I am 20 years old now. But wanted to share with you all the pain of being bullied. Mine was in the public school system. Started out in elementary, nothing too serious, being laughed at and made fun of. By junior high they believed they could physically touch me. I was assaulted on the school bus and my best friend who tried to keep me from crying, they set her on fire. By the end of junior high, the pain they were inflicting was tremendous. I took all that pain and started writing songs. The first song was called Beautiful written at age 14 for my mother. I wanted to thank her for all her help and support during the very hard times. Then the music just kept flowing. Every time they would do something to me, I would write about it. Check out my video "She's Amazing" - basically written about my life. My reason for telling you all this, is that music is so much deeper than just words and melodies. Music can take pain away, it can promote something inside a person that is deeper than most people can imagine. Take your experiences, good and bad, make them real and share them with the world.

I was raised in Idaho, but my roots are southern to the core what with my daddy being from Kentucky and my mama from Georgia. So it came as no surprise to find myself marryin a Georgia redneck. He calls me his converted rebel, LOL.

Fairfax, VA (September 29, 2011) --- 50 years after The Beatles first entered a recording studio, the complete collection of those tracks will be available for the first time in North America when THE BEATLES WITH TONY SHERIDAN: FIRST RECORDINGS: 50th Anniversary Edition, is released to stores November 8th on Time Life.  The 2-CD set comes with a specially-designed book that is a historical trove of concert and intimate photos taken by Astrid Kirchherr and others who were with The Beatles during the early days of their career.  The book also includes handwritten biographies by each member of the group, signed contracts, original artwork taken from posters and records, and text by  Hans Olof Gottfridsson, who has spent years researching this period of the Beatles’ career.
 
In North America, it is generally believed that the Beatles’ recording career began on Capitol in 1964. Few know that it actually began on the German Polydor label in 1961. As Gottfridsson  notes in the book for THE BEATLES WITH TONY SHERIDAN: FIRST RECORDINGS, Polydor executive and big band leader Bert Kaempfert discovered the group in a German nightclub, signing them to his own company and then releasing the songs through Polydor. The night they signed the contract at Kaempfert’s kitchen table, the four Beatles wrote brief autobiographies, reproduced here in their original handwriting.  Through a combination of music, photos, documents, artwork and history, THE BEATLES WITH TONY SHERIDAN: FIRST RECORDINGS beautifully captures John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison just before they rocketed to international stardom. The earliest days of The Beatles have never been revisited in such detail.
 
The set includes every recording they made for Kaempfert and Polydor in 1961 and 1962.  Multiple versions  have been released throughout the past several decades – some in mono, some in stereo – each with distinctly different sounds.  Most notably, the US versions of these tracks were overdubbed with another guitar player and drummer in an attempt to mirror the edgier sound the group had evolved into, unbeknownst to American fans at the time of their release in 1964. All versions of every track, including mono and stereo mixes, are included in the double disc set, remarkable in their difference but all bearing the same unmistakable sound of a wholly new kind of band.
 
Many of the Polydor tracks feature Tony Sheridan on lead vocals, a decision made by Kaempfert.  However, John Lennon sings lead vocals on “Ain’t She Sweet,” and George Harrison plays an instrumental, “Cry For A Shadow.”
 
THE BEATLES WITH TONY SHERIDAN: FIRST RECORDINGS: 50th Anniversary Edition is a remarkable story, told through music, mementos and words, of a band on the cusp of changing music and pop culture forever. The collection is a fascinating and comprehensive view of one of the most important yet overlooked moments in Beatles history.

How do you feel about someone who presents a cd all over the world as being the one preforming and as an artist when they actually were not the one singing or playing on any of that cd?
 How would you feel if that same person presents themselves as an artist and is featured as an artist of the week or month ect. on many internet websites and radio stations?
 How would you feel about some one being charted on Reverb Nation and other places as an artist/preformer when they had nothing to do with the vocals or preformace of an album or cd?
 If someone wants to present a work of songs written to others to "Shop" those songs to others  that is one thing but to Misrepresent yourself falsely and accept the credit for the preformance is wrong and an insult and injury to all honest artist/and true preformers!
 When you work hard at your craft not only as a songwriter and also as a preformer or using your true talent as a musician and vocalist then give credit where credit is due !! However to allow someone to be played on radio or anywhere else as something they are not should not be acceptable to any honest person in the music business!!!

G'day from Australia. We are now in a world that is changing so fast that none of can keep up. All of our social norms have changed so much that the strictures that we relied on in the past have been disregarded. This is reflected; as usual, in music. Previously, music was born out of a zealous & untamed heart in a garage, a bedroom, a lounge room or a "mates" place (Aussie for "friend"). All forms of music reflected a social joy or grief. Now, music is manufactured in a producer's head, then mixed in a cold digital format, and given to niche market. The result is Mariah and..... But, there is hope !. There is always pure music which takes us back to the vanilla. There is always my banjo, my uke, my mouth organ & my resonator guitar that reminds me that there are yard sticks in life that I can rely on. There are absolutes besides my God. I can always go back to "Amazing Grace" on my reso, or "Cripple Creek" on my jo (banjo) that says "I haven't gone anywhere; I am still here". This is the force behind folk, celtic, bush ballads (Australian folk music), bluegrass, jazz, spirituals, hillbilly, skiffle & country. May we always appreciate what we have; something no one can take away from us; our love of pure music that comes from within. Thanks friends & neighbours for dropping by.

Well it seems I have yet again taken on even more work.  Sometimes I just don't know when to quit, but I really enjoy it.  I hope you will love the extra work too.  The extra work comes in the form of a new 24/7 online station called LXIX Radio 69.  This online station will play 24/7 a true variety of music, but it will mainly focus on country/classic rock/southern rock genres.  These are some of my favorite types of music, and I wanted to share my favorite music with the world.  I constantly have people comment on how they love my taste in music, well here it is whenever you want it.  If you want to listen to the station (it isn't on 24/7 yet, only a few hours per day right now while beta testing), here is the player and info....

Well, to the very few, faithful followers of Redneck Week, you may have noticed that there havent been any broadcasts for the past two Thursdays, and for good reason.  Equipment problems have really interferred with trying to produce a quality broadcast that you viewers can enjoy.  As we speak, every single one of our computer servers and being upgraded, wiped clean, and reinstalled with new specialized software.  We also have added a 50Mbs fiber optic line into the Outhouse Studio as well as the upload speed and been beefed up to over 9Mbps, which should take care of the freezing and jittering of the video.  We have added a couple of higher end microphones specially designed for radio and podcasting, and we have even installed a "green screen" in the studio hoping to be able to add some special effects to the broadcasts in the recent future.  I know the broadcast has been slow go, and for that I truly do appologize for that.  Those of you fans who followed my faithfully from my old broadcast, "Hillbilly Heaven with Jason Wild" should remember that not everything then was not exactly easy either.  I hope to soon turn this broadcast into a for profit model so I can pursue this full time and be able to produce more shows, and turn this into my lifelong dream.  A redneck network.  Thank you for keeping up with all of this, but most of all....BEING A FAN!! You're the greatest. See ya Thursday nigh and save me a cold one!
