I'm woefully ignorant about most of Country Music, so thank you for the background info on Trace Adkins. I had no idea he was such a staunch Conservative--good for him!

And thank you for posting the lyrics to "Arlington". Wolfstar brought my attention to the song a few months ago. A very powerful song.

I'll take Roy Clark--he's fun and has a good sense of humor. But I need Zoloft to listen to Patsy Cline--sheesh.

Good morning!

I remember the first time I heard Whiskey Lullabye. I was stunned. It was haunting, sad, insightful, and had that wonderful turn of phrase in it. Then the voices singing the song was absolutely icing on the cake.

I am sure you enjoyed even a short version of "Jesus take the wheel". ;)

"See" you later. And have at least one rediculous story about today to tell me later! (I'm sure I'll have one for you, too.)

Good morning!

I enjoyed the show last night. Some parts were very cheesy (the Dolly & Elton duet, Bloomberg), but the true talent saved the night. I was exposed to a lot of good songs and good singers that are new to me.

I am sure you enjoyed even a short version of "Jesus take the wheel". ;)

I thought it was short :) But I did like it. Carrie looked and sounded great :)

You have a great day too, Apples.

Jonny

I really enjoyed the show last night - especially when my "boyfriend" Keith Urban won Entertainer of the Year. For all you old rockers out there, give him a listen if you haven't yet. He's had some vocal problems lately from constantly touring and straining his voice - but he's a killer guitar player. Even my hubby enjoys his talent. Oh yeah and ladies he's not too hard on the eyes either!

Now I don't feel so bad that I missed it. I like both of them; why didn't they do one of his or her songs?

Thanks for the ping jonny. I had to miss the show but read a review this morning. Sounds like it was a really good one.

Hey jonny! Just finished going through the thread. Superb job as always! I wish I had been around last night to enjoy it with you and everyone else. CAN'T WAIT for Idol!!!

A few observations-

Keith Urban-hubba, hubba, and Just Damn!

"I will always love" Dolly Parton.

Gretchen Wilson-damn that girl can sing

Carrie Underwood-my favorite Idol, looked gorgeous last night and glad to hear she performed well.

Her album came out yesterday, are you getting it?

What's with the CMA awards banquet being held in New York? For the life of me, I don't understand why they insisted on holding the event in a metro area with something like a half-dozen Spanish radio stations and ZERO country stations.

Your absence was noted ;)

I'm looking forward to it, too. Only two more months!

[Carrie's] album came out yesterday, are you getting it?

I plan to. Even if it stinks (and I don't think it will), I want to have a copy just as a memento :)

Wal-Mart is selling it for like $9.94 or something close to that. I agree, even if it stinks (which it won't) it will be good to have.
