For those of you that have been here before, you will notice that some performers will be missing. We will no longer carry
people that have not done their part. It is difficult for us to understand why some people will take advantage of others
but we realize that is life. We do not charge our clients to put their pictures and other information on here, but we do
expect a little respect. Therefore, from this day forward only those that deserve to be recognized will be. I'm not mad,
but quite upset. My wife and I work hard to get people recognized and we do deserve a little bit more consideration for what
we have done.
Thank You
Michael James Caron

SHIRLEY RUTH CARON
We both lived in Taunton at that time and shared thoughts with one another as my marriage was similar to hers. In 1987 I moved
to Indianapolis and on December 22, 1988 Shirley moved here to be with me. December 22, 1988 is the last time that I have
had a drink. When I discovered how beautiful her poetry was I convinced her to submit them. She has won many awards over
the years for her poetry although never in the form of money.
Cliff Ayres, (Shirley's Producer) has helped her out along the way as well as myself. As Shirley began to gain recognition,
people wanted to promote her. Without going into details the promoter that she did have make big promises for payment up
front that never came. The promoter and her husband split up and the promoter burned her husband's utility trailer containing
a lot of artists master CD's including two of Shirley's. At that point I took over as Shirley's manager, we put together some
Showcases of Talent and the following year brought ten artists to the E.I.A. Cliff was impressed. So much so that when I
had some clients ready to record in a Major Studio he brought them to the Gene Breeden Studio in Nashville where a session
costs $5,000.00 and they were allowed to record for $200.00 We have brought him top notch entertainment including Robbins
& Wheeler who won the event and a $5,000.00 Recording Contract. We are ready to revive our Talent Showcases shortly
and will let you know when we do.

Shirley is shown here with her Shirley Caron's Bound for Glory
Band in Nashville. The band no longer exists, however if you would like to help her, she can regroup.
Early in 2003, Shirley decided that she was not going to write poetry anymore, because no one seemed to notice her talents.
I reminded her that she had told me on several occasions that GOD knew when the time was right to make things happen. Three
weeks later she received a Nomination form in the mail from Th Entertainer Indi-Association informing her that she was being
Nominated for Silver Writer/Artist of 2003. She called the number on the form and
spoke with Mister Cliff Ayres, the man who sang the original version of "My Blue Heaven." He informed her that
one of his clients brought a poem to him and asked if she could make a song out of it. Cliff told her that she could not do
anything with it without the authors permission. The song entitled "A Touch of Beauty" has since been taken over
by Mister Ayres himself who sings a wonderful rendition of the song. It was included on an Emerald Records compilation album
of twenty-one other songs and was distributed to over 50,000 people World Wide in the Fall of 2009. The song received a lot
of recognition and will be released sometime in 2010 as a single. Congratulations Shirley.
Reach for the stars, but always keep your feet firmly on the ground.
M&S Public Relations received the EIA GOLDEN Promoters & Artists 0f 2009 Award at the recent Entertainer Indi-Association's
40th installment of the EIA Awards Show in Nashville, Tennessee taped on the 26th and 27th of June, 2009. Shirley Ruth Caron,
Vice President of M&S Public Relations was also informed that her original song "A Touch of Beauty" will be
on a compilation of twenty one other songs by various artists and distributed to over 50,000 outlets World Wide. Congratulations
Shirley Ruth.

From 2003 Shirley has been Nominated for writer/artist, songwriter, vocalist and this past April she appeared with her newly
formed band "Shirley Caron's Bound For Glory Band." Although they did a Fantastic job and Shirley did a superb
job at "Tennessee Waltz" the band has since broken up. Shirley sings Patsy Cline, Connie Francis, Brenda Lee, and
several Gospel, however most of the band members want to sing Bluegrass Only. Dave Mansfield (The Drummer) is still on standby.
Shirley is looking for new members including a keyboard player.
This is Shirley with her band singing "Tennessee Waltz" at the E.I.A. Awards show in Nashville two years ago. Since
than the band members went their separate ways. This has been awhile now, and Shirley's health is not as good as it once was.
If there is a keyboard player in the Greenwood, Indiana area that would like to work with her on a few numbers, that would
be all that she would need. Shirley is 61, and cannot stand for any length of time, so the person would have to be patient.
She would prefer a female but a male will do as well. We do not have practice space, so that would have to be considered
as well. She has come a long way, and I would hate to see her have to give up her dreams now, after all that she has accomplished.
Our phone number is at the bottom of the page.
Thank you.
~Mike~
Cliff Ayres has met and befriended some wonderful people over the years. He is shown here with a young Florence Henderson.
Over the past fifty years, Cliff has maintained a clean, honest approach to the entertainment business and has refused to
represent anyone that did not. That has gotten him some resentment from those that feel that it is alright to produce hate
music because it makes money. We support Cliff's ideals and hope you will also.
Emerald Record's own Cowboy Allen Folse
Cowboy Allen Folse comes from the Great State of Texas and
signed on with The Entertainer Network a little over a year ago. He is a charismatic person with a great voice.
Introducing Rick Hager
Rick was born January 11, 1960, in Cleveland, Ohio. He grew up in the Cleveland area where he first started his music career
in Country music. Rick now resides in the small southern Town of Cambridge, Ohio. As a musician, Rick is a singer with a
Deep Country Heart and a guitar being his first instrument of choice, but also loves playing the piano as part of his show.
"The scene in Cleveland was a true variety mixed with Blues, Rock, and Country." he recalls. "I was a big
fan of the group Alabama as they kept my attention with the great harmonies they had. I got to where I kept a pretty good
following."
Introducing the Deep Golden Voice of Rick Hager
ItsAllAboutYou.mp3
LovingYou.mp3
ThanIHaveWithYou.mp3
The songs from Rick's first album called "It's A Shakin' Thang' are on the billboard charts of unsigned artists out of
Ashland, Ohio on WNCO FM 101.3 He is currently working with Carol Meenen (Senior Adviser for newly diagnosed patients with
Parkinson's disease) to sing two songs that she has written to help raise funds in hopes to find a cure. As you can see, Rick
is a person that often puts other's needs before his own.
As Rick moved the bar up each time promoting his first album "It's A Shakin' Thang", waiting and wondering which
one of his songs was going to be the one that would help him get his first big break. He never lost his focus and kept his
sights set on the challenge of success to stardom. Rick is also B.M.I. affiliated.
Rick Hager has come a long way in this past year. He is shown here performing at Nashville Lights. He now has a band called
Hidden Drive. The band itself is fantastic and Rick's Golden voice along with his excellent guitar playing do justice to
the band.
Butch Bailey from the Hidden Drive Band is up next. He is shown here performing at Country Corner.
SHERRI
LYNN is BACK!!!!
In 1999 Sherri was doing good for herself.
Not only was she getting recognized for her talent as an accomplished Gospel singer, she was helping others to be recognized
as well. Sherri had a local T.V. show where she displayed the talents of local artists. Things could not have
been better. Than, tragedy struck.
After a long and painful recovery process, Sherri
Lynn was ready to get her career back on track, but GOD had other plans. While
driving in her car, she was struck by another vehicle, sending her back to the hospital for another round of treatments. Tears
flowing down her face, Sherri was determined that she would not loose her FAITH in GOD or in herself. She continued to write beautiful songs, practice her vocals and volunteer wherever they needed
a singer.
We are very proud of Sherri Lynn and her courageous battle to beat the odds. I am pictured here with Sherri Lynn at Lizards
Tavern. I will be putting up another picture with Sherri, myself, and my beautiful wife Shirley Ruth. My wife is very self-conscious
about her weight, however she is just as important to our organization as I am, if not more. Sherri Lynn will be at the 10th
and Holt area along the marathon route. She will be teamed up with Mark Sweetman and together they will provide some great
sounds ranging from Gospel, Country, and Nostalgic pieces. Be sure to get there early.
Although the whole day was wonderful and the music was fantastic, this was the highlight of my evening. Shirley has been
having a lot of medical problems and her feet have been swollen. She was in her wheelchair the entire day. Sherri Lynn's
son Mark and his girlfriend Ashley helped to push Shirley around, as did Mark Sweetman. Shirley asked me to dance. I remember
the days when we would dance the whole night through and when I see couples on the dance floor smiling and enjoying there
time together, I wish for those times to return. When you truly love a person that love has to be unconditional. You can't
love them during the good times and walk away when things get rough. When you look at the earlier pictures of Shirley you
see a vibrant, happy person. That person is still in there, but it is difficult to smile when you are in so much pain. Therefore,
this picture means a lot to me. When she lifted herself out of the wheelchair she said, "Honey, you're going to have
to support me." to which I replied, "That's why I'm here." Love totally and that love will be returned ten
fold. So, now you know what our business is really all about. We need money to keep us going, but we need Love to see us
through. As I watched Mark and Ashley pushing Shirley I noticed the smile on their faces. Mark Sweetman is local and we have
been in contact with him a lot more. Two years ago, when Shirley was trying to put her band back together, Mark was willing
to help her. Others felt that they did not want to be bothered with someone that was handicapped in any way. When we look
down upon others, how will we feel when the day comes when we are in that same situation? There are vocalists and musicians
throughout the world that may not look like movie stars or be able to stand up at a microphone, but produce the most beautiful
sounds in the world. Should we tell them that their dreams are not possible? Should we tell the Susan Boyles of the world
that we will take their voice but not their face? Or should we wake up and realize that this is not a perfect world, never
has been nor never will be. If you have a dream, but your not perfect, contact us. My dream came true on that dance floor.
It is a start. Now, let's start working on your dream. Get out of the wheelchair long enough for just one dance because
it will lead to many more.
GOD BLESS YOU

Contact us if you need him.
After graduating from Centenary, Chuck was employed by the Juvenile Court for Caddo Parish as a Probation Officer (1980-1986).
This position allowed him the chance to positively influence troubled youths with his trust, patience, and understanding.
He often would give free guitar lessons to juvenile delinquents in hopes of redirecting their interest and building self
esteem. Even so, his yearning to be a musician remained strong.
Chuck's next two years were with Western Union
in Dallas, even though he continued to hone his musical skills by performing nights and weekends. He subsequently returned
to Srheveport, where he joined his stepfather as a partner of the Red Wing Shoe Store. He worked hard to build the Red
Wing business, but remained determined to keep his music alive. By this time, Chuck had begun writing songs. In
fact, Red Wing was promoted for many years by a commercial jingle that Chuck wrote during this period ("Make Your Wings the
Best Friend Your Feet Ever Had").
We are very proud to announce that Chuck Kesilman has also signed a Recording Contract with Emerald Records, he will also
be included in the E.I.A. Summer-Fest Awards Show and he will also be appearing on-stage at the Nashville Palace. What makes
Chuck Kesilman and Sherri Lynn different from other artists? Although they have our support, they also believe in themselves
enough to promote who they are and what they do. This makes all the difference in the world. Chuck's wife Bonnie has been
a tremendous help in helping us help him.
Here is another picture of Bonnie. I believe she is trying to hide her can of Coca Cola. If you look closely you will see
one of Chuck's fans bringing up the rear.
Music is medicine for the soul.
Michael Deese is shown here with his Dad LeRoy Deese on Stand up Bass. Leroy Deese has the distinction of being Elvis Presley's
first Bass player in the early 50's when Elvis was still playing small clubs and church's.

Okay, now you've got my mug!! I am very proud of the accomplishments that my wife has made. She has been invited to participate
in the Famous Poet's Fifteenth Anniversary Convention in Reno, Nevada for a chance to win up to $25,000.00 This will be a
dream come true for her. In October she will be attending the E.I.A. Awards show as well. No matter if you are young or
old, or whether or not you have a disability, never let anyone stop you from achieving your goals or seeing your dreams come
true. We feel that we are right for you because we have felt the heartaches and dissapointments that you have felt and we
can help you by getting you the best possible prices right across the board.
This is a picture of Shirley when she was 38. To look at this picture you would not think she had a care in the world. At
14, Shirley discovered that she suffered with Epilepsy. A few years later in the early 70's Shirley suffered an industrial
accident and rupturing her lower spine had to have two steel rods inserted. Although she now suffered with both the Epilepsy
compounded by the steel rods that would make most people give up, she followed her passion for writing poetry. In 1984 while
crossing at street in her home town of Taunton, Massachusetts she was struck down by an automobile because the driver could
not see her as the sun was blinding him. She suffered many bruises and a broken right leg in six places below the knee, three
of which have never healed. I had known Shirley then for about eight months and already knew what a wonderful women she was.
What I had not known at that time was that the man that she was married to at the time would beat her up several times a
week (To keep in practice.)
The state of Texas has produced a lot of great singers over
the years, and with the right representation they can be known for their talents World Wide. This is the direction that
Cowboy Allen Folse is taking.
We would like to extend a Heartfelt God Bless You to you Rick, and to all the brave men and women from the past, present,
and future who have loved our country enough to defend the freedom for which it stands. In 1960, I was declared 4-F for two
perforated ear drums. Three years later, after several trips to the doctor, I took the test over, passed and served in the
United States Air Force from 1963 until 1968. We support all great artists, however we take special pride in supporting those
who have served their country and help to keep us free. GOD BLESS YOU!!!
With music in his lungs and God in his soul, Rick has always known that he has been in the right places at the right times
and he always performs giving his audiences what they came to see and he has made a mark that will follow him all the days
of his life. Pastor Glass is proud to have him by his side.
How many Entertainers can actually say that they have been to the Grand Ole' Opry??? This is a dream of many artists and
one that has already come true for Rick Hager.The life style that you lead and the company that you keep means a lot.
It was during the winter of 2007 that Rick thought that this was going to be the year to finish his first album being greatful
to having his own studio and being able to play all the instruments on the CD except for the Steel Guitar, where he was helped
by some friends who were very accomplished in that field. After he had pressed a thousand copies of his original song which
he made available for sale at all his gigs. At the delight of many of his female fans, he would autograph them as well.
Seeing that his Fan base was growing, he felt that it was time for him to take the next step and began his adventure in Nashville
in May 2008.
This is Rick Holt from the Hidden Drive Band recording the son "Let Go"
This is Rick Hager (I've heard that name before) with the Hidden Drive Band recording "Marie Laveau"
Shortly after Sherri Lynn left the hospital for the second
time, she learned that her mother was dying of Cancer. Sherri wanted so much to get her career on track, however she
was the only one able to care for her mom. She would perform locally, when she could, however Family was much more important
for her than a career. We would like to extend our condolences to Sherri Lynn at this time as her mother recently lost
her battle to Cancer. GOD BLESS you Sherri for your stength, your courage, and your commitment to Family.
It is a long, rough, and rocky road to the top.
Sherri has fallen, but has never refused to get back up again. If anyone desreves the recognition it is she. M&S
Public Realations is very proud of the determination that this girl has already shown and we know that you will be also.
She has not had time to form a permanent band as yet, however she can work with a house band or she does have sound tracks.
She is willing to open for a Main act or Be the Main act. If you would be intereseted in having her perform at your
club, church, or organization contact us at michael_caron2942@hotmail.com or you can contact her yourself by going to her profile page at myspace which is http://www.myspace.com/ace_rakes Normally we don't allow this as some of our clients have taken advantage of it and not told
us when they have secured steady empolyment however we trust this girl completely. Be sure when you visit her myspace
page to invite her to be your friend. She will be the best friend that you ever had.
We are proud to announce that Sherri Lynn has been accepted to perform at this year's 500 mini marathon which will be on May
2, 2009. As soon as we find out what location she will be at we will let you know.
it's nice to have angels around when you need them.
Sherri Lynn is planning to be back in Indianapolis on May 1st in preparation for the 500 mini marathon, however if you would
like to book her any time during that week, along with Mark Sweetman get in touch with that funny looking guy standing next
to her. Her voice is powerful, and her Gospel songs are meaningful and thought provoking. With Sherri Lynn, teamed up with
Mark Sweetman you will have the best of both worlds.

Sherri Lynn received the EIA Platinum Female Artist/Writer 2009 Award at the recent taping of the EIA Summer Fest Award
Show that was taped at John A's Restaurant on Music Valley Road in Nashville, Tennessee. Plus she was asked to be Co-Host
for the Show. When taping was finished Sherri Lynn was informed that she will Co Host the show in October and beyond. Plus

weeks.) For more information contact Brad Lorton (Mr. B) at (317) 919-4622 or e-mail sonandmrb@netscape.net Be sure that
you let them know that your information derived from our website.
Mark not only showed us that he is a well rounded
musician with his performance at our Showcase but also that he is a helpful person as well. He offered to take pictures
as well as help arrange the acts as well. We will be asking Mark to open our next Showcase on Thursday, April 2, 2009,
with another wonderful song. We want to give this man as much exposure before the camera as we can. Mark, Well
Done, my friend. It was an honor to work with you.
While still employed at Caddo Parish, Chuck performed
at such diverse locales as Centenary Coffe House, Blarney Stone, and Humphries in the Square. It was at the Rusty Nail,
however, that his performances gained recognition by his soon-to-be manager, Sam Talsky, who recognized the musical potential
in this young man.
You can see by now that Chuck has had many crosses
to bear, but he never abandoned his love for music. He also served as the Disciplinarian of University Elementary
School. He had a unique relationship with his students, who referred to him as "Mr. K." His greatness in
the position was recognized from the manner with which he used his music as a catalyst to influence his students. He
performed morale-boosting impromptu concerts at many of the area schools, achieving extraordinary results. Many of these
youngsters have now advanced to high school and beyond, but they still remember "Mr. K" as their musical hero.
Chuck Kesilman received EIA's Most Promising GOLDEN/Writer/Musician 2009 Award at the recent taping of the EIA Awards show.
He also signed a contract with Emerald Records to have his original song "Hey Rah! He's the Guitar Man" included
on the Twenty-one song compilation that will be distributed World Wide. After taping of the show was completed, Chuck had
the chance to talk with Cliff Ayres at the McDonald's Restaurant. During their conversation, Cliff told him that he likes
his style. He further explained that he will be touring Germany later this year and asked Chuck if he would like to tour
with him. Another Great opportunity. Congratulations Chuck.
As a caterpillar transforms itself into an awesome thing of beauty, so a great singer/songwriter, musician transforms the
air around him into a place for happiness and joy.
If you are vacationing in Mountain View, Arkansas and you hear some lively music coming from the square, head on down to see
and listen to Michael Deese and friends. It just may be the highlight of your vacation.
For people in the Greenwood, Indiana area. If you are a vocalist, Duo, Band, or Karaoke singer and you would like us to promote
your talents for Emerald Records, we do charge a $100.00 fee. However, if you have a computer tower with a built-in cd burner
with good memory, we are willing to accept that in payment. It does not have to be new, however it must have good memory.
If interested, contact us at (317) 887-2819. If you get the answering machine please leave a detailed message.
Thank You
~Mike~

Introducing the reason behind M&S Public Relations and Family Values Promotions and Vice President of Both Organizations,
SHIRLEY RUTH CARON!!!
Although her medical conditions are not getting any better
and some are getting worse, Shirley always maintains a pleasant smile for everyone she meets. Her goal is to help as
many people as possible to reach their goals because as long as you keep trying, eventually you will make it.
Shirley and I were married on August 19,1995. It was truly the happiest day of my life. We have seen some good times, but
many more bad times, but we have seen them together. We have been hurt by people in the past, but we have consoled each other
and moved on. I want to say at this time, "I love you baby, more and more each day."

Rick Hager and the Country Hoodlums
During his seven year stint in the U.S. Army Rick was stationed in Germany for his last three years where he had a local band
called The Country Hoodlums. They played on the Club system and enjoyed a large following of Fans all over Germany. We at
M&S Public Relations (aka) Family Values Promotions, do not want to skip over this information lightly. We are honored
to represent those artists that have shone a LOVE for our country and have put on the uniform of our Armed Forces and decided
to make an effort to keep our country FREE!! Rick not only did his Patriotic Duty freely but when it came time to pack his
belongings and come home, he decided instead to re-enlist. That in itself is showing a True Love for his country, however
he took the extra steps to show what American's are truly made of by teaming up with the locals, forming a band and touring
the country. This, my friends, is the True Spirit of what American's are all about.

Introducing Lewis Ramey from the Hidden Drive Band practicing in his garage. I sure hope Lewis lives in the country.
Finally from the Hidden Drive Band we have Dearl Holt performing at Country Corner. Ladies, what do you think? Would you
like to see this band perform?
To learn more about the Hidden Drive Band and their scheduling and availability log on here. Remember, Tell them Groucho sent
you.....I mean M&S Public Relations
For those of you who follow Country/Gospel music, this
beautiful face will look familiar to you. Sherri Lynn lives in Olive Hills, Kentucky and was well on her way to achieving
her goals as a Country/Gospel star. However, back in 1999 tragedy struck, that forced her to put her career on hold.
Sherri Lynn is pictured here with her daughter Dawn.
Sherri Lynn is more comfortable singing for Church Groups, Corporate Functions and Festivals, however as we knew that she
would be in Indianapolis on April 16th for briefing on the 500 mini marathon where she will be performing with Mark Sweetman
listed below, we did not have much time to find a suitable venue for her. Lizards Tavern agreed to allow Sherri Lynn to do
a couple of numbers before their band showed up. This agreement came on April 15th, therefore Sherri Lynn had no prior knowledge
of the commitment. Sherri and her family left Olive Hill, Kentucky at 6:30am, drove for four and a half hours and arrived
at our apartment at 10:30am. We had already arranged a Noodle Taste Testing event at The Noodle Company that had just opened
in the Greenwood area. This was from 1:00pm until 2:00pm. We taped a commercial at the event and when we were finished there
we basically had to rush to get her downtown for the briefing. After the briefing we went back to the apartment for about
a half hour before heading to The Lizards Tavern. We arrived at Lizards around 7:00pm and were greeted by Mark Sweetman who
had arrived early. I would like to point out at this time that Lizards Tavern is mostly Hard Rock and Heavy Metal, so bringing
a Country/Gospel artist in there was like sending the Christians to the arena and releasing the Lions. When Sherri Lynn began
her performance a strange thing happened. The people liked it. I had advised her not to do that many Gospel songs and she
complied, however as we were packing up because the band said that we had to leave, the waitress called me over and said that
Dennis wanted Sherri Lynn to sing a Gospel song. I told the waitress Missy, very pretty girl, that the band said that we had
to leave. Dennis owns the tavern and his daughter Liz runs it. Dennis went over. talked to the band leader and told Sherri
to sing as many songs as she wanted to. It was a very enjoyable evening and the applause from the audience was fantastic.
This Christian beat the Lions. Way to go, Sherri Lynn.
We have an update on Sherri Lynn. She did perform at the mini marathon to the delight of many of the runners. Along with
Sherri Lynn was Mark Sweetman and a Fantastic Country Artist by the name of Mindy Britt who we hope we can introduce to you
shortly. Sherri Lynn also signed a contract with Emerald Records in Nashville, Tennessee, will appear at this years E.I.A.
Summer-Fest Awards show that we believe will be taped on the 26th and 27th of June at the Famous Nashville Palace in Nashville,
Tennessee. On the 25th of June, Sherri Lynn will be performing on-stage at the Nashville Palace. Her Motto is Follow Your
Dreams and hers are all coming true.
If you would like to learn how to promote your music yourself while you are waiting for someone like us to stir you in
the right direction, follow the link below.

CHUCK KESILMAN-Twelve-String Extraodinaire
Shreveport native and Captain Shreve High School graduate Chuck Kesilman received his first guitar at the tender age of
14. After becoming frustrated with learning to play an "F" chord, he threw it out the window! During his years
attending Centenary College (where he followed up his Bachelor's degree with a Master's in Elementary and Secondary Education
(1980), he became so excited about The Beatles' music that he purchased a book of their songs and proceeded to learn everything
in it, even though he doesn't read music. During his senior year, he performed his first concert at Centenary's Amphitheater,
receiving a standing ovation from his graduating class for his outstanding performance. Since then, he has become a master
of incredible detail on his famous 12-string guitar.
Talsky encouraged Chuck to move to Denver to work
with Nero Enterprises as an opening act for Julian Lennon's concert at Red Rock. His show was a tribute to Julian's
father, the Late John Lennon, where he was hailed as the "World's Greatest Single Solo 12-String Beatles Guitarist." He also
ignited audiences at elite area night spots, confirming Talsky'sexpectations, who estimated he would reach Super Stardom within
the next two to five years. Unfortunetely, due to Talsky's sudden and untimely death, this would not happen so soon.
Grief-stricken and without a manager, Chuck left his dream behind and moved to Dallas.
When you have a beautiful supportive wife like Bonnie by your side, how could you possibly go wrong? Bonnie has supported
her husband through the years without ever tiring of doing so. Congratulations Bonnie.
