"we like your song 13 Candles. Its got a little of the swamp country sound. You've got a smooth silkiness to your voice. You should do a "you've done me wrong song. Maybe you are too young for anyone to have done yer wrong. Us cowboys here are bellying up to the bar for some new sweet country tunes. Try us on for size! We could pump you up the charts, if you give us a tune."

"I JUST RECEIVED "COME PLAY WITH ME" BY AMANDA SHELBY. I ORDERED IT WHEN I FOUND OUT ONE OF HER SONGS "13 CANDLES" IS IN THE SKY DIVING DOCUMENTARY "GOOD STUFF." IT'S MUCH BETTER THAN I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE. SINCE AMANDA WAS 11 WHEN SHE RECORDED IT, I WAS EXPECTING ROMPER ROOM SONGS. IT TURNS OUT SHE SOUNDS OLDER WITH GRADE SCHOOL AND JUNIOR HIGH THEMES IN HER SONGS. HER SINGING IS OUTSTANDING ON "YES," "I DARE YOU," "13 CANDLES," "60'S GIRL, "DO YOU BELIEVE?" AND "MALL PARTY."I PLAYED IT AT MY DAUGHTER'S 5TH GRADE DANCE AT SCHOOL. THE KIDS REQUESTED "YES" OVER AND OVER. MAYBE THE RECORD COMPANY SHOULD MARKET THE ALBUM TO A YOUNGER SET. BIG, BIG, BIG BOPPER"
