Goooooood Morning St. Cloud!
My real name is Corey but everyone just calls me Wilson...yes, like the volleyball!
Instead of typing an entire paragraph of boring info about myself, I've decided to let you ask any questions of me that you like by sending an email to wilson@98country.com and I'll post my answers on the web! It's that easy :)
I'm sure that the first question will be about the Elvis photo, so I will get that out of the way. I have a bit of an obsession with Elvis Presley...no, I don't believe that he's still alive but he has been spotted a lot in Foley :) My obsession began when I was two yrs. old. I was flipping through a magazine with my dad and came across an Elvis photo and I fell in love.
Here's your E News Update for Friday May 16, 2008:

Mutt was the first to make contact, reaching out to Shania and offering to produce songs for her after hearing samples of her work. They went on to work extensively, sharing producing and songwriting credits on Shania's multi-platinum albums.

Wilson's Video of The Week:
Sometimes it's fun to look back, so I've decided to post a country music video of the past every week along with a little bit of info on the artist and video. So send me an email if there's an old video that you really want to see!
“Junior” Brown was born Jamieson Brown on June 12, 1952 in Kirksville, Indiana. He learned to play the paino from his father “before he could talk”. His professional music career began in the 1960’s.
In 1985 Junior invented a double-necked guitar that he called his "guit-steel". When performing, Junior plays the guitar by standing behind it, while it rests on a small podium/music stand. The top neck on the guit-steel is a traditional 6-string guitar, while the lower neck is a full-size lapsteel guitar for slide playing.
In the mid-80's, Junior taught guitar at Oklahoma's Hank Thompson School of Country Music, part of Rogers State College where he met "the lovely Miss Tanya Rae". She was the woman who would become his rhythm guitarist, backup vocalist, and wife. They married in July of 1988 and currently live in Austin, Texas.
The video below won the CMA Country Music Video of the Year award in 1996 for "My wife thinks you're dead", which is a single released on the album titled "Guit with it" in 1993. The tall blond in the video is Gwendolyn Gillingham, one of the tallest known women at 6'7" tall! This is a great and entertaining video ... I hope you enjoy it!
