Tube: Tim McGraw with Motorcycle

OK, who wants to ride this pony double? (I do, I do!!) Here's Tim with his new $85,000 bike. Looks like something out of a futuristic movie.

Tube: Tim McGraw in Bandana

Not too much to say about this tube....besides cute, cute, CUTE!!! I believe this picture was taken at a Nashville event which was a charity motorcycle ride organized by Dierks Bentley earlier this year (2008). Though you can't see it in this preview--Tim has what appears to be "Care Bear" band-aids on both of his thumbs. I guess his new $85,000 bike gives him blisters. Ha!

Tube: Trace Adkins

Years ago I heard stories about women fainting at Trace Adkins concerts when he started to dance. LOL. I have been to a few shows and, although I enjoyed them a lot, I absolutley did not faint (nor did anyone near me)! Over the years, I have had several opportunities to meet him over the years and one of my fondest (or scariest??) memories is when I attended a celebrity golf tournament in San Diego about 7 years ago.


My friends Michelle, Dawn, and I thought it would be fun to wait on a bench on the sidewalk at the end of the 18th hole and greet all the players as they came off the course. Well, what seemed like a great idea almost turned into a tragic incident. Trace was playing the 18th hole and somehow completely missed the hole and headed for me!!! I heard a loud wizzing sound near my right ear and felt a small breeze as the ball nearly hit me in the head. I hit the grass on my belly as fast as I could and when the coast was clear I got up on my knees to look over at Trace. He was quickly turning red and shaking his head in embarrassment. That was a close one! I retrieved the ball and still have it today--signed by an apologetic Trace, of course!

Tube: Sara Evans

Here's a tube of one of my favorite country music singers, Sara Evans. She always seems so bubbly and optimistic. I met Sara for the first time about 10 years ago at an ACM (Academy of Country Music) press party. She was 9 months pregnant and ready to drop at any minute--yet she took time to sign autographs and take picture with a bunch of folks. That was really nice of her!

Tube: Kenny Chesney Lucky Son 1

This tube is dedicated to my friend Jeannette in New Jersey. She is just a big, ol' Kenny fan. Anytime I see him, I think of her (I harass her a lot about him, too....LOL...but that's another story.)

Tube: Kenny Chesney Arsty-Fartsy

I am slowly coming around to Kenny Chesney. He was never one of my favorite singers, but he does have a few songs I find stuck in my head more often than not. He's one of those performers I'd rather hear than actually ever have to really watch moving around on stage. LOL. I can't deny he's one successful artist these days. He's an enigma to me. I think of him as the "down-home-country-fried-carribean-cowboy" guy. I guess it works for him. Anyhoo...I thought this was a cool image to tube. Put it to good use, my friends!

Tube: John Rich's Bruised Knuckles

I love this guy. He's the "P.Diddy" of Country Music. Seems like he has a hand in just about everyone's records these days....whether it's writing a song for the artist or doing all the production work in the studio. I remember seeing John Rich, back as a new artist, when he was part of "Lonestar" about 14 years ago. I recall him pouring tequila off the stage right into a fan's mouth in the front row. Now he's part of the successful group "Big & Rich" as well as hosts a couple TV shows on CMT.

Tube: Chucks Wicks

I had some time to make some tubes today, something I don't get as much time for as I used to. Here's my newest collection of country music tubes, starting with Chuck Wicks.

Chris Cagle at Buck Owens' Crystal Palace

This past weekend, I drove 2 hours north and headed to Bakersfield to see Chris Cagle in concert at Buck Owens' Crystal Palace. It was a GREAT show (and do I dare admit--((gulp))--my 36th time seeing him in concert?) Over the years I have seen the highs and lows of Cagle come and go, and I am pleased to say that this was defitinitely a high. The show was terrific--filled with lots of humor on Cagle's part. He joked with the crowd, did goofy little dances, acknowledged a heck of a lot of people who wanted to be acknowledged, (yeah, me too!) and smiled through the whole show. Loved that! I had a feeling it would be a great show. Right now Chris is riding into town on the back of a long-needed hit, "What Kind of Gone", and performed in a venue where he had a history of putting on a damn good show seven years ago.

So, here are some of my photos from the show...if you know Chris, then you know it's a rare occasion that he doesn't have on that black t-shirt...so stop by the photo album and take a look. He looked great--and sounded even better.

Follow the link below or on the margin at the right to check out the rest of the photos--and leave a comment or two--it's always fun to see what fans have to say about this photo or that one.

New CD "C'mon" by Keith Anderson TODAY!!!

Well...it feels like it's been forever! Keith's new CD finally arrives in stores today. It was well worth the wait. I can't help but crank up "Somebody Needs a Hug" and the title cut "C'mon", and the Foster & Lloyd remake of "Crazy Over You" takes me back a few years.
