I wrote my first script for Sirius today. I'd tell you what it was, but I don't think any of my readers have the Dog Star in their cars.
Following that amusing little excercise, I went to Belmont for their internship fair, where I tried to get rid of a ton of Sirius and XM premium items (key chains, koozies, etc.) College kids are picky about their freebies! At least, upscale private college kids, LOL. I did get a lot of great response though, about 15 really strong resumes for spring and summer, including two potential bluegrass candidates! And, I got to meet one of my blog readers in person -- definitely a highlight of my day!
Next I headed to the new studios (I wonder how long we'll be in them before I stop calling them "the new studios" ??) where the Sirius gang was well into their first work day in their new home. We've all blended quite nicely, although I do still do a a double take when I see the little doggie logo around the building.
Mark Wills was in for a ShortCuts taping early afternoon. Love him. I've known him forever, and he's just fun to hang around with. His new cd comes out election day, and will be on ShortCuts the following weekend.
Sarah Buxton was in with Storme on the Music Row Happy Hour for a chat. I love having our studios just ROCKIN' with guests! Bring 'em on!
As if all of that wasn't exciting enough, about 4:30 I learned that the 15k people in the arena today were attending a motivational seminar, that featured Rudy Guilliani, Zig Ziglar and Collin Powell! I love love LOVE Collin Powell, and still hold out hope he'll run for President someday. Not that I could have possibly found time in my day to go, nor could I have afforded the $250 tickets... but gosh... I'd have probably tried to have snuck in had I known.
All of downtown Nashville was BLUE today -- Titans vs. Colts on Monday Night Football. Traffic got mighty crazy late afternoon. The only Titans game I've ever been to was a Monday night game - when they played the Chiefs. We went dressed in red.
I am feeling better -- thanks for all the nice notes. I'm not sure I'm ever going to feel good, but I'm way improved over the sad pathetic lump I was laying in bed with a fever for 6 days straight! I did the walk Saturday morning... turned out it was a 5 Mile, not a 5k. Big difference. A 1.9 mile difference to be exact. But it was good. Need to find another one to do soon. The Opry Saturday night was also great. You guys inspired me to get off my butt and do all of that on Saturday, so thank you. I'd have felt like I was letting y'all down had I not done those two things.

I preordered Marks new CD and some other MW goodies. Can't wait to get the CD. Got Craig Morgan's I LOVE IT !!!! His and Roger Creager's newest are my faves at the moment.
Glad you are feeling a tad bit better.
It was great meeting you today!! I hope my resume was one of those strong ones lol. Sorry if I didn't answer some of your questions correctly. You were the first person I talked to. I promise I got better as the fair progressed. I also promise that I'd make an amazing intern. :) Oh and just so you know, I'm not one of those picky upscale college kids. I'm one of the few normal ones.
Re: your post: Your day sounds exciting. I love love love Sarah Buxton. Her new song, "Space" is great. She was one of the artists I escorted for the ACM Radio Remote. She's really different in person than she is on stage and in interviews.
Hey, I have Sirius in both of my cars (should I be ashamed to admit that here?)! I have XM on my desk at work, though. And I listen to both online.
Joyce- some of us do have sirius! I have it due to them having Nascar and XM not..
you can share! :D
Ps. sorry for being a comment hog. But, I failed to elaborate earlier when I said I listened to xm on aol. I did up until may when xm disappeared and cbs radio showed up. :( If I could afford an extra payment to listen online I defintely would. But, my friend who I hang out with all the time, has xm in her boyfriend's car (which she drives). So we listen everywhere we go. If that makes it any better lol.
I just wanted to clarify and not leave you thinking I was out of touch or something. We can't have that. :)
Hey, I have Sirius too but never listen to it as it's an online only and only got it at the time was to listen to one show that KM hosted.
Ok ok ok -- I wrote the Nashville Minute that airs on New Country today... I'll be writing them all week while Al Skop is on vacation. Jon Anthony is voicing them. :-)
J. <--- chuckling at Kendall. You did just fine! And I know you like - and know - country music which is a plus.
Can I just tell you how much I adore Sarah Buxton? :) And as much as I adore Keith baby, I love her version of Stupid Boy more. She has a such a cool voice, so distinctive.
I have to ask though...what happened to Craig Morgan's face? Is it Botox, or just a lot of make-up? It's really distracting. :)
So glad you felt well enough to do everything you wanted to, J. Now get better!!
It's going to be a trip hearing Jon Anthony doing the Nashville Minute. The moment the merger actually feels real...
I'm not enjoying Sirius at all.
I have Sirius in my car. My husband listens to Elvis, the 50's, and I programmed the love station.
I also have New Country programmed. I guess I'll listen to it more often now that You're writing for it!! :)
It will get better soon JoAnn... promise. ;-)
I'm glad your feeling better :)
Now I'm happy!! Thanks for the B'day present!! LOL
For now I just listen to my CD's!!!
