More breaking news for you Texas based fans of Sunny Sweeney. Sunny and The Wrights will be doing three un-plugged acoustic sets in early August according to Sunny’s MySpace page. Boy would I love to see a gig like that here in Los Angeles!

Details:
Forth Worth, TX: Aug 5, 2008 @ 8:00PM
ACOUSTIC – The Fairmount – w/ The Wrights

Austin, TX: Aug 6, 2008 @ 8:00PM
ACOUSTIC – Saxon Pub – w/ The Wrights

Dallas, TX,: Aug 7, 2008 @ 8:00PM
ACOUSTIC – All Good Cafe – w/ The Wrights

Sunny and The Wrights performed together during a couple of Opry Plaza Party shows during Fan Fair in June, so it appears they made a musical and personal connection. I sure wouldn’t mind seeing a review of one of these shows on The 9513……..

As for who will host the CMA Awards show, since I never watch such shows I will mimic the new Russian ex-cop messiah Vissarion and say “That does not interest me”! (lol) Reading about this guy is worth the effort it is so insane:

PS – Opry Alert! The beguiling Ashley Monroe will be performing on the Friday Night Opry (July 18) and the feisty faux-Frenchie Tift Merritt will be performing on the Saturday Night Opry (July 19).

I say give the job to Vince. He’s funny and can think on his feet – “Can you say that Kanye?” :)

Chris, those three are rebel enough (and witty enough) to go off-script and ad-lib quite a bit. That’s why I chose them.

No teams! Then they’ll have to read scripted banter off the teleprompter, which is always painful.

How ’bout Reba and Linda Davis singing the dialogue to each other ala “Does He Love You?”. that would be quite the feat!

Reba (in over the top singing voice): “Linda, do you have the envelope?”

Linda (in equally over the top singing voice): “Reba, do YOU have the envelope…”

…and so on and so forth…

How about ….. Vince and Reba — or Vince and Dolly — or Vince and Reba and Dolly? :-0

I think they should get Blake Shelton to host it. I love his humor. He would be best after Vince of course.
