Miss Leslie Resolves to Have More People Hear Her Music

Wow, Miss Leslie Sloan is about to be overwhelmed by requests for her CD! Offering free download music would have been so much cheaper. I think this offer will be of very limited duration once she gets buried in the avalanche of requests. If she sends me one I’ll pass it on to John Nutting who hosts the nationwide “Saturday Night Country” radio show in Australia as he loves real country music. Hey, she said she wanted to spread the word! In an interview at “Country Standard Time” Leslie related how she’d love to do her music full time but there just hasn’t been enough demand for concert gigs in Texas. It seems she’s decided to go for it in 2009.

I’d comment on the new Sunny Sweeney songs, but I’m afraid she’d post a response here and box my ears verbally…(lol)

Guys, I’m going to need an albi. I think I am going to have to kill Jack Black. Which is a pity because he was so good in Tropic Thunder. But I have heard Tenacious D and don’t think I can handle that being done to Bluegrass.

Marc: Isn’t that Sufajan Steven’s job?

I was at that Madison Square Garden show featuring Stuart and Wagoner. It’s the reason I went (I walked out after 4 sings from the White Stripes)and it was a great show. The crowd loved them.

Sam: Can I at least kick him in the crotch a couple times? It might make him sing better.

My goal for 2009 is to get more fans. I also happen to be a fan. Just as a fan – what would YOU rather have? Free downloads or a signed CD from the artist?

I could expound upon this for awhile, but this isn’t about money. I’m still in the stage where I am investing in my career.

And this is an experiment – my bet is that I won’t get as many requests as Rick thinks. . . or then again, maybe I will.

Either way, I’m gaining true, genuine fans. And that, folks, is, as Master Card says, “Priceless”.

I was already a fan, but a free CD full of awesome honkytonk makes me even more fannish.

Dammit, Miss Leslie, why are you so cool?

Stormy: Just be sure to record it. It might end up in the bloopers reel of his next movie.

Now that I think about it, Jack Black sang pretty well in High Fidelity when he did “Let’s Get It On.” Maybe he’s more of a soul guy than a bluegrass guy after all.

You’re the kind of artist every fan dreams of, Miss Leslie. You make the time to sign copies, and even give them away for free.
I bought your current album back in August when I was shopping for music, and when your album was played in the store, I knew I had to buy this album.
I had to pay 200 NOK for it though, which is about 35 dollars!
It was worth every penny.

Lee Ann – just check and make sure that you took the NOSPAM out of the email address. Just send the email to info@missleslie.com to get it to me. I try to be careful about posting my email address places so I don’t get 50 emails a day about viagra! Ha! Let me know if you have a problem.

And thanks, Rainbow. That’s just ridiculous to have to pay that much for a CD. I’m very sorry about that. We send CDs to distributors and make half of what we usually sell CDs for and then for someone to turn around and mark it up that much is sad.

Thank you for the compliment – and Andrew as well.
