Newsletter
- May/June, 2008
One
of these days I'll be able to get the newsletter out on
time. I am always so busy sometimes I bump into myself
trying to get everything done on time. Well the response
for last months add for new songwriters and music was
fantastic. I spent over a week making demos of all the
new songs we received. I must say many of the songs are
really great. Our artists will be so happy. We at TIMA
want to furnish the fans and radio stations with the
best music we can provide. TIMA membership is growing
and soon the world will be listening to and purchasing
your music.
We
are increasing the size of our newsletter beginning with
this issue. We are adding stories and interviews about
the members of TIMA and the music industry. I believe it
will help our members and encourage them to increase
their vision and take their music to higher levels. The
web-site for radio digital download and customer
purchasing is almost ready to spring into action. This
will make our music available world wide. We have an
ally in Branson that will be helping us get our artists
booked into some of the theaters and hopefully other
areas as well. It's hard to imagine how much we have
grown in just four months. We started on January 1st and
look at the phenomenal growth TIMA has had already. GOD
is truly blessing our efforts. I believe one day soon
TIMA will be the largest and most successful music and
talent provider in the world. TIMA is providing our
artists a chance to function in the music world and have
more control of their career than ever before. In the
past the record companies had all the control and made
all the money. It's time for the artists to have a level
playing field. As 1 close this portion of the newsletter
let me encourage you to contact me with your thoughts
and and ideas on how to make TIMA a better organization.
If you haven't joined yet you need to get on board and
be part of this ground breaking event in music history.
I'm always available to receive your calls and email so
don't hesitate to contact me with any and all concerns
you may have. Until next month remember the sky is the
limit so keep thinking BIG.
God
Bless You,
Roland
Wright

Notes
From The Chaplain
Welcome
everyone to "Pastor J's Tidbit"!
I
will certainly remember the day that Roland
walked into my office and shared with me the
possibility that he may be called to this
organization. Prior to making his decision to
pursue this calling, Roland did what many of us
should do prior to acting upon what seems to
always be an obvious opportunity. He asked that
we PRAY! That's right, PRAY! How does the
process work when you are faced with a decision
in your life? Do you take it upon yourself to
determine what you should do? Or do you seek the
counsel of God to assist you in the process? You
see, often times what seems like a great
opportunity for us in the beginning may not be
what God has in store for our future. That being
said, we also know based on the authority of
God's word that true happiness is found when we
are seamlessly integrated into God's will for
our lives! What am I trying to share with you?
It's all wrapped up in these timeless words of divine
implication:
"For
I know the plans I have for you," declares
the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to
harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)
Challenge:
Stay focused on God and the plans He has for
you! This will have a direct result on your
level of Kingdom prosperity from our Father in
Heaven! One good way to get your feet wet...
pray prior to your decision making process!

Forney
Opry
This
month we are featuring the Forney Opry
"The Little Building With The Big
Show" in Forney, Texas. The first
time I met Wayne and Penny Tywater was two
years ago when they invited me and my
group "2ndChance" to
sing at the Forney Opry. I have grown to
love them very much. They are a fine
Christian couple and faithful friends. Not
only do they own The Forney Opry but also
are great fans of the artists that perform
there. They treat each performer as if
they were their own children.
Wayne
was a professional and successful Country singer
traveling with his own band for many years. He
still sings every Saturday night along with the
other performers. While emceeing the show he has
an interesting way of sharing stories and comments
about some of the songs featured an the show. He
also gives little known facts about the great
artists in the music business. His favorite singer
is "George Jones". He has recorded a
tribute album on cd featuring some of George's
greatest hits, which I might add is as close to
the original as I have ever heard. George was so
pleased that he wrote Wayne a thank you note on
the inside cover.
Penny is one of the hardest working women in show
business. She has devoted her self full time to
the Opry. She is constantly working behind the
scenes during the show.
Anthony Perry
"Elvis" David Allen
Todd Maxwell
Every
Saturday night at 7:40 pm the curtains open to
thunderous applause and the show begins. Every
artist is pumped and ready to give it all for the
fans. The variety of music is very diverse, from
Country, to Gospel, to old time Rock & Roll.
And then there are the special shows such as
plays, Benefits, Comedy, and Christmas specials.
Many of the artists got their start right there on
that very stage. Every Saturday night after the
show they open the stage for auditions for the
newcomers. They even sponsor acting workshops for
aspiring actors in conjunction with "Montra
Studios". This is a great place to go on a
Saturday night for family entertainment. It's a
relaxed environment with tables and chairs to
enjoy burgers and refreshments during the show.
Forney Opry is one of the best organized shows I
seen in quite a while. I'm so impressed with the
talent that I have signed many of the artist's on
my own record label. We are currently producing
three cd's on them now and putting out a radio
compilation to promote to radio stations. It seems
that music has returned to its roots and Opry's
are springing
up all over the country with much success.
Ifor
one am happy to see it again like it was
back when the "Big D Jamboree"
and "Louisiana Hayride" was
going strong.I
have researched the internet and found
over one hundred and fifty in Texas alone.
I'm also happy to see the young people
embracing Country and Gospel music again.
It
would be worth the trip to attend The
Forney Opry on a Saturday night with the
whole family!
You
will want to come back again and again!
