Happy Birthday to the king of country, the king of cool, the classic cowboy, George Strait. George turns 59 today and nearly has a number record for every year he has been alive. I have been trying to decide what to call today, Straitmas, Straitsgiving, or Straitoween. For some reason my spell check doesn’t recognize Straitoween. I think we will go with Straitmas. I wish you all a very Merry Strai

John Rich has changed my tune. I have always respected John Rich as an artist, from back in the day when he was with Lonestar on their debut album to his forming of the monster duo Big & Rich. I have to say though that the image and reputation I had seen and heard of John, was that he was a bit of a jerk. I have also been told that the John Rich of today has mellowed, due to the birth of his c

Today we celebrate the pickle. Welcome to International Pickle Day. You probably didn’t even know it existed did you? Just remember as you grow your cucumbers this year, whether they are going to be slaughtered and tossed in salad or drowned in cream and pepper or imprisoned in a jar they are revered enough to have a holiday.

There are many mysteries in the world. How the pyramids were built, whatever happened to Jimmy Hoffa, who put the bop in the bop shoo whoop shoo whoop and what is the deal with Donald Trump’s hair? The mystery has been solved in a recent interview with Rolling Stone magazine where he gave a detailed explanation of why his hair looks the way it does.

I might as well hand you my guy card now for what I am about to do. Taylor Swift will be on Ellen tomorrow and I will be happily watching. There, I feel a little better just getting that out there. I happen to think Taylor is great and is wonderful for country music and an incredible role model for young girls everywhere.

If you ask someone what their favorite cola is you are bound to get a very passionate response. It seems you either like Coke or Pepsi, there is no in between. It is like being Democrat or Republican. You can get into a very heated discussion when you bring up this discussion at a party. I have found you never talk about politics, religion or cola. I am going to go out on a limb here though and te

I always felt Brad Paisley was one of the coolest artists in country music, I love his voice, guitar playing, sense of humor and now his heart. Brad has the new song “Old Alabama” featuring members of the legendary band Alabama and due to the horrific conditions in parts of Alabama that were devastated by the recent rash of tornadoes, Brad has announced that he will donate all artist royalties fro

What a night on American Idol last night! The theme was “something old and something new” and it may have been the best show of the year so far. Tonight’s elimination show should be riveting. Jennifer Lopez will perform as well as Lady Antebellum who will sing their new single “Just A Kiss” and one of the five will be sent home. Last night each contestant performed 2 songs, one from today and one

What am I going to get Mom for Mother’s Day? That is a question that haunts us each year. Trying to find the perfect gift for the perfect lady can be a tough task. We want to get her something she will never forget, like a bear holding a heart that says “world’s greatest mom”, or maybe we can do better than that.

One of Americans favorite weekend activities is going “sailing”, as in yard sale-ing. On any given weekend you can drive through the streets of your city and see homemade signs with arrows directing you to the best bargains you could ever imagine on things you didn’t know you wanted. Planning for a yard sale can be an exhausting endeavor. You have to figure out what stays and what goes. I have al

I am so ashamed. Here is my guy card, I am turning it in. Last night was the first round of the NFL draft and I completely forgot to watch it. I am sure I was somewhat effected by the contract situation with the league and didn’t feel the buzz of the draft like I have in past years but to be honest I was tainted by Todd’s non-stop talking about the royal wedding and couldn’t think of anything els

It is no secret that I consider myself one of the biggest George Strait fans in the world, and no I don’t mean size wise. I have traveled all over the country to see George perform. I have had 2 musical heroes in my life, Elvis and George, both just ooze cool and charisma. I have given myself a very difficult assignment today, come up with a top ten list of my all time favorite George Strait songs
