Story behind the song
Why this name?
I chose,"Spud Martin sample", from my pseudonym of years ago.
Do you play live?
I was affilated with a number of bands years ago, but now my involvement is solely with aspiring and professional artists, publishers and associated music media, to wherever it takes me to reach our goal.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
For the better. As a result I see a more level playing field.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Some of the folks I'm involved with may be doing just that.
Band History:
My band history is the many associations with past, present and future bands in promotion, recording and publishing.
Your influences?
I was affiliated with a number of bands years ago, but now my involvement is solely with aspiring and professional artists, publishers and associated music media, to do wherever it takes to reach our goal.
_______________
I promote free MP3 song downloads to the music industry and others for recording/licensing consideration.
_______________
Years ago I retired my, “Spud Martin Band”, for a more active role in music & songwriting. I'm involved in all facets of the music industry and have great “Hit” potential songs in all genres for all aspiring and professional artists.
_______________
I’d like to meet A&R Representatives, artists, and music media looking for that perfect song for that very “Special Project"! Your inquiries are always welcome. – email: wuttzituttzil@yahoo.com

Lyrics
DOING COUNTRY MY WAY
Artist: Rhonda Watson
DOING COUNTRY MY WAY LIVING MY DREAM
FROM THE GOLDEN GATES TO NEW ORLEANS
GUITAR AROUND MY WAIST MY OWN BAND YOUR OWN PLACE
DOING COUNTRY ACROSS THE USA
THERE'S EXCITEMENT ALL AROUND
WHEN YOU HEAR THOSE COUNTRY SOUNDS
THE FEELING THAT GOES RIGHT TO YOUR TOES
CALIFORNIA TO ALABAM THE LONE STAR TO DIXIELAND
PLAYING WHERE THE HOSPITALITY FLOWS
(chorus)
YOU CAN'T BEAT THE FUN OF A COWGIRL DOING COUNTRY
AND THE HAPPINESS WRITTEN ALL OVER EVERYONES FACE
YOU CAN'T BEAT THE LIFE OF A COWGIRL DOING COUNTRY
AND THE FOLKS YOU MEET AT EVERY COUNTRY SHOWPLACE
DOING COUNTRY MY WAY THE WAY THAT'S RIGHT FOR ME
THE OPRY IN NASHVILLE TENNESSEE
AND WHEN THAT BAND STARTS TO COOK
WELL I KNOW YOU'LL BE HOOKED FROM VIRGINIA TO MISSISSIPPI
THAT'S PART OF THE MAGIC DOING COUNTRY SONGS
PICKIN' AND PLAYIN' 'NEATH THOSE TWINKLIN' STARS
FROM THE FLORIDA SUN TO OREGON
THE DAKOTA'S TO THE GREAT YUKON
PLAYING WHERE THE GREAT COUNTRY PEOPLE ARE
(Chorus)
(Tag) AND THE FOLKS YOU MEET AT EVERY COUNTRY SHOWPLACE
