<h2 class="headline">LETTERS TO THE EDITOR</h2>
<h3 class="subheadline"> Appreciates reading about Hascal Haile and Desert Rose Band</h3>
<p class="normalfirst"> I can't remember what I did to receive your charming publication, but I'm very pleased that I got on the mailing list. Networkin' is more than a hip buzz-word if ya ride on a mail train and ya thought you'd found a great lyricist in NV but he didn't like ya tunes....</p>
<p class="normal">Louisville must be a nice place. I knew Mr. Atkins (Chet) had been very pleased with one of Mr. Haile's gut-string guitars but I'd long ago given up on ever learning anything about the man who made them or what made them unique. I really appreciate the article on the Desert Rose Band....</p>
<p class="normal">Keep it cooking; I love your publication.</p>

<h3 class="subheadline">Looking for old rockabilly vets</h3>
<p class="normalfirst"> First let me thank you for your magazine. I enjoy it very much. I'm an old rockabilly and doing a book about the stars I knew and worked with. Also those who weren't big stars ... I need to find some of the old vets. Have rounded up quite a few but need more, as I want to make the book as good as possible&hellip;. </p>
<p class="normal">If you know anything about the rockabilly artists please send me info on them. If you know anyone who has pictures, clippings, interviews, etc., I'd appreciate those too&hellip;.</p>
<p class="normal">I'm now a DJ at WKMT, Kings Mountain, NC&hellip;. from 12 noon till 6 p.m. weekdays. If I can help any of your recording friends let me know. My format is country, but I mix in the early rockabilly.</p>
<p class="normal">Before I quit the road I played in your city and Ohio. In fact, all the way into Canada.</p>

<p class="normalfirst">A few lines to wish you continued success with <i>Louisville Music News</i>. I always enjoy reading each issue and like to be surprised by seeing a biography on an older country artist, or someone I feel I might be able to help in the business....</p>
