 Greetings!
Alright, it's time for another batch of great music for you members of our Downlow'd Music Club.
This new batch of tunes come from our pal Morris Beegle and his Big Bender Records, headquartered just down the road from us in Loveland, Colorado. Big Bender's a shining example of the many upstart, forget-the-mainstream music labels that provide the nation with its best music.
Big Bender's bands play hard-scrabble, All-American roots music that stretches from stone-cold honkytonk to outlaw country, roadhouse rock and supercharged forms of bluegrass. Buy CDs from the artists showcased here at at our Downlow'd Club, tell 'em we sent you when you place an order and get a special bonus CD of grade-A music from Big Bender.
Know your target audience. Who are your most important customers, clients or prospects, and why? Know what is important to them and address their needs in your newsletter each month.
