Night Sky Opry Where The Country Music Stars in Iowa Shine
Music, Music, Music

It has been way too long since I've updated this site. I kind of figured with Facebook, MySpace...This face, that space, that these single sites might not need much attention. I do hope that this site helps you find us this year. The show is in Leon during the County Fair, so come early and make a big day of it.
I've been writing, re-writing, co-writing and writing. Just when I convince myself that the music market is limping, I get a good wake up and realize that there's plenty to say. It's all in how you say it. Country music is holding up really well-amidst -free download sites and music sharing. All of that considered, the profits may not be what they ever were. right no, nothing is what it ever was.
I always suspected that in anything, nothing is what it seems. Suspicions are now denied--it is a fact....nothing is what it seems.
Keep your ears on Iowa artist, Neil Hewitt. He has cuts/originals on compilation CD's that are distributed to radio stations world-wide. I just hope that if the stage is what he really wants, he gets to Nashville where he can be in the business he wants to be in--Country Music.
I love the living here in Iowa. It is where I am from and where I have stayed. My advice to any country music artist is leap out of the corn and get your talent where your business is. Oh sure, you can grow corn in Nashville, but, country music stars are not discovered in Iowa. The people you need to meet, the experience you need to have is where the music is made. Music is a big, big business, and in case you have heard this said before, don't stop me cause I want to say it again, "If you are in Nashville and you throw a handful of rocks, you will hit a singer or a songwriter."
On another note, I encourage you to visit www.mokanopry.com to see a complete listing of country music shows. All it takes is a dash of adventure, a picnic basket and a few bucks to see some super talent and meet kind, happy people.
So, until I see you, God Bless you Big--and tell everybody when He does.
