SHAKE IT COUNTRY GIRL

I think many of us will be doing just that for Luke Bryan when he comes to the Dodge County Fair August18th. Right now Luke is on Tim McGraw's Emotional Traffic Tour and the other night in San Diego a young lady jumped on stage during that song and shook it so good it took security over a minute to get her off stage!

TRACE ADKINS HOUSE FIRE UPDATE

It has been ruled an accident. Investigators found a faulty electrical connection in a power strip in the garage. You'll recall Brianna said the dryer blew up - it was probably plugged in there.

A NEW SHANIA SONG IS ON THE WAY!

It's been six years (who is she? Garth Brooks?), but during the finale of her show on OWN - "Why Not? With Shania Twain," on June 12th, we'll hear "Today Is Your Day." It will be available exclusively on iTunes immediately following. If you've been watching "Why Not? With Shania Twain" then you know all about it since they have documentted the creation of it during the show.

TRACE ADKINS HOUSE BURNS DOWN

Fortunately everyone was safe. The only casualty was the neighbor who was bitten by their dog when rescued. The poor doggie was scared so hopefully all will be forgiven. The neighbor is doing well. Brianna, one of Trace's daughters, told reporters for local TV station WTVF, "At first we were in the living room watching a movie and then the washer and dryer exploded in the garage."

Trace was flying to Alaska when this happened - he immediately flew back home. Wife Rhonda was not at home - a nanny was with the three youngest when the event occurred.

The fire spread quickly to the attic and from there they had a hard time containing it. Many items were stored in the basement, but due to water most everything was destroyed.

Rhonda puts it in perspective for us. She says "stuff is stuff," and while she is "sick" over the loss of wedding pix and negatives she did add, "practice fire safety and back up all your pictures."

I hope everyone takes the time to talk about how important fire safety is after hearing about this. Do you have a plan? Where will you all meet if this happens to you?
