ACLU Hits Cox Broadcasting

The American Civil Liberties Un-ion of Georgia and the Atlanta chapter of the NAACP have filed a petition with the FCC to force the Cox Broadcasting Corp. to di-vest itself of some of its media interests in Atlanta. The document claims that Cox "has a voice of monopoly" because of their control of radio and newspapers in Atlanta. The petition asks the FCC to deny

the renewal of WSB TV, radio li-censes controlled by Cox in Atlanta, and a cable TV franchise, Cox Cable Communications. Both major At-lanta newspapers are controlled by Cox Enterprises. Gene Guerrero, director of the

Georgia ACLU noted that Cox in-terests control media which receives 84% of the local advertising revenue. In a similar case in Albany, Ga. where a commonly controlled me-dia held 86% of local ad revenue, the FCC ordered divesture. A Cox representative comment-

ed that Cox will, of course, oppose the petition, further commenting that the company has a record of service to the entire community and that they believe they will have a satisfactory resolution.

Davis Out At WB Gary Davis was fired as head of

the National promo team at Warner Brothers Records this past Monday. No replacement has been named and no official statement issued.

Coury Confusion Last Monday's (311) Daily Variety

carried a front page story that Al Coury had reached a tentative agreement to become the president of RSO Records, a division of the Robert Stigwood Organization. Later that day a press release was

circulated from Coury's public re-lations firm that denied the story, noting that Coury is negotiating with RSO, but at the same time continues to talk with other people.

RADIO NEWS KCBQ'S "THING OF THE PAST"

WEEKEND KCBO/San Diego created quite a

stir when they began promoing that they were becoming a "Thing Of The Past." These promos brought on such response that over 3000 calls poured into the station, burn-ing out 2 phone lines. Over 1600 letters were received as weIl, telling the station "Please don't change." The culmination of the on-air teas-ers was the "Thing Of The Past Weekend," kicked off at 6pm on Friday when the station began pro-gramming all oldies, along with run-ning some of the super contests from KCBQ's past, including "The Last Contest," "The Great Rip Off," and "Keep On Truckin," all exactly as they had been run in years past. Airchecks of the station during the 60s and early 70s helped them bring back the past. On Monday, "The New Q" was introduced to San Diego with the entire day commercial free, and $100 bills given away after each

record played. STUDENTS GET INVOLVED IN

RADIO NEWS WNAMINeenah has been wel-

coming groups of high school stu-dents to their news department, where the students actually write up stories and deliver them on day newscasts. News Director Phil Snyder directs all the students' ac-tivities, and reports that the on-air results are excellent. WNAM's "Leap Year Weekend"

features a winner every 29 minutes. Listeners are trying their hand at writing special birthday songs for those Leap Year born folks who on-ly have a birthday every 4 years.

RErfl readers at 11Q/Puerto Rico recently told us about a recent promotion held by the station. For Valentine's Day, the station invited listeners to submit the largest Valentine's card. The winning card is displayed here by students from a local school who created it.

WLACINashville gave their listeners a chance to take part in their very own "Convoy" recently. The Convoy was led by the Charlie Daniel's Band's very own bus, and Charlie and Band participated in a special concert held immediately after the Convoy came to an end. Within one hour, the parade of WLAC listeners had grown enough to circle Nashville on the city's "inner loop." WLAC's Pat Reilly and Dick Kent are shown here with the concert crowd as they gave away the station's

"Sunshine Stickers" to the Convoy participants.

BUSINESS NEWS BUSINESS NEWS

FCC Denies License Of New Hampshire Stations The Federal Communications Commission, citing fraudulent billing practices has refused to renew the

licenses of WOT W-AM-FM/Nashau, New Hampshire. Owner of the station is Eastminster Broadcasting Corp. The FCC also noted other violations in the case including failure to log commercial material and failure to file financial and ownership reports. This case dates back to original false billing issues in 1972. In 1974, an FCC law judge proposed granting the license renewal and fining the station $10,000. The entire FCC decided against this course of action, giving the station a May 16 deadline to cease operations, or 30 days after any appeal filed.

FCC OK's International Broadcast Station Despite arguments from neighboring businesses in the Redwood City, California area, the FCC has

approved an international broadcast station in that city. KGEI will transmit direct to foreign countries.

Conflict in the case came from Mobil Oil Estates Ltd., who claimed that such transmissions could cause a number of problems, ranging from what they termed could be the possibility of raising human body temperatures, to interruption of other radio signals and telephone systems.

Copyright Revisions In Congress The long overdue revision of the U.S. copyright laws is now being undertaken by Congress, with passage

of the new bill by the Senate finalized recently. The House will take up the bill next, while working on their own version. The Senate's bill proposes to make it easier for public broadcasters to use copyrighted material, and would require cable TV to pay royalties to broadcast copyright owners. The bill would increase the length of copyright from 56 years to lifetime, plus 50 years beyond.

Brunswick Execs Convicted Brunswick Records president Nat Tarnopol and 3 other Brunswick executives have been convicted of

conspiracy to defraud the IRS, defrauding artists and writers, defrauding radio stations, and 22 counts of mail fraud. The others convicted in the case were VP-Sales Manager . Peter Gains, secretary-treasurer Irving Weigan and production manager Lee Shop. Acquitted were A R director Carl David and promotion director Melvin Moore. Carmen De Noia, a Brunswick salesman had been acquitted by the trial judge earlier. Sentencing for those convicted has been set for April 12. Penalties for the conspiracy charge are five years imprisonment and $10,000 fine maximum, and five years confinement and $1000 fine for each mail fraud violation.

The Friendly Skies Engage In Price War Trans World Airlines has begun radio and TV spots that basically boil down to an industry price war.

The spots announce lower night coach fares for East- West flights than competitive United Airlines. TWA's ads support the war by stating that these flights can save customers up to 35% over other prices. Most domestic airlines are increasing prices by 1% this month, with more increases set for the next 2 months.

Star Models Big Business In Toy Market Toy manufacturers are hoping for big sales on scaled-down models of current superstars. Among those whose

figures will appear on toy stores' shelves soon are Cher, O.J. Simpson, Muhammad Ali, and bionic woman Lindsay Wagner. Companies are hoping to create a surge of buying on these items for this year's Christmas season.

Olivia Endorses Pioneer Pioneer Electronics has pacted Olivia Newton-John as the first female star endorser of their stereo

components. The company will back up her upcoming concert tour in their ads. Other celebrity endorsers for Pioneer already include Elton John, the Allman Brothers and Blood, Sweat Et Tears.

Another Inanimate Pet King Jam'' based in Illinois has undertaken the marketing of the "Trained Stick" which comes

complete witn a manual on teaching your stick how to lean or play dead. Advertising has begun for the new pet on Chicago radio aimed at 18-35 year olds. The company hopes to move into national distribution on the item.

Zippo Lighter Promotion Zippo lighter manufacturer has planned a promotion featuring Zippo T-Shirts available to the public

for $3. Although ads for the promotion have not yet started, Zippo has been sending customers T-Shirts when they mail their lighters in to the company for repairs. As a result of the shirt's preview, the company has

received nearly 2000 orders.

Moving Expenses Not Taxable A ruling which states that funds advance to a company's employees for moving expenses are not subject

to withholding taxes has been broadened by a U.S Court of Claims. The new guidelines also hold that costs such as selling an employee's home and house-hunting trips are not services rendered by an employee,

and therefore are not taxable as well.

FTC Investigates Comparative Ads The Federal Trade Commission is looking into possible restraints used by advertising firms to restrict

product comparison in ads. Such restraints could be in violation of the FTC act, amounting to unfair methods

of competition.

Honda Sets Cycle Promotion Spot radio in the southwest and west will kick off American Honda Motor Company's motorcycle ad campaign

for the year. Theme for the campaign is "Honda-first. For good reason:" In addition, a spring "Honda Big Bike Bonus" promotion is scheduled for all media through the end of April.

KHO W Ad Campaign KHO W/Denver has planned a multimedia advertising effort to promote their morning team, Charley

and Marti. TV spots, outdoor advertising and print are involved in the push which is planned for the entire year.

I'm sure that you are familiar with the current McDonalds -You, you're the one.. we do it all for you" commercial. It is said to be one

of the most effective advertising campaigns to have come along in many a year. It's been so effective that it started some radio folks to thinking, and now there is a "You, you're the one" Jingle package. The package is by TM productions and its called the "You" package, and it has an interesting aspect to it which I think you should know about.

TM says it asked McDonalds advertising agency just what made the commercial so effective, and they say the answer they got inspired

them to come up with the "You" package. In fact one of the jingles sounds exactly like the McDonalds commercial. The concept behind "You, you're the one" according to McDonalds advertising agency was to make the listener or potential product buyer feel like the "star"

...like someone special. The McDonalds commercial, in other words, did a superlative job of stroking its potential buyer and that potential buyer having been made to feel good, became an actual buyer.

Well if it worked for McDonalds, why wouldn't it work for radio

TM thought?!...afterall radio stations should stroke their listeners, and

make them feel good for having listened. The concept behind the TM "YOU" is valid in that it deals with basic psychology...the psychology that people have a need to be stroked. Think about it if you haven't already. We all appreciate being told what great programmers we are, but even more importantly as people in our day to day lives we have a need tcr-be stroked. We look to be told that we've done something

well, that we have a nice car, a nice outfit, a great looking ol' lady. And speaking of your ol' lady she never gets tired of being stroked,

to be told that she looks good in that out-fit, that she looks nice, that you do love her. Well it's this basic psychology that TM addresses itself to. The "You" jingles tell the audience that "we do it all for

you"...that "you are the reason we do what we do". that "you are the star," not the radio station for having listened. By now I know you're thinking "what a plug for TM," but it isn't meant to be. In

fact, having heard the entire package I can tell you that I think its got its pros and cons in terms of how it's presented. But at any rate the psychology behind it is significant in my opinion, in that the broadcast industry appears to be readdressing itself to the psychology of holding

and attracting listeners. If this concept is further developed, it could become the most meaningful psychological tool to hit the industry since

Bill Drake popularized the Pavlovian Dog theory. you know everytime you hear a jingle you know a record will follow

RECORDS RECORD INDUSTRY NOTES

by Candy Tusken ElektralAsylum artist, Michael Allen, brought a refreshing change of

weather from the recent downpourings of Rock 'N Roll in L.& last

week with a briskly entertaining cabaret offering at the Playboy Club. The tall, handsome singer delivered lavishly produced sets of up-dated standards in a mini-Vegas style and despite the lack of tumbling dice, it was a rewarding evening for the recently signed artist who received two standing ovations from the SRO crowd led by such luminaries as Carol Channing, Mitzi Gaynor, Zsa Zsa Gabor, George Maharis, Ricardo Montalban, Jerry Herman (composer of "Hello Dolly," "Mame,") E/A President, Mel Posner, E/A VP Jerry Share!! and Freddy DeManr. Allen's producer, Snuff Garrott, was also on hand and said he is currently finishing Allen's new disco single titled "Something Super" which was written and arranged by Steve Dorf. A new album is forthcoming along with a full scale tour of major U.S. clubs...Gary Glitter called it quits last week anouncing he is retiring from this business of Rock 'N Roll with his upcoming U.K. tour in March to be his farewell performance.

A debut album is due in late March with the band's sound being compared to a progressive Crosby, Stills, Nash Et Young and The Eagles...

Laura Nyro has come out of retirement with the release of her first album in four years, "Smile," and is scheduled to tour every major market in the country commencing March 5th and continuing through the month of June...lt looks like Aretha Franklin is playing a major role in Curtis Mayfield's coming soundtrack of "Sparkle" with the twosome steady in New York studios working on material for the film...George Carlin was the first comedian to appear inside the walls of San Quentin courtesy of prison concert bookers, The Hells Angels, sans his usual levi attire due to prison rules forbidding such dress. Said Carlin, "they don't let you out if you show up in blues!" He was released after his performance...

After VARIETY's article about Al Coury accepting the presidency of RSO records, it is rather prophetic to learn that RSO's offices in LA are located on Sunset and Corey...Condolences to HUB members (formerly Rare Earth) who's keyboardist, Tom Baird, was drowned in a boating accident in Southern California waters last week...Arista's Clive Davis drew almost as many celebrities to his brunch table at the Beverly Hills Hotel the morning after the Grammys than the award show itself.

It has been released on Asylum Records.

The Spinners are due to cut two albums in a row with their steady producer Thom Bell for a June release...Former lead singer for The Chair-man Of The Board and composer of "Patches," General Johnson, is pursuing a solo career with Arista Records, presently completing his

"Double Trouble" from their "Gimme Back My Bullets " album and will be releasing that favored cut as the next single...Happy Birthday to Sam Emerson, Mercury's Suzanella Rogers, MCA's Mike Maitland and

Rocket's KiKi Dee, who all celebrate their days this week... Ronnie Lippin has resigned as National Director of Publicity for ABC

Many people were surprised.at the convention when they saw in the

pocket program, next to Billy Bass' name the word HYPE In big bold letters, in the place of the panelist's corporate affiliation During his session, Bass boldly stated, "The word HYPE is not a negative one when taken at face value. After all, whether or not we realize It or are willing to admit it, this is a form of showbiz, and promotion is a very necessary part of its system, a part I enjoy and am proud to be involved with." How honest and succinct!

We all seem to have a tendency to confuse ourselves on the subject of HYPE because the word is constantly used as a stable element when in fact it is a fluctuating one who's value can only be determined by each individual, relative situation.

Therefore, if someone makes the often bantered about statement that something is a HYPE, before any immediate reaction Is made or carried out, the statement should be qualified.

To begin with, there are two major forms of HYPE. One Is distortion of objective facts. An example of this would be the presentation of false figures to a trade (either on the part of a record company with sales ore radio station with airplay) to create false chart movement and numbers or undeserved laudatory labels. I can't think of anything good to say about this or similar practices. As a matter of fact, the word HYPE is too gentle to use in this case. The word lies would definately be more fitting.

The other use of the word HYPE is where we run into many mis-understandings and misapplications. This is when the word Is used to describe the degree of subjective support given a particular musical entity on the part of its proprietors. The degree and extent of an individual case of this kind of HYPE is measured by the margin of difference in the subjective action and reaction between the hyper and the hypee. The greater the distance between these two perspectives in either direction the greater the HYPE's negative connotation.

Programmers are often hypo-critical in their dealings with HYPE. On the surface it would seem that they react negatively to any excess of it. However, they also react negatively to a lack of it. That's what I mean by the margin being calculated in either direction between the hyper and the hypee. They often interchange roles.

Just as programmers resent a record company telling them that some-thing is the greatest thing since The Beatles and then find upon listening that it isn't (even if it may still be good) they also react negatively when something that they like and get behind doesn't receive as much support as they think it is worth. I've heard programmers say things to the effect of, "I like the record but I'm not going to play it because, Hell, if the record company isn't behind it, why should I be" or "I like the record but I'm afraid to go all out on it because I don't think the record company is going to give it the necessary push to make it a hit. I don't want to play a stiff."

Taking all this into consideration, every record seems to have its very own built in optimum hype range and if the amount of subjective support given that record on the part of the record company either exceeds or falls short of that range the results can be negative in terms of both airplay and future credibility. And I repeat, the range for one record is not necessarily the same for another.

Thus, it is very possible to ruin a good record's chances of making it (and there is always room in our success zones for a good record) by presenting it as being better than good. Programmers (who are not totally stupid) will react by saying, "That's not so great" as opposed to saying, "That's not bad." On the other hand, radio people really do feel foolish being put into the position of having to HYPE the record company on its own product.

Those generals who lay out nationally coordinated campaigns should be aware of this and make it their business to apply HYPE effectively in the manner that I believe Billy Bass meant in his highly unusual convention display and comment.

Programmers, on the other hand should not always hold misplaced and/or misused HYPE against a record.

One of the music world's more creative en-sembles. This album again features their full

bodied heavy textures. A group with a tremen-

dously growing following, their fans will not be disappointed. Their musical range here is full dimensional, from powerhouse bloodchilling

keyboard crescendos to mellow silky smooth harmonies. All cuts are strong. "Los Endos" is quite climactic. lAtcol

DR. FEEL GOOD

Dr. Feelgood MALPRACTICE

including i Can Tell

Back In The Night/Rolling And Tumbling Watch Your Step/Riot in Cell Block •g

Rock and Roll! There's absolutely nothing pro

tentious about this album. If Black Oak Arkan-sas came from England they would probably sound like Dr. Feelgood. Every cut takes about

one second to get Into if your listeners want to release energy this'll help them do it Take your pick. It's all even. (Columbial

.NELs°

He's at the height of his popularity after a long career and much of that support comes from AOR Radio and its listeners. Thus this can be

considered a major new album. Consisting mostly of ballads. Willie once again gets the opportunity to ;how hismarveious grass roots interpretive ability. "If You've Got The Money I;ve Got The Time' is a Progressive Country smoker. Check out "That Lucky Old Sun" "A-

mazing Grace" and "Night Life" from the "Med-ley" (Columbia)

PABLO CRUISE

PABLO CRUI§g

This is the second album for these smoothies, the first having been well received by AOR Radio. They've gotten more seasoned here and

the results of that growth are very pleasant Good combination of guitars, piano, and voices, Lots to choose from. "I Think Its Finally Over"

"Crystal" "Zero To Sixty To Five" and others.

(AEON/

This is going to be the first real big one for one of the world's smallest record companies. The reason for that is this album would be

envied by even the largest. There is very little wrong with this album spotlighting the talents of a marvelous new songwriter. performer. Every cut is strong, the production is just about perfect, and the back up musicianship is big league. A potpourri of tasty, easy to program songs that should not be overlooked. "Any Other Woman" "Worse or Better" "Satisfied"

(Beserkley)

ENO ANOTHER GREEN WORLD ENO

Music that makes the brain feel good. A very cerebral, yet simple album showcasing the

originality end genius of Brian Eno. Mostly instrumental with a few potent vocals this al-bum has both Progressive image content and commercial compatability. "Sky Saw" "St El-mos Fires" "I'll Come Running" "Golden Hours"

Chart Summary FRAMPTON is still the big-

gest turntable attraction in the nation. BAD and BOB maintained their relative strong position. LYNYRD came on like gangbusters. BOWIE, PHOEBE and 10CC basically maintained. BISHOP resurged with incredible air-play, an amazing turnaround. LE:1 M held firm. NYRO had her second healthy week. QUEEN was solid. STAR-CASTLE continues to be a surprise success story. KGB maintained. KING stayed. SWEET continues to grow. WRIGHT enjoyed a fantastic resurgence. JONI came back a bit. MULDAUR was the week's highest debut. MAC refuses to die and even nudged up slightly. HARPER debuted impressively. GROSS inched up. SUTHERLAND debuted well. IAN maintain-ed. JOURNEY is still doing alright. EWErF continue to get AOR play. FEELGOOD debuted. EXPRESS picked up slightly. KINGFISH de-buted. MURPHY debuted. WINTER had its second good week. BUTTERFIELD de-buted. CAPALDI and BAEZ bounced back onto the chart. MEOLA is hanging in there. Those stations on it seem to love it. CHICK COREA just missed making the chart. OUTLAWS (RCA), GALLA-GHER Et LYLE, and BOZ SCAGGS came close.

KOOL & THE GANG

They've developed far beyond their original hard core disco sound and that development is evident in this fine new album. Part studio and part live, we are treated to a marvelous blend of Soul and Jazz with that familiar hard driving boogie beat "Love and Understanding" "Hollywood Swi nging" "Come Together" Delite)

HEART

Very fine band from Canada, the nucleus of which is two talented ladies. The sound is re-miniacent of the old Rotary Connection. The music Is as colorful and tasteful as the packaging. "Magic Man" "Soul of the Sea" "White Lighting ft Wine" (Mushroom)

R&R COUNTRY HOTLINE:

(213) 466-9561

Direct From Duncan

Complete details of the upcoming Country Radio Seminar in Nashville later this month are featured in this issue. Hope to see you there. I'm producing the Country Radio aircheck album for this year's seminar, and I would like to thank the stations who ttok the tirrifj to submit an aircheck. If you haven't sent an aircheck from your station, sorry but the master tape is done. This year's album will feature a lot of key markets never represented on the annual LP, because I will be using

many of the airchecks from our Bicentennial salute to Country Radio stations we had at littR Convention '76.

CHANGES IN THE COUNTRY: TERRY WOOD has been appointed Operations Manager of WONE/ WTUE in Dayton, Ohio. He will no longer have an airshift TERRY DORSEY will assume the 3-7 PM airshift vacated by, Wood. Dorsey had been on the air at WTUE under the name of GREGG MASON...KLAC, Los Angeles has named DON LANGFORD to

the position of assistant Program Director. Langford will also be in charge of music. He replaces CARSON SCHREIBER who resigned last week. Prior to his appointment Langford was an Account Executive with KLAC. I personally will always know Don as "Mike Scott-KSON Traffic Reporter." Under that name Don used to give helicopter traffic reports on the San Diego Country station where I spent eight years... Speaking of CARSON SCHREIBER: He has just been named General Manager of the Country division of FARR Records, based in Los Angeles. Besides National Country promotion for the company. Schreiber will be directly involved in artist acquisition. He can be reached at (213) 550-8000...BILL COFFEY has left W MAQ as Music Director and mid-day announcer. He can be reached at (312) 593-8572. Coffey was replaced on W MAQ by JAY MARKS who most recently was with the rocker Y-100 in Miami. Marks worked Country radio many years ago in Kentucky with KENR's BRUCE NELSON...TERRY SLANE has been named Program Director of our Hawaii reproting station KAHU. DICK HONEYCUTT, formerly with W MAK, Nashville, has just taken over as General Manager of the station... WALTER MOORE has been appointed General Sales Mana-ger of WRCP AM/FM in Philadelphia. He comes from WCAU-FM in the same town...MICHAEL O'DAY is the new PD at KYAL, Plano Texas. He replaces the lat TOM McCALL...BOB BAR WICK, Music Director of WVVVA, Wheeling, has changed his air shift to 3-7pm. If you need to reach him you might keep that in mind.

Again a reminder: the number to call to reach the Country department of REtR is (213) 466-9561. If I'm not in, leave your report or information with our assistant Country Editor, NANCY HOFF.

SERVICE NEEDED: BOB COLE, all night jock at VVVVOK, Miami is putting together a trucking music special. Any trucking music, pat or present, you might contribute would be appreciated. Send to: Cole at W WOK, 16999 Coral Way, Miami 33415...BOB BERRY, formerly with VVVVVA, called just before our convention with the news WAJR, Mor-ganstown, West Virginia, will change formats in the next couple months. They will go to a 24 hour a day Country format on the 5K W facility. Any service of Country product would be appreciated. Berry can be reached by calling (304) 299-6305...KSON, San Diego is going to start a weekend Bluegrass music show. They need old and new product. Send to: KSON, College Grove Center, San Diego, Calif. 92115... WYTL, Oshkosh, Wisconsin needs LP service from all labels.

PROMOTIONS: JIM SHANNON of WIL, St. Louis started a promotion on his show where he was looking for a wife. He invited lady listeners to send a photo and other information to him. A drawing was held for a night on the town and a $200 wardrobe. All of the other jocks came to the dinner to keep an eye on Shannon and his date. WALT TURNER station PD, told me he could not believe the number of good looking ladies listening to his station... WMC, Memphis, has started a Bicentennial contest that involves asking simple, positive questions about American history. Prizes include tickets to shows, albums, etc...CHARLIE RUSSELL reports KHEY, El Paso has put together an "April Pool" contest. The station will give away a swimming pool. Listeners qualify by winning one of the hourly give-aways of LP's, etc. This would be a good sponsor tie-in promotion...BILL BARDEN of WISZ, Baltimore is giving away "Tax-payer Survival Kits." The kits include pens, pencils, mini-calculators and a WISZ "Crying Towel." It is a "call in to win" promotion...From W MAQ, Chicago, BOB PITTMAN tells of their latest contest which involved listeners sending in post cards for a drawing. Grand prize was a car. In two weeks the station received over 100,000 pieces of mail...As a tie-in with the big Houston Livestock Show, KENR, Houston got together with the 7-11 stores and had the station logo and jock pictures put on their "slurpy cups." In the market there is 211 stores. That's market coverage!...According to BILL ROBINSON of WIRE, Indianapolis, his station will be sponsoring, for the first time, a race car. The car will not only run in the Indianapolis 500, but also at other major races in the country. Car will be driven by JOHNNY PARSONS...Air personalities DEANO DAY and TOMMY DEAN of WDEE, Detroit, have accepted a challenge to wrestle a 400 pound, toothless, clawless (but rather mean) bear. If they can pin the bear down for 3 seconds, $1000 will be donated by the Michigan United Conservation Club to the Detroit Zoo.

Finally: Did you hear about the fly who was walking down the street with his "man" open?

Ranch includes a four-bedroom ranch house, a two-story tenant house, seven ponds, an indoor rid-ing arena and several barns and out-buildings. The asking price is $2,682 per acre for the 466 acre showplace on Berry's Chapel Road. 22 miles south of Nashville. "Attractive Owner Financing" is a further sales inducement.

HALL...

NASHVILLE SONG WRITER'S AS-SOCIATION membership were re-presented last week in Washing-ton urging Congress to amend the 1909 (that's right!) copyright law to give songwriters a living wage by requiring record companies to pay them 21/2 cents per record. The present .law sets the ceiling at 2 cents and this is often cut in half so that the composer of a hit with a million record sales often nets an incredibly low $5,000 for his work. Nashville Songwriters Association members who serenaded Nashville's new Congressman, CLIFFORD ALLEN, in Washington, were DON WAYNE (Country Bumpkin), KENNY O'DELL (Behind Closed Doors), EDDY RAVEN, PATSY BRUCE, and RON PETERSON, new President of NSA. ROGERS AND CO WAN'S MAE AXTON'S QUOTE OF THE WEEK: "Note to CHARLIE WALKER: If you lost your marbles, I know where they are. You left them in my office. What am I gonna do with them?"

Roy Clark's Russian Tour A Success

The Roy Clark Show, recently re-turned from an 18 day concert tour

of three Sovie cities, was such a hit that Gosconcert, the Russian cul-tural exchange organization initiat-ed an immediate meeting in Mos-cow with Clark's manager to dis-cuss a return engagment

Clark and company (Buck Trent, The Oak Ridge Boys and Sugah) also taped an hour long television

special in the Moscow network fac-ility, which services the entire coun-try. The show is scheduled to air

twice within the next several months to a potential audience of 400 mil-lion. It was the first time ever that a group of non-Russion entertainers had been invited inside the giant studio complex. Throughout the tour in Riga, Len-

ingrad and Moscow, The Roy Clark Show cast was treated to special courtesies by U.S. Ambassador Walter J. Stoessel, who hosted a press and VIP luncheon; and by the Leningrad Consul Genre!, Joseph Nueberg, who gave a similar recep-tion for the troup. The directors of two Houses of Friendship in Riga and Moscow also sponsored recep-tions and mini-concerts for their membership. Crowds were SRO at all 14 dates

and tickets in Moscow along wold

out in 90 minutes, with the militia being called out to restrain a rush on the box office. Clark was the first country music

artist ever to headline his own show in the Soviet Union, and also the first to lead a musical group abroad in the Bicentennial year. His invita-tion came jointly from the U.S. Stat Department and the Soviet govern-ment. Country music was the pop-ular choice because it is an original American music form, and Clark was specially chosen as he is par-ticularly adept as an instrumentalist Soviet audiences could relate to a show heavy in guitar, banjo and fiddle, and when he went into songs

and dialogue, a translater was used on stage with Clark. Roy was so taken with Russian

balalaika music that he hopes to bring a balalaika band to this coun-try for a series of joint perform-ances. And he is also talking of recording an album of Russian folk tunes "with an American treatment" "Our country music and Soviet

folk songs are a lot alike," said Clark. "The story they tell, even the sounds are quite similar, which is one reason I believe our show was so well accepted. The people could identify with the simplicity of U.S. country music."

WILLIE NELSON

The Sound In Your Mind (Colu mbia)

The second Columbia WILLIE NELSON has final-

ly arrived and it was well worth the wait. Using themusicians in his "fa mily" makes this

a very together album by proving The family who plays together is just that." A blend of

blues, country, honky took and even someti mes

classical makes this album a must for your listeners to hear and one you'll want to add to your home collection. The key to the "Willie"

succes is simplicity and this LP doesn't over-whelm you with production, but good music.

Simple and basic wth deep rooted emotion.

Best cuts: "That Lucky Old Sun," "I'd Have To Be Crazy." and "If You've Got The Money."

I've got a feeling the medley of Nelson com-

positions: "Funny How Time, - "Crazy" and "Night Life" despite its 830 time, will get a

bunch of well deserved airplay. Ilt will easily

replace -El Paso" as the favorite D.J. "Potty"

record.) Thank you Willie for another classic!

NARVEL FELTS

Narvel The Marvel (ABC/Dot)

Good music and good production make this a

sure winner. Felts continues to broaden his

base of sound. Best material: "Lonely Tear• drops," "The End," the Earl Grant blues classic

recut and "I Just Had You On My Mind:' a

fine ballad. Other possibles: "Don't Worry" and

"Blue Darlin." The single "Somebody Hold Me"

is a featured cut.

COUNTRY RADIO SE MINAR NAMES FEATURE SPEAKERS

NASHVILLE—The Country Radio Seminar, to be held March 19 and 20 at Nashville's Airport Hilton Hot el, has announced the scheduling of Tom T. Hall, C. W. McCall, and

Bill Anderson as featured speakers during the two-day dyna mics confab. C. W. McCall will deliver Friday's

keynote address for the opening day activities. Tom T. Hall is sche-duled to speak for the opening day luncheon activities. Bill Anderson will give the wrap-up speech on Sat-urday. This year's event under the di-

rection of Seminar Chariman Frank Mull and Agenda Committee Chair-man Bob Mitchell will entertain the theme "Country Radio No, 1: A Reality!" The registration fee has been established at $60 per person affiliated with broadcasting, and $75 per person with other industry affiliations. The registration cost in-cludes entrance to the seminar, luncheon on Friday, and one ticket to the "New Faces Dinner Et Show" to be held Saturday evening, March 20. The Seminar has outlined plans for a maximum of 500 registrants. Seminar Chairman Frank Mull not-ed that "early response has been exceptional and we can safely state that this year's seminar will be one of the most successful since its inception in 1969." Agenda Committee Chairman

Bob Mitchell, in coordinating the activities for the two-day confab noted the need for country radio broadcasters' involvement prior to the actual event: "We are in need or printed matter for display (i.e. rate cards, coverage maps, news-paper ads, printed station bio-graphies, etc.) and air check tapes. We are also requesting audio visual multi-media promotional materials for presentation. Specifically we are interested in materials you have successfully employed in selling your radio station to the public (i.e. TV spots, outdoor advertising) for panel discussions and demonstra-tions." Airchecks for the Country Radio

Seminar should be submitted to Jim Duncan Radio Et Records, 6430 Sunset Blvd. Suite 1221, Hollywood, California 90028. Printed materials should be sent to Shelly Davis, KBUL Box 9001, Wichita, Kansas 67212. Radio stations should submit audio visual materials, in the form of VTR/ film and slides to Bob Young, W MC, 1960 Union Street, Memphis Tenne-ssee, 38104. Something from every-one will be used.

Mitchell stated, "When you come to Nashville, be prepared for a work-ing seminar that will many times over justify the expense of attend-ing. As a general manager. I know the responsibility we accept for the total success of our station. The Country Radio Seminar is one very important meeting that keeps you current with ways to be successful in many areas of station operation. The seminar offers useful exchange and learning with hundreds of radio people from every size market na-tionwide."

sident of Promotion for 20th Cen-tury Records, has joined the Elektra-Asylum Country Division in Nash-

set to the Elektra-Asylum Country Division in his new capacity as National Sales Manager." Jim Malloy, the recently appoint-

ed Director of Nashville Operations for the label, told RE M: "I feel ex--

tremely fortunate to have a man of the caliber of Paul Lovelace join our Country team."

POP/ ADULT

NOTES BY MIKE KASABO

You'll notice that we altered this section's name to include the word 'Adult.' We've done so as to give a more specific definition of what, musically, our type of radio is about. Pop/Adult therefore, means the "most popular

music with adults." Instrumentals continue to play an important part in Pop/

Adult programming. This week we noticed the emergence

of Jean-Claude Borelly's "Dolannes Melodie" as a substantial record in terms of hot reports from several key stations.., it's now showing strong activity at K101, WHIO, KSL and KMBZ. The Chuck Mangione instrumental "Bellavia" also showing hot activity at WEEI-FM, WHIO, KCRA.

Olivia Newton-John (who's had her share of biggies in the past) has a new release written by two of the Bee Gees. It's mentioned here because I can't recall any previous ONJ getting more first week action than "Come On Over." In the Windy City, WGN's telephone circuit has been overloaded with calls for the French version of Roger Whittaker's "Durham Town." At this point the record is only available in Canada. Title is "Mon Pays Bleu."

Two new albums are getting strong support are: Cap-tain Et Tennille's "Song Of Joy" and Olivia Newton-John's "Come On Over." CEtT are getting good spins on "Mind Your Love," "Shop Around" and the title cut. Olivia scoring with "Pony Ride," "Jolene" and "Don't Throw It All Away."

We note some good activity on the Starland Vocal Band record, "Afternoon Delight" on Windsong. It's reporting hot at WSM jumping on the survey at no. 17. It was also added at WI P.

A re-cut of "I'm Your Puppet" by James Et Bobby Purify this time on Mercury has been doing well at KWAV and just went on KCRA.
