I joined this forum just to yell you this myself:
I am SO HAPPY to tell you, that YOU JUST GOT YOURSELVES A SONG!
It's written for you, meant as a tribute, to you all and to your great community on the Forum. The song is called 'STEELERS OF THE WORLD'....it's ABOUT YOU and it's FOR YOU....in recognition of all that you do to keep Country Music alive, and to help each other cross all boarders, around the world! That is truly amazing and fantastic, and I admire that a lot! So....it's MEANT AS A TRIBUTE, but with 'a twinkle in the eye',... about my observations on you guys in 'the cult or clan'. Being married to a steeler, I have met quite a few from 'your clan' and found, that there seems to be a 'kind of pattern' that, (in my humble eyes), seems to fit to a lot of you! Love y'all for that!!!!
I wrote to you in August, via b0b, to thank you all, for helping me getting connected with Mike Headrick and his great Mikron studio, about a year go. At that time it was just supposed to be a 'once in a lifetime experience' to go to a professional studio in Nashville and get a couple of songs recorded, - just for the fun of it, and for my own pleasure! But now I have 'ended up' making a whole CD, which has just been released, - and I have actually been on the WorldWide 'Most Played Country Mainstream Artist Charts' 4 times + on the Danish, Swedish, Norwegian and Australian charts too....in just three months, because of just one song (the first: called 'It's Buying Time Again') that Mike / Country Discovery Records put on their Summer 2005 Compilation CD! Now DJs around the world has started to also playing all of my new songs that I just sent out, too, - including my tribute song for you! So you may hear it on your local Country Radio Station or at some of the Internet stations (Country Bear and PalTalk), or you may hear two minute samples on: http://cdbaby.com/cd/ullalindstroem - I hope you will like what you hear!
I am SOOOO proud! And somehow it all comes back to you and the Forum! So THANK YOU!
Well I bet you wouldn't call what I do for Country? From what I read on your Forum, it seems there is no clear definition as to what that is. So you may call it anything you like, (except bad please!), - some of it is even more swing than Country. But it IS recorded with, and produced by Mike Headrick and his fantastic Mikron Studio team, so it has got a 'Country flavour', I think....Well...you be the judges of that, if you ever hear it.
Anyway: If you like, you can read more about my story, on my homepage and on CD-Baby (with samples too). I will be real happy to hear from you, so feel very welcome to comment, write me, either here on the Forum, in my Guestbook or by mail. Any comments (except bad ones), will be great!
)So keep up your good work & network! Or should I say 'Heart Work'!
BIG SMILES & THANKS to you all, from a steelers wife
