Letter on Shania's Wall Investment. The Timmins Daily Press website has posted a letter from a private citizen on the importance of an individual's investment in the Shania's Wall of Fans project: although the cost appears to be rather high, the person is defending the meaning of the project. "Yes, it's true I mentioned at the public meeting the other evening $100 US per person was a concern. On the other hand, however, discussion ensued, and it was agreed that if a group of people or a whole family wishes to have their name on the wall such as The Ginette Lafond family or Winners of the 2001 Bantam Team or Business so and so etc., they would qualify for a donation of 100 US per group not per person. This could amount to a few dollars each to have their name engraved in granite which would last for generations to come. Most importantly however, the profits from the money raised for the Wall of Fans, are going to feed the hungry children." To read the full artcile, go HERE !

Shania Fans' Reaction to the "Wall of Fans" Project. In today's edition of the Timmins Daily Press online, there was a letter from a Shania Fan from UK regarding the "Wall of Fans" project planned in Timmins. "WRITING AS A Shania fan from the U.K., I think that Andrea Loves' and John Korycki's plan to build a Wall of Fans is as exciting as Timmins decision to build the Shania Twain Centre... The concept of a wall engraved with the names of fans from around the world is to be commended and can only bring a further boost to Timmins tourism revenue. Where ever the eventual site is, it will be visited by thousands of Shanias family of fans every year commercial outlets in the area will be among the first to benefit from increased trade."

Shania sites also include articles and links to both The Daily Press and the City of Timmins Web sites.Twains European fan club (at www.shania.org) includes recent news about artist John Koryckis Wall of Fans project and numerous other articles that have appeared on The Daily Press site (www.timminspress.com)."

According to Neil...Record Label says "NO" Baby.  One question in this week's Neil Haslop's Q&A at countrystars.com was in regards to rumors on Shania's pregnancy: 
"Q: Hey, a radio station is reporting that Shania will not attend the opening of the Shania Twain Center because she is pregnant and that her due date is around the time of the opening. Is this true? The major reason why I think she isn't pregnant is because the public has not heard anything from Shania. (Kelly, Hayes, NC) 
A: First, the main reason you haven't seen Shania is that she has been busy working on a new album that is due out inAugust. Is she pregnant? No, says her record company. They have not received any news from Shania that she is expecting, so for now you can chalk this one up to the rumor mill. We would be surprised if she turns up pregnant, since she plans on touring after the release of the album." (Thanks Carrie and Cbspock, from the STNAOFC Messageboard !)

Q & A on Shania. The Q&A section at countrystars.com has currently some parts dedicated to Shania: "Q: What does Shania Twain do in her free time? Does she have any horses or pets? (Ashlee, Bluefield, WV) 
A: Shania Twain doesn’t have a lot of free time these days since she’s busy recording her next album. But when she has free time she loves to ride her horses and have her pet German Shepherd tag along with her. Also, for the last year or so she’d been studying the French language since she lives in a French-speaking area of Switzerland, plus French is one of her homeland, Canada’s, two official languages. 
Q: Are Shania Twain and Faith Hill friends? I always dream that I will be Shania someday. I want to be a singer and I listen to her music every day. (Kelly) 
A: As far as we know, Shania Twain and Faith Hill are not close buddies, but they are friendly and respect each other’s careers. For instance, backstage at last year’s CMA Awards Faith saw that Shania was waiting to face the press after her. Even though Faith didn’t have to introducer her, she was very gracious and complimentary when she did introduce Shania to the press. By the way, Shania Twain would be the first to tell you, or any other aspiring singer, to be sure you don’t copy their singing style completely. Be sure you find your own voice, your own sound and make that as great as can be before you try for that singing career." (Thanks Cbspock, from the STNAOFC Messageboard !)

Loretta Understands. From an interview with Loretta Lynn in Country Music Today magazine: "Question: How does the writing process today compare to, say, 30 years ago? LL: I heard Shania say on TV, "When I came to Nashville, they threw us in a room with four or five writers and wanted us to write from 9 to 5." She said, "I'm not used to that. I'm used to writing my own songs." And I said, "All right, Shania, you just got a taste of what I got a whole meal of." (A HUGE Thanks to Tides24, from the STNAOFC Messageboard !) 

Alan Jackson and the Shania Curse. According to an article at yahoo.com, Alan Jackson has had to come to terms with the new modern country music. "But like many artists who achieve veteran status in country, Jackson is feeling the curse as well as the blessing of experience. With a focus on youth and on songs that bear a marked pop flavor (like those of Faith Hill and Shania Twain), country leaves less and less room for performers who still hew to its traditional twangy, storytelling values -- as Jackson does."

Shania-related Valentine Song. From countrystars.com :"Shania Twain's "The Woman In Me" was written about how she was feeling at the first bloom of love between her and Mutt Lange. She says, "It's very romantic. That was one of the first songs we had written together. It came together very naturally and said all the things I wanted to say. I remember working that song out very clearly in my mind. All the things, just talking about what a woman really wants and how does a woman really feel when this happens". (Thanks Carrie!)

Toby Keith Sticks Up For Shania. From an interview Toby Keith did with country.com , he shows the other face of Nashville country artists: "I think crossover's great. I know one thing that's true, these people that criticize -- you need to go look at their record sales right this minute. Anybody that wants to criticize, better have record sales to back it up because Shania and those people that are getting the crossover stuff are getting record sales to back it up. It takes that kind of superstar power to make this industry sell records and be able to compete. If not, we're all gonna just become a niche in the industry, like bluegrass." Well said Toby! :) (Thanks Tides24, from the STNAOFC Messageboard !)
