I'm sure most of you are painfully aware of the poor economy well it just poorer here as the US Postal Service in their infinite wisdom has once more increased it's already substancial

postal rates . So unfortunately we are forced against our better judgement to increase our track fee to offset the increased postage, ( which as i'm sure you can imagine for us is quite considerable)

So from Volume 61 the track fee will be $90 per track as the postal rates will probably rise once again in the winter we hope this track fee increase will enable us not to increase again for some time.

Of course we will endeavor to try to keep the fee below the $100 mark for as long as we possibly can. Thank you for bearing with us through this difficult period .

Yeah, BMI flat out told me if the airplay for the songs is in Europe, even if we DID get any money it would take two to three years! HA! I don't much care for the ASCAP/BMI system, but they're the only players and they seem to write all the rules.

I can already tell that I've sold a few downloads of 'Back to Country Time" on iTunes from the "popularity" bar next to the track name, but it takes them 4 to 6 weeks to report just how many. More "hurry up and wait" and more trusting a big old company to be honest with the little guy.

To tell the truth, I'm just excited that someone, somewhere is playing my song! Many thanks to Triple Strand!

Take Care,

Just a small development, that won’t really affect most of you but it’s to stave off all the emails I might get because of it. We’re going to have to do some regrouping here because of the economy, so starting with the next volume, I’m going to have to start combining the Americana compilation and the Country Volume to send out to the stations, simply to cut down on the amount of postage that it costs (and remember postage will go up on May 11th). So expect there to be a different appearance and sound to the cd—more variety. As well as saving us costs, perhaps it’ll nudge some of those completely country stations to throw some of the Americana music into the mix and verca vica. But those stations that normally don’t play one or the other will simply skip those songs, so airplay-wise, it won’t effect you, it just means everybody goes to all the same stations (and no having to pay 2 track fees to get to all of them). So it helps us, it lowers the cost for those artists who have a song that could go both ways and hopefully everybody will win as the djs realize variety will only increase their listenership. Also, it might ease some of the frustration for you artists because you shouldn't have to wait as long for a volume to fill and go out the door to the djs. Take care, and as always, direct any questions to me at my email

We’re going to be adding something new here at TSP (again), so I thought I’d give you the heads up in case any of our present artists might be interested. I have started both a syndicated show and radio promotion cd for Folk music (including all forms from around the world). So submissions for the show will work the same as always, we’ll need a broadcast release signed and the song sent via hi-fi (128 kbps or higher) mp3 to either my email at ddsj84@yahoo.com or Derek’s email at derek_mccorkell@yahoo.com

We look forward to this expansion of our capabilities to help artists and let me know if any of you are interested in this venture.

Hi , Everyone knows that today's economy worldwide kinda sucks, right ? Everyone is finding it hard to meet the bills and keep going. Well this hurts everybody ( unless you're a fat cat with a big conglomerate) most of us the every day Joe on the street knows all too well just how much the cost of just getting by has spiralled upwards. Leaving any of us with precious little to invest in our music.

So in an effort to help alleviate things a little we here at Triplestrand have been putting our heads together and have come up with something that really might help you get your music out there.And it won't cost you a dime, not a red cent, in fact it really could save you money and make you money at the same time.( We've heard that before ) I hear you say, but read on and you'll see exactly what I mean.

As Musicians in order to sell our music we need to promote it right ? Well as you know the cost of getting your track on to one of our Radio Promotions CD's is $75 a track , probably amongst the lowest track fees out there at present. But how would you like to save at least $25 on that price, or even $50 off it or what the heck get it for absolutely NOTHING AT ALL ? Yes I'm serious here with our idea you could easily get your tracks out there to Radio for absolutely nothing. There has to be a catch ? you ask. No , No catches, no tricks just plain incentive marketing.

Here's what we propose. You are a musician correct ? You move in circles where other musicians cross your path . Still with me ? Good, Well you and these other musicians get chatty, of course they play Country or Americana music too, and like you they are looking to get heard , hoping to boost sales of that great new CD they just pressed, but their fanbase is just too small . You mention that you get your music heard on AM / FM radio all over the world using our services and Radio Promotions CDs .They look puzzled so you direct them to us here at Triplestrand . And for your dilligence and effort we reward you with $25 off your next release with us for every accepted track that comes from an Artist that you direct our way. So if you sent 2 artists and both placed a track on our Radio Promotions CDs then you'd get $50 off your next release if you sent 3 Artists our way and all three put tracks out on our Radio Promotions CDs you get $75 off or in essence your next Release with us goes out absolutely free.But remember If you send an Artist our way and they don't get a track accepted on a Radio Promotions CD you get nothing you only get the $25 if they put out a track undestand ? It's a bit like a co-operative you help us and in turn we help you its a win win situation.

So if you send someone our way be sure to tell them to tell us who sent them that way if they put out a track you'll get credited for your part in getting them to us If you are interested contact Dixie at DIXIE MCCORKELL

If you do why not Advertise it on our sites either on our specifically designed sales Kiosk's or as a listing on our site at U-Ni-Que-Music.Com a site that we have designed specifically for Independent Artists to let the world know where to buy their CD's after all if people don't know you have one for sale they can't buy it now can they ? It does not matter WHERE you have it for sale just supply us with the appropriate link and the cover art and we will direct your potential customers to it . Remember WE DON'T SELL IT FOR YOU we just point visitors to where YOU SELL IT.All we ask for this service is $5.00 per month no minimum time limit or no maximum time limit all we can say is there is discount for extended periods ( anything over 3 months) the rate drops to $4.00 per month. If you don't want a banner ad why not a text link on our classfieds page at U-Ni-Que-Music.com at ONLY $2.50 per month thats more than affordable for most of us. Remember the key to sales these days lies in Advertising heck why do you think the Major Labels spend so much of their budget doing just that. Contact Derek at derek_mccorkell@yahoo.com and lets get your CD sales moving for you.

CHECK OUT OUR ADVERTISING OPTIONS, THEY'RE STARTING TO PULL IN SALES FOR THE ARTISTS INVOLVED FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD!!

VIDEO PRESENTATIONS BY SONG, OR BY ALBUM--THE COST EFFECTIVE WAY TO SELL YOUR MUSIC ON POPULAR VIDEO SITES LIKE UTUBE, MYSPACE TV,GOOGLE VIDEO,YAHOO VIDEO, METACAFE, GODTUBE AND TOO MANY MORE TO MENTION. TAKE A LOOK AT THE SAMPLES OF WHAT WE'VE ALREADY SPREAD TO LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF SITES AROUND THE GLOBE

Ok gang, heres the latest news. We're still looking for songs that you'd like to start the year off with for our compilations, (Country, Country Christian, Country Cover and Americana) The djs have been very good to us this year, so it's time to keep the momentum going with new releases. They've also requested that I start sending them some INSTRUMENTALS (original ones preferably) So talk to all the instrumentalists you know, and get them to submit them to me. They use them throughout the show, but mainly coming up to breaks for the news, etc and yes the DO mention who is the composer--so it's a great way to break into demo and studio work.

We still have our advertising packages for your cd sales. Some new options have been added, so take a look at that at

We've started actively soliciting sponsors for individual shows for our syndicated shows, so if you know people that might like to get advertising on one of the most popular syndicated country music radio programs, send them my way at ddsj84@yahoo.com We're charging a whole 3 bucks a month for sponsorship for the show--so a year's campaign for an internet based business will only cost $150 and we'll send sales their way from all over the world. Artists aren't allowed to sponser a show, it'd look like pay for play although you know that's not true, but businesses are welcome. So talk to your hometown businesses that sell on the web and if they're interested, send them along. We're asking for sponsors in an attempt to grow to even more US stations. That bit of money will help us with the expense of what would be necessary (phone calls etc) to contact those stations. So send your supporters our way.

Starting last week, songs that have reached the end of their run and are getting airplay on less than 10 stations per week will now be lumped into a category for each of you artists titled "Previously released Singles". This is an attempt to promote you in your best light, because we don't want the casual viewer (or not so casual viewer (labels, etc) who've stumbled on the site to think a song didn't do well simply because it's come to the end of a long and fruitful run out there on the airwaves, some songs for as long as 5 years. Also, this will put more focus on your most recent releases for anybody viewing them. Take care, and any questions, just drop me an email.

For those of you that missed the email, we now have a new service for you artists, so I'll repeat the email here. Most of you have websites, MySpace pages, etc. And we all know the popularity of UTube and how it's an easy way to reach thousands of people at once. The one thing they all have in common is video capabilities. With the advent of shows like MTV and now GAC TV, we as artists have a new 'venue' in which to reach out and build our fan base.

If you had money or backers, what does the typical Major artist do when they release a new single? Make a video to go with it and blast that area of the media with the video as well as reaching the various types of radio possibilities with the single. But as we all know, those videos COST and big time!! Derek and I have an alternative to that, which should fit into most everyone's budgets--video showcases. Instead of having the typical artist video shot at a studio specializing in such work, we take your song and add royalty free images (meaning you can use these videos ANYWHERE and anyhow you'd like) which match the storyline of your song and create the 'video'. Or some artists may simply wish to use still photographs of them and their band taken at venues during performances, etc.--to showcase the band and give themselves 'visual' recognition with their fans as well as the vocal recognition they're building up through airplay.

The cost?? It's not a complicated thing to do if you're used to working with graphic design and websites, etc. but it IS time consuming, so yes we'll have to charge for it. We're giving our own artists a discount and offering to do each video showcase for $50. Artists outside our group will be charged a flat hourly rate. Turn-around can be quick, a day or two, but availability will depend upon our waiting list (first come first served basis)

We've already done several for our own artists in the last few days and you can take a peek at those by heading to the video link on the front page and clicking on it to see the samples.

Those we've posted on over a dozen sites for those artist which got involved are already on hundreds of sites around the globe, having been picked up and spread because we make them embedable, so you can embed them on your own site, etc. It's an easy way to sell your music on sites that don't SELL music, only show videos LOL So if you like what you see, don't hesitate to drop us a line and we'll get started on yours today.

Triplestrand Productions Airplay Chart is now being produced in Downloadable .pdf format due to the fact that it had become physically unmanagable to continue to produce it in the format that it has been in ,also due to it's ever growing size and complexity it was taking up much needed space on the website server.
