| FEATURED SITES |
| Here are some sites we feel definitely
deserve a visit from you.
TEX & MARY SCHUTZ are among America's top performers of real traditional country music. Don't miss Tex & Mary, a truly class act! They host the annual Miles of Memories Country MusicFest and RV Rally (a great festival) in Nebraska. **REDD STEWART is world-famous for his composition The Tennessee Waltz, but there's lots more to know about him. This is the official Redd Stewart web site. It is well worth your time, so be sure to check it out! **BOB EVERHART, prairie
balladeer, the National Traditional Country Music Association, and his great annual National Old Time Country and Bluegrass Music Festival. Not to be missed! TAKIN' THE COUNTRY BACK is a great web site, dedicated to real country music, not the corporate product. The site offers much of interest and richly deserves your attention and support. Check it out! GUITAR NOTES is definitely one of the best guitar sites on the web. Anyone interested in guitar will find things to love (and a multitude of great links) on this site. The great songwriter TERRY SMITH (Farside Banks of Jordan, many, many others)--is a strong singer and entertainer also. Don't miss his always entertaining shows! It has been Charley's pleasure to play many shows with Terry. DUSTIN HUNT, from Kansas, has a great country music show including his amazing recreation of the legendary Hank Williams sound and stage appearance.
NEBRASKA'S KENASTON FAMILY AND THEIR WAHOO COUNTRY MUSIC SHOW--great people hosting a great festival. Don't miss this one! FIDDLE GEORGE (JIRI) KRALIK, THE HOT CZECH!! A fabulous young fiddle phenomenon from Prague, and his band The Rowdy Rascals. Charley has toured extensively in the states and Europe with George and his band. My old and dear friend TAMPA BLUE keeps the fires lit for acoustic fingerstyle blues--the real thing, friends--in the Carolinas and wherever he goes. Blue plays festivals, concerts, and a wide variety of other gigs--always with the real thing, the true blues. When you want the blues, book this man! JEAN CAHILL and JEROME CAMPBELL, headquartered in Oklahoma, are truly outstanding musicians. They specialize in the music of the American west, but they can play it all: Western music, swing, jazz, country. They are among the best!! Charley met and made music with FUR DIXON and STEVE WERNER at the Topanga Canyon Festival in California. These two are wonderfully talented and skilled musicians, and great people as well. Charley has some shows called the REAL DEAL shows. Steve and Fur are definitely the REAL DEAL too. Based in L.A., they travel the world. Don't miss them!! LIL' IAN GOODSMAN is a world-travelling Piedmont style bluesman presently living in New Zealand, halfway around the planet from the Piedmont. He's a first-rate musician and an great guy. Check out his interesting web site!
