Big Congratulations to Gary! Even though I was crossing my fingers, it is ok I didn’t win. I received two more great CD’s for Christmas-Lee Ann Womacks “Call Me Crazy” and the CD from the Zak Brown Band. I got more hooked on them when I saw them perform on the Opry. So it’s all good. Again, Congrats to Gary and many blessings to all in the New Year!

Congratulations, Gary! It’s always fun to win something, as I recently did at Music tomes, and you did in a huge way!

Well Joey + Rory sure don’t play by the normal rules when it comes to supporting their current radio single on the Opry as they didn’t even play it! Instead they started with the second cut off of Joey’s “Strong Enough To Cry” album titled “That’s Important To Me”. And for their closing song Rory handled the vocal duties on a humor song titled “Please Buy Our CD”! I’d love to see these two in concert in 2009 if they venture out to Southern California.

I’ll go ahead and say what everyone else who entered is too kind / diplomatic to say: Damn, I really wanted to win all that stuff! (So I could trade it in for credit at F.Y.E. and get some music I really wanted! LOL) Congratulations Gary. Looks like The 9513 has become your not so secret Santa this year!

Opry Weekend Alert: Some decent artists will be performing on the Opry this weekend (in addition to the regulars who really should perform a wider range of material!) Most of the “Opry Legends” performances of the same old songs are more stale than a month old loaf of bread… I can’t wait to see how good or bad the new “Traditional Thursday Nights at the Opry” sound starting in March. If they bookk the newer acts who are traditionalists it could be super. If they book the Top 40 pop-rocker types it could be terrible. We’ll see!

Friday Night (tonight) Picks: Michael Cleveland & Flamekeeper, Sunny Sweeney, Chris Young, Joey + Rory. (Should be a good’un.)

Saturday Night (12/27): Jamey Johnson, the Cherryholmes Family, Jett Williams, The Barbie & Ken couple of pop country music Julianne Hough and Chuck Wicks, oh and some guy named Keith Urban.

I wonder if Joey + Rory will do the “Sleigh Bell Version” of “Cheater Cheater”? Hmmmm……

I just read of my having won the prize and am very grateful.

I am a fairly new reader of The9513 but have been hooked since I happened on it. There is a world of music out there that I did not know existed but am a great fan of now, music that had something to say.

I also enjoyed reading people’s posts over the last 12 days. It was a unique way to share in the Christmas spirit.

Again, thank you to all of those involved in the contest, either running it or participating in it.
