Things went well with the ACM Nominations this morning, heard live on Highway 16. Photo at the right is the assembled Live Trucks outside the Hall of Fame on my way into work way too early. It was great to have Jennifer and Christian come into the studio after the announcements too and chat for a few minutes. 
If you missed it, they had a lot of fun talking about the competition, now that Sugarland is in the Duo category, with Kix & Ronnie. My favorite quote was from Jennifer: "You hear that Ronnie? We got the XM vote. Whadda you got?"So I did pretty well on my predictions... was wrong on a couple - most notably picking "Come to Bed" over "Politically Uncorrect" and thinking Hank Jr. wouldn't get in. But his nomination means my boys Van Zant got one too, so that's cool.
Keith Urban not getting more was probably the biggest suprise to me. Although I kind of think Brooks & Dunn getting that many is a little surprising too.
The most exciting thing for me was Heartland's two nominations, because some dear friends of mine run the record label they're on. When I called them to say congratulations this morning, they hadn't heard the news yet, so I got to tell them their boys were double nominees!
On the docket this week - lunch with Tim & Faith, two sessions with Martina, and then more Tim. It never rains but it pours!
