Excerpts from
Still Lovin' the Ride,
The Janet McBride Story
"Mama was
only 4'11,"
so regardless of how small Daddy
may have appeared to others,
to her he was a big man."
"If only I
had curly hair,
maybe I could go to school, too!"
"(Mama) had
us singing harmony
by the time I was six,
which meant that Danny was only four."

"She was
determined to learn how to make this wonderful
(yodeling) sound, now matter how irritating it
might be to those around her."
"McBride had not
made a favorable first
impression on Janet and she even
had a fleeting feeling that she
should maybe put some distance
between herself and this young
man."
"Janet's name
was not included in the Hud
credits, but the nice paycheck
she earned softened her
disappointment in the omission."
"It was
primarily the late night DJs who
brought Janet's name back to
radio."
"Putting
Claude McBride to work tending
bar at one of the biggest night
spots in the country was like
throwing a T-bone steak to a
hungry dog!" |

Two years in the writing, this biography of
Janet McBride has been called "a great read!" It's
a recounting of Janet's fascinating life, the dreams she
held from a young age, the ups and downs, her two
husbands, the hits and the misses in the entertainment
businesses...and finally the passion that defines her
life now. A treasure for any music fan, any
reading buff, and anyone who just loves to read the
story of a life well-lived!
Still Lovin' the Ride,
The Janet McBride Story is written by Mary
Schutz and Janet McBride (with Pat Boilesen) and is your backstage pass to
life in the entertainment worlds of the West Coast
during the 1960s and Texas and Nashville in the 1970s
and 1980s. Included are stories about the
not-so-wholesome nightlife of the Los Angeles area
during the 1960s, the trials of carving out a music
career, the joys and challenges of producing and
presenting a weekly music show, and the pleasures of
mixing traveling and music. It's a journey full of hope
and sorrow, always fueled by the strength of the dream
to make it to the stage of the Grand Ole Orpy.
