WOW! Larry, Don't feel like you are the only one (12/19/02). Seems that Anaheim, CA, as well as Manteca, CA, and now Bakersfield, CA all have delays! So, USPS seems to be messed up the most in CA. I would recommend complaining to the "953**, 928**, 933**" zip code/area ADC's (automated distribution center's) for the USPS and ask them why you have not received your magazine yet. They were all mailed on March 13, 2003. [IMOHO] ------------------ and appearing regularly...aLotOfSpace.com [This message was edited by Terry Wendt on 07 April 2003 at 05:39 PM.] |

Terry, I'll pony up for the full subscription price as soon as I see my first issue. Haven't gotten it yet. Years ago I published a small newspaper called The Kudzu in Jackson, MS. One thing I learned is that all successful magazines and newspapers pay their staff and production costs with advertising revenue. The face value the reader pays mostly goes for distribution costs and dealer profits. About the only exception I know to that is Consumer Reports, which doesn't take adds and is published by a nonprofit corporation that survives off the subscription price. My advice - get an ad rep to sell ads on commission, unless you have tons of free time and want to engage in that activity yourself. This will make the difference between survival and failure.

Terry, Got the mag last week, have read it several times....I really like the emphasis on being creative with the steel and getting out of the box!!! I frankly find the cliche ridden nashville stuff a bit redundant and totally unimaginative....lyrically speaking that is.. I started out playing classical piano as a kid, switched to jazz and orchestral trumpet in my teens, along w/rock guitar and picked up the love of my life(after my family that is)the pedal steel guitar....so I have absolutely no exposure nor experience playing country music till i started getting into the steel....the only limitation on this instrument is our own imagination..along with the cello and jerry douglas dobro, i find the steel to be the most expressive instrument in the world!!! After all this drivel, sign me up for the next publications...i want to support the steel community!! Thanks for your persistence! |

Terry: My new issue finally arrived and it was well worth the wait and the money. I loaned it to my nephew and another friend who both play dobro and they like to went crazy.If any of you pickers out there have dobro nuts around show them this mag. The Jerry Douglas article was a winner.Put two more subscriptions down for me , I will pay for both of these guys. |

Terry... I'm receiving alot of your e-mails, which for some reason are being re-routed to my hotmail.com address. This is also happening to others with hotmail accounts. |

Please, Kerry just delete them. It is an old nightmare, one that has several explanations... and it hangs right on if you do anything other than delete them.

Terry, The 1st issue was great. And even after the glitch with Emails I,m steel in for a years subscription. Page 5 gives everyone a description on what to expect in future issues. Maybe one day a centerfold pull-out of some beautiful old guitars and some new ones. Something like Jody Carver's RARE BIRD. A 1956 4 neck String master that he sold and found 30 years later exactly like he left it. But that is Jody's story so maybe that would be a good interview with Jody and for the magazine. People, we got us a magazine now so let's support it and pick up the pace on orders. |

Okay, did everyone get their magazines now? and... Does everyone know about the subscriptions now? Just curious... since all 200+ supporters haven't been added to the actual "LIST of Subscribers" ...yet

Terry, I really enjoyed it. I'm not a big Dobro fan but the article about Jerry Douglas was great. I also enjoyed Lloyd's article about his first songwriting experience. You can't get this kind of 'stuff' just anywhere!!!! Thanks again, Kim P.S. Will be sending in subscription soon!!! |

Terry, I met a nice family at a show I was playing in Cass City, Mi. while with the Boyer twins in the early 1980's. I remember the young boy asking me questions about my steel and telling me about his brother who was playing steel for Jimmy C. Newman. He seemed really proud of his big bro. Was that your kin? |

WHAT A TRIP FRANK! There is a wonderful story about that little brother and the Boyer Twins in my book, "The Early Days". I was actually born in that town (Cass City, MI) and that was my little brother Tim. (Now he's a bit bigger than I am  ) Joe Glaser (the bender guitar builder) who also wrote the Jerry Douglas CD Review in the Feb/Mar Issue was playing one of his first pedal steel gigs one night in Cass City (around that same time frame) with none-other than the Boyer Twins. (He also recanted the story of that evening in my book.) I had only previously moved to Nashville ('79) and was at that time (1980-81) working for the Cajun - Jimmy C. Newman... and Jeff Newman too. Thanks for remembering (and also reminding me of) that wonderful time in my life Frank ------------------ and appearing regularly...aLotOfSpace.com [This message was edited by Terry Wendt on 26 April 2003 at 04:56 PM.] |

Ya know, I've been offline for about a week, and maybe I've missed something, and forgive me if I have, but is there any kind of adequate answer to b0b's question? I'm beginning to think not....... I was under the impression at the start that issues would come out every other month, and some delays are to be expected, but my goodness, I should be getting a renewal notice instead of still waiting for my 3rd issue. It's been a year, and there's only been 2. JB ------------------ |
