Somebody at FOX News must have seen the recent Shape magazine cover. At least Faith is in good shape for her PBS Soundstage Christmas Special. Faith will be joined by a 31-piece orchestra and 9-person choir when she makes her first and only full performance of her Christmas album, Joy To The World. The show will premiere Thanksgiving week and repeat throughout December on PBS.
And finally, what’s a Feel Good Friday without some fast-paced, flashy fun? Tomorrow, Bucky Covington and his twin brother, Rocky, celebrate their 31st birthday. Bucky’s tour schedule says the party’s at the House of Blues in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Approximately 1,615 miles away. That’s quite a walk. Lucky for us, there’s video. And memories. For once upon a time, the boys were a tad closer to home.
Enjoy “It’s Good To Be Us” - Bucky and Rocky’s birthday video. Recognize anything?
