Backside of Easter

Greetings and Salutations from the backside of Easter. The Country Station hopes that everyone had a healthy holiday and enjoyed the wonderful weekend weather we were afforded in the valley. This is a big week on the air. Are you ready? 5 … 4 … 3 … 2 … 1 … Brooks & Dunn tickets go on sale on Saturday! Keep listening all week for 3 Brooks & Dunn songs in a row! When you hear the triple-play, we’ll be looking for the lucky 7th caller to win 5th row, 4th row, 3rd row, 2nd row, and front row tickets before you can buy them! Good Luck. The show is May 23rd at the Pan Am Center.

So how are things going with the Auburn University guys who are trying to get a hug from Taylor Swift? Challenge number 2 is on! Taylor posted a video saying, "So I think it would be fun to possibly try some other challenges ... Since my lucky number is 13, and it's always a good thing when I see the No. 13, maybe it would be cool to incorporate the most creative [use] of 13, like bake 13 cookies for someone who doesn't expect it or plant 13 tulips in someones yard. But I know that you will probably think of something amazing, so I will give this one to you ... I love you guys, thank you so much!" The students have accepted the challenge. Stay tuned.

And finally, on TV this week ….. Reba McEntire will be performing two songs on tomorrow night’s results episode of Dancing With The Stars. Wouldn’t it be fun if this were an exploratory trip and Reba was scoping out the production so that she could maybe, just maybe join the cast in a future season? Or maybe that’s just too many Peeps talking. Performance slots have never gotten Taylor Swift, Rascal Flatts or any of the other big-name guest performers on the show. But one can still hope for a big name.
