writing competition at simcoe ontario last year they are currently awaiting a decision by anne murray as to whether she will record their song the music box written with stouffviue musician grant fullerton without a song a singer is nothing he said in a recent tribune interview youve got to have the songs thats the ammunition for me as a song writer to have lawnie with her vocal ability is like having a vehicle and the networking process is so impor tant getting together with other guys to write songs if it takes off then everybody wins thats how the big guys in the united states do it wallace who works as a printer to help make ends meet is hoping the recent resurgence in country music interest will enable him to achieve the kind of success he has been chasing for years i think were on the cutting edge right now i hope to put my best foot forward and i think its going to take off once we get one smash hit thats all its going to take wallace said the perception of country music as being for hill billies is long gone country rock has been big for a while with artists like eddie rabbit the eagles bob seger garth brooks and billy ray cyrus have brought more of an edge to the music theyve shown the young peo ple that country is okay theyve revitalized it and the kids love it pointing to the success of the new ciss fm toronto country radio station wallace said its simply a matter of giving peo ple what they want i think people were getting tired of things like rap disco and hard rock of having some thing rammed down their throats country today is honest and its making people dance as for the duo taking their place in the growing country success story the elder wallace said its a matter of being ready then waiting for a break we have a lot of work to do we just have to get everything in place youve got to get lucky youve got to have the right song the right place and the right time zflppiqn restaurant authentic greek food canadian cuisine also available
