I detest Clear Channel and WGAR.
I believe we have a clear example of "dichotomy"...
WGAR Super Star Contest
Winner receives $1000 and 100 spins on WGAR.
The Rules...there are four pages of rules.
I hope they run their contest better than The Bull did!!!
Forgot the part about...
the "winner's" submission will then be sent to Capitol Nashville’s Vice President of A&R for critique and professional advice.
Entry deadline is October 9th.
Ummm...I shoulda/coulda predicted Jerry Brightman landing in Lawlessville. Wish I woulda!

10/1
The circle is unbroken!

I would like to re-visit the ridiculous concept that ONLY the few and the proud who have stood before us at Fat Boys, Aces, and The Lamplighter can judge what sounds GOOD.
Also...
I am thinking BULLETPROOF is a pretty BOLD statement considering the history in the HEARTLAND.

There are some good bands in the Fox 8 contest, but there are some others.....!
Uncle Kracker has been fined $1,500 and sentenced to 12 months of probation after pleading guilty to assaulting a woman at a Raleigh, N.C., nightclub last month. He was arrested on Aug. 17 after appearing at an outdoor concert. Prosecutors said the entertainer had been drinking heavily when he visited the club and stumbled down a staircase into the woman, who alleged he groped her buttocks and her vaginal area.
Kelly Ripa is 37 today.

Morning All...
Ya don't have to go far for an escape. I found a perfect spot just 20 miles west. West of us.
Last night...we watched the sun disappear as we walked our favorite little beach, splashing in the waves, and left behind love notes in the sand.
This morning...when I opened the curtains it was still dark. There was a brillent crescent moon, and huge stars.
The sun came up over the trees bout an hour ago. The canal/river has been shimmering and there has been a constant boat parade.
NOTHING to be annoyed about...
10/6
Slow dancing on the beach at sunset. A beautiful Friday night.
TONIGHT--THE SWAMP BOOGIE BAND AT SAVANNAH'S--9:00!

October 7, 007
Sorry to the BANDS that were REJECTED by WGAR for the Super Star Contest.
There was something about TSA in the four pages of rules.
ME: I didn't think it applied to the "contestant", I thought it applied to voters.
All the mumbo jumbo about more than one station and being conducted in several states is confusing.
Anyway...October 15, @ 12:00 a.m. WGAR will post all selected entries, per their "exclusive three judge panel", on the WGAR
website for voting.
Ya MIGHT have to be a "loyal listener" to vote.
Each week, half of the "artists" will be voted off.
There is a whole paragraph about NOT annoying each other, and being sportsman like...yada yada yada.
LOL!
If I were speaking to JDG...
I would tell him "Get There From Here" is NOT the winner and will NOT make him/Lawless a Super Star.
There...I said it and you read it!
Don't care what people are telling him/them.
It ain't that great, it's NOT radio ready and he/they certainly don't have the numbers to support the claim...that it's GOLD.
Yes...he actually said that! Don't care if he denies it.
Been there!
In the unlikely event that I am WRONG...I will admit as much.
10/7
Let the battle commence!
Garth Brooks on Saturday (Oct. 6) sold out nine concerts at Kansas City's Sprint Center, a new arena designed to seat approximately 18,000 people. The shows, taking place Nov. 5-12, sold out in just under two hours.

Simon Cowell is 48.
Johnny Cougar is 56.

Monday Morning
Ya gotta ask yourself out loud...of the 67 bands NOW nominated for My Fox Cleveland/ Best Local Band, there is only ONE with a negative comment.
Of course, it's Swamp/Mr. Webster.
LOL, can't imagine who would write/post this...
Anonymous
"The singers are good, but have a very boring and stoned sounding band. Pass on this unless you are a wine drinker."
Somewhat clever...but NOT very witty. LOL!
Hmmm...were you clever enough to post the comment from a different computer than ya voted from?
Ummm...ya can have all the email addresses in the world.
It's the computer...ya jack ass!
The game is on.
I am putting my money and a bottle of Chardoney on Webster.
Sharon,
First and foremost I will not hide behind a fake name, everything I am about to say is coming straight from me, my mouth, and key board !!
I have read your blog here and there , laughing at some of the stuff that goes on.
You criticize, bands, people, choices and effort that they put in to making their lives what they want them to be.
Your posts do nothing but poke and prod at people in pathetic attempts to get the pot stirred up and keeping attention drawn to yourself so that you are entertained.
You of all people should know how much work, blood, sweat and tears goes into making a band, playing gigs, getting paid, having fun, taking care of the family, and trying to get your name out there.
You live with someone who does every single one of those things.
Yet you seem to always have something negative to say about others.
Get off your horse and come back to reality that you and your family are no different then every other single musician's family in this city, busting their butts .
I saw a post a few weeks ago that said. Your quote........
In my last conversation with JDg, I made a point of saying the following..."honey, I love you no matter what I say or blog, no matter what...you know that...right."
That is such crap, do you tell your kids or husband " no matter how bad I talk about you, in an attempt to entertain myself and others , I still love you?"
What would you do if someone for example: Mr. king said that to you?
Picture this on a web page where a lot mutual friends visit....
"My wife is a B****, nag and never shuts up, she has no talent , and sucks at her job that she loves so much"
But yet HE comes home and says "baby you know I love you right?"
I cannot give lawless a record deal, make someone a doctor or lawyer. What I can do is not put down other people for doing what they love and working so hard at it!
I am really curious what makes you a "specialist" in the music industry to tell someone wether or not their songs are radio ready or good enough?
I am in no way shape or form a music guru , but all these men and women bust their butts day in and out !
I try as much as I can to keep my mouth shut and support the people I love, but once in awhile I cannot hold it back . Today is the lucky day !
I do know one thing, John let you into his life with walls down, and I think that goes for a lot of other people who have befriended you.
Let me just say you lost a great friend because you forgot to think before you spoke. Most people do not know John they know "JDH" , I fell in love with JOHN as an incredibly loving, and caring person who would give you the shirt off his back if you ever needed it.
Please by all means keep posting, but do me a favor before you post your next rude ,degrading comment, remember one thing. Your husband is no different than any of the musicians trying so hard that you speak so low about !
janel
You are way out of your league.
Honey...I'm home.
sweetandpetite
Ya need to get a grip, and follow along.

Wow! Quite an impassioned missive!
Jo Dee Messina completed the Chicago Marathon on Sunday (Oct. 7), with a finish time of 5:45:48. She ran the 26.2-mile race with her brother, Vincent Messina, who completed the course in 4:52:37.
Matt Damon is 37 today.
Chevy Chase is 64.
Dennis Kucinich is 61.
1956--Don Larson pitches the only perfect game in World Series history.
First...
I am NOT a music guru or specialist.
I understand market trends.
OH...and If I like the song, it matters ALOT.
Ya see... I analyze feasibility, study demographics and predict sales trends for a living.
My strategic focus groups are right on the money.
My personal country music tastes are very very similar to an overwhelming majority of the females on the planet.
Ummm...I can appreciate the love song.
Understand completely...the passion for your song.
But it ain't the ONE.
IF I am wrong...I will admit as much.
I don't know if this is more of the First or the beginning of Second...
I do NOT listen to WGAR.
So...in that regard, I have no clue what they play.
Ummm...are they (WGAR) the GURUs?
I cannot stomach WGAR...I JUST can NOT.
But...I know WHAT country music is receiving air/play time and/or downloads.
I pay very very close attention to the play lists and country charts. The indies too.
I subscribe/read 18 music market related blogs.
I read the bulletins and the trades.
I have a fairly clear picture of the market, and what is selling and what isn't.
I've been studying the country music market for 7 years.
I acquiesce...I am NOT a GURU.
Maybe, a senior level specialist.
Captain Tony needs to remove Lawless from his MySpace TOP FRIENDS.
It's unfortunate one of the BEST opportunities for Cleveland country is such a clear example of "dichotomy".
Im gonna step up here and say that I have to agree w/ Janel. Im entitled to my opinion here and Im with Janel on this. These guys ALL work hard at what they do while maintaining a "normal" life as well. Cheron, I m gonna just say this you think John does this solely because he loves doing this? No... hes trying to make a life for him and his girls and ya cant blame him for that..Im not gonna make this a long post.. Janel has said it and said it well. Sure MOST of the 'digs' for MOST bands are deserved because of their behavior and such.. but if your going to criticize be sure its a full circle of criticism no ONE is perfect! Im done!
nakkedmonkey
Are you saying as long as no one is critical of Lawless the blog is fine?
"MOST" bands deserve the digs, but Lawless does not?
Lawless has had a free ride on this blog.
Im not saying that.. Im saying that everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I agree w/ Janel that these guys ALL work hard. She knocks on guys who do the same thing as her husband. Simon dont try to match wits with me! Your not worth the time.Im not gonna continue to discuss this I said what I have to say.
Oh dear. Web, I cannot help but wonder if this is the "hurricane" you were predicting. I have no idea what happened between you and John, and truly it is probably none of my business, but to be honest, well, I have been noticing a change in your tone on about everything for weeks.
I think instead of being so "middle of the road" and protective when it comes to this blog, you need to just come out with it. This is by no means a challenge, but in my opinion, you are kinda starting to suck.
I never realized you were such an "authority" on music, but I hate to say it, you thought Kelly Pickler was going to make it and frankly, she flopped. Not even breast implants and fancy shoes helped her.
Lawless is a local band, and no matter what you may think you know or don't know...you support your FRIENDS and local bands and don't bash them on a forum where you so adoringly have supported them in the past. That sucked. Sorry, when you said it I truly thought "What the hell is she thinking?".
You stand by being able to say what you want, but really, what possessed you to be so rotten? It just leads me to believe that things have gotten a little boring on here and like a television station you are looking for ratings, or in this case attention. Well you got it, but you have managed to lose some respect from me. Not saying I won't visit, but really, was it worth it?
P.S. Nice to see you hellcat.
My tone has changed.
My girl...Kellie Pickler
Signed a multi-tier recording contract with BNA Records.
Small Town Girl sold 708,425 copies.
Small Town Girl topped Billboard's Country Album Chart at #1.
"Red High Heels" music video reached #1 on GAC Top 20 Countdown.
Her third single is about to be
released.
She has performed at The Grand Ole Opry, three times.
She has been nominated for the CMT Video Awards for Best Breakthrough Artist Video.
She has been nominated for Academy of Country Music as a Top New Female Vocalist.
She is currently on tour with Brad Paisley.
Hardly...a FLOP!
There hasn't been anything "rotten" posted about Lawless.
Lawless has managed to escape any critisim because of the way Mrs. Web was manipulated by Hardy.

My goodness!The plot thickens.
1973--Elvis and Priscilla divorce.
John Lennon would be 67 today.

October 10, 007
Ahh...the last day of work before VACATION. Amen.
Looks like perfect timing.
For the handful of people that are REALLY paying attention...
My best bet is to STOP being miffed and treat it like any other dysfunctional relationship that spirals out of control.
JDg and I are breaking up...it appears it will NOT be amicable.
It will be like any other divorce...harsh, mean-spirited, and unsavory.
Video...video...video.
Everyone wants to see the country bumpkin and her new tata's strutting in her "red high heels". Big deal.
She is coming off of American Idol, people are curious. Do you really think people are buying tickets to Brad Paisley to see her? Seriously, let's see how her second album does.
Just my opinion, I am not impressed, by her, or your rattling of statistics...I heard her sing live on a CMT special and she was not quite right. Let's not forget her less than star quality performance on her reappearance on American Idol last year either.
nough said.
It is funny how you only commented on my quips on KP and nothing else. Guess you gotta pick your battles, huh?
nobeerhere
You posted yesterday, you weren't interested in the Web/Lawless fracus. Today, you are looking for responses to all your quips.
Kellie Pickler has a country music career, pretty good for 6th place. Your opinion is she's not your cup of tea. You don't care for her. Fine and well.
I am with Web, the new Lawless single is not that good, something about it is not quite right.
OK...I am holding my head in sorrow.
Jesus, Joseph and Mary...it's NOT over Cleveland Country.
When I am NOT working or wifing...I want to change the world.
The only thing JDg has said that makes any sense...in the big picture...it's but a blip.
I am NOT in the mood to re-hash JDg. Although...I do get a chuckle out of his claim he will never utter my name again.
Anyway...I am NO longer crushed.
I am the VINDICTIVE scorned woman...OMG!
nobeerhere
I must have wanted to say something to nobeerhere...

mrs. webster
I am trying to keep my composure (laughing quietly) after reading "who would delete their mom". Your myspace is awesome.
Web, I like her song "the other side of E" better than the one you have playing on your website....see, I did go and listen.
I like her better than KP...I think if she would have had the "American Idol" engine behind her she would have gone further...just my lil ole opinion though!
10/11
Check some of the other ladies she has found. You'll be amazed how many really good artists you never heard of there are.Check my MySpace for some great country and rockabilly bands from all over the world.

Won't have time to rifle through the archives to point out inconsistencies or thee obvious.
The keepers...I separate for better time management.
The ramblings of the hardy boy are just that. Personally, I think he's gone off the deep end...
I am NOT going to mess with the ramblings today...it's Mr. Webster Day.

October 16, 007
Have ya listened to the WGAR Super Star submissions or did ja just blindly vote?
Did ja read the bios?
Don't you want to know who was on the exclusive 3 judge panel that made these selections?
Umm...I do.
Ahhh...where is Laredo?
I actually listened to them all last night. I think that there is some talent included in the list but what do I know? I know what I like to listen to, but "musically" speaking...I'm the first to admit that I know nothing.
I listened to them. Many are pretty amature.
I agree with Molly, I know what I like. What was the criteria for being included? I thought I read somewhere there were going to be 32. It looks like a slam dunk for Lawless.
Was WGAR advertising this contest at all?
What about the bands that were told they did not qualify?
I hate to say it, but it is a little too convienient that the contest pool is so weak.
Ummm....I am still stuck at; where is Laredo?
Is it possible, the Laredo tracks are embellished with say...The Curtis Brothers, and NOT usable for this contest???
Did the Lawless folks "borrow" Jerry for their new single?
Hmmm...now that's interesting isn't it?
BTW: Shameless has surpassed Lawless in the Fox contest, doubt that Lawless cares...now that they have their eyes on the big enchilada.
So sad...I wasted my one and only Hot List vote on Lawless.
Isn't that dreadful...given the rambling hardy boy has resorted to calling me a homewrecker.
WGAR Super Star
Tony Rio/Relentless is my fav.
I know WEB - Everyone's an asshole but you and your husband.
Talking crap again that you know nothing about.
Criticizing musicians when you can't even play a washboard. Not to mention your tin ear, brazen attitude, and slanderous demeanor.
You're pretty much inconsequential, wrong most of the time with your opinions, assumptions, and predictions of other peoples relationships, but your good at creating a lot of enemies. I never thought I could feel as disgusted with someone I use to have a lot in common with. How's that for a "Betrayal Of My Values" and "Vindictiveness"
No One Cares About Your Blog - We just read it to
see who is the next unfortunate victim to be drawed and quartered. I guess it's me now - Bring it on !
rubyking
I play the washboard very well.
If I am incorrect with my assumption that you assisted Laredo with their tracks...take it to Hardy. He's the one that told me ya did!
In addition, I am NOT in the mood for your mood swings.
It MUST be near the full moon.
For the record...I am usually CORRECT, when it is all said and done! The truth ALWAYS takes longer.
I was thinking out loud...as to why Laredo isn't in the contest.
Doesn't make much sense...now does it?
Ummm...ya can NOT make a case for Laredo is NOT good enough when there were 10 additional slots, and some of the ones that were selected by the exclusive three judge panel really really suck!
My ears are NOT made of tin. I am NOT deaf like MOST musicians.
I have NOT slandered anyone...PERIOD!!
With the "friends" in this crowd who needs enemies!
Yeah so I assisted Laredo with their demo tracks, none of them were mastered, mixed, or dolled up. They are what they recorded. period. No bells and whistles, no extended takes, not hours and hours of mixing and overdubs. I did it as a favor for them. They still sound better than you playing a washboard BTW. You talk about mood swings ??? Let's be serious here. They didn't make the WGAR contest, neither did we - so what ? I know you support Clear Channel now don't you ? National GOP radio. You have Bush logic... It's my way and I won't waver on anything. Stay the course. You're not always right, and you teeter on slanderous remarks all the time.
You have personally hinted and made a folly out of my band's recent misfortune. You said Tim J and I removed each other from our MY Space pages. We didn't. You hinted that Jerry, Rocky John, and Tim, were pretending to be friends when we weren't by saying that's what they all say. I don't have a issue with any musician or country fan in this town. - Only you. I wish Lawless, (and my friend Jerry) the best of luck in the future. Same with Laredo, Foot, Kentucky Thunder, Rocky John and all the rest of the local talent out there. But that will be twisted into something I didn't say or truly believe somehow. Next time you have a preminition about something pertaining to me or my band why don't you have the guts to ask me personally. I have no reason to lie to you, for in the long run this blog has no relevance to anyone except those who thrive on gossip, bullshit, and the misfortunes of others. Go take a Midol you're annoying me.
rubyking
You have read way too much into my OP/ED. I can't help it that you internalize EVERYTHING!
I said the removals were from TOP friends. YES...it happened!
I said NOTHING about you, timj or Rocky John specifically pretending to be anything.
Are you saying you submitted to WGAR and were denied?
If that is the case...that really sucks, NOW doesn't it?
Yeah whatever... you win
Did the Midol kick in yet ?
Generally Speaking...
The difference between country music fans AKA consumers and "musicians".
BTW: The overwhelming majority are females 10-35 YOs. My personal demographic is third in purchasing power/decisions.
We don't give a rat's ass about the rifts and lines.
Occasionally we might recognize a specific "musical" ability.
Like...wow, that was an awesome sax solo.
We don't differentiate between lead guitars and rhythm guitars.
We understand bass/percussion...cause that's what we dance to.
Ummm... something like; that has a nice beat!
We like what we like.
Woman are lyrical...NOT instrumental.
We like voice, the words...NOT the keyboard.
Umm...women hear differently than men...look it up!
Apparentely some of them like to cause trouble and mayhem too.
You spend too much researching worthless crap, and analyzing everything. Talk about me !

Face it ,guys. She's right. The average Joe at most clubs is not there to hear your virtuosity. They want to hear songs they know!Most don't know an 1/8 note from an excuse note,and don't care.If it sounds close they're happy. How many crappy versions of "Keep Your Hands to Yourself" have you heard?BUT THEY STILL DANCED!!!
Vote for "Hillbilly Bartender." He's probably the only authentic one in the bunch.
Actor-comedian Jamie Foxx will appear with Rascal Flatts at the 2007 CMA Awards show. Foxx, who won an Academy Award for his portrayal of Ray Charles in the film Ray, will join the trio to perform "She Goes All the Way," a song he recorded with them for their new album, Still Feels Good.

Ummm...good thing the Indians were on, to de-escalate the ruby.
Comparing me to George Bush...now that was original...NOT.
timj did it a few months back.
I am confident that I detest Clear Channel and WGAR.
Yeppers, I have been very consistent in that statement and it is well documented...so it MUST be authentic.
So...how long did it take the ruby to "research" the Midol pic. LOL!
It took 2 minutes to google and upload the Midol image.
For the record-
We did not enter the WGAR contest, We didn't enter the Fox 8 contest, I don't know how we got involved with that..Hell we don't even have a full band yet.
The "Ruby" is just fine, the only thing intereresting on this blog is your husband's daily trivia.
The rest is just harmful and disrespectful to those of us trying to make a living playing music.
The only reason rubyking logs on is to read the trivia.
Then read the trivia and be done with the blog. Instead you post another one of your unpredictable rants attacking Mrs. Web, filled with garbled nonesense and pictures of feminine products.
I think rubyking needs the midol more than she does.
Simon
Point well taken.
Why don't you Go Loaf and loiter somewhere else. Has nothing to do with you bucko..but it could.
Hey grapefruit who are you calling bucko?

Things are kinda winding down with my REAL job.
If ya build it...they will come, and they did!
Ten months on an affordable senior housing development.
It's spectacular.
I begin my new project November 5.
SO...this means there is down time.
Yesterday, I simulated a country music focus group.
Yeppers...I invited country music listeners to the clubhouse for lunch.
Women 27-39 YO from Huron county.
They had NEVER heard of ANY of the Super Star Contest "artists".
All 22 selections were played once.
They eliminated 12 in the first round.
The remaining 10 were played again. Six more were eliminated.
The TOP four were played again...Billy Hughes, Lawless, Logan Wells and Tony Rio.
The final play...Logan Wells and Tony Rio tied.
Ummm...Laredo "decided" NOT to enter the Super Star Contest.
Found that comment on their website.
Gotta ask yourself...ahhh WHY?
Laredo was not interested.
Yeah, right.
Who do they expect to believe that line of crapola besides Darla?
Good one, no.name.
Ummm...Laredo had a band meeting and as SOTS in a pod made the decision to concentrate on new material, the CCC show and writing originals.
As united SOTS, they have NO interest in radio airplay, or an opportunity to pitch a track to Capital Records.
Ahhhh...they were asked by WGAR to participate but are sticking to their guns.
Brother rubyking is experimenting with color and basket weaving while re-building the Curtis Brothers in an effort to maintain the ongoing dream sequence.
North of Texas thinks a NOT Duo is the perfect answer for venues that only want to spend a hundred bucks.
Shameless/John Todd remain the top vote getters in the Fox HOT LIST for best local band.

Yippy Skippy it's FRIDAY again!
Now that I am NOT working 10-12 hours a day @ my REAL job...I can appreciate the concept of Friday.
OOOH...and all that extra time to manufacture information and interpret meaningless details.
The first round of voting for the Super Star Contest ends today @ 4 PM. Half of the entries will be eliminated and I presume voting will begin again on Monday.
LOL at Ross trying to dazzle the sot fans with his use of the English language, and convince himself and others, Laredo had no interest in the wgar contest.
where is the midol man?
I guess some people decide it's best not to enter the ring when you know you're going to get your butt kicked. Refresh my memory - who won the Bull contest a while back when it was between the "L" bands?
Do you mean the clash between the big L and the little l?
The clash that Webster helped Lawless.
Yes. That clash. I wouldn't say that "Webster helped Lawless". I believe there were others that voted for Lawless. Myself included. Here's a thought: If Lawless was the band that had no interest in the WGAR contest, I'd bet that the little "l" band would have worked pretty hard to be on that list.
Honest, it did NOT take long to find this...
jdh said...
Thanks to everyone who has voted for us in the "Clashing Country" contest.
Web, thank you personally!(you know why)
Found this while looking for that...
webster said...
We can only hope WGAR has been paying attention to how much attention/traffic/email/hits a sister station has reaped by engaging the local country music artists and their fans in a meaningful and interactive fashion.
The "L" clash will continue in Cleveland...until one of ya move beyond Cleveland.
10/19
Yeah--That'll happen!
Tradesman Tavern on State tonight. Beautiful place, good food, Swamp Boogie!

So...I am home doing laundry and watching The Next Great American Band.
I pitched ya the link.
Coulda been you...instead, you took the bus to Fairview Park.

The Next Great American Band...
My personal favorite of the 2 hour audition, and a frequent Websterscountry MySpace TOP Friend made the 12 finalists.
Sixwire, a delightful mix of country and rock; from Nashville, TN.
The other eleven:
Tres Biem, a 60’s retro/vintage band that the judges loved; from Clearwater, FL.
Light of Doom, a pack of 12/13 YOs playing metal; from San Marcos, CA.
The Hatch, a mellow group who made it to the finals with a cover of Bill Withers classic “Use Me” a Pop/Rock band; from Brooklyn, NY.
The Clark Brothers, impressive with a slide guitar and electric violin in a cover of “This Little Light of Mine”, a Bluegrass/Country band from; Nashville, TN.
Dot Dot Dot, got by with a punk cover of a Burt Bacharach tune; a Modern Rock band from Chicago, IL.
The Muggs, the band closest to Cleveland, and a favorite of the judges who all love their blues style; a Classic Rock band from Detroit, MI.
Denver and the Mile High Orchestra, made it through with their Big Band/Swing Band sound; from Nashville, TN.
Cliff Wagner and the Ol’ #7, covered “Like a Virgin” with a bluegrass twist; from San Pedro, CA.
Franklin Bridge, serious R&B/soul band; from Philadelphia, PA.
Rocket, an all GIRL punk group; from East Hollywood, CA.
The Likes of You, an established band that has toured with Hall & Oats from Los Angeles, CA.
Things that crack me up @ the crack of dawn.
Folks that have the blog posts alerts...you and I both know who ya are.
Folks that claim they don't read the blog...you and I both know who ya are.
Folks that try to get around the blog stats...you and I both know who ya are.
Folks that claim no one reads the blog...you and I both know who ya are.
Folks that claim they will NEVER utter my name...you and I both know who ya are.

Jay - That was definitely a good time. Thanks for sharing the vocals on "Help Me Make It Through The Night". One of my favorite all-time songs. All the bands sounded really good. Lot's of money raised and I believe we finally made some good use of "Wipe Out" (about $250.00 to play it). This could get bigger every year guys.
Ummm...Lawless opted out of this event seven months ago.
The hardy boy claimed in March, they were booked at some brand new country venue out of state.
More recently, they have acquiesced to a "private event" in Beachwood...today their site says it's a "private event" in Cuyahoga Falls.
Gotta ask yourself...why would the top Country band in Cleveland refuse to help raise money for autistic children?
Ummm...my criticism doesn't stop with Lawless opting out.
While ya all love to claim no one reads the blog...ya all know it's NOT true. Hands down...the blog wins.
Ya all claim ya care about raising money for charity.
Yet...none of ya...NOT one of you would provide information to the blog regarding the event.
Ah-huh...ya had it covered. Suppose ya do.
Ya wanna talk about the "haters"...ya all couldn't put your own hate aside to benefit autistic children.
That really BLOWS!!!
I didn't watch The Next Great American Band, but let me get this straight... They're actually letting groups compete who, at one time, were signed to a major label?
Hmmmm... As far as I'm concerned... They've had their 15 minutes. YOU BLEW IT! NOT ELIGIBLE!
Think Whitney Houston will audition for American Idol next season?
Just my meaningless opinion.

I like the little metal heads! Their lead player is better than most guys in Cleveland.

NOT sure what I think about a band being dropped from their label.
Happens everyday...
Does it mean they don't look for another opportunity or are ineligible for another chance?
My thought is...at least they auditioned.
Awakened by BLOG alerts...LOL!
Can't help it...it just cracks me up.

Who cares if they were once signed? Don't we all wish we had at least been "once signed"?

If ya are looking for a "Webster free-zone"...it ain't here!
Irony at it's best.
For the longest time, the only thing standing between me and a verbal onslaught of irony and truth was Mr. Webster.
That just ain't the case no more.
OH...me and the Mr. are just fine. The deal breaker was the hardy boy.
The hardy boy has relished in the break up. Spouting off, digging up bones, and maligning relationships.
Ummm...so now, the hardy boy haters smell the blood in the water and are coming out of the woodwork/cyberspace to share a story or two.
Hmmm...in my view, there has been rushed judgement as to who lives in the glass house and who is lobbing stones.
Webster...its judgment, not judgement.
And I spent time with JDH on Friday and he didn't bring you up at all...not once, and he knows I read and am on here...so who's doing the slinging? You bring him up repeatedly, why not just let it go?
Since when is this a forum for people to post/promote GOOD? Most people come here for the mudslinging (and as someone mentioned earlier, the Mr's trivia). Are you implying that your readers were UNAWARE of this past Saturday's event? Are you trying to convince everyone that you and many others don't regularly check Laredo's website for something to criticize and didn't notice the postings about the event all over the website? Lastly, YOU post all the local bands schedules (with the exception of the blacklisted Laredo) EVERY WEEKEND. How could YOU not care enough about autistic children to not mention where EIGHT local bands were playing this weekend????????? You're right...some people don't realize exactly who lives in the glass house.
nobeerhere
Ya know...
I don't think ya have all the facts, nor are you aware of ALL the mud slinging that occurs.
Ah huh...if the hardy boy didn't say anything to YOU, then he must NOT be saying anything to anybody. I'll keep that in mind.
Good Lord...
EVERYONE knows I surf all the sites every single day.
I haven't listed the bands consistently for months.
Laredo was NOT black listed, they requested NOT to be part of the blog. I have the email to prove it!
I am NOT saying no one knew about the event.
I said what I needed to say about it...end of story.
check mate
Yup...guess you aren't the only know it all out there.
I just see your mud...and you know as well as everyone how much fund raising Lawless does. Where do you get off dogging them for stepping aside from one opportunity. Have you checked their website lately? Obviously not...bitter pill to swallow, huh?
all im gonna say is watch who you make comments too if ya dont have the kahunas to say somethin to someones face dont say nothin at all. Especially when ya dont know what your talking about.. NObeer she's referrin to me and the glass house comment. LOL! BUt Im not gonna come on here and get into no typing fight.. Gawd! Its so not worth it.. my life has more meaning than the internet!!
Further more not EVERYTHING is about this website lol
I guess I'm not quite done yet...mrs. webster - you criticized Lawless for electing to not participate, but you, too, elected to not participate. Were you there? Did you publicly buy and then donate tickets like you did last year? No. In fact, you didn't mention the event until the next day, when you started spouting criticism (with the exception of a couple fleeting thoughts months ago about who was and wasn't participating - and by the way, Foot DID participate and was a big part of the event's success, in my opinion). If you want to criticize Lawless for bowing out of the event, then take a look in the mirror. At least they aren't criticizing it!
clarification: I just noticed that it was the day of the event, not the day after the event that you spouted your criticism. Minutia, but I wanted to correct myself before my point got twisted into my 10/20-10/21 mixup.
I know what I know...
My point regarding Lawless and the CCC event is based on actual conversation.
Lawless purposefully and with malice opted out of the event seven months ago. Period!
I did NOT purchase tickets and donate them like I did last year.
Instead, in addition to a direct donation, my husband's autistic students were treated to the Zoo.
justen...ya really don't have that much rope. Be careful, before you accidentally hang yourself.
10/22
I'm just confused.
1963--Buck Owens recorded the No. 1 single "Act Naturally"
Kid Rock and five members of his entourage are free on $1,000 bond each after being charged with simple battery following a Sunday morning (Oct. 21) fight at a Waffle House restaurant in Atlanta. LOW RENT!!!
Annette is 65 today.
Shelby Lynne is 39.
Carlos Mencia is 40.
Mr. Web...Waffle House has the best sweet tea in the whole wide world.
and
Who cares why Lawless bowed out...whether it was to wash their hair or cuz they didn't want to do it, period, why even bring it up? Just more mudslinging on your part Web...or rock throwing...whatever you want to call it. YOU brought it up.
Which takes me back to my previous post...nothing going on here so who is stirrin' the pot?
According to you...you say your stats say everyone is still readin, bloggin, alertin, etc. Why then dog John here? Who would have known about your "divorce" except for those close to the situation...why make it a public forum? Maybe cuz you are more hurt by all of this than you are willing to admit?
I don't know...I just read this crazy thing because it is mildly entertaining and because it is 1:51 a.m. and I just got off work. Or maybe it is out of habit...kinda like smoking...you know you shouldn't do it but sometimes you just can't help it.
By the way, I still can't work those HTML tags....

I am suffering from scorned woman syndrome. It's NOT fatal.
The symptoms of the syndrome are intermittent and sometimes caustic.
The crushed pathology has subsided, however the vindictive phase could last forever.
"Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned,
Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned."
justenoughrope
You need more rope, and to expand your train of thought.
Weren't you here last year whining that Webster did not do enough for the event.
webster - your point regarding Lawless was about the CCC event, as was my point regarding YOUR absence from the event. It had nothing to do with private donations or outside events. I never said you didn't support the cause, I said you didn't support the CCC event. One might even speculate that you, too, purposefully and with malice opted out of the event - much longer than seven months ago! Also, thanks for your concern, but I'm not worried about MY rope.
What's your point, simon? Haven't you noticed that you & the mr. are the only ones siding with webster these days? Except for tagalong molly, who apparently hasn't figured out which bandwagon to jump on next.
justen
Excuse me...I don't understand your point.
I think EVERYONE but you understands my point.
More readers...less posters, been the trend for a year.
Ummm...why bother taking a swipe at Molly. Seems kinda simpleton!
Also...my husband does NOT always agree with me.
I thought it seemed kinda funny
10/23
Geez! She says I always disagree with her. However, we both stand firmly to the left on "Vietnam:Part Deux."
Dwight Yoakam is 51 today.
Weird Al is 48.
justen, please let me know where it is written that I, or anyone for that matter, must "take sides"? I'm not inclined to jump on anyone's bandwagon. Not 100% sure why you think that I would but you're opinion is certainly inconsequential to me. It's obvious you don't personally know me because I'm hardly a "tagalong". But think what you will - the opinions of your type of people mean nothing to me.
October 24, 007
Ya know how I am...gotta evaluate everything, and take NOTHING at face value.
I am sensing that justenoughrope is an assumed screen name...NOT the original.
Suppose it doesn't matter...
I am LOL at the very suggestion that we should have attended the CCC event. Ya ALL didn't want us there...PERIOD! To voice otherwise is ludacris.
Actions speak louder than words, molly. That's a lot of defending for something "inconsequential" to you.
justen: you seem confused. I wasn't defending myself in any way. I was stating the facts as they are. You are the lowlife who has decided to bring me into this when I had no comment prior to this. It way too obvious that you a SOTS "tagalong" (or band member) just trying to create friction.
Obviously, I forgot a word in my last post. Figure it out.
Like I said, actions speak louder than words, molly. More defending for something "inconsequential"
Molly ? Tag-a-long?
Isn't that Girl Scout Cookie?
I usually don't post much. Open mouth, insert foot and all that, but when one of my friends are attacked I get upset. Justen, you don't know Molly I do. Go play in someone elses sandbox.
What "actions"? I'm sure you have nothing substantial. Your imagination is working overtime. You just like to ramble on about things you don't know anything about and throw around accusations that have no basis.
uh-oh. I've upset tobykeithfan. And molly has more to say about "inconsequential" matters.
Thanks TKFan. I prefer the mint cookies myself!
Apparently, the SOTS camp puts on one charity show a year and they are supposed to be honored? That's pretty funny. It's just a platform to showcase themselves under the guise of raising funds for a worthy cause. I'm sure they all enjoyed the pat on the back. Bet Darla did the most gushing! The event is over and I'm pretty sure they won't do an ounce of charitable work until next October. It's time to move on. Whether or not a band or a fan participated in the showcase was a personal choice and one they had a right to.
justen is justen ass.
OH I Love those mint cookies. Yummy.
I'm not upset anymore. Since Justen is Justen Ass he's not worth it.
Think I'll change my screen name to CraigMorganFan. Love Him. Apparently WGAR does not. They never play any of his songs. Oh yeah they play one.
Ok I'm too lazy to go get another Google account.
I agree that they don't play enough Craig Morgan. And why must they shove Chesney down our throats every 15 minutes? Seems that frequent to me anyway. He's soooo over played and overrated.
Must be reporting back to camp.
They play the same crap over and over again. I want to hear all the new stuff. Tired of Mantel. Tired of Laurie's snorting. Only reason I listen on the way to work is for the traffic report.
Maybe he'll be back after lunch
I know. And they actually think it's hysterical when she's snorting! I listen here in my office only because WQMX doesn't come in clear...too much static.
Me too. Love WQMX but it's in and out here too. Captain Tony sucks and Michael J. Fox ignores my e-mails. They overplayed that ONE song from Heartland so much I had to turn my radio off when it came on. I liked it at first.....hate it now.
Eddie Munster (oops, I mean Tony) seems personable enough on the air. Not too crazy about Fox though. If I'm in the car and Chesney comes on, I switch stations.
Well, Molly,
I guess we scared Justen away. Or someone gave him that rope.
For simplicity, we'll assume it's a HE. He must still be in a meeting with the SOTS camp counselors. I'm sure we didn't scare him away. They still usually manage to crawl out from under the rock..... He's still trying to come up with something original to post. Hopefully, if he wants to rag on me some more, he'll come up with a FACT or two rather than just spouting off on what he perceives to be accurate. Those voices in his head are giving him bad information.
justenoughrope is justajerk and is
"inconsequential".
Re:CCC event
As Production Manager for the event, let me say that 8 bands donated their time and talents for a worthy cause. Many other people donated time and prizes to an organization that was TRULY appreciative of the efforts of the many people who made it all happen.
It's all about helpin out your fellow man in the end who may not be quite as blessed in life as others.
Whether it's once a year, or ten times a year. A splendid time was had by all, bands, fans, dancers and my crew. From all that was done, many kids and their families will benefit from that.
So, if you were there, hope you had fun like the rest of us did. It's quite a task putting on something that big, so to criticize how often in one year one does a specific event, one does NOT know that many of these bands do many other benefits for other causes throughout the year.
We'll do it again next year, you can climb on board and make it bigger and better or you can complain and bitch and knock people for doing things for a good cause. It's your right as it is mine. Try climbing on board and making the world we live in just a little bit better for someone else next year.
Proud to be a part of it..

A+ for Molly. She supported local HLand when it was truly unfashionable. That is a real fan.
Alison Krauss, Jason Aldean and Kellie Pickler have been added to the list of performers at the 41st annual CMA Awards show on Nov. 7. Aldean and Pickler are each nominated for this year's Horizon Award.Not bad for an Idol loser.

mr webster
not so much
molly
I guess I imagined that you initially came on here as the defender of Heartland, then stopped when you realized that view was "unpopular" among the crowd. In the early stages of the blog, the blog community hated Lawless and loved Laredo. John and Steve were the scum of the earth and Todd and Ross were wonderful people and excellent musicians. Then the tide turned. Webster and Hardy made up and Webster and Ross began feuding. And then suddenly, Lawless was awesome, Hardy was your new best friend/birthday buddy, Laredo sucked, and Todd, Ross, and the "SOTS" were the new scum of the earth (I guess you forgot you used to be a "SOT" back before it was a bad thing). And now here we are in a quandry. Webster and Lawless/Hardy have had another falling out. Webster and rubyking have had a falling out. Webster and Laredo are still on the outs. Most recent posts are in criticism of webster. And you've only piped in when the topic was neutral - like the WGAR Super Star contest. From that, I've concluded that you've not yet figured out which bandwagon to jump on next. Oops. Silly me. You jumped on the justen bandwagon! Well, whatever I can do to help, I guess.
October 25, 007
justen
Honey...if ya want to two-step down memory lane, that's fine. Let's work together to get the facts straight.
First
Mr. Webster was NOT a SOT, he guested with Laredo, and when a full time position was offered in Dec 05...he declined.
YES folks...it was Dec 05.
Second
The initial fall out between myself and Laredo occurred in April 06 and was over Frank.
The way they treated him, fired him, laughed at him, then mocked him...right up until his death.
Then in May 06, Ross made a GAY slur on the blog. He had the kahunas to pretend that he didn't know I was offended. Ross proceeded to send a flurry of emails with outlandish and contradictory statements.
The final straw was a profanity laden email sent by Todd in August 06...clearly expressing he wanted NOTHING to do with me or the blog. EVER!
The Lawless/JDg saga is complex...and will require more thought.
However...
Let me say this; my fondness and affection for JDg was apparent to ANYONE paying attention.
For the record...
In my last conversation with JDg, he said he understood.
JDg acknowledged "we supported him in his pursuit of his dream...more than anyone".
We exchanged "I love yous"...then JDg took a flying leap off the reality cliff, and the avalanche is still being dealt with.
The difference this go-around; Mr. Webster.
Wow! First, you go running to the camp counselor and come back with a "road boss". First, let's all remember this IS Cleveland and not Nashville. Also, never once did I dispute or question all the hard work that goes into a production. Great job; there is YOUR pat on the back. My comments were only about the reason one band "started" the event: to put themselves on a pedestal and for their own gain and recognition.
Secondly, I have NEVER been a "SOT". I had the misfortune of stepping into a bar on occasion when I didn't pay attention to who was playing. That won't happen again.
Thirdly, I have NO idea what went down between Web & John. AND I don't care because it's none of my business. THAT right there is why I never commented on their "feud" or whatever it is. I like and respect both of them. I tell my daughter all the time not to get involved in sh*t that doesn't concern her but justen felt the need to mock me and bring me into something that is none of my business.
Justen, please refer back to a LOT of the initial posts. I never stopped "defending" HL because it was unpopular on this blog. Quite the contrary actually.
I would hardly say Hardy is my new BFF! Comical. I went to see Lawless a few times over the summer and suddenly tongues start wagging. Small minds think like that. Apparently, everyone's lives are SO boring that who I go out to see is newsworthy. As for my birthday, had a great time! Going to do it again soon for another close friend's birthday. OMG! We're goin' to see Lawless! Stop the presses!
NOW, if Lawless is thinking I'm "just a tagalong" and not an actual fan, they can just say the word. Do it in the next week guys so I can change my plans.
Web & Jay are on the outs. So what? Doesn't concern me, I don't know Jay and shocker, I don't know the reasons for that "feud". So why would I comment?
And finally, you WISH I was on your bandwagon, a**hole.
Molly,
It seems Justen must be stalking you. Aren't you flattered he has followed your every move for a while now?
That's exactly what it seems to be TKFan! I mentioned those little voices in his head so perhaps he really IS whacked & psychotic.

molly, you told me to come back with facts, and I did. webster has the archives to prove it. I distinctly remember you warning a fellow Heartland defender once upon a time to not go there, you "learned your lesson". It stuck with me because I know who you are (and yes, I know it's no big secret, so don't bother with all that nonsense). I don't have the time or desire to go looking for it. I'm sure mrs webster could find it quite easily if she really wanted to.
mrs webster, I didn't say mr webster was a SOT, I said molly was. From what I understand, anyone who posts anything that is kind or complimentary (or in defense of) Laredo is labeled a SOT. Actually, there was a time that anyone who had anything negative to say about your posts was labeled a SOT, too - it seems like that "camp" has expanded, hasn't it? Again, if I had the time or desire, I'm sure I could find archived posts to that effect.
I see your attempts to redirect the focus here. This is not about Frank, and to bring him up is pretty disrespectful, if you ask me. As far as that whole situation is concerned, I know what I was told, you know what you were told, and only Frank and Laredo will ever know the truth, regardless of who thinks they were told (or figured out) the truth, so drop it already.
mrs webster, a couple days ago, you accused me of not understanding your point. I got it, loud and clear. You simply wanted to throw some accusations and criticisms at Lawless and anyone associated with the CCC event. You did NOT want anyone to point out that you were guilty of the same behaviors you were admonishing others for. It's been fun to watch you and molly sidestep and change the subject when you've been backed into a corner.
Funny how the internet policy psa's always come out when someone has you on the ropes.
Justen....
Where did it say that anyone missed you? I don't think you have your facts straight...and that goes for several topics. The only time your name was really mentioned was when you were called a stalker...ROFLMAO.
justajerk
How would anyone know who you were posting to, when it is addressed to three people?
Must have hit a nerve of yours to bring up Frank.
I guess you had a little trouble comprehending my post, Justen. Regarding HL, you stated the words "stopped when you realized that view was 'unpopular' among the crowd". I didn't (and still don't) care how unpopular it was. Please don't make it sound like I stopped defending HL so that maybe, just maybe, people would like me on this blog?? Puhleeze...... Maybe YOU and the little "l" band play those silly teenage (girl) games; I don't.
I'm hardly "side stepping", honey. I didn't change any subjects either. Actually, I tried to comment on as many of your pathetic innuendos as time would allow. Now the voices in your head are making you "see" things if you think I'm backed into any corner. I know I'm not so bring it on. BTW, what did I have for dinner last night? Since my every move is so fascinating to you, please, do tell.
no.name.please
Yes, it did. Personally, I liked Frank. I can't figure out why you all insist that I'm in the band. Are all of you in the bands that you post about? It really bothers me that mrs webster keeps using Frank in her hate campaign against Laredo. Like I said, I think it's disrespectful. Let the guy rest in peace.
lol Is it just me or is Keith Urban SMOKIN HOT in that pic on the front page? LMAO
Nakked, it is NOT just you! :-) That right there is one fine man.
"justajerkette"
No, I don't think you are in a band. I think you are of the female persuasion.
Laredo was incredibly rude and disrespectful to Frank when he was alive, to be respectful after he has died is hypocrisy.
definitely not Darla

Frank was a hell of a picker. He made filling in with them enjoyable.

Molly,
Do you think Justen really knows what you ate last night? Maybe He or She is the same person that was counting those meatballs consumed at Aces that infamous night?
drunk typing...here we go...reminds me of someone who no longer posts here and that I miss...but anyway..
I think I forgot what my point was...I hate it when that happens.
OH yeah...nekkid...Keith Urban is ohhh sooo hot! Saw him a few years ago at jamboree and I don't care if he is a drug addict...i would still do him (I love Mr. nobeer, but come on, we all have our fantasies)
Justen...you are the expert on all of of the past posts...think most of us gals (including molly) talked about an all girl country band a while back...grasping for straws dude or dudette, truly you are.
always wanted to play the fiddle...anyone else?

Top of the mornin' to ya.
SO...what did ja do last night?
We stayed home...
Mr. Webster uncorked a bottle of Mondovi Merlot, lit the fireplace, and we curled up in the lazy boys to watch The Next Great American Band.
Hate Hatch.
Mr. Webster favors the 6th grade metal band...Light of Doom.
I predict Sixwire is The Next Great American Band...could be wrong. It happens. LOL!
The bands performed two songs each, first a Bob Dylan cover song, then an original.
Denver and the Mile High Orchestra
“Freight Train Blues”
“One Time Show”.
These guys are GREAT...if ya like the big band thing. NOT The Next Great American Band.
The Hatch
“It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue”
“Stretch Out the Time”
Hate it!
Light of Doom
“All Along the Watchtower”
“Eye of the Storm”
NOT a metal fan, and agree, these tween boys need to wear shirts.
The Likes of You
“Blowin’ in the Wind”
“Love and Gravity”.
Too much falsetto. PERIOD!
Rocket
“Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door”
“Mean to You”
All girl punk band...sorta liked “Mean to You”. LOL!
Cliff Wagner and the Ol’ #7
“Don’t Think Twice,it’s All Right”
“Old Fire”
Very rockabilly cool.
Personally, I am NOT gonna get too attached to these guys.
They are awesome...but will win the hearts and minds about as well as we have won the hearts and minds in Iraq.
The Muggs
“Meet Me in the Morning” and some original that sounded just like “Meet Me in the Morning”.
Their audition was better.
The lead singer is hideous.
They could be headed back to the Motor City very very soon.
The Clark Brothers
“Maggie’s Farm”
“Billy the Kid”.
Cutie pie Christians.
Tres Bien!
“Subterranean Homesick Blues”
“Easy to Love Me”
Vintage rock...and we love them!
Franklin Bridge
“Tangled Up in Blue”
“Incredible”.
These guys are ALL THAT and could take the whole enchilada from Sixwire.
Dot Dot Dot
“Like a Rolling Stone”
“Another Stupid Love Song”
I don’t know...what you think?
Sixwire
“Mr. Tambourine Man”
“Good to Be Back”
My favorite.
Radio ready...hope they do “From the Ashes” soon. Check out the tune on my MySpace.
Last night we went on a (slightly) haunted hayride with a large group from the non-profit I belong to. The kids had a great time. Well, I did too. Fun to catch up with everyone. Have to wonder though if Justen was lurking around watching my every move. Tonight, as Mr. Webster would say, I'm better off with the blues!
10/27
Yes,Molly,we all are.
I love the little kid metal band. Iron Maiden lives!
The Christians are Disney ready.

REALITY Check...
This is Cleveland Ohio.
Cleveland is POOR. No longer the MOST poverty stricken and unemployed...but still poor.
The clubs are struggling with increased costs and loss of patronage.
NO club cares that you have added expenses to your own bottom line.
NO one cares you have added a steel guitar and a sound guy.
I am CONFIDENT the story by now is that it was your idea to drop The Savannah from your TOUR.
Hmmm...I know different!
Ummm...does anyone, besides me, think that Miss Al's extended personal business away have to do with a 3X4 cell?
Breaking Lawless News
Following the storming of Wolstein Center, Lawless will embark on their ACE's tour.
So...for like months, Lawless attempted to convince folks they had an arena gig.
More recently, they acquiesced to the truth. They were the entertainment for the Baron's Ball.
So...for like months, Lawless refused the ACE's gigs.
The hardy boy SAID they were beyond Ace's...it was beneath them.
I swear, he said this!
Look for Lawless to schlep between the ACE's at least four times in November.
Sless and Jdg
If ya think this is annoying...just wait, I have MORE!

STAND CLEAR. WOMEN AND BASS PLAYERS FIRST. THE STORM IS ABOUT TO ERUPT!

Sorta busy annoying the RNC, John McCain, Congress and Clear Channel.

Please there shall be NO BASHING Of JDG today. Show some respect!
Show some respect for what?
Who made nakedmonkey the blog queen?
Simon.. listen dude.. he's suffered a loss and thats all you need to know.. No one made me the queen nor would I want to be! Im just saying for ONE day.. leave it alone K? GOOD!
nakedmonkey
I don't know that he has earned my respect. You either, for that matter.
lol NO SKIN OFF MY BACK.. you dont even know me but whatever..
Bet JDH could use a friend right now. A real friend. Someone that loved him like his mother does.
Instead, he twisted that into something ugly over a song, and nakedmonkey was right there to jump on the JDH bandwagon.
Good for her. Maybe she can take Mrs. Webster's place.
