About Us
The Western Music Network
I received a special E-mail Christmas Card last year; a friend
in the technology business was offering a link to a custom page
on his website that gave me the opportunity to select from a
wide range of music, up to eight holiday songs, which once selected,
were immediately compiled on a custom CD. This "On Demand"
Custom Mix CD was labeled with the songs I had chosen noting
title, artist and running time and mailed out within hours of
my order. My Custom CD arrived in a few days in a safe mailer.
What a cool gift!
So began my journey to create The Western Music
Network. I called my friend within days of receiving the CD
and asked about the technology…how it worked; and could
it work for any and all music. He placed me in contact with
the software developer who provided the history of development
from raising over three million dollars over four years through
a merger with Allied Duplicating (One of the leading video and
audio manufacturers in the U.S.) and the final work that brought
together the technology for ordering, administration, production
and fulfillment.
Now, here we are almost ten months later bringing
this exciting Music venue and ordering format to the Internet.
Our initial roster of artists is twelve, and all have demonstrated
their love of everything "Western" through their music
and poetry for many years. You'll know many of them immediately;
Les Buffham, Larry Maurice, Sourdough Slim, Dave Stamey, R.W.
Hampton and Jean Prescott to name a few. We hope to introduce
you to exciting new talent along the way.
Hopefully we have provided an easy format for
you to select an artist, sample tracks and most of all utilize
the "On Demand" selection feature to compile your
own custom Mix CD. If not, please let us know so we can find
ways to improve the features, format and instructions. These
comments should be directed to
marketing@westernmusicnetwork.com.
We will be adding selected artists every month
as well as additional tracks by artist. Our "On Demand"
format will be complimented with a monthly newsletter and listing
of other Cowboy Newsletter Outposts, reviews from respected
DJ's and most importantly from YOU in The Listening Post. We
have also added pages for Western Links, the Cowboy Corral and
the Western Radio Stations proving a listing of Western DJ's
and their respective stations both traditional radio and Internet.
We'll be hoping to add to the Wrangler's Den each month with
special value opportunities that may benefit our visitors and
members.
So, that's the background. Please tell your friends,
link us to your websites and help to contribute to the continued
growth of our Western Heritage through supporting these artists
and the Western Music Network website.
