Now in its seventh year, COWBOYS IN
CYBERSPACE remains the cornerstone of Bob Howe's Country Music journalism. Each monthly column appearing in Capital News magazine and on the Web, now also includes a DVD review and new photos. Capital News ('The Voice of Australia's Country Music') has changed too, from a tabloid to a glossy colour magazine.
The Web pages are read by fans not only in Australia, New Zealand, the USA, the UK and all of Europe, but also Mexico, Russia, Japan, India and Iran!
At the 2003 and 2004 CMAA Golden Guitar Awards Bob was reporting backstage via the Web site, sharing the results and displaying photos of the winners, trophies in hand, within minutes of each category being announced. SEE THE 2003 BACKSTAGE REPORT... and now 2004 ! ! |
