...6 days and counting!
My girl, Kellie Pickler will perform her hit single, "Red High Heels," on "The Today Show" this morning.
Her debut country album, “Small Town Girl” was released yesterday.
Has a Cleveland country band been booked at Saddle Ridge yet?
Might be interesting to see which band lands there first…on a Wednesday night?
If I'm not mistaken, Laredo will be at Saddle Ridge on the 8th.
I've BEEN tired of those t.v. commercials. Seems like they've been on for six months already!

Ziggy, I was not "wrong" about HL being at the brewing company the other night because that's what my copy of the schedule indicated. Obviously, it was a mistake on someone's part but I had it in black and white at the time I posted, way back whenever that was. However, that's neither here nor there....
What part of town do YOU live in? I only got about 25 trick-or-treaters last night! All the kids in Brooklyn must have left the city.
Halloween is fading fast folks. Parma wasn't nearly as active as it usually is and I've noticed a steady decline over the last few years. I hear the same from folks in several other cities. The times they are a changing, but not always for the better.
Right, who needs all these leftovers I ended up with!? lol It really is a shame because it's a fun holiday for the kids and I hate to see it fading away.
We had 80 to 90 trick or treaters last night. Although I live on a main street, not in a development.
Halloween is alive and well in the developments.
My girlfriend spent a hundred bucks on candy and said she had close to 300 kids.
I bought candy we don't like, NO CHOCOLATE...something body parts. Teeth, eyeballs, bloody fingers, broken bones and tongues. Towards the end we gave out more! I saved to red jelly/gummy eyeballs.

Looks like I'll have to pick up a Free Times tomorrow.

WHOOO-HOOOOOOOO...it's Friday!

It's a flippen love fest!
The Cleveland country music community has returned to the "we are all brothers" concept.
Kind, pleasant, complementary, and happy for each other. There is no jealousy, no contempt, everyone is equally talented. There are no issues or scandals. All the bands have achieved a gossip/drama free status. All the "campers" are thrilled and share the joy in the success of Lawless.
Happy Friday!
Boy, that Saddle Ridge sure is HUGE! Too bad the dance floor couldn't be a bit bigger...it's pretty big but for the size of the place, I think they could've extended it more than they did. Music was good...wish it were all country, but variety is all right.
And talk about bringing back some memories! Mining Co. and Dixie Electric.....I feel so old. LOL

The answer to "that" question, and EVERYTHING else that is annoying to the country scene is being opined on the "LEFT" thread.
The blog is acting goofy today. On the other hand my email is functioning just dandy.
I praise all involved for reeling it in during the Cleveland Country Cares fundraising.
Stopping the rhetoric, absurd allegations, daily attacks and talking about the issues and familial ramifications of one of the most debilitating and devastating disease processes known to man helped our shared cause.
AMEN!
Alex and Alzheimer's...
You watch the decline for up to twenty years. Kinda like Alex P. Keaton. It is NOT gonna get any better for Alex or an Alzheimer victim until there is breakthrough science.
If I had eggs, I would donate them. I wouldn't sell them...I let them have'em. There are thousands of women just like me...LOL, with eggs to give! Bazillions of eggs being thrown out at fertility clinics?
The brainstorm of the RNC talking points is adopting them out. Well, here is a progressive/alternative idea...while ya all argue that point for a year, could women, that want to donate their eggs to science do so? Please?
Here...take em! I want ya to have them. Good Lord...we EAT eggs!
Anyway...Alzheimer's Disease brought the fans together. The fans made it work! Country music fans raised the money! Amen!
It mattered! It was worth the peace time effort.
I applaud the "campers" for being well behaved on the blogs to assist the Alzheimer's Association.
Has there been any after event press? Let us know when the event cd will be for sale. I'll buy a bunch!
Web - I LOVED the article about country ignorance! It's so incredibly true.
AMEN!!!
This is pretty much the same thing I've been preaching for years! How can you know where you're going if you don't know where you've been! Thanks, Web, for finding this.
I really haven't been wasting my time!

It's Sunday
There are AWESOME country songs about Sundays. I have a title for one, maybe one of you aspiring song writers can come up with something.
The title is: The Lawn/Leaves Can Wait...now write me a song.
Also...song writers...I need a country song that is appropriate for the mother to dance with her son at his wedding. He is her golden boy! It must be sappy, and filled with the message of her love for him. I can't find anything!
Help...
Final Answer: The Leaves Can Wait, should be the title.
Where is joebagadounut? What exactly do you suppose ran this poster off. Oh ya...it was my hypocrisy towards WGAR.
Speaking of WGAR...can't imagine Captin Tony is happy with me.
OU-RAH!
I wonder if Captin Skinnyboy McCoy and Captin Tony have compared notes yet?

It's Monday!
The EVE of change...AMEN!
This morning I am LOL, not only at Senator Elizabeth Dole.
See "LEFT" thread.
Seriously...I have been laughing at the google bot for a couple of weeks.
Holly Hobby...things that make me go hmmm. The Holly Hobby ad appeared after I referred to female country artists as Miss Kellie or Miss Rachel.
This week we have security and mapping ads. LOL... The bot read the "LEFT" turn signal and the word mapquest. NOT sure what it thought TBD was?
It would be presumptive to say I have lost GAC and CMT as advertisers...however, it would NOT surprise me.
The war of the words returns...via email!
The email has NOT become ridiculously hostile/hateful yet.
Is it a sign that the Cleveland country community agrees with me?
The "NOT for the Blog" is cracking me up!
NOT for the Blog...
OK, I get it, but then WHY tell me? I ask myself...who will it benefit the most or who will it hurt the most?
Another Monday...Another Clash!
The Bull has NOT validated my vote in the "Clashing Country" for like a month. Roger said it was something about a spam filter. Hmmm...The Bull updates make it to my mailbox just fine.
The Bull has NOT responded to an email from me since the "L" clash. Never mind that I put The Bull on the map, promoted the clashes, station and personalities across the the International country community despite being a clear channel station. My question; is The Bull selling our email addresses? NOT LOL!
What happened to my weekend? LOL
Oh and I know Im a tad late w/ this info..but oh well LOL..
I had 178 trick or treaters on Halloween! I ran out of candy had to shut the light off 15 mintues before it ended LOL
WHen i lived in Parma it was a very small amount... i bought a ton of candy but they just come coming in hourds LOL

GAC is inviting the fans to decide the TOP 50 Videos of 2006.
Vote for up to 10 each day. Here is the LINK
I hope we all do running tabs again for the awards.
Brooks & Dunn w/ Vince and Sheryl was a good opener. Ronnie Dunn can flat out sing.
Hey, we beat Kellie Pickler! Where's our invite? LOL
Best Song: The best song actually won! (Sambora is looking Haggard)
Commercial Note: I'm almost as sick of Chevy trucks and Mr. Mellencamp as I am of Political Ads.
Carrie Underwood: REALLY nice legs! Good performance.
Brad Paisley: The best I've heard him sound on one of these shows. Such an amazing guitar player!
Sugarland: Jennifer Nettles is money! She hits every note, every time. Whatever dude was wearing on his neck should be burned! LMAO
Gretchen Wilson: Best female voice in the biz today! Both times we worked with her she damn near popped speakers with her power. Damn she can sing.
Song of the year: I'm torn betweeen 8th of Novemebr and Believe.
Believe gets it again - great song!
Brooks & Dunn is winning everything! Video of the year. For overall video I liked 8th of November better.
Alan Jackson - I really like this song. I admire the fact that he took a chance on material that took him in another direction. Alan and George Strait's music will never get tired or old for me. Amazingly enough, neither of them do more than just stand there and sing. A testament to the power of an amazing voice.
Little Big Town - I thought it was Fleetwood Mac at first. "If you don't love me now, you will never love me again...." Same song isn't it?
Rascall Flats - I don't ever wanna hear about nasally again. It works in country music, so nah!
Kimberly is so cute!
Group - Gee, I wonder who wins? Man was I ever shocked when they read that.
AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH - Mellencamp again? Somebody shoot me!
Martina McBride - Such a great singer. I don't really care for the song, but she could sing the dictionary and make it sound good. I do wish that she would pick just one song that didn't have the overly dramatic drawn out note at the end though.
George F'n Strait - 'Nuff Said!
Kenny - Flat as usual, but still cute none-the-less!
The Wreckers - I could take it or leave it.
Duo of the year: I wonder who wins? OMG, I'm in shock! (Yawn) Why didn't they just re-name this years show the B&D show, literally. 4th CMA and Hosts.
Chevy Trucks and Mellencamp!!! I'm about to spew a phrase I never thought I'd say. Can I please see some political ads, PLEEEEAAZE?
Dierks Bentley - I love this song. I think this guy's music is incredible. Not one song from 3 albums that I don't like.
Eva is sooooo friggin hot!
Male Vocalist - Keith Urban! Get well soon. We all battle our own demons.
Miranda Lambert - Her voice really reminds me of Natalie from the chicks. I like her and her music. She's got attitude.
Musical event - Brad and Dolly. Good choice
Nobody else wants to play?
Okay, I'm done.

JDH
We agree again...it happens!
Little Big Town was one of four performances I saw while surfing between MNBC, CNN, fair/balanced Fox, and ABC last night.
If ya did NOT know LBT was parading around as country music, and flipped on during their performance; ya could have easily thought they were a Fleetwood Mac tribute band. SAD!
Unfortunately...the traditional differences between country and pop are so blurred to appeal to the masses. I blame the labels.
Also tuned in to see;
The Wreckers...a wreck!
Kenny...disappointing!
Alan Jackson...WOW!
Good Luck with The Bull on-air interview this morning.
Happy Election Day! Boy - I'll be glad when this is all over....so sick of the commercials as is everyone else I'm sure.
Great show last night but my opinion is that Miranda Lambert didn't even SING a song. She TALKED a song. She has talent; I just wasn't thrilled w/ her choice last night. I ended up taping the last half hour and missed Faith's reaction when Carrie U. won. All over the radio this morning...I'll check it out when I get home.
Hope the Bull interview went well, JDH. Great running commentary on the show last night BTW.
11/7
CMA's--It's now official. Country has become today's lite rock/easy listening music! This is the crap we used to make fun of. Where's Ernest Tubbs when you need him? Probably dead from shame over what country has become!
This is why I'm better off with the blues.
Be sure and vote. If you don't, shut the hell up!
So...it's ELECTION Day. I'm calling it VINDACATION day...Amen!
Forgot to tell ya, Mr. Webster and I both have the day off. He's feeling a little under the weather, and took advantage of one of his 420 accumulated sick days.
ME: With my hippie, "rose colored glasses wearing" husband, I am gonna witness the desirable measurable outcomes from a marketing action plan I began implementing three years ago. Today...we intend to celebrate change. Amen!
Today...Mr. Webster and I VOTE together for the first time.
A VOTING date. LOL
My ballot for change is cast.
nobeerhere
most of those posters belong to one camp, they come and go, just like all the other "country" blogs.
I still want to know where joebagadounut is?
The others...NOT so "curious", bet I could find them without the assistance of a sleuth.
BTW: I hope TREV (WTAM) has "Miorca"(sp)
heartburn the rest of the week.
Will Cleveland EVER get Progressive talk radio?
ANYONE taking political notes from this clear channel Rush-Wannabe deserves to be crying in their libations and chewing tums tonight!
Have a GREAT evening!
Well, I cast my vote for change as well. Only had to wait a mere 40 minutes to do so!
GOOD MORNING!
What a great day for OHIO!
Better off BLUE!
The majority have spoken! Period!
The people's referendum targeted the current administration and the anti-war sentiment.
That's it...no time for gloating or further commentary this morning.
Change is great but the smoking ban is NOT.
Non-smoker here, but think it is stupid to ban smoking in bars.
No slot machines either????
Really. I guess Ohio will never get with the times and keep up with neighboring states. With Ohio money going to continue to come their way, every state surrounding us is thrilled today.
I was looking at it more for the jobs it would bring to the area and the fact that it may keep money in Ohio rather than it going to other states. The lottery has done nothing for the kids and I don't think slots would either. I agree, they should have kept education out of it.
I am a smoker.....I am happy that issue 5 passed!
The issue is smoking in a "public" place. I don't believe I have the "right" to smoke in a public place, simply because I don't have the right to slowly kill anybody. It's really that simple. Can anybody say they have that right? You can argue that if you don't like the smoke, don't go in, but that argument is garbage. If it's a public place, then everybody has the right to be there.
This country spends billions on providing health care for people with no insurance, who have smoke related illness. A huge portion of that is coming from no-smokers I would bet.
Why should a non-smoker pay a penalty (monetary and health) because they were smart enough not to start?
The biggest scam around is health insurance. Employers pay big bucks so their employees can have insurance and those without insurance can go to any hospital and get fixed up without having to pay. They can go to Metro which has some of the best doctors around and not have to pay a cent. I believe that the "dangers" of secondhand smoke are GREATLY exaggerated. It's a wonderful excuse, though, for the non-smokers to use.... There are dangers walking down the street, crossing the street, etc. I was around smokers my entire childhood and I've managed to make it 42 years now. lol It's all about choice and ours was taken away. People were thrilled when we were paying extra taxes to help fund a stadium. We'll be paying even more taxes because of Issue 18....but yet we no longer have a choice where we can smoke?
I do NOT mean to sound heartless because there are people out there, I know, suffering from some ailments due to secondhand smoke. And there are plenty that are not.
Molly - even if it's true that danger of secondhand smoke is exaggerated, it's undeniable that there is still a danger. None of us have the right to "purposely" put another in danger. A smoker (like myself) knowingly and willingly puts themselves in harms way, which is a personal choice. You and I spend thousands of dollars to make ourselves unhealthy, and then run the risk of spending thousands more to treat illness due to our own stupidity.
I would like to see smoking made illegal!! LOL
I have seen some research, as well as interviews from bar owners in New York and some other cities. Every one of them was against the smoking bans, obviously, but to a person have said that business slowed in the beginning, then was back up in no time. I think that between the people who don't go to bars simply because of smoke (I bet it's more than most think) and people getting tired of staying home, it won't hurt as bad as you think.
On the positive side, it should help a whole new crop of people quit, and maybe deter some youth from starting. We can hope!
Ziggy - The interview was fun. I think it went pretty well for the first one. It's a little strange because you really don't have time to think about answers to questions. We were there from 8am to 10am and ended up with a total of about 11 minutes of air time. Everybody there was really great though. Nice people.
Ziggy, I agree 100%. The clubs are definitely going to lose business.
JDH, everything we do has a "risk" of some sort. Bottom line, it's a personal choice to smoke. And it's a personal choice for a non-smoker to limit their time in a place were there is smoke. If you go to place like Ace's, business is going to decrease because smokers are being "forced out" so to speak. The number of non-smokers suddenly patronizing the bar because the ban is in effect will NOT make up the number of smokers that left.
Glad the interview went well, JDH. Will we be able to eventually hear it on your website?
Molly - Waking up is a "risk" because you might die that day. Let me give you an example of why that arguement doesn't work though.
Driving: I get in my car every day. When I drive, it's to get somewhere. I have never purposely hit an object with my car. If something happens, it's an accident.
We don't accidentally cause lung and heart disease to non-smokers. We do it on purpose. We know that secondhand smoke causes health problems, exaggerated or not, it causes damage to others and we do it on purpose. Yes, we do it on purpose because we know it's harmful but do it anyway.
The only difference between me hitting someone with my car and blowing smoke for someone to breath is that one hurts instantly, the other takes a long time to hurt.
Molly - I posted the interview link on our MySpace and on the Blog.
Now, if ONLY I had sound at work. lol I'll check it out tonight.
WOW! I was watching Discovery today and was introduced to this group. They never buy food! They rummage through the garbage of grocery stores and other retailers to find perfectly good product that gets tossed to restock shelves. Pretty interesting stuff.
Bah - somehow I screwed up that link. Here it is: Freegan
We all obviously have our own opinions about the smoking ban and could keep going around and around. JDH, I do see your points. However, smokers' rights have been taken away and that is not fair. Non-smokers hold all the cards and benefit from smokers in many ways, once of which is every time they attend an Indians game in a newer stadium. Actually there are so few places people can smoke these days anyway, why can't non-smokers just choose not to frequent those few places. Oh wait, it's all about them; I forgot. I see both sides of the issue; I just wish both sides had a choice.
Ernie - you disagree with everything! I don't start my car in a closed room full of crowded people. If I did, you'd die, that's why you're not allowed to have cars running in a closed environment. In relation to the topic that was at hand, they already banned cars in bars and restaurants, so your arguement has no validity. However, you can smoke outside, which is the only place I get to start my car and keep it running as well. Coincidence...I don't think so!
Good Lord Boys and Girls
Rummy has resigned! Because there is NO progressive talk radio in my neck of the woods...I missed it.

LMFAO SHE WAS NOT HAPPY BUT OH WELL!! YEAH SHOULD ALL BE DONE BY JANUARY FROM WHAT I HEAR!
NoBeer - The alcohol arguement holds no water. Once again, with alcohol, when someone consumes it, it's a personal choice and does not flow into anybody else's mouth but your own. It's not the same thing.
Also, it wasn't done by the government per sae. Citizens petitioned until they had enough signatures to get it on a ballot. The public spoke up state-wide and passed that issue as a majority. The people have spoken, not the government.
Majority rule has been around forever. It's the way things work.
And yes I have consumed and driven. I try to watch not to consume too much and get behind the wheel. I hand over my keys now if I have more than a couple over the course of the evening. Getting older and assuming responsibility stinks! LOL

Dixie Chicks "Taking The Long Way"
Sales this week: 12,261
Cume: 1,689,621
With Rumsfeld gone, with the Democrats back in power, isn't it time to give a
reprieve to the Dixie Chicks? Isn't it time for country radio to admit it was
wrong, and reinstate the group on its playlist?
The nation is nowhere near as red as the media thought, we're not as
nationalistic, pro-Iraq as everybody thought, we're not all in support of George
Bush, THAT'S FOR SURE!
An olive branch is required. Too bad the CMAs were before the election. Like
the draft dodgers in Canada let back in the country in the Carter era, it's time
to allow these girls to come back home.
Furthermore, with these sales numbers, it seems the public is more enchanted
with the Chicks than MOST country artists!

At the 11th hour, the rest of the world will be observing Armistice Day...remembering their dead veterans , killed in wartime.
Sorta...the international “Memorial Day”.
Here in the United States it’s Veteran’s Day...honoring living war/peace time veterans.
A three day weekend in May, we honor the dead.
At one point, the US tried to make Veteran’s Day, a three day weekend...even moved it to October.

November 13, 2006
I thought the "honk" was cute.
Clever even!
Another Monday...another "clash"!
Does anyone even care anymore?
Again...I am "curious" about the recent change in the "clash". Am I the only person that thinks they MAY have eliminated the coveted prize of air-play?
Let's play 20 questions...one at a time.
Am I the only person that wants to see "Shut UP and Sing" and BORAT?
Ziggy
I am NEVER talking to myself.
The blog is being fussy.
Trouble logging on, cannot change profile...yada yada yada.
What is a beta blog?
Highly recommended?
CLUELESS!
NOT clueless to the complaint lodged against the blog...babies!
November 14, 2006
Good Morning!
Have a great Tuesday.
So little time...so much to say.
Maybe tonight.
A complaint against the blog? Seeing as no one is saying much, what does ANYONE have to whine about? Yet another person with way too much time on their hands.
With the holidays upon us, I was doing some research and reading last night and strolled upon THIS. It made for some interesting reading.
yea tommyo from 77south we hope to see all of you guys and gals at aces on friday night 9:00 to 1:00
or sunday at the browns game we will be on the south side (of course)
nobeerhere
PSA's are ALWAYS welcome!
tommyo
Thanks for popping in again.
Molly
The "nature" of the complaint is NOT disclosed...just that there is one. They scan, they read, they see it is unmerited and move on to the next whynner's complaint.
Meet Dordona >>>>>>>>
Hungarian Goddess of the Harvest.
Web, obviously they're aware that it's a bogus complaint from someone childish.
Nobeer, I'd love more information, i.e., contact name/number. I'm president of a non-profit here in Cleveland and I'd like to find out how to sponsor a whole family and I'll get the entire group involved.
And NO, the non-profit is NOT Heartland. :-)
Molly
I sooooooooooo appreciate your sense of humor!
BREAKING NEWS....
Gary Allan with Lawless
Cool Beans!
Blah, that's tired!
I'd rather see Gary Allan.
I almost forgot......
.......w/ Lawless!
Web - do you appreciate my sense of humor?
Molly - That was pretty damn funny. When you gonna get your happy arse out to see me. I'm sure the not-for-profit group wouldn't mind. LOL
Ooooops......sorry Zig. Yours was pretty dang funny too.
Gary will be at HOB Wed. and Thurs. nights.
Almost forgot..................
..............w/ Lawless.
November 15, 2006
Mrs. Webster's MySpace frequent TOP "friend", and featured Cleveland Country Blogspot artist, Rachel Williams, had her BIG industry showcase last night in Nashville. AWESOME!
Ya might remember Rachel...slaughtered by The Bull All-Star, Kellie Lynne.
Check out her website and MySpace.
My American Idol girl, Kellie Pickler...predicted to be an aspiring hairdresser by bloggers and Mr. Webster...WRONG!
A sitcom star is born !
OH, Kellie's album just debuted at number one on the Billboard country charts.
auto safety for your dog!?!?
Web is scraping the bottom of the barrel for advertisers.
A backpage ad for HL.
"Guest worker program available in the heartland"
Ziggy - Hank & Danny aren't "guests". I guess that hasn't sunk in for you yet. New lead singer for HL needs more practice time. Not too long ago, I recall a guitarist in another band not starting right away for the same reason. I don't know the details, but I do believe the guesting N.O.T. lead singer is moving out of the area and therefore will be unavailable to "guest".
JDH - have fun tonight! When might the December schedule be up on your site?
Web - I still don't think Pickler is all that talented.
molly is NOT displaying the sense of humor we just read about. Lighten up! It is silly to compare the "revolving guest program" to any other band in town.
Frankley, get over yourself. What's good for one band is good for another. Ziggy asked what happened to the other "guests" and I was attempting an answer.
Web - "Star" would indicate that she is already a success, and since we've all seen how many of the countless sitcoms last, that statement may be a little premature.
I'm not saying she will or she won't, but let's have a convo about her same time next year.
P.S. - Don't let release numbers fool you. Check the billboard status in January. After talking with AR and promotion people, those debut numbers are easily manipulated.
The bottom line is she is NOT back home in Carolinnnna doing hair!
Where is Kathryn?
Wednesday Night Entertainment
Curtis Brothers...Blue Moose
Heartland...ACE's
Lawless...HOB w Gary Allan
Mr. Webster/Swamp...The Savannah
JDH - sorry I missed you at Ace's last night! Guess I should've hung around a bit longer but it was a school night and I had to get my daughter home..... Next time....
Molly - We showed up after everybody took off I guess. It was nice to see everybody that did stick around though.
HOB was incredible last night. So many nice comments on the show.
Yeah, it seemed like most people left during a break. Packed one minute and then they were gone....
Hope tonight's show is just as incredible.
I hear Taylor Hicks career is booming as well!
He was such a bad choice for what that program is supposed to be.
Smart girl that Kathryn LOL :)
Hey--I just read that Kellie and Tanya Harding are teaming up for the new show. It'll be a remake of "Cagney and Lacy."
JDH
Ya know I LOVE Taylor....he has soul when he sings. Mr. Webster made me a CD off Idol songs. Taylor is AWESOME to listen to. He sings from the heart...try it, ya might like it!
nobeerhere
Rest assured I will blog about my girl for a long time to come. I picked her the first night.
My prayer for her...a better life!
AMEN!
Pickler can be set. She deserves to change her quality of life and have unbridled JOY in her accomplishments. It's rumored she has moved her little brother and grandpa out of the back forty.
There is a lunatic boyfriend lurking around...that could spell trouble and humiliating headlines.
tommyo
Go BROWNS. Just so ya know Pittspuke sucks...except for NoMad and Ernie!
My REAL job has taken over my life.
Breakfast for twenty in the morning. Gotta catch the news early. I can NOT be puffy in the morning!
The Greater Cleveland Alzheimer's Association acknowledged the Cleveland Country Cares event in an email blitz to the board of trustees. Association staff, trustees and volunteers remarked that it was an AWESOME event, well attended, and raised almost 9000 dollars.
Web - Taylor can sing his ass off, I will never dispute that. What I said was that he was the wrong choice. The show is called American Idol and an "Idol" he is not. No disputing that fact.
I hope Kelly makes a bazillion dollars. I just think she won't have any lasting power.

TGIF
YEAAAAAAAAAAAA it's Friday!
Both nights with Gary were amazing! My thoughts on it are HERE!

Ernie
Plain and simple...
PITTSPUKE sucks!
Cleveland is just a horrible team. How many games this year have they went into the locker-room with a lead and come out playing conservative. A bunch of 3 and outs, let the other team back into it and find a way to lose at the end. New orleans, Baltimore, San Diego and now PittsPUKE! $ games they just GAVE away. It's getting really hard to stay a Browns fan.
P.S. PittsPUKE is going nowhere this season either.
November 20, 2006
Monday...where did the weekend go?
Time is flying by. Thanksgiving already?
We are approaching another milestone at Cleveland Country Blogspot...maybe one of those folks that denies they log-on will be the 300,000th hit.
Well...
Thank God, the OJ Simpson 2 night extravaganza planned during November sweeps has been nixed.
Good Lord...their own (FOX) Network personalities were in an uproar and planning a boycott of advertisers. Murdoch MUST have gotten the memo.
Blog is fussy...again!
The rumoured wedding bells for Hardy are just that...rumours!
Same for the divorces!
It is ALWAYS a treat to get a call from thee "L" band frontman. For the record...the only story JDH was able to confirm with certainty was his own marital status.
Looking ahead to New Year's Eve.
Just so ya know...I will bitch and moan again this year about the outrageous pricing. Remember last year...Fat Boy's $25.00...LOL!
ACE's is asking $75.00 a pop to bring in 2007.
I believe it is $5.00 to get in. But I THINK you get in for free if you're there before 9 PM. Hope things are going well with you, Nobeer.
November 22, 2006
GOOD MORNING!
Another day crammed full of tasks, driving through the countryside, and appointments. I have a BRIGHT spot scheduled...Amen!
Today, I will be speaking at a Senior Center. I booked this speaking engagement 3 months ago. I specifically requested the day before Thanksgiving.
The center's calendar misprinted the title of my presentation. It says "Be Grateful"...the title is actually "I'm Grateful".
I'm grateful for senior adults. Grateful for their sacrifices and contributions to the greatest nation in the world.
The mothers of the "baby boomers" will hear that "I'm Grateful" for the doors they opened, the path they led, and the strength they passed down to their daughters.
The fathers will be thanked for defending our country, building our infrastructure, perfecting transportation, taking on labor issues, and maintaining the crop to feed us all.
The ladies will recall serving our country in the workforce building the tanks and air crafts during the war...and then birthing and taming the suburbs.
I choose to speak to them for the many many blessings in my lifetime. "I'm Grateful".
Sadly, too many "blessings" of the greatest generation will be alone tomorrow....
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.
I agree with Char, Nobeer, save the $5.00.
Wish I only had to bring mashed potatoes and rolls! Making an all out dinner for just my daughter and I. Leftover for a week I guess.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!
If you're traveling, be safe.
Happy Thanksgiving to Everyone. I am cooking just for the 3 of us tomorrow. Xmas will be hectic enough .. SO we'll have a small dinner at home and then go visit. Course I'm doing baking and everything. Ill be quite busy but it'll be worth it!
I hope everyone has a safe and happy Thanksgiving. We all have much to be thankful for...including friends.
I will be trying to join some friends tonight at Fat Fish Blue to show our thanks for Robert Lockwood Jr's friendship.
Thanksgiving you very good!
Web & Mr. Web, thanks for the card. Many blessings to you and the family.
Happy Thanksgiving!
November 23, 2006
Truthfully, I LOVE to cook. I cannot seem to get away from the tradition of the holiday. Mr. Webster was stunned to find a turkey in the fridge. I plan to make the "traditional" meal tomorrow.
Today...Mr. Webster and I are hosting a pumpkin pie social at a senior center for the "shut-ins". Their meals were delivered yesterday in cardboard trays to be nuked at their convenience. This year we are expecting 45-50 to join us in the dining room with their "meals on wheels" for pumpkin pie and hazelnut coffee.
Mr. Webster helped bake pies last night...he watched the timer, and took the last one out of the oven at 10:31, maybe @ 10:32. I have no clue...I went to bed at 9:31, and was asleep at 9:32.
Have a GREAT day! Be sure to thank the seniors in your path, for EVERYTHING they have contributed to our society and our way of life.
They are STILL the greatest generation.
November 24, 2006
It's FRIDAY...
Are you gonna shop to ya drop?
Me neither...LOL!
Black Friday is NO longer the bargain bonanza. Honestly...it's better to wait until later in December to get the best deals and mark downs. Better yet...gift cards, for the day after Christmas.
Back to twenty questions...
What typically "Country" venue had a "Hip-Hop" act Thanksgiving Eve?
Why did Saddle Ridge cancel their live country act Thanksgiving Eve?
Am I the only one that knows the answer to the change in
"Clashing Country"?
Turkey is in the oven. Mr. Webster thinks I'm insane. NOW...he tells me he doesn't like stuffing!
Just in case the day gets away from me....

Me? I'm going to the Three-Legged Dog! Just the name makes it some place to check out!
better than a three legged cat?
No, no, no! It's a one-eyed snake and a three-legged dog. A black capped tooth and a mojo bone!
And anyone who wouldn't leave her alone, she'd go.................
.......Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...
....another man done gone!
Where the hell were you tonight, sir Foot? Molly managed to make it out!
By the way, nice chatting you up Ms. Molly!
What fun, first thing on Sunday morning...to picture ya both singing one of my all time favs.
LOVE that song!

no, you are not the only one that knows the answer.
bet I could explain the ridiculous ads too. Truck driver maps????
John, great seeing you last night. As usual, you guys all sounded great.
John-
The best laid plans...yada yada yada! I stayed home and re-introduced myself to my wife and kids Saturday. Guess what, THEY LIKE ME, THEY REALLY LIKE ME!!!
Might be out this weekend.
Expect me when you see me!!!!!!
Tonight...Sunday after Thanksgiving.
Curious if people are out partying on Sunday night after a major holiday. Black River Band @ Willougbhy Brewing...plan on an early night.
ME: I can NOT be puffy in the morning. A tip my younger colleagues (male/female) should attempt to replicate.
OK...I have an opinion on Saddle Ridge cancelling Kentucky Thunder on Thanksgiving Eve. Do I dare share it with the public? Frankley might be on to something. Things that make me go hmmmmmmm.
As far as 98.3 The Bull prize...an overwhelming majority of Cleveland Country Blogspot readers appreciated the attempt to give local Cleveland country artists air play.
Ya have to admit...looking back, there were plenty of issues with the process...PERIOD.
We got our "L" clash...thanks!
It was the only REAL 98.3 The BULL clash...competitive, and basically fair.
We put 98.3 The BULL on the map outside of fillpen Ashtabula and Pittspuke....PERIOD.
I am willing to bet real money we raised their ratings. Despite my loathe of clear channel, I played along. My rose colored glasses rationale; 98.3 The BULL was going to play your record more than once.
Honestly, 98.3 The BULL gave ya all a better shot than WGAR, who BTW have been using you as slave labor for years. WGAR gave ya all name recognition, but 98.3 The BULL gave ya airplay...PERIOD.
Ah and personally, I thought 98.3 The BULL fawned a tad too much over Miss Kellie Lynne. Good Lord!
What a flippen gorgeous day. First...I slept-in.
Good Lord...we are thankful we did NOT lose a family member over the holiday...a horrible, frightening chocking incident, complete with a rescue squad and GOD. Bless her heart...
Thankful for the weather.
Can I get an Amen on that?
Mr. Webster and I are sooo way ahead of schedule with the holiday thing. Got the Christmas lights UP, the deer assembled, and the bows attached. Christmas shopping has been a breeze...almost done.
The yard is in tip-top shape! Mr. Webster is VERY proud, and knows he has saved a ton of money on the spring clean-up. Planted mums. Made a turkey pot pie for dinner. Mr. Webster loved it! Yeaaa!
Yippy, skippy the laundry is done.
I'm in my jammies...life is GOOD, and so much to be thankful for.
Thanksgiving 2006 was ALMOST perfect.
I am saddened this morning.
I've been a huge sports fan for as long as I can remember. Before ESPN exploded there was only one place to get your sports highlights and that was the local TV news. I watched him religiously every night to see how the Tribe, Browns or Cavs had faired that day, see a few other clips from around the leagues and get all the scores. He always ended his spot with his trademark "pen flip" and the words "we're rounding third and headin' home".
He has finally made it home after a fight with Pancreatic Cancer. He was only 55.
R.I.P. Casey Coleman
Monday, November 27, 2006
JDH
You are right...it is a sad day for Clevelanders. Casey was the man in Cleveland sports. Rounding third and safe at home.
Char
You are right...Thanksgiving should be everyday. Hope you get the ladder of your dreams for Christmas.
Foot
You are right...the best plans are the plans NOT written in stone. Thanks for the Elvis Anniversary card.
Web
Have you hmmmed long enough? Saddle Ridge gypted a band.
Since when do you moderate and sugar coat your own opinions.
Tip toeing around the bull too.
Where is the real Webster?
Casey Coleman was one of the good guys and got a raw deal when he was canned from TV. I couldn't even tell you who replaced him.
November 28, 2006
Good Morning
There does NOT appear to be a "Clashing Country" this week. Has the whole concept been abandoned? Maybe.
How many no-name unsigned country music artists could they possibly add to their playlist without getting caught?
Casey Coleman was a Cleveland sports icon to many. The tributes have been a blast from the past and bittersweet especially the coverage from Channel 8.
Was Casey was fired from Channel 8 over his supportive position/commentary regarding Art Model taking the Browns to Baltimore? Could be...it certainly wasn't a popular position, especially in the immediate aftermath. Hating/blaming Model was easier and made better sound bites...than investigating and waiting for the truth. Truth always takes longer.
North of Texas
The Scene ad for Parma Tavern this week says Tuesday is open mic night.
grinch
Welcome back...is there something in particular I can help you with?
Clashing Country
NO evidence of a clash this week...on 98.3 The BULL.
It was a quick scan...but I could NOT find the Clashing Country link on their main page. I did get a personalized message from Roger McCoy today...thanks to my bull pen membership. How may of those did we produce for ya??? HUH...didn’t hear ya.
Hey Mrs. Webster,
We here at 98.3 The BULL want to personally invite you to our Country Christmas Bash at Jewels Dance Hall on Saturday, December 23rd! We're bringing in Cody McCarver, Lawless, and Cedar Creek to play all night for you.
The doors open at 7pm and the boys from McCoy in the Morning will be dressing up as Santa and his elves (yeah...better leave the kids home for this one) to pass out the Christmas presents from Country Living Connection of Remax Destination in Jefferson, Fulltime Indoor Inflatable Playground, and The BULL's Christmas Closet.
Don't wait...or you'll miss your chance to keepChristmas Country with Cody McCarver, Lawless, Cedar Creek, Jewels Dance Hall, and 98.3 The BULL!
Well that's a nice FREE plug for Lawless! So what's wrong with that?LOCAL country getting some well deserved props!IMHO
I have to say that Roger and the staff over at 98.3 are working hard to help establish us over there in Eastern OH. and Western PA.
Props to "The Bull"! Maybe we can be "their boys" now, and we can use nepotism and..........etc, etc, etc.
Haven't heard that run of crap in a while and thought it could use a reset! LMAO
timj
Did I say there was anything WRONG with the "personalized", mail merge generated bulletin from Roger McCoy?
IMHO; given OUR history of WHO said what, and how easily YOU jump to conclusions and run amuck...please allow me to clarify.
NO...I did NOT say there was anything wrong with the content of 98.3 The BULL message.
Obviously!
I posted it and linked it. Perhaps, after your proclamation that you would NEVER even look at this blog again (LOL), ya missed the post stating "unwavering" support of Lawless.
Most readers received their very own "personalized" message from Roger via mandatory bull pen membership to vote in the Country Clashes. For the record...my issue is I have been receiving the "personalized" messages for months, however I NEVER received a confirmation email (NOT ONE) while voting in the Country Clashes.
JDH
Yes dear...it could be nepotism. The resemblance between you and Roger is uncanny. Brothers...
Web - Don't be sharing all my secrets! If some "campers" catch wind that my long lost brother is working at a radio station, any talent we may have will be discredited once again.
Once again I have tried to offer an input to a blurb and get reminded of our past Web! Well I will just move my little ass right along now with my tail between my legs. Didn't mean to imply you had a problem with it it was in the form of a question. Nice job JDH and company. Merry New Year ALL.
Oh come on Grinch, who are you calling easy?
It was a technical difficulty of some sort....like a CD was skipping over and over and over. Totally annoying but it only took about 15 minutes for them to fix it this time.
It's funny when that happens! They don't even use CD's anymore though. Everything is done on a PC and the only time you have a live jock is Mantel & Michelle in the morning and Chuck in the afternoon usually. Most of the time the other programming is recorded prior to the airing. All they have to do now is their little blurbs because everything else is programmed into the PC. I watched someone record a 3 hour show in 20 minutes at "The Bull", and it was the next day's show at that!
To clarify, my experience has been with ClearChannel stations.
Thanks for the lesson, JDH. I had no idea how that works.
"Love exciting and New. Come aboard we're expecting you " "THE LOVE BOAT!" lol dont mind my I think Im goin INSANE!! :)
Psst.. its SOMEONE on this blogs bday tomorrow.. ANY GUESSES? NOOO NOOO NOT MINE LOL
Char
I need a Thursday night country update...missed Wednesday night completely.

Nataline Maines has been as nice as she could possibly stomach during their tour.
I have read every review of every concert here and abroad. Natalie Maines is NOT ready to make nice, it's evident, but she DOES know how behave in public.
The Dixie Chick concert Mr. Webster and I attended was flippen AWESOME!!! We knew we made the right concert decision as far as the entertainment budget.
The Dixie Chick event was LIKE a freaken holy experience. We knew why we were there and felt their JOY...
Feeling the same way about the Grammy Nominations. JOY!
More JOY...Oscar buzz is starting for the Dixie Chicks "Shut-up and Sing" documentary.
Check out this review of "Shut Up and Sing"
Country Music's Blacklisting Of The Dixie Chicks
The Dixie Chicks and country music radio stations still aren't "ready to make nice."
