INDIE FEATURE PICKS 0 EDDIE REASONER: "Stand Your Ground" (Nash Angeles NA-82390) Producer Eddie Reasoner Writers: Jan Buckingham /Eddie Reasoner

The birthrate of patriotic times seem to be booming these days, but there are only few that pass the all-quality test. This cut, however, passes with flying colors

(perhaps red, white and blue) . The acoustic-flavored "Stand Your Ground" presents the lyrics we really need to hear—lyrics with heart, soul and a positive drive. "When you know you're right / You stand your ground" gives us the moral of the tune, but it's Reasoner who gives an excellent vocal performance. His sturdy, yet almost vulnerable, traditional voice comes through with complete sincerity—causing this release to be a complete success, whether it's tagged as being simply timely or not.

Disc Jockey Hall of Fame Foundation, announced today that the 1990 awards will 1 THE KENDALLS: “Put It off Until Tomorrow" (Ovation) not be presented at the annual R.O.P.E. banquet in October.

During 1988 and 1989, R.O.P.E. funded the presentations and used the Disc Jockey Hall of Fame awards as part of the annual October affair.

In the meeting that Chellman had with the R.O.P.E. board of directors, R.O.P.E. board members decided to curtail the involvement because of the lack of support and/or interest from country radio stations. During the past two years, cards, letters and flyers were mailed to country radio statons inviting them to participate in the R.O.P.E. activity, but R.O.P.E. received very little response to the mailers. Several board members felt that while the funds are available for the awards, they should drop them because, apparently, radio has failed to show interest in the country music legends who are already in the CMDJ, and in those who have been nominated.

Nashville's Ralph Emery was the Hall of Fame winner last year along with Don Owens, who won the award in the posthumous category.

However, R.O.P.E. officials are willing to fund the awards again in 1991 if the radio community does respond to the awarding of the plaques to country radio pioneers. Provided there is a positive reaction from radio, next year's banquet could have both the 1990 and 1991 winners presented. For more information, contact Chuck Chellman, Trustee, at (615) 320-7270.
