** Dixie Chicks pay tribute to Bill Monroe **

According to a news article posted to Nici's Dixie Chicks discussion list,
the rumored Ricky Skaggs tribute to Bill Monroe is nearing completion, with
the release date set for August 29. Along with artists from Bruce Hornsby
to Dolly Parton to Mary Chapin Carpenter, the Dixie Chicks will be paying
homage to the "Father of Bluegrass". Skaggs, who will be opening several
tour dates for the Chicks, will join the girls to sing "My Little Georgia
Rose", a Monroe song from the 1950s.

For the full story, including a link to the CDnow sound sample of the
original Bill Monroe version of "My Little Georgia Rose", please visit the

** New Look met with Stunned Silence **

While the updates above were important enough to move to the "Live" site
right away, the "New Look" on the Beta site is not going anywhere... at
least not yet. Initial reviews of the new look range from "Ick" to "That's
more like a 'New Chicks' color scheme". So I'm still working on it. Any
suggestions would be much appreciated! I tried using a
checkerboard-tablecloth pattern, but it's positively ugly. If you've got
the intestinal fortitude, check out the colors and the checks on the Beta
site... and don't be afraid to tell me just what you think!

** All-Inclusive on the radio! **

Tomorrow, 6/27/2000, I'm scheduled to appear on Katie Pruett's "Eye on the
Internet" radio show! The show airs on Dallas' KRLD 1080 AM, and my
segment should be on around 7:30pm. Katie will be talking to me about the
site and some of the interesting things that have happened to
"All-Inclusive" over the past two years. This will be my second radio
interview, but the first that I'll get feedback on -- I was interviewed by
a Knoxville country station's morning crew last year, but never heard back
whether they even aired it.

The bad news is that CBS, KRLD's corporate owners, have a policy of not
broadcasting over the Internet. Even though you can read all about the
station and its shows on the 'net (at http://www.krld.com/), you can't
listen live. This has been a frustration for net-savvy radio folks like
Katie for quite a while, but so far, nothing has changed CBS's mind on this
subject. And they wonder why their TV shows have such a low rating in the
under-40 age bracket...

And if Katie's name sounds familiar, but you can't remember why, check out
the Site History page. We won't be talking about Katie's special
contribution to the site -- she says the rest of the story is much more
interesting.
