Doswell Country Singer Misses the Big Time Again With "Shootin’ Pool with a Rope"

His “Thumbs Up” to Erectile Dysfunction Drops off Country Music Chart at #564

Mac Wiseblood hopes to be the first Doswell resident to make a name for himself, other than in a registry of some sort, but his country song Shootin’ Pool with a Rope has unexpectedly slipped from a Nashville music chart after crowning at #564 out of 575, again dashing his hopes of stardom. It is his fifth song to enter then abruptly drop off the charts.

“Mr. Wiseblood’s paean to erectile dysfunction struck a temporary sheepish chord with aging male boomers across the possum belt, from Tennessee down through Arkansas cutting across Mississippi and Alabama,” says Mac’s musical agent, ‘Ramblin’ Stan vanLandingham. “I anticipated this song surging to an unprecedented height in the charts, but instead it failed to perform at all.”

“The song came naturally to me, when I woke up one morning.” Reports Wiseblood, also sitting comfortably at age 51, despite a suspiciously tender prostate. “I batted it around until it finally worked – took about a week or better. All my songs emerge real naturally to me.”

Wiseblood – who was born and grew up in the Noel Road area of Doswell – is disappointed that Shootin’ Pool with a Rope has gone the way of four other songs of his: Bowlful of Slivers; My Tell-Tale Tinge; Red, Rough and Sore and You can’t spell Kentucky without K-Y.

“It’s uncanny,” Wiseblood moans as he shakes his head in distress, “Why can’t I produce a hit?” Wiseblood and vanLandingham anticipate hitting paydirt with a CD of these songs along with some new ones that hopefully will sell better than as individually. Other songs on the CD include Prairie Doggin’, The Frightened Turtle and Baby Wants a Soft Stool.

Even Wiseblood’s children’s song Li’l Floater and His pal Big Montana failed to make a dent in the the music market catering to children – normally an easy market to crack.
