A VERY SPECIAL CHRISTMAS 25TH ANNIVERSARY

(from blog.gactv.com)

I can't believe it's been 25 years since I bought the very first A Very Special Christmas cassette.  (Yes, I bought the cassette!)  I can remember exactly when I bought it.  I was with my Grandma P at the Wisconsin Rapids Mall.  The Eurythmics "Winter Wonderland" is still one of my all-time fav Christmas songs.

The 25th Anniversary CD comes out October 16th and includes music from Rascal Flatts, The Band Perry, Vince Gill, Christina Aguilera, Francesca Battistelli, Michael Buble, Cheap Trick, Amy Grant, Dave Matthews, Jason Mraz, One Republic and Wonder Girls.

There will also be a Contemporary Christian Version called A Very Special Christmas: Bringing Peace on Earth released the same day.

The albums will benefit the Special Olympics (as always).

PLEASE HELP

The Dodge County Humane Society is in financial dire straits and NEEDS your help.  Right now, the financial reports show that the shelter ONLY has enough money to keep it operational for a FEW WEEKS!!!!  The DC Humane Society houses 20 dogs, 75 cats, and an animated bird named Taylor right now.

Our shelter is awesome because they do everything they can to keep from euthanizing the animals, but that means they need to be taken care of.  Plus, the mortgage needs to be paid on their wonderful building.

If you can help financially that is terrific.  Please drop off your donation at the shelter, or send it to:
DCHS
N6839 State Hwy 26
Juneau, WI 53039

The animals THANK YOU for the help!

RANDY TRAVIS - THE GOOD AND THE BAD

Let's start with the good news.
   Randy has recorded a new theme song for Champion Bull Riders that you'll hear when the show airs this Sunday on the FOX Sports Network.  The song is titled "Unbelievabull," and it's all about the bull-riding lifestyle.  Randy says, "My fascination with the sport of bull riding encouraged me to take part in this special project.  I appreciate the CBR for allowing me to represent thier great organization; and, look forward to years of 'unbelievable' opportunity in store for all of us."


The bad news.
   Randy is accusing his ex-wife, Elizabeth, of trying to sabotage his career.  Randy says that Elizabeth told some personal details in an attempt to ruin his career.  Plus, he say claims that she tried to inflate her travel reimbursement requests, thus earning more money from him than was owed her.  Randy and Elizabeth filed for divorce in 2010, but she remained his manager until 2011 when he fired her, which lead to a lawsuit that she filed claiming breach of contract.  She's asking for full management fees, he's trying to block her from getting money from his future shows.

GEORGE STRAIT IS SEXY....DUH!

King George just turned 60 and he's still got it!  He is on the AARP's list of Men on Fire for 2012 - The 21 Sexiest Men Over 50.  A few other hunks on the list?  George Clooney, Jon Bon Jovi, Antonio Banderas and Denzel Washington.

THANK YOU VETS. YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!

TIM McGRAW HELPS VETS

Homefront is the name of this nationwide program that will award mortgage-free homes to wounded warriors and service members in need.  He'll help someone at each concert stop this summer.  Homefront has partnered with Chase and Operation Homefront.  ACM Lifting Lives (which is the charitable arm of the Academy of Country Music), and The Premiere Group on behalf of the North Carolina Furniture Manufacturers have made substantial contributions in support of the program.

Tim is also set to perform a special Memorial Day concert of remembrance and gratitude for service members at New York City's Beacon Theater during Fleet Week.  You can see the concert as it will be streamed live on YouTube.  It will also be streamed to military bases around the world on The Pentagon Channel.

Tim says, "My sister's a veteran of the first Gulf War.  My uncle was a Vietnam veteran, and my grandfather was a World War II veteran.  I've always felt a deep sense of respect and obligation to our troops.  Being able to reward them for their dedicated work with a new home will be even more rewarding for us.  It feels so good to give back to them, and to have the opportunity to entertain them on Memorial Day is something I'm honored to do."

NATIONAL MEMORIAL DAY CONCERT

Trace Adkins will take part in this even that will air on PBS today.  It will be an all-star affair (of course), and feature not only Trace but also, Natalie Cole, Daughtry, General Colin Powell, Selma Blair, Ellen Burstyn, Dennis Franz and Russell Watson.

Joe Mantegna and Gary Sinise will host.

The 2012 National Memorial Day Concert airs live from the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol.

RASCAL FLATTS STAR FOR A DAY CONTEST

Here's a cool contest that the Flatts boys are doing.

They will give five lucky fans, and their guests, an opportunity for a private meet-n-greet, you'll get your own dressing room, have dinner backstage and receive a gift pack at each of their Changed Tour stops!

Two lucky fans will win a trip to the CMA Awards in Nashville!

Check out their website for details.  Or head over here.

HANK JR. SAYS THANKS

With a free download of his new single "That Ain't Good."

Why?  For surpassing the one million "LIKES" mark on Facebook!  Hank feels this is "the best way to celebrate."

He is working on the video.

Get it at hankjr.com through Memorial Day.

THERE'S ONLY ONE LUKE BRYAN ON FACEBOOK

One "Official" country star Luke Bryan that is.  It seems that some people are posting fake profiles claiming to be our favorite performer from the Dodge County Fair last year!

Luke posted this on his official Facebook page:  "Hey y'all, PLEASE SHARE THIS!  I just want to let everybody in on something.  There have been a lot of issues with fake Facebook profiles of me.  This is the only profile I use for correspondence.  I don't have a personal page.  If you are friends with another Luke Bryan, unfriend them and don't believe any of the messages."

COUNTRY ARTISTS IN THE NATIONAL RECORDING REGISTRY

Every year 25 recordings from a variety of genres are chosen for their cultural, artistic and historical value to be entered into the National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress.

This year Dolly Parton's "Coat of Many Colors," from 1971, will be added.  A press release says the song "affectionately recounts an impoverished childhood in the hills of Tennessee that was made rich by the love of her family."

Patsy Montana's "I Want To Be a Cowboy's Sweetheart" will also be added.

And a side non-country note that makes me smile.  A Charlie Brown Christmas soundtrack has also been added.

DUETS TONIGHT

The new singing reality show debuts on ABC tonight at 7pm.

Duets pits Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland, Kelly Clarkson, John Legend, and Robin Thicke against each other as they pair up with amateur singers from around the country.

JOE NICHOLS NEEDS A NEW LABEL

Joe told us via Twitter that he is no longer a member of the Showdog-Universal label.  He tweeted, "I'd like to thank ShowDog universal for doing the right thing IM FREE!!!!!"  He did say he is "very thankful for Show-Dog, and what they have done for [him.]"  Joe said their "relationship has just reached its limits."

Hmmm - that is interesting.  Many people speculating that it was a less than amicable split.  Of course, Joe was originally with Universal South when they merged with ShowDog.  He had much success with Universal, but since going with the merge he has only had one album, with one singled released.  So it does seem understandable that he is excited to embark on new adventures - things obviously weren't working there.

He does want to make a new record soon.

JANA KRAMER'S ALBUM

Her self-titled debut comes out on June 6th and will feature 11 songs.  Jana said it was tough to decide what to put on the album, "I lean towards writing a lot of ballads.   It's sometimes easier to write that but, you can't have too many ballads on an album.  So we had to have a perfect marriage of all the songs together.   So it was tough!"

Jana Kramer track listing:

1. Good Time Comin' ON
2. I Hope It Rains
3. Why Ya Wanna
4. Goodbye California
5. Whiskey
6. Over You By Now
7. One Of the Boys
8. What I Love About Your Love
9. When You're Lonely
10. King Of Apology
11. Good As You Were Bad
