Randy Travis Calls Today!

Tomorrow is the FREE Randy Travis concert at the Pan American Center. Randy is in Tucson today, and he will be calling The Country Station this afternoon. Sheila will be “diggin’ up bones” on Randy after 1 pm. Don’t miss it! Perhaps Sheila will ask Randy about “Charlie.” Hmmmm….

First it was vitamin water. Now it’s vitamin beer? It’s called Stampede Light Plus, brewed to include vitamins, and you’ll see Jessica Simpson in the ads. Although, she’s not there just to look pretty and sell beer. Jessica is part owner of the beer company based in Dallas. As an entrepreneur looking for ways to diversify her portfolio, Jessica gets a 15 percent cut in the brewery. "Yes, I work out and take care of myself," said Jessica, "but I also like a cold beer once in a while."

Note to self. If ever on a tour bus – follow the rules! Bus drivers don’t always subscribe to the principles of No Band Member Left Behind. It happened in Gary Allan’s organization. "We lost one guy at a truck stop on the way back to Nashville, and we didn't realize we lost him till about a hundred miles out from home," Gary confessed. "We'd left him like 800 miles out from home and he had hitched a ride with a trucker and headed to Nashville and caught up to us." How does this happen among friends and co-workers you ask? It’s simple. He failed to follow the bus rules. “He got off in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom," continued Gary. "And when you get off a tour bus you need to put something in the driver's seat. That's the code."

August 21, 1938 seems like yesterday, doesn't it? Nope. It was 70 YEARS AGO! ! ! Happy Birthday to Kenny Rogers! !
