Back After An Extended Absence!

Though it has been months since the last post (my fault for getting busy with other projects) I will try to get the BLOG back up and running and maybe this time even promote the fact that it is here!!!

The Budweiser Music Highway is alive and well and still on the radio every week over Rock 92.3/ WYNU-FM each Sunday night from 9:00p.m.-10:00p.m.. Since our last post we have welcomed many talented guests to the show and it continues to "move along" down the strip we refer to as the music highway.

We still have plans to "syndicate" the show as soon as we can make that happen. This would put the show on more than one radio station. Rock 92.3 is a great station run by a cool company called Forever Communications, Inc., but we see a need to expand the show to other markets. This may even be something we will discuss with FCI since they have tons of other stations in many markets here in the U.S.

As I explained in a past post here, Wes and I want to promote artists, songwriters, and others involved in creating music on a more widespread basis. We feel the combination of radio airwaves and the Internet are the perfect mediums to accomplish this.

Over the months (soon to mark our 2nd anniversary of the show) we have hosted some tremendously talented guests, artists, bands, and songwriters on the show and want to do our part toward helping them reach a broader audience for their music.

That is the objective we started out with and continue to hold today. Good music and gifted artists need to be shared with the world and that is why we do the Budweiser Music Highway every week.

We support the show, purchase airtime, and pay the bills we incur by signing up our own sponsors who advertise their products and services on the show each week. Almost from the beginning Budweiser has been onboard as our marquee sponsor. They caught the vision months ago and initially came on for a 13 week period. At the end of the first three months they told us to put them on permanently and we greatly appreciate their continued support as our namesake sponsor.

Other sponsors that have stepped up to the plate, so to speak, and faithfully supported us include Oreck Vacuums of Jackson and Corky's Bar-B-Que. Both these sponsors mean a lot to us and to all we are wanting to accomplish in promoting and showcasing the great talent that calls West Tennessee and the Mid-South home.

Thanks, sponsors! We literally couldn't do it without you.

The next bit of news to share may be a little premature but here goes anyway. I have finally found some time to work on our Budweiser Music Highway official web site. It is far from complete at this time, but there is at least "something" there you can check out.

Over the coming weeks I will be adding more to it (if you go there and some links don't work just yet just realize it is in a state of construction for now and that you are being given a chance to watch it all happen as it does). We plan to put up some audio of actual shows, some of the "live" performances we have aired, and tons of other goodies I think you will find informative.

The address is: http://www.musichighwayshow.com so buzz over there and check it out.

Thanks for stopping by, and check back often to this blog and the website.
