Lonnie’s Economy Recording MusicPackage

Check out my little side business. This is for you artists that
can’t afford the time or money to come to Nashville to record right
now or just need a song or two to finish out your CD or to put up on
MYSPACE etc! - I have a website of songs I own the Master Recordings
on and I can lease you the music track and furnish you with a
Mechanical license so you are 100% legal for $250 - The only catch is
that you have to be able to sing them in the key they are recorded in.
You can go to the website below to sing along and find out. They are
much like the Karaoke tracks you buy except most of these are original
songs, though not all of them. You will be issued a Mechanical
License giving you the right to use the songs. You can post it on
MYSPACE, YouTube, Sing it on American Idol, Put it on your CD to sell
or sell downloads of it on the internet.
You can pay for these music tracks with your credit card if you
prefer. I then mail you a CD with the music track and you just take it
into your local recording studio and add your vocals and harmony and
you got it. If this sounds like something you may be interested in
just go to my website below and see if there is anything you like
there that is in your key. I have most of the Lyrics posted. Just

NOTE from Lonnie - I always feel a little guilty because I never have
time to listen to mp3's new artists and songwriters send me,
unsolicited I might add. I hate it but I just delete them because I
finally figured out I could try to be a nice guy or I could try to
work and pay my bills. My banker had a very stern suggestion that I
needed to keep working and be a nice guy on my own time after all my
bills were paid. Turns out that spare time does not exist so I just
had to give up on listening to unsolicited mp3's, CD's and giving my
opinions and suggestions. Now I just concentrate on my music business
out of necessity but I figure I can give you some links that will
answer your questions better than I could anyway.

Here's some books available this week on EBAY

Lonnie's Inspirational Rant
If anything about this photo below reminds you of your music career
it is time to do something. Do anything.
If you think the country is headed for a depression just refuse to
participate in the depression. Go on with your life and career
because you ain't gonna wait out a depression with that $500 you have
hidden in your mattress if it happens. When things are back to normal
those who "waited it out" will be way behind
While every other artist puts their career on hold you can take
advantage of all the good deals you can find on recording and
promotional deals and you will have a lot less competition at radio
also if everyone else is waiting around to be buzzard bait.

"Just because you have temporarily quit making money with your music
is no excuse to quit making music"

2009 is here and
Who would have ever thought we would be selling country music like
this.
It is simple, fast and you get to listen before you buy it.

===============================================

Are you sitting on a "Hit Song" ?

I have decided there is just too much good country music out there
that the public never gets to hear and the main reason is the lack of
money or the knowledge of how to get it into the right hands. I
honestly believe if you have a hit song that nowdays you do not need a
big music machine behind you. All that matters is if the public likes
your song or not. With that in mind I have set up my online music
company to where I believe you can have a decent shot at finding out
for $150. Now keep in mind that there is a real good chance that the
song you and your girlfriend or boyfriend and your close friends and
family think is the next big thing may end up disappointing you. In
the past it would have cost you several thousand dollars to find this
out. It will still cost you that much if you are naive enough to give
someone the money.

I have been promoting country music since 1978 so I do have a
reasonale understanding of what I am doing and I believe I will
probably get more work than I can handle soon and then be able to
raise my prices from this ridiculously low $150.

This is what you get with the package. I will E Mail an mp3 of your
song to 550+ Internet and AM & FM radio stations that I have contacted
who agreed to accept mp3's.

I will build you a YouTube SlideShow (similar to the one below) and
include a link so the DJ's can watch it if they choose to.

I will furnish a LINK to wherever you have your song for sell at
(CDBABY - I-Tunes - AMAZON.com - Your Website) or your E Mail if you
want the DJ's to contact you.

I will forward any comments about your song that I get from the DJ's
to you and keep an eye on the Playlist Boards to see who is playing
you.

I will TRACK your song for 5 weeks so it is only costing you $30 a
week to find out if you have a hit or not.

Keep in mind that I will not be calling the DJ's and begging them to
play your song. I only make it available to them and they can choose
to play it or not. I have a reputation of only working good songs so
they will at least give it a listen so you have got a shot. After
that it is up to the song. If you want someone to call them and
promote your song I can get you set up with a promoter for about $3500
for 6 weeks but I have no interest in doing that type of promotion
myself.

All I will need from you is an mp3 of the song (I will pass on
anything I don't want my name associated with) 2 or 3 PHOTOS of you
for the YouTube (.jpg) The links to your website and where you are
selling the song if applicable and $150 - I can accept Credit Cards
through PayPal.

Attn: DJ's - This is a nice uptempo song from Nova Scotia artist Lynn
Chisholm with a nice little sassy attitude that should make your
listeners ears perk up. Song idea is based on the fact that back in
the 50's Doctors would recommend that patients with T.B. or any other
respiratory disease move to Arizona because the climate there would
usually help them to live much longer. In this song Lynn isn't sick
of anything except that rotten man she's leaving behind in California.


Remember to take a second to E mail me back and let me know if you
plan on playing it in your shows and I would really appreciate any
comments you might have about the artist and/or the song. Thanks a
lot - Lonnie Ratliff NashvilleShowcase@...

The Bear In Our Yard

There is a big black bear living in our back yard.
He moved in some time ago and seems to like it here.

I know he doesn't belong in our neighborhood
because he isn't wearing a baseball cap,
or white socks and sandals..

Everybody around here is afraid of it,
but nobody is doing anything about it.

MY RULES TO AVOID BEAR ATTACKS:

Don’t carry porridge in your pocket.

Don’t walk around with a pic-a-nic basket.

Be extra careful if he has a little bear behind.

Carry a 12 gauge shotgun or a rolled-up newspaper.

Play grind-organ music and see if he can dance.
If he does dance, let him lead.

If it’s bear mating season, wear armored shorts.
If you don’t have armored shorts, ask him to buy you dinner first.

Don’t wear a fur coat.

Throw a jar of honey as far as you can.
While he’s trying to get the cap off, run away.

Yell for help.
If a neighbor comes out, the bear may like him better.

Don’t sleep in a dumpster.

Wave your arms, scream uggabuggabugga, and run at him.
He may think you’re nuts and give up.
Unfortunately, bears don’t give up as often as you would think.

If he does give up,
don’t take him home with you.
You’ll never get him to leave.

Recording Artist Jaime Beaver "The Early Years"

I feel blessed & honored with the success I have had over the last
twelve years of my music career, but I understand in order to take my
career to the next level it will take a lot more hard work &
sacrifices. I have tried very hard to develop my own style and not be
comparedto other great artists in the music industry. I invite all
music lovers to go to my web site and judge for yourself.

Dave Younger

Well God Bless you, Brother Lonnie, for working so hard to help us
all!
Here's a Younger-Hail update:
Our song "What I Wouldn't Give" has made it into a movie; "Like
Dandelion Dust" which premiered last week at the Palm Springs Film
Festival. We co-wrote this one with Hank Grant who also recorded it.
Hank and Bill Hail, the other writer were at the festival for the
opening. They were flown there all expenses paid and were given a real
"star" treatment by the film's producers, crew, and stars. Hank's
album "A Bible and a Bus Ticket Home" is available on his website,
http://www.HankGrant.net , and it includes 8 Younger-Hail-Grant
collaborations along with songs by Craig Wiseman and Hank
Cochran.James Dean Hicks, Timothy Jon Johnson, Billy Don Burns, Joey
Gunn, Jerry Earl Laseter and Mark Dreyer also have co-writing credits
on the album.
I'm personally VERY excited about the two songs I just worked on with
you. I think that we got some really interesting songs. Your words are
amazing...and I don't mind saying, my melodies are worthy of your
words! I'm looking forward to our next go-round.
Younger & Hail's websites are

Thanks again for getting the word out, Lonnie,

Amanda Jayne Latham Debut Album "FLY"
www.ajlatham.co.uk

"GOD WORKS IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS". A track on my debut album which will
make even the strongest of people weep. Written for the soundtrack of
a true film about an alcoholic, who went from sleeping on a park bench
for nearly 15 years - to receiving an MBE off the Queen!

I write from the heart and about everyday events that happen to us
all in our every day lives, both ups and downs.

I truely believe that "LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT" (another song on my
album) and I will never give up my dream. If my music can help just
one person get through a bad time, or one of my songs brings a smile
to someones face, then all my efforts have been worth while.

Please check out my website - I hope you enjoy it!

Ed Bentley

Hi everyone,
Ed Bentley here... First of all, I would like to thank Lonnie for
this opportunity to speak with you.. I have just written and recorded
a new
song called, "Who was that Old Man".. I NEED YOUR HELP HERE!!! It is
an unusual song for the country market, a story about an old man who
shows up in a small town looking for work. Pretty soon miricles start
to happen around the old man, people's lives are changed, then
suddenly he
disappears, leaving town folks saying, "Who was that Old Man??

Here's where you come in. I would like you to listen and send your
feedback, IE: How to market it, what would be a good marketing
approach,
even what artist I might pitch it to, etc.. Or even if you hate this
song (hope not-lol) your feedback would be much appreciated!!! I know
this is
an unusual request, but I would really like to hear your comments.
You can hear my song at http://www.edbentleymusic.com (
http://www.edbentleymusic.com )

You can email me at
edbentley@...

Hope all of you have a wonderful and prosperous New Year,
All the best,
Ed

The Springs are the "2008 ICM Youth Artist of The Year", and have
proved that they are the number one "teenage" Country Band in the
World. Why the World? Their first Chart Topping single, #1 on three
charts, released last March, entitled "Mommy's Little Man", is still
on CMA Europe's top 100 main Country chart. With two follow-up
releases off their "Teens on a Mission" debut CD in 2008, The Springs
made a big splash onto the Country music seen. Being nominated for
"New Group of the Year" for NMW's awards show was just another
highlight. Their current single, "Are You An Angel", a song about
helping a family in need during the hard times, has already hit #6 on
a major Country chart. Sharing the stage in 2008 with mainstream
Country stars from Sara Evans to Kid Rock, The Springs have shown that
their high energy concerts can help bring "teens" back to Country
music; that is their mission! Please come join them on this mission,
and check them out at: http://www.myspace.com/thespringsmusic (

Hi Lonnie,

It has been said that "to receive a blessing, you must be a blessing"
and nothing is more true than your recent E-mail allowing us
Independent Artists a chance to be included in your fine newsletter.
I am so grateful to be able to submit a few sentences about my music
for others to read. I predict that someone or something is going to
come you way and you will be truly blessed.

I have been loading my fiddle and amp into my car and going out to
play gigs for over 30 years now. I am not a rich man so this
opportunity is priceless. I really love what I do and if you are a
half decent fiddler, you are playing somewhere in Texas! Bottom line,
I have had such memorable experiences and met the most fascinating
people and played some great parties where otherwise, I probably
wouldn't have gotten through the door! I am so thankful for my life
with my music.

Thanks again Lonnie for this cool opportunity you have provided for
us musicians.

Best Wishes,

Bob.

Hi,

I'm Chelsea; I'm from Central Texas. I love to sing and play my
guitar, and that's pretty good since I almost lost my tongue and
couldn't sing. I have alot of different influences varying from:Taylor
Swift, Gary Allan, Patty Loveless and Lee Ann Womack. I have been
singing in Churches and Oprys around Texas for 5 years and playing my
guitar for 4. I love trying new things and pushing my voice to new
limits. I'm always looking to make new friends and listen to other up
and coming artists like myself. I have written and copyrighted four
songs of my own. I hope to make a career out of my music and I look
forward to everything that the future might hold. I encourage everyone
to listen to my music and let me know what your thoughts are. I love
hearing what everyone thinks of my music; it helps me grow and know
how to improve. Please visit my myspace. I can't wait to hear your
comments and suggestions.

Lonnie Ratliff ~ Record Production~ 5 Songs

1. Cost for 5 songs is $3,750 (Three Thousand Seven Hundred & Fifty
Dollars). This includes Studio, Musicians, Etc! and you end up with a
mixed CD of your project. There are not a lot of hidden costs that
will be tacked on. The only additional costs I can think of would be
$150 if you want us to Master it for you before it goes to your
pressing plant. (Call me and I can explain Mastering to you) The other
thing that could cost you later is that you might have to pay
songwriter royalties if you have recorded someone elses songs and are
gonna include it on your CD to sell. (Example = If you want to record
a George Strait song or a Taylor Swift song then you will have to pay
a royalty to use that song) I can help point you in the right
direction to obtain a license from the Harry Fox Agency (
http://www.harryfox.com/public/songfile.jsp ).

2. For those artist who are new at this, Production is just about
getting your songs recorded and ready to be made into CD's that you
can sell. I don't press up the 500 or 1000 CD's for you but I can
recommend Karen Bruno at Amazon Audio ( http://www.amazonaudio.com/
)who can take care of everything for you. I believe it costs about
$1500 for a 1000 CD's. A lot of the artists I produce will cut a
couple of 5 song sessions with me and then put them together and press
up a CD they can sell and get their money back.

3. First thing we need to do is figure out if we can work together
and come up with something we can both be proud of. You can listen to
the artists I have produced (Click Here) (
http://members6.boardhost.com/SongReviews/ ) and get an idea of what I
do. If you are a decent singer and I believe we can make a respectable
recording then I will probably be glad to work with you.

4. Deposits & Payments: The first thing required is a $200 deposit
and once that is paid we can start putting together your session. I
will help you find the songs if needed and will arrange them for you
using any ideas you may have. Once we find the songs and have picked a
date you send me the balance of $3,550 at least 2 weeks before the
session date and I book your session at a studio on Music Row. I
normally use Dixiana Studio (
http://nashvillecdstore.hypermart.net/Joni_Session.html ). We will cut
the basic tracks and overdubs there and then cut the final vocals,
harmonies and mix at Smokehouse studio.

5. The Band normally will consist of Bass, Drums, Rhythm Guitar,
Piano, Steel Guitar, Fiddle, Dobro, Electric Guitar & Mandolin. If I
believe a particular song calls for a specialty instrument I will use
it and there is no additional charge. I do not try to cut corners by
taking short cuts on the musicians we use.

6. Original songs. I have about 200 songs in my Music Publishing
Company that you are welcome to use (Royalty Free) if you are using
them on any project I produce.

7. Time it will take to record. Figure that it will take about 3 days
in the studio. If you are on a tight schedule you're part will be over
in two days. First day we cut the tracks with a scratch vocal and the
second day you will sing your final vocals. I figure you will have up
to 45 minutes to sing each song.

8. Practice Guitar tracks if needed. If you think you may have
trouble singing any of the songs you pick and do not play an
instrument I can record and send you an acoustic guitar track of the
song so you can practice it before you come to Nashville.

9. Final thoughts. Keep in mind that you are hiring me to make you
sound good and I take my job very seriously. I will do my best to see
that you have a good time in the studio. I work with some of the best
studio musicians in Nashville and they will do everything in their
power to make the best recording of your music as possible. Feel free
to E Mail any of the artists I have worked with (Click Here) (
http://members6.boardhost.com/SongReviews/ ) before and ask them any
questions you may have about working with me. Once you have paid your
deposit I am on your team and you can call(615) 742 0666and ask me any
questions you have and I will try my best to give you an answer.
Probably half of the artist I work with are recording their first CD
and have a lot of questions so don't be embarrassed to ask about
anything you don't understand.

I look forward to working with you and hope I can be a part of your
musical future.

Lynn Chisholm comments on her CD produced by Lonnie Ratliff

myspace.com/lynnchisholmmusic (
http://www.myspace.com/lynnchisholmmusic )

Since I recorded this project 'Follow Your Heart' in Nashville this
past summer with my good friend and producer Lonnie Ratliff, it has
been a whirl wind. Shortly after the release I got an email from a
Canadian Troops supported requesting the song 'Midnight At The Old
Soldiers Home' for a compliation cd being sent to our troops in
Afganastan for Christmas. I am so excited about this. Just after that
Remembrance Day was approaching and I had been asked to sing this song
at a Rembrance Day Service in my County. This was powerful with some
of the vets in front row seat. Check out the youtube video for this.
Since my release of Follow Your Heart with a near full house at
Strathspey Place, Mabou I have been getting a number of phone calls
wanting me to play in venues across Nova Scotia. I am currently
working with a local band I just became acquainted with and playing
just about every weekend and selling a good number of cds from the
stage! Just before Christmas I recieved a phone call from a well known
artists here in Nova Scotia by the name of Terry Kelly wanting me to
come to the city of Halifax and do a cd release with 'Follow Your
Heart'. This is an exciting invitation and a great start to my 2009
year. My goal right now is to reach as many Nova Scotia venues as I
can and have a lot of fun doing it. So far so good. Happy New Year to
all my music friends near and far.

Imprinters To The Stars Since 1985

Since 1985, we have been imprinting and/or embroidering apparel,
pens, cups, keytags, mugs, Tote Bags, Equipment Stickers, CD Carrying
cases and thousands of other products for Bands, Artists DJs and
Promoters. We have our own in-house art department and can take the
simplest idea and morph it into aneffective, multi-color design.
You'll wow 'em in Vegas!
We know The Music Business.
