it’s poetry mixed with a catchy tune that can get stuck in your head. I love that it forces you to squish mass amounts of emotion into a single stanza and how an entire story can be confined within a few lines. Songs bring out the power of words.”
~ Taylor

Donny Barthelemy was born on September 6 in York, PA., twenty miles north of the Mason Dixon Line. Donny bought his first guitar at a pawnshop at age 14, nothing unusual really for most singer/songwriters, except for the fact that Donny’s first musical teacher/guru was none other than ‘Gus Backus’ of the ‘Del Vikings’. “He taught me how to tune the guitar, and some chords and also showed me the beauty of writing your own songs,” remarks Barthelemy. Donny has always put his faith in his  Lord  & savior Jesus Christ.

Kurt Fortmeyer was born in a barn and raised in a stable environment, or so he might tell an unwitting listener in one of his sillier moments. His life was changed irreparably at a tender and impressionable age when he was subjected to Roger Miller’s “Do-Wacka-Do”, as well as recordings of Allan Sherman, Chubby Checker, and Trini Lopez. When he’s not performing his original tunes at writers’ nights around Nashville, Kurt can often be heard performing songs by other singer-songwriters such as Robert Earl Keen, Tom Russell, Guy Clark, Darden Smith, and Butch Hancock. Kurt has shared the stage with Grammy-winning songwriters Steve Leslie and R.L. Castleman. and Hall Of Fame songwriters Don Wayne and Jimmy Payne. He has opened shows for a good number of artists including Livingston Taylor, Emmylou Harris, and Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver. As at home in front of a microphone as he is on a front porch, Kurt plays real music, by, for, and about real people. Amen.

BILLY DON BURNS:........ .. I was born at home, no doctor, no circumcision. When I was growing up if I was with my mother I was in church everytime the doors were open. If I was with my father and we were not working I was learining how to drink whiskey, smoke cigarettes, cuss, chase skirts and always keep an eye out for the law. To my sweet, wonderful Mother and her family and my sorry ass brother the preacher, God was the law. To Dad and me the law wore a badge and gun and only brought bad news. My dad was my best friend he died in 1978. I have been playing my music in honkytonks since before I was old enough to be in them legally. I have performed from Honolulu to Berlin, from NYC to Toyko. I have seen the Aurora Borealis from both sides of the northern hemisphere . I ain't saying that I have as many miles on me as Willie or Earnest Tubb or Keith Richards cause that would be a God Damn lie. However, I am well traveled. I guess you could say a road scholar. ........ Likes: .... Rick Rubin who signed Johnny Cash because he didn't have a label. .... Sex, Drugs and Rock and Hoes .... Driving fast and Laying Low.... .... Dislikes: .... Rick Blackburn the piece of shit who was head of CBS Nashville and dropped Johnny Cash from the label. .... People who think that they are hot shit. .... Men over 20 who still live with their mother. Men over 50 who won't take care of their mother ........ Music:.... Please ........ I ain't trying to say that I am anything. The truth is I am the least of the least. My greatest moments that come to mind are: .... 1 The birth of my two children, Jesse James Burns and Natalie Ruth Burns.... 2 When Johnny Cash sent me a hand written letter of congratulations.... 3 Willie Nelson recording one of my songs .... 4 Getting the chance to produce Johnny Paycheck, Merle Haggard and Tanya Tucker .... 5 When Porter Wagoner introduced me on the Grand Ole Opry .... 6 When I was a guest on late night NYC raido with Joey Rheynolds and Les Paul called up and talked about my music, his music and what ever. .... 7 When Harlon Howard signed me as a staff writer with his publishing company .... 8 Getting a 4-star review from German writer Jorg Feyer in Rolling Stone Magazine .... 9 When my old friend The Late Great Mack Vickery called me up and asked if I would like to spend the weekend in Memphis with him and the killer Jerry Lee Lewis. .... 10 Hearing The Late Great Earnest Tubb introduce me to sing on his stage........

RICHARD FAGAN One of the most successful songwriters in Nashville says he is “just lucky.”
But luck, alone, cannot account for the outstanding accomplishments of Richard Fagan. It takes more than luck to have six top-10 smash hits, 20 charted titles and more than 65 songs recorded. You don’t have stars like Shania Twain, Hank Williams Jr., George Jones, Neil Diamond, The Blues Brothers Band and George Strait singing your songs just by being lucky. It takes something much more -- talent and dedication.
Fagan’s songs have appeared on the soundtracks of five Hollywood feature films. He has written a network television theme song, a Presidential campaign song, a national sports anthem, show tunes, gospel songs, comic numbers and a Billboard Country Single of the Year. Working with a variety of collaborators, he has been responsible for such unforgettable hits as “Sold,” “Only on Days That End in Y,” “I Miss You a Little,” “Overnight Male” and “Be My Baby Tonight.” Albums containing Fagan songs have sold more than 25 million copies.
“God has always given me a pot of gold,” says Richard Fagan. “I think there’s a reason for it all. And I guess my being naïve helped me to succeed in Nashville. I didn’t know it at the time, but my timing was great.”

All of this in one very small package. Serious thought, experimentation, and intention has gone into the development of the innovative, highly functional Cooperstand. In addition to it's classy looks, it is surprisingly strong, plus it simply out performs the competition. Add all this to the fact that it is very attractive, and it fits inside most guitar cases or gigbags, and we have evolved into a whole new world of musical instrument support devices.

Roy August in his own Words

"Fancy Free was a miracle to me. It was at a time when I was struggling and almost ready to give up and leave town. I had a lyric for the song, which I took to the Oak Ridge Boys’ office. At the time, Jimbeau was the manager. The Oaks were totally into Gospel then. I gave my four verses and a chorus to Jimbeau that day so long ago, and he said he’d co write it with me. He offered an equal split on the writer’s shares and the Oaks would get the publishing. It was a done deal. We worked on it until it was two verses and a chorus. Then it sat in a file for 8 years before it got recorded! When it did, it helped both of us. It jump-started Jimbeau and his legendary career, and helped me raise my family. It also was the Oak Ridge Boys’ first #1 hit!!  " IndieConnect dot com

"MY FIRST RECORD WAS RECORDED IN 1965 BY THE GALLAXYS . THAT WAS MY FIRST RECORDING BAND. LATER I CAME TO NASHVILLE , JIMMY HELMSLEY BROUGHT ME TO TOWN AND INTRODUCED ME TO THE WILBORNS , AS IN THE WILBORN BROTHERS, TEDDY AND DOYLE. I GOT A JOB,.... YOU KNOW, I HAD TO PAY THE BILLS AND EAT, I GOT A JOB AT A COMPANY HERE CALLED “MATTLOCK”, I WAS SHOOTING RIVETTS, I STOLE SOME ABSENT-TEE CARDS AND WAS WRITING ON THEM WHEN I COULD. I WAS WRITING ON ONE OF THE CARDS ABOUT THE TIME THEY WERE CLOSING UP ONE DAY AND THE GUARD KEPT HOLLERING AT ME TO GET OUT SO HE COULD TRUN THE LIGHTS OUT SO THEY COULD CLOSE. I SAID “OK AND I’LL BE SITTIN’ FANCY FREE.” THE SONG WAS PICKUPED UP BY THE OAKRIDGE BOYS AND ONLY A COUPLE LINES WERE CHANGED FORM WHAT I HAD WRITTEN IN THE ORIGINAL SONG. " Damn Good Tunes dot com

"Before I met the Wilburn brothers and wrote for their company, I met Chuck Glaser, of Tom Paul and the Glaser Brothers. Chuck Glaser taught me how to construct my songs. Chuck is a genius at songwriting. Roy Baham also taught me song construction. Later on I had help from so many music greats in the golden age of country music, such as Leslie, Teddy, Doyle and Lester Wilburn. They were really great to my family and I. Once they made me a key to their office, and I slept there until I found a daytime job at Davis Cabinet Co. Chuck Glaser taught me that a hit song is one that everybody can relate to. What you’re trying to get across has got to be crystal clear to anyone, in any walk of life. Leslie Wilburn taught me to put feeling into a song. Others taught me so much. Sammy Kahn taught me how to pattern, speed write and co-write with anyone, living or dead. Owen Bradley taught me the value of getting your craft right so the singers don’t stumble over the lyrics (a lesson I learned the hard way). Doyle Wilburn let me pitch songs one day when their song plugger, Johnny Russell, had the flu. So I learned how major label producers hear other peoples work. And Jimbeau Hinson taught me that its good karma to help others reach their dreams." "So many people taught me so much, and for that I am forever grateful. Jimbeau and I had three records together from Sure Fire Music, ‘Leave Me or Love Me Alone’ and two releases on life in Baltimore." IndieConnect dot com
