Country music
Georgian is one
By JOE EDWARDS
Associated Press Writer
NASHVILI£, Tenn. (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

REALTY
dawn Conway had a personal
management and recording
contract.
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. I

Pulaski DAR observes
Constitution Week
In observance of Constitution
Week the Pulaski chapter,
Daughters of the American
Revolution heard Attorney
Howard Wallace speak on 3 of
the men influential in adopting
the constitution of the United
States of America.
He said George Washington,
Thomas Jefferson and Ben
jamin Franklin, none of whom
were lawyers, could have been
influenced by philosphers of the
French Revolution and were
often called indespensible
patriots.
The DAR met in their new
home, the Lewis-Mills house,
with Mrs. John H. Goddard,
regent, presiding.
Mrs. John H. Swanson,
National Defense chairperson,
urged all members to speak out
on political views by writing
their senator personally.
National DAR does not attempt
to advise members on how to

Log cabin firm
NORTH FORK, Calif. (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.
