(AP) - Nashville is jammed with per sons using various methods to get into the country music busi ness. They trudge door-to-door along Music Row, seeking someone to listen to a song. They station themselves outside recording studios, waiting for a star who might help them out. They also send letters and demonstration records and tapes. Hundreds arrive daily. For Dave Conway of Royston, Ga., the mail-in maneuver worked. He signed a recording contract and made the national charts through what his produc er, Howard Knight, calls “a one in a million” chance. He owes it all to his wife, Mary Ann. She saw an ad in a trade magazine from Knight’s record company. Posing as a fan of Conway’s, she sent the com pany a copy of a record her husband had cut on a custom label several years ago. “Dave has that atmosphere about him that makes you know he is pro material," she wrote the company. Conway soon got a call from Knight and a few days later the two met in Royston. They had a midnight snack and before OPEN HOUSE SUNDAY 1 to 5 P.M. Hous.

Within a week, he was flown to Nashville and recorded “If You’re Gonna Ix>ve (You Gotta Hurt),” which made the 60s of the top 100 on the national charts. “The business is so com petitive, he’s one in a million,” Knight said. The irony is that Conway himself had been sending let ters and tapes to Nashville without success. And he had never seen the letter his wife sent. “I got refusal letters from ev erybody in the country,” said Conway, who recently gave up a record store he operated. “Over the years I guess I sent 300 to 400 letters. I used to send tapes in a big box just to be different and get attention. What’s funny is that I’d been sending all these letters and then she scores with one. “I was to the point where I’d put all I could into it. I also had been going to shows (in Georgia) and pitching songs. I’d always had a lot of compliments but that’s as far as it went. I’d done everything. "When Howard called, I didn’t know what was going on. But I didn’t have any money so I didn’t take him too seriously.

(AP) — Using old tools and methods, a small company here offers to build you the log cabin of your dreams. John Somerville, an ex- Marine and head of both the company and school, said the work is done predominantly by hand because to date they have found no better way. Selected trees are cut and the logs hauled to the location where they are peeled, dried and then hand-notched.
