week 20

#1

There is just something about the Wayne County Fair going on this week, that is simply special.  It's not the biggest county fair, or the fanciest, but there is a great feeling about the fair that is incredible.

The people that run the fair are so nice, and the patrons that pack the grandstand for various shows, concerts, races,  and pulls are having the time of their lives.  The county comes together and supports each other wonderfully.

There is just a great feeling when you are there.  I am always proud to emcee the shows there, an d see all the wonderful people Wayne County.

This picture made me happy.  In the 1990's, Colin Raye, Sammy Kershaw, and Aaron Tippin were consistent hit makers in Country Music.  I played every one of their songs on various radio station morning shows in the country.  They all had a great run.

Well, this biz changes as all do, and there is the inevitable changing of the guard in music, and slowly they all came off the charts.  But as they all sang together and separately at the Wayne County Fair this week, they took people back to a time not so long ago, that made a packed house happy. Their happiness made everyone happy.

Great to see old friends, still friends and making the music they did, together.  Well done! 

week #19

This picture is not what you may think.


This is NOT a huge Country, or Rock Concert at Blossom.  This is a pic from last weekends Cleveland Orchestra Concert where the played the soundtrack to Star Wars:The Empire Strikes Back.

I go to Blossom for all kinds of shows, including emceeing the Country shows there, and this concert was as big as any crowd I have seen at Blossom this year.  It was huge!

Fun thing to do, and very affordable. Keep the Orchestra in mind for next season.  It's Blossom the was it was, and that in itself is worth the visit.  A picnic, a show and a great time on the lawn.

Tons of listeners drive, or own a tractor.  When I was at the Canfield far this past weekend with Windy, we walked through the tractor display.  Very cool.

A tractor then and now are essentially the same - but different.  It's a big, heavy engine on wheels with a seat and big wheels.   In the 1930's and 40's like many of these were, they didn't have Am/FM Radios, AC, DVD, heat, incredibly comfy seats, and TV.

But they were and are beautiful!  Such classics, always fun to look back and see how things were.

It:Chapter Two

This week, is a slow one as far as new movies are concerned, but It is going to be a huge hit.  The second installment of this story will be big, and so will the amount of time you'll be at the theater, as this is almost three hours.


I liked the first part of this story a couple years ago, and I am hoping this is just as good.
