Once upon a time, Ms. Autry, a friend of Janet's, used to send Emails to her fans, and we would publish them on this page. They will appear below a few updates which we've added since.
Immediately below, you see an autographed photo she sent this webmaster for signing up to be a Fan Club member.
Please click to see a larger version.
These days Charlotte uses Facebook, Twitter, and more to chat with us, and you can click the following Twitter and Facebook logos to go to her pages on those sites. Further on down are links to her website and myspace pages.

Hi Saddle Pals, How are
things out on the Lone Prairie?? My
trail has been busier than a bushwhacker whacking bushes…. which means we should
be about to wind up all the recording on the Gene Autry Centennial Celebration
CD Project, and it should be ready to release sometime in May, along with Holly
George-Warren's Official Gene Autry Biography.
Releasing at the same time?? YOU BETCHA!!! Here’s the artist line-up that you can
look forward to hearing on the cd entitled ‘Boots Too Big To Fill’.
Charlie Daniels, Vince Gill, Pam Tillis, Randy Owen of Alabama, Glen
Campbell, Marty Stuart and his band The Fabulous Superlatives, Connie Smith,
John Anderson, Riders in the Sky, Restless Heart, Jim Lauderdale, Ian Tyson, T.
Graham Brown, Kim Mclean, The Time Jumpers, Alan Autry – Actor/Mayor of Fresno,
CA, and myself.
Not bad company, if I do say so myself!! Plus for the musical side of it are some
of the GREATEST studio musicians out of Nashville… the “A” Team as they are
known around those parts, all of them have toured with Major Artists such as –
ELVIS,
Shania
Twain,
Trisha
Yearwood, Conway Twitty, and many many
others. And their enthusiasm to be
a part of our Gene Autry Celebration has truly been
overwhelming.
I am in the process of setting up my calendar, finding band members, and
putting together the actual tour schedule… my apologies for this update being rather
delayed.
Now, as for the
Gene
Autry, OK Festival, the official dates are
September 26-30,
2007,
And if you are planning on going, I would highly
recommend that you consider getting your tickets ASAP. Last years crowd doubled compared to the
year before, and I imagine this year, it will double from last. Here’s the link for more information
about tickets, the schedule, and lodging information, plus a contact email for
more details:
http://www.geneautryokmuseum.com/
I am sure you will notice there have been some changes in the website,
and in the Festival setup itself, over this past year we lost two major icons to
the Gene
Autry
Museum,
Gene
Autry, OK……. My good friend,
Bruce
Dillman, passed away August, 2006… and another
dear friend, Willie
L. Johnston,
passed away in September, 2006.
They were both very special to me, the festival, and to the museum, and
their presence is greatly missed.
For pictures of them, and more information, please refer to the blogs on
my website:
http://www.myspace.com/charlotteautry
As for now, that’s the latest… I will have more on my schedule, and an
actual release date for the CD the next time you hear from me!!
God bless ya’ll,
And I will see you along the trail very soon,
Charlotte

Good morning guys and gals.... As I write
this I am reeling from just having met Connie Smith, wife of Marty Stuart.... I
am sitting in the studio in Nashville and Connie is recording "Vaya Con Dios",
and I can hear her sweet voice echoing out of
the sound booth... that familiar voice that sang so many of my
personal favorite songs!! Marty is here playing mandolin, along with
Riders in the Sky on bass, accordion, and acoustic guitar!!! Before the
ice storm that was guilty of shutting our electricity down for six day, I was in
the studio with Marty Stuart and his band The Fabulous
Superlatives recording "Mule Train" with a bluegrassy sound... and the
Riders in the Sky who recorded a song entitled "Lonely River" - - Tomorrow we
will be with the studio musicians who are each legends in their own right, and
they will be preparing the song that Glen Campbell is planning to record,
although he will do his work in California..... AHHHHHHHH such is the world of
modern technology!!!
As far as a release date, we are quickly
approaching a projected date of lateish March.... which will coincide with the
"Official Biography of Gene Autry" commissioned to be written by Holly
George-Warren who was hired by Gene Autry Entertainment, LA California... so we
will be doing some release work together.... It's not quite clear yet what
that entails, BUT there is a rumored "Good Morning America" NATIONAL
appearance...... time will tell..... AND of course, we finally got an
OFFICIAL NOD FROM GENE AUTRY ENTERTAINMENT CORP.... which to you and I means
they approve, support, and are ON BOARD with the project and my
career.............. (INSERT HAPPY DANCE HERE!!!!) Not financially, but
everything else.......
ALSO you can preorder the "Gene Autry Tribute
Album" at my labels website - here's a link:
I will get back in the studio........
just wanted you to hear from me while I had internet access which is kinda picky
at the hotel.......
GOD BLESS YA'LL,
I'll be in touch again soon,
Charlotte

HAPPY NEW YEAR
FROM GENE
AND CHARLOTTE!!
Health to you, Wealth to
you,
and the Best That Life Can
Give to YOU
~ in 2007 ~
With Love From
Charlotte!!!
I can hardly believe we are
just hours away from ringing in 2007!!! For those of you who are planning
to be out and about ringing in the New Year, BE SAFE - for the rest of us who
are planning to stay at home, be sure to tune in to SUPERCOUNTRYHITS.COM, they
are doing a "Top 50 Requested Songs" Countdown of 2006 starting at
6:00 PM CST, and I have two
songs on their request site SO we'll
have to listen to see if I've made it in their Top 50!!
Out of the several thousand
songs that you can request, they have Independent artists along
with Major Label artists, and
they are very kind and supportive to both!! So be sure to listen
in.... Just go to http://www.supercountryhits.com and
click on the button that says "CLICK HERE TO LISTEN FREE"
And OH Yes, we have a
Cardboard cut-out of Gene, and have had since the beginning of the project,
thanks to our producer, Joe Johnston {:o)!!! And most everybody who
has worked with us has had their picture made with The Singing Cowboy
himself!! It definitely helps our creative atmosphere to have him
with us in the studio..... I have tried to get them to put him in the
passenger seat as we drive around Nashville, so far they haven't let me do
it.... Maybe I'll get my own 'Gene' and tote him around with me. I'm
sure it would bring plenty of smiles and laughter to those who pass us on the
street, and they certainly wouldn't have to question who I am!!
Here is yet the newest email
address for the fan club
I tried to use Yahoo, but
they would only
let me send 50 emails per
hour....
AND WE ARE OVER 200
STRONG!!!
So that didn't work for us,
but this one will!!!
ALSO, if you want to send
Fan Letters or Cards to
the Fan Club or to

Subject: Order your "TRIBUTE
TO GENE AUTRY" CD, now
Rainy Day Records is taking orders for Charlotte's album,
now.
Everyone that buys now, will get a picture, autographed by the
artists performing on it.
It will be released in early spring.
To order early, click on this link [below]. You can also read about the
album.
November 20, 2006
We're all getting pretty excited, here at
Charlotte's Web.
But before I get into all the good news, Charlotte
wants to thank all of you that sent Birthday wishes to her. By phone, e-mail,
and snail mail. It certainly made her day, and she does
appreciate it.
Now, for the latest. This is finally beginning to feel
more like reality, than a dream. Things are beginning to
take shape. Charlotte has been in Nashville several times working on her
"Tribute To Gene Autry", album, celebrating what would have been Gene's
100th Birthday.
This album is being produced by one of the best
studio's in Nashville, "Sound Emporium", and some of the best engineers, best
back up singers, and best musicians. Gene Autry will be represented
by the very best available.
We have some great artists doing Gene's songs. What
has been done so far, is fabulous. This month we completed five songs. Pam
Tillis sings "You're The Only Star In My Blue Heaven," Kim McLean, (a country
Gospel singer), sings "Someone Bigger Than You And I", Restless Heart, sings
"That Silver Haired Daddy Of Mine", Ian Tyson, ( A Canada Music Hall Of Famer),
sings "Ridin' Down The Canyon". Charlotte sings, "Be Honest With Me", AND one
she and Joe Johnston wrote, "Saddle Pal Of Mine".
Next month we have Charlie Daniels, The Time
Jumpers, Jim Lauderdale, T Graham Brown, John Anderson, Vince Gill. Vince
will be singing "Oklahoma Hills", There are several more wanting to put their
voices on this album. We have, Charlotte, Kim McLean and Richard
Dennison, (Dolly's back up singer), singing back up.
Plans are to have it finished and ready to be
released, in early spring We will let you know the date of release,
and where it can be purchased, as soon as we find out.
We are very excited about this project. I think you
will be too, when you hear it. It will bring Gene back to the minds of the older
generation, and the younger generation will hear what a great person, and
singer they have missed out on.
"HAVE A HAPPY
THANKSGIVING"
Fan Club President, (aka,
mom).

Hello to all Charlotte's supporters;
This is a very exciting time for Charlotte. This is something
she has longed for, for many years.
Her first CD, "Tribute To Gene Autry" for his 100th
birthday celebration will become a reality, this Wednesday, Nov. 8. Charlotte
has been in Nashville several times, lately, learning about the recording
studio, learning the two songs she is contributing to the album, meeting
the musicians that will be contributing to this album, AND some that are in the
business to give advice, show her where she needs to be, etc. This is only the
first session. The next session will be the first part of December. This CD will
be released in the spring, and will be for sale at several places. We'll know
more about where that will be, before it's released.
There will be a photographer there to take pictures, AND I
will also have my camera. She will be putting some of these pictures on her
website, and her MYSPACE site, so be sure to check in her sites
often.
If you have any questions for her, you can post them on her
MYSPACE, and she will get them instantly. If you have a question for me,
President of her fan club, reply to this address.
We will be sending a report on this first recording session,
as soon as we get back, which will be around 18 or 19th.
Thank you so much for supporting Charlotte,
Patty Autry,
President, Charlotte Autry Fan
Club

HEY
to all my friends and fans, Hope all is well with you as the chill of fall sets
in!! Today is Friday the
13th and the temp here at home is 37 degrees….. and my pink fuzzy slippers and I are
snuggled in here at the desk with a GREAT cup of coffee, ahhhhhh what could be
better??
The 16th annual Gene Autry Festival,
Gene Autry, OK was a GREAT event this year, just as I expected it to be, and can
I say that there is NO GREATER PLACE for this small town Autry girl to be than
at a Gene Autry Festival in Gene Autry, OK. Last year was the first year that a
Singing Autry had ever performed on the stage, and can I just say WOW, WHAT A
HUGE HONOR IT WAS! The crowd was
twice what it was last year, the music was great as usual, and everybody is
getting geared up and excited for Gene’s 100th birthday celebration in 2007. I had the privilege of being invited
upon the stage in the middle of Paul Belanger’s concert to sing with him. He is a multi-award winning
yodeler who has walked away with many
awards, such as National Yodeling Champion,
International Swiss Yodeling Champion, Country Music Association’s Songwriter of
the Year, Country Music of America’s Male Entertainer of the Year & Album of
the Year, and what a precious man, and it was such a thrill to share a stage
with him. If you have never had the
opportunity to experience a Gene Autry
Festival, start making plans now for next year, it will be one that you
will not want to miss!! I will send
out the exact dates as soon as I receive them.
The Gene Autry Tribute Album is
getting ready to explode into my life, and will only be a matter of time before
it explodes into yours! SO FAR,
(and you are the very first to be ‘in the know’) here’s the updated list of
participating artists:
Willie Nelson, Vince Gill,
Restless Heart, Asleep at the Wheel, Canadian Cowboy Ian Tyson, Pam Tillis, John
Anderson……
Things have kicked into high gear
as we are headed into pre-production, and I am packing my bags for a trip to
Nashville as we speak. I have been working on the many details
of the project with my producer, Joe Johnston, and my label owner, Rick Bridge of Rainy
Day Records, LA, CA. It is coming
together quickly and larger than what we anticipated, so needless to say
EXCITEMENT IS LARGE AND IN CHARGE, I cannot wait to get to
Nashville to really dig in up to my elbows!
As for the status on my personal
singing career, you can currently hear my original song ‘Back to my Roots’ on 15
internet stations and a growing number of ACTUAL ‘FM’ stations in different
areas of the country, one being right outside of Nashville!!! I have had simultaneous spots in the
internet TOP 5 on supercountryhits.com for 5 weeks in a row with ‘Back to my
Roots’ being #1 four of those weeks, and ‘Blue Moon of Kentucky’ fluctuating
between spot #2 and #3!!!!!! MANY
THANKS TO THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE REQUESTING IT!! You can request it too by going to
supercountryhits.com and selecting the ‘request’ feature, look under the ‘C’s’
and you will find my songs there, & you can request it every hour!! I am also up for
‘NEW FEMALE ARTIST’ on
newcountrystar.com… just click on
the ‘VOTE’ link, and scroll down until you see my picture…. Select my name, and click ‘vote’ – you
can vote every hour of every day – voting doesn’t end until October 23. THAT’S NOT ALL, but there will be PLENTY LEFT TO TELL in
my next update, & TONS OF NEW STUFF HAPPENING I’m
sure!!!
GOD BLESS YA’LL and KEEP IT
COUNTRY!!!

Hello to ALL Charlotte Autry
Fan's:
Super Country Hits is a radio station in Biloxi, Miss.
They are playing Charlotte's Songs, "Back To My Roots" and "Blue Moon Of
Kentucky". Week before last it was #1, this past week, it came in #2, but just a
few votes. Right now Back to My Roots is #1 in the top 20. Up by only two. We
need your votes to keep it in first place.
Click on this link;
Click on requests, scroll down, click on the C (in the
alphabets), scroll on down to Charlotte Autry, highlight her name, move to the
right and click on request. Although, only one request every 90 minutes, for
each person, is accepted, EVERY vote counts, for the overall spot it ends
up in. The count down is played every Sunday evening at 7:00.
Let's get in there and vote, vote, vote. The first
place artist, has the honor of making a short speech (commercial). Also, there
are music scouts listening, and taking notes.
This station is played only on the internet, but is
world wide. So you can see why we need to get behind her and get her and her
music heard.
If you have any questions, or need help finding the
request link, e-mail me back, I'll walk you through it.
Thank you so much

Members of Charlottes fan club. Charlotte did an
interview with a DJ from Lexington, KY. She visited with him on the cyber
air, he played her song during the interview, then went on again, after the song
finished, with the interview. I thought you might like to listen to it.
Click on this link [below], then on TiKi lounge, then scroll
down and click on Charlotte Autry. It's a nice interview. It was reason to be to
be a tiny bit nervous, but she still did a great job.

Hello Everyone;
Everything is coming along pretty
good. Several new things have taken place, that we are pretty
excited about. As you know, Charlotte's main focus, from the beginning, has been
on Gene Autry. She made that known by all she is dealing with, in this
business.
For years she has researched her family tree.
Although, she found lots of interesting ancestors, Gene was her main interest.
(He DOES have more to write and talk about). In January, she made a family
emergency trip to California, but stayed several extra days, to round
up all the new information on Gene, she could. WOW, she even got to
set behind the desk, where Gene did all his work.
Over a period of years, she has gotten CD's,
names and lyric's of all the songs Gene sang, AND wrote, with the focus on
singing them someday. Well, these are the days she has been waiting for. To have
the opportunity to sing AND record those songs, and bring Gene back
out in the spotlight, and bring precious memories back to those who, long ago,
watched his movies, drooled over him, and longed to be in his
arms, AND bring the knowledge to the younger generation, of who he was,
what he was, and what he stood for.
NOW, it is well on it's way to happening. We are
approaching Gene's "Would Have Been" 100th birthday, and what a great
time for all this to come together. She couldn't have planned it any
better.
THIS IS FANTASTIC, SOMETHING WE NEVER EXPECTED TO
HAPPEN, Along with Charlotte's
songs on the CD, she will accompany Vince Gill, as he sings 'Oklahoma Hills',
Willie Nelson, as he sings 'Back In The Saddle Again, Restless Heart, Brenda
Lee, AND there will be more. We will send out another report, to let you know
who the others are, as they sign up.
NOW,, back down to earth,,,, Tuesday, July 4th,
Charlotte will be singing at Catoosa's Libertyfest. Starting around 6 PM. She
will also sing the National Anthem before the fireworks. Please try to
attend. She will be so happy to know we are all there and supporting
her all the way.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING HER FAN CLUB,
AND YOUR SUPPORT.
Pres.Charlotte Autry's
FC
June 26, 2006
Thank you so much for joining Charlottes fan club. We have both been
putting things together, and setting things up for the fan club. We are busy as little bees gathering information for her publicists and for this first very special
project which will be released next spring.
September 29, 2007 marks what would have been Gene Autry's 100th birthday.
Being a third cousin, and always adoring Gene, Charlotte has chosen, in co-ordination with other "Gene Autry Tributes" being arranged, to make her first CD a tribute to Gene. We're ALL very excited about her decision.
This is going to be fun and exciting for all of us. Along with her myspace music site, which is www.myspace.com/charlotteautry
- we're working on getting a forum, so you can post messages to her, and other fan
club members. Also, a chat room, where we can all chat directly with
her, AND each other. I will be keeping you informed on all her events, and what's happening with her, by sending out newsletters via the Internet.
Again, Thank you for joining. You'll be glad you did. Fans are what keeps singers,and their careers growing. Charlotte is going to make us very proud, and represent us well.
By the way, she will have a booth set up at the CMA Music Festival
2007.
