Country Music's Biggest Party

My cases bottled water, snacks, and aspirin arrived today. My multi-tabbed, color coded spreadsheet is a thing of beauty. All of the production pieces have been tweaked, mixed, pad'd and activated. Someone else is doing the jock prep this year. We have boxes and boxes of banners, signs, and stickers. They tell me they've even ordered staff shirts with our combined company logo on them.

CMA Music Fest is almost here. I'll be able to post the broadcast schedule in the next day or two.

So... the one thing I don't know yet is -- are YOU coming? Tell me when you arrive, when you leave, and where you're staying.

It's a Love Story, baby just say "Yes"

As part of the Tennessee Renaissance Festival, we got to tour the first floor of Castle Gwynn ("White Castle") which was the site for Taylor Swift's "Love Story" video. The castle is actually a private residence... a long time work in progress, that is still (almost 3 decades in) only half finished.

Needless to say, Delaynie thought it was pretty cool. She even met the owner, and thanked him for letting Taylor shoot her video there.

Greetings from Castle Gwynn

Taking a survey

Where do you get your country music news online? Trying to figure out what, if any, decent country music web sites are out there.

Please list the Top 3 places you go to get news, and city/state or country.

Thanks!

Pint Sized Taylor Swift Fans

Couldn't resist sharing this video of my niece Maddie, who was VERY excited when Delaynie walked in wearing a Taylor Swift t-shirt today.

Next Stop on the Producer J. World Tour Is...

...the cornfields.

Busy weekend... if I'm completely successful I will have celebrated Mother's Day with my mother, my dad's 65th birthday, and my nephew Ryan's 1st birthday in addition to having lunch with our younger son and completing the Walk for the Cure while pushing a baby stroller. (?)

Wish me luck.
