Isn't it amazing what can happen in one month?
Just a month ago, I posted a "BREAKING NEWS" and a link on FR where you could download Rachel's song after she played "The Same Man" on a radio program in Austin (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/872084/posts). She never imagined she'd be on the Today show and her song in every record store in the country. I just bought her CD at Tower Records!

I saw her perform on the Today show last week, and I was so impressed with her beautiful song and natural stage presence.
I wanted to buy her CD, thanks for reminding me!
My trashed Dixie Chit CD needs replacing!

Thank you for the ping, ppaul! Our troops and our efforts in Iraq are inspirational. Linking Rachel's song to the OIF thread.
