Hi friends,
If you are one of those folks who have been thinking/wishing/dreaming
about having a home business and has been looking at this
course, READ ON. I'm telling you right now, you do NOT
want to MISS OUT on this.
We've gotten several questions and comments about this
course from lots of folks, so I'm going to try
to answer these all at one time for you:
Okay. Here goes:
Q: What exactly are all the bonuses you are offering to purchasers of Steve's course?
A: You can see a partial list of them at http://www.homewaypress.com.
When all was said and done, I ended up with several additions
to that list on our Double CD Package.
Here's the run down:
Disk I:
High Profit Bookselling from Home (mp3 audios & PDF ebook)
Product Launch Secrets Interview (mp3 audios / highly recommended for everyone!)
Disk II:

In addition, this CD includes the following unadvertised ebooks:

The World's Most Perfect Publishing Business (.exe file)
Article Cash
The Newbie's Guide to Online Profits
Simple Guide to Starting an eBay Business
Public Domain Bonanza (PDF ebook and Quicktime movies / in a zip archive folder)
Needless to say, I consider each of these resources to be
VERY helpful and recommend each one highly.
Not every item will pertain to every project
you may be considering, but these have all been
hand picked to fit seamlessly with Steve's course,
and you'll find the information in these extremely useful.
--------------
Q: Are the bonuses you are offering IN ADDITION to the ones Stephen is
offering?
A: YES. Steve's bonuses are time-sensitive, meaning you have
to be one of the first 50 or 100 to purchase. Our
bonuses are for anyone who purchases the "Sites that Sell" package, IN
ADDITION TO whatever bonuses you qualify for from Steve.
---------------
Q: How do I get your bonuses?
A: When you use our link at http://www.homewaypress.com
to purchase the course, just email us a copy of your
receipt. After verifying that your order came through our website,
we will ship out your Double CD package from here (separately from
Steve's course, which he will ship to you) via first class mail.
---------------
Q: How long are your bonuses available?
A: As long as the "Sites that Sell" package is available.
That would be until THIS COMING SUNDAY, so time is of the essence!
---------------
Q: Can I get your bonuses if I purchase Steve's course
from someone else's recommendation?
A: No, sorry, but you MUST follow the instructions on our site and use
the order button there in order to qualify for our bonuses.
---------------
Q: Well then, can I purchase just your bonus package separately?
A: Yes, you can purchase our bonus package by itself for $199
if you wish. Just email me at homeway@scrtc.com if you would like
to purchase this package a la carte, and I'll send you a Paypal
invoice.
---------------
Q: So what do you REALLY think of Steve's course?
A: I truly believe if you have been wanting to
put together an internet home business, but so far have
not really gotten anywhere, this is a no-brainer.
You NEED this course.
It is the BEST "hands on", step-by-step tutorial
I have ever seen. Steve makes it "do-able" even for non-techies,
and cuts through all the bells & whistles that sidetrack folks.
You don't need or want to start out trying to put together
something with a bunch of gimmicks. You want to put together
something that has been proven to WORK and can provide you an INCOME.
This course gives you the ability to do that. All you have to do is to
follow the plan.
----------------
Q: But I think the price of this course is too high!
Why can't it be cheaper?
A: Yes, I agree. the price tag is high.
But you get what you pay for.
Let me speak plainly for a moment and ask:
What is your family's future worth to you?
This is more than an ebook, more than a set of videos, more
than some CDs. You must consider this an
INVESTMENT. You need to get your head around this concept.
No other business can be started for so little that
has so much potential for returns. You are making an investment
and commitment to your family and your financial future.
You know, you can sit on a fence and talk and dream
about someday starting some kind of business online...
But let me tell you, TALK and wishful thinking DOES NOT
accomplish anything.... and weeks or months down the road, you
are likely to still be there just talking and dreaming about
what you would like to do. This is decision time. Can you afford
NOT to take action?
----------------
Hope this answers a few of the questions you might have
about this course and our bonus offer. Please drop me a line
at homeway@scrtc.com if you have any other questions...
but don't wait TOO long... the clock is ticking and the
final day you can get this course and all the above extras
is THIS SUNDAY.

Stories about American Composer
Stephen Foster
Dear Friends,
Spring
has really sprung here in Kentucky now, with a glorious blaze of green
in the fields, the redbuds in full bloom, and the dogwoods about to
bust wide open. It is our favorite time of year, and we are outside as
much as possible, working the garden, fiddling with outdoor projects
(building a barn for Jessica's new pony), soaking it in and loving
every minute of it. Spring always brings to my mind the melodies of
Stephen Foster, so we thought this week we would share our love of
those songs with you. Hence, this special Stephen Foster week!
Songs of Stephen Foster: An AmericanLegend This
excellent episode of "Cavalcade of America" relates how Foster's music
captured the heart and ideals of pre-Civil War America,and his
influence on our culture today. It is both a songbook of Foster's
classic tunes, as well as a mini-biography of his tragic life. Included
are several wonderful Foster compositions, including "Beautiful
Dreamer" and "I Dream of Jeannie". Originally broadcast on April 9,
1940.
The Story Behind the Song: My Old Kentucky Home
Next,
the story behind Stephen Foster's classic song,"My Old Kentucky Home".
We especially enjoyed this program, as we live less than an hour from
the real "My Old Kentucky Home" and have visited there many times. It
is a magical place. We hope you'll enjoy this touching, bittersweet
story of the Old South too. This was an episode of "TheStory Behind the
Song", and was originally syndicated to radio stations in the late
1930s!

The Biscuit Eater
Dear Friends,Life here on the homestead always
includes pups and dogs, including lots of strays who occasionally stay
on to make this their home. Such a dog was Shiloh, who showed up at our
place one winter day several years ago. She was a sweet little hunting
beagle some hunter had dropped off or forgotten to pack back up when he
headed for home.
Now... at the time, we were still new to "country living" and we were
not familiar with the traits of hunting beagles. This one seemed to
have a wandering spirit and the kids wanted her to stay HERE, so they
penned her up in Susan's garden until she would eventually figure out
where "home" was supposed to be. Oh, she was as sweet and loving
as she could be, as long as the gate was closed.
But just barely open that gate, and she would instantly bolt off into
the brush, hunting anything that moved and howling that high pitched
beagle "hunting yelp". (When we first heard it, we thought she was
dying, lol.) This went on until the kids -- afraid she would get lost
forever in the woods -- frantically tracked her down and carried her
back to the garden.
Well, about the first of April that year, Susan decided she'd had
more than enough of this intruder into her domain, so she just... let
her out.
Off she went into the woods (Shiloh, not Susan), on the trail of a
hundred imaginary rabbits, howling and hooting as usual. Only this
time, the kids did not chase after her. Instead, we waited to see what
would happen.
After a few hours, Shiloh came trotting back out of the woods and
looked at us for a minute, as if to say "Well -- I'm doing MY job, so
why aren't you doing yours? Come on!" Then she immediately bolted into
the woods again.
A couple hours later, she came back again... stared at us... then took off once more.
An hour later, she came back once more... stared at us in a kind
of droopy, stupid, worn out way ... and promptly flopped down by the
backsteps and slept the sleep of the dead.
Well, that was her first day of "freedom" around the homestead, and
everyone learned to relax and accept her for what she was -- a dog who
HAD to hunt, no matter what. We quickly figured out she pretty much
knew where "home" was, so we just let her come and go as she pleased.
And after a few more days of "going hunting" almost constantly, we
finally decided that she really liked staying here after all. She would
usually get in one good "hunt" during the day and an even longer one
each evening, but spent most of her between time sacked out next to the
straw bales in our shed.
Shiloh was already an old dog when she came to live with us, but
we enjoyed her loving but stinky company for several years before she
bounded off to the happy hunting grounds last summer. In fact, one of
the pups she gave us several years ago is sitting at the doorway of my
office looking in at me right now as I type this. His name is Luther,
and though he is one of the laziest dogs we've ever had, he can hunt
with the best of them when he gets a hankering to. (That's Luther, with his mom, Shiloh, in the photo above.)
Which all leads me to this week's "living books for the ears" story. "The Biscuit Eater"
is about "good for nothing biscuit-eating little beagle" who wasn't
expected to amount to much... but the faith of two young boys bring out
the best in him. It is a great "boy and his dog" story by Mississippi author James Street,
which was made into a movie twice. It reminded me of Shiloh, chasing
panicky rabbits through the thickets, while broadcasting the yodeling,
bloodcurling howls of a happy hunting dog out in the woods doing what
they do best. I guess sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do,
you know? Enjoy!
Once upon a time, long, long ago...
Qualities
such as LOYALTY and HONOR and CHIVALRY were not laughed at, but instead
were highly prized virtues.... And the chance to prove what you were
made of could be waiting for you just around the next bend in the road.
Our newest collection, "KNIGHTS,
KNAVES & KINGS", takes you back to those days of history and
high-adventure. If you've gotkids who have a taste for living history,
adventure, and old-fashioned values, we'd highly recommend you give

Free! Living History for the Ears Download Page Dear Friends,
Next week here in the United States, we will honor two of our
greatest Presidents, George Washington & Abraham Lincoln -- by sort
of smooshing both of their February birthdays into a single
"National Holiday". For most folks, it will be just another
chance to get in an extra three-day weekend, but any good
homeschooler worth his/her salt will grab hold of any excuse to
look back at the history of our nation and learn more about the
men who made it great to begin with. Well, we're here to help you
take advantage of this teachable moment, this week and next. So,
in honor of Abraham Lincoln's birthday, which actually occurred
on February 12th, but is celebrated as part of President's Day
next week (Feb. 20th), we present this week's classic and classy
program...
Abe Lincoln Speaks
In this episode of "Recollections At Thirty", a retrospective of
radio's early days, we hear some fine dramatizations of Abraham
Lincoln's speeches. Raymond Massey on "The Rudy Vallee Show"
(1938) performs the stirring conclusion of " Abe Lincoln In Illinois,"
with Lincoln's farewell speech ashe left Illinois on his way to
Washington DC and the presidency. Next, we look at Lincoln's
Gettysburg Address. It was just 10 sentences,only 272
words, and lasted only 2 minutes, 35 seconds -- but those few
words still echo across the years today. Alexander Woollcott
(speaking in 1939) has some fascinating comments about both the
content of that speech as well as the circumstances under which it was
delivered-- that we frankly never even thought about before. This
episode of "Recollections" originally aired on February 13,
1956.
Bonus ebook:
CHILDHOOD STORIES OF WASHINGTON & LINCOLN!
As an extra bonus resource for you, this week we are also giving you a copy of the excellent little ebook, "Childhood Stories of George Washington & Abraham Lincoln" by Ann Tatum.
This great little book contains some delightful true stories of
BOTH of these great men when they were young boys. These are
great "read aloud" stories for the whole family.

Free! Living History for the Ears Download Page Laura Ingalls Wilder's THE LONG WINTER Dear Friends,
This week at homeschoolradioshows.com, by
popular demand, we again present this fine radio interpretation of
Laura Ingalls Wilder's "Little House" book, "The Long Winter".
This Ingalls family is quite different than the one you saw on TV,
but it is a very faithful adaptation of the book, and is quite
entertaining. If you love the Wilder books, you'll treasure this. This
broadcast was originally aired way back in 1950 on the radio version of
the Hallmark Playhouse.
Also this week we bring you a fun episode of Sgt. Preston of the Yukon,
details on our "make your own radio show" contest, and a first look at
our new collection "Knights, Knaves & Kings!" You're invited to
come by and take a look -- and a listen!

Free! Living History for the Ears Download Page Dear Friends,
Okay... HERE'S a great history/government lesson for your kids today...
What would life in our United States be
like today if each of our 50 states was completely free and
independent... as was outlined in our original Articles of
Confederation?
It certainly wouldn't be anything like you or I are familiar with. In
fact, life would be INCREDIBLY different than what we know today! In
this week's "living book for the ears", listen to this fascinating
story and hear for yourself why our forefathers SCRAPPED our original
form of government and instead created our "magnificent posession", the
Constitution of the United States! Your kids will long remember this fascinating "lesson"!

Edgar Allan Poe's
The Raven
plus
The Adventures of Baby Snooks
Dear Friends,
Well, after four weeks of coughs and stuffy noses around here, I THINK
we are all just about through with the flu around these parts. It has
been fun to snuggle down on the couch with some hot tea and listen to
some radio shows more often than usual, though it still doesn't make up
for feeling generally yucky most of the day. Hope you and yours are
staying well. (PS. Make the kids wash their hands often!)
Okay... Now, on to the programs of the week:
The Raven
by Edgar Allan Poe
 “The
Raven”, first published in the New York Evening Mirror on January
29, 1845, isone of America’s most famous poems, partly as a result of
its easily remembered refrain, “Nevermore.” The speaker, a man who
pines for his deceased love, Lenore, has been visited by a talking bird
who knows only the word, “Nevermore.” The narrator feels so
grieved over the loss of his love that he allows his imagination to
transform the bird into a prophet bringing news that the lovers will
“Nevermore” be reunited, not even in heaven. This excellent recitation
by Nelson Olmstead features a brief introduction about Poe andhis work,
and has a nice, creepy musical accompaniment. Try reading along as
Olmstead performs this classic American poem. This was originally
broadcast on "World's Greatest Stories" WAY back in 1939!
Resource: The text of "The Raven". Read along!
Resource: Here's a fine resource page about Poe and his works.
Baby Snooks Goes to the Opera Next,
on a much lighter note, we have a fun 15 minute edition of the US
Treasury Department's classic radio program, "Guest Star", featuring
the one and only Fanny Brice as Baby Snooks. In this program, Daddy
wants to broaden Snooks' cultural horizons and decides to take her to
the opera.But in true Snooks fashion, disaster soon follows.

"history" of the celebration of Thanksgiving, dramatizing the Pilgrims'
first Thanksgiving celebration... General George Washington's
Thanksgiving proclamation...and Abraham Lincoln's reason for declaring
Thanksgiving a national holiday. There's also some wonderful music on
this program too, which is probably our all-time favorite
Thanksgiving-themed radio show. This program was first broadcast

Dear Friends,
Ever wonder what "school" might be like for your kids if you were living, oh, say, 150 years ago?
This week's "living books for the ears" audio program looks back
at what some "country schools" really were like 150 years ago.
THE HOOSIER SCHOOLMASTER by Edward Eggleston was a famous novel about
an enlightened schoolmaster in the fictional Indiana community of Flat
Crick, and recounts all sorts of fascinating details about life in the
mid-western American countryside in the 1850s. Though the book inspired
two movies and was a best-seller for decades, it is pretty much
forgotten today and is not currently in print.
So, set the kids down and give a listen to some of the shenanigans and
adventures that might have taken place back in the days of the one room
country schoolhouse, and be glad this sort of thing doesn't happen in
YOUR homeschool... or does it? lol!

Fairy Tales!
Dear Friends,
It's Fairy Tale Week here at homeschoolradioshows! We have THREE classic fairy tales for you to "tune in" and enjoy:
The Twelve Months
The
Twelve Months is a classic Czech folk tale that has been told and
retold for centuries. This version of the tale was originally broadcast
on the children's radio program, "Let's Pretend" on September 6, 1947.
Resource:The text of the original Czech folk tale, "The Twelve Months"
The Chinese Nightingale
Next,
we have an excellent adaptation of the Hans Christian Andersen's
classic fairytale "The Chinese Nightingale". This episode of "Let's
Pretend" was originally broadcast on July 26, 1947.
Resource:Here's the complete annotated text of this story with links to further pages.
Cinderella
as retold by the Great
Gildersleeve!
And
finally, our favorite version of the classic story "Cinderella", as
retold by the one and only Great Gildersleeve (Harold Peary). This tale
from the album"The Great Gildersleeve tells Stories for Children" is
delightfully witty and entertaining. The lovely music that accompanies
the stories was composed and directed by Robert Emmett Dolan -- who was
musical director on many radio programs in addition to providing the
musical scores for several feature films. The dance song in Cinderella
is an especially fine piece.
Enjoy!

Lost Tales Dear Friends,
Because of an unforseen interruption
here on the homestead,
we will be sending out this week's
"living book for the ears"
tomorrow... but for now, we wanted to go ahead
and let you know
about our newest collection... 
"Forgotten Tales of the Revolution"
We have listened to ALL of these and
they are absolutely fascinating tales.
Except for some sketchy details from
our American History book, these were
all stories, characters and events that were
completely new to us... and they gave us
a whole new outlook on life in
Colonial America and the tumultuous
War for American Independence.
Amazing stuff.
If you are getting INTO
early American History this year,
you'll want to pick up this great resource...
especially while it is on sale
at a pre-publication discount
... but JUST for the next 10 days only:
Here 'tis:
FORGOTTEN TALES OF THE REVOLUTION
Please take a look soon, and tell a friend
or two about this one-of-a-kind
resource.
Hopefully, we'll be back tomorrow with this week's
"living book for the ears"! Sorry for the delay --
Thanks for your patience!!!
Best Wishes,
The Erskine Family

In this issue:
Two Years Before The Mast
Dear Friends,
Two Years Before the Mast is
a riveting true story of adventure and one of the most eloquent,
insightful accounts we have of life at sea in the early nineteenth
century, tracing an ocean route from Boston, around Cape Horn, to the
California coast. Because of health problems, 19-year-old law student
Richard Henry Dana abandoned the elite world of Boston and Harvard for
an arduous voyage among real sailors, amid genuine danger. Based on a
diary Dana kept during the next two years, his book is a fascinating
story, complete with vivid descriptions of storms, whales, and the
ship's mad captain, terrible hardship and magical beauty, and
fascinating historical detail. This adaptation of Dana's classic living
book, an episode of CBS Radio's "Tell it Again", was originally
broadcast on August 22, 1948.

Best Wishes, The Erskine Family
