A NICE GUY YOU WOULD WANT TO MEET

What an incredible artist and songwriter we have in Brad Paisley. From emotional tunes like “He didn’t have to be” and Whiskey Lullaby” to fun stuff like “Mud on the tires” and “On-line,” Paisley always manages to hit a home run. In fact Paisley has extended his record-setting run of No. 1 singles to nine consecutive, non-seasonal chart toppers. A feat unmatched by any other country artist in the 19-year history of Nielsen BDS monitored airplay as Start A Band hits No. 1 this week. This is Paisleys 13 No. 1 of his career. Start A Band, a duet with Keith Urban, is from Paisleys latest release, Play.

Brad is one of those artists you should meet if you get a chance. He is truly a nice guy and cares for his fans. Unfortunately, that’s not something you can say about everyone in the music industry. But that’s the topic of another blog. If you care to catch Brad on the Paisley Party Tour, your chance is coming up February 27th in the Rose Garden Arena in Portland. Joining Paisley is Dierks Bentley and newcomer Crystal Shawanda. Ticket info is available under concert information on our web site. Here’s the cool part. Here at the old radio ranch, we’re giving away tickets. I do enjoy the gift of giving, especially with the boss’s credit card in my hand. In fact it makes me happier than a dung beetle in the Senate. So, I guess what I’m trying to say is keep your ear to the radio for your chance at free tickets. You could be the next winner from Best Country 103.

Peace out!

PLACES YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO BE

No matter how bad your day is going, this guy's day was much worse. And you know the cold weather didn't help his cause.



Skier gets caught with his pants down

An unlucky skier has been snapped in the most unflattering of positions, after losing his pants on a ski lift on New Year's Day.The man was left hanging around - naked from the waist down (or waist up, given the position he was in) - after he fell through the chairlift seat at Blue Sky Basin at Vail Ski Resort.The Smoking Gun carries more images of the incident, and reports the man's right ski jammed in the chairlift, forcing him to become suspended over the snow.The man's trousers somehow got caught as well.The 48-year-old was reportedly stuck in the compromising for about 15 minutes, as fellow skiers took photos.Vail Resorts issued a statement regarding the incident, part of which was carried on The Smoking Gun, claiming the man was not injured.The statement did not explain how the accident occurred.

Have a great day!!!

Peace out!

Look Mom I'm blogging

The hammer fell and the smoke cleared. There was no way around it. "In 2009 you will blog." The boss's words rang in my ears. "But, I don't have anything to say." I know that may sound silly coming from a broadcaster who manages to fill four hours a day on the air with what is at times sheer silliness. I wonder to myself, why would anybody want to read my blog? Don't they get tired of me after four hours? Is there anything left? Why am I talking to myself?

So here it is, my first blog. I feel like I should use this technology to help man kind. Cure a disease or find world peace. Those goals do seem a tad lofty for a first blog. Maybe I'll wait til next month to take on mountains that size. Frankly if I can get through this first one without freezing up the computer, it's a win.

It's not Shakespeare but Shakespeare never did a morning show. Cool I finally have one up on ole' Billy. I guess I found my target.

Peace out.
