God Bless Fort Benning




GOD BLESS FORT BENNING is coming this Saturday from 12-6 with a hockey game to follow Cottonmouths vs. Pee Dee Cyclones.We gave out 1500 tickets to soldiers and their families.It should be a great game. Please come out and show your support for our troops ad their families. You have never seen a group more appreciative of community support than the military and their loved ones. These guys fight for your freedom everyday whether it is by picking up a weapon, training to do so or one of the various other jobs they do so well and with complete dedication. They are what makes America and our community so great. If you think you don't have time think twice and ask yourself "Where would we be without them?" Scary thought. Also the Bama/Auburn game is not an excuse we will be playing it on a screen that anybody would envy so you won't be missing a thing. Please come out and show your support

Long Haul Tour

ATLANTA BLOG:
The Long Haul Tour featuring Brooks and Dunn, Sugarland and Jack Ingram was not to be missed.
It may have been a little chilly for an outdoor concert but Jack Ingram warmed you right up with his unique show. What a great guy. You will not find many people more appreciative of his fans. When he finished his awesome hour on stage he invited anyone who wanted to meet him to come to the left of the stage and "I will sign whatever you want me to". I haven't seen a bunch of women move that fast since they announced 50% off all Women's Apparel at Dillard's. His record rep said he may be releasing a remake of "Lips of an Angel" as his next single. He performed it at the concert and it was excellent. Check him out on his My Space: www.myspace.com/jackingram
Sugarland-WOW!!! Jennifer Nettles is not only gorgeous but has one of the most powerful voices in country music. She, Christian and the whole crew are true talent. Every song they perform is full of life and meaning to them and to their fans. For those of you who don't know they started off as an Atlanta Bar Band. What a long way they have come and they will only be going up from here. You have to get their new album Enjoy the Ride-and that is exactly what they are doing.
Brooks and Dunn-Well what can you say they are Brooks and Dunn-the Rolling Stones of the Country Music world. When they performed Neon Moon they had a huge background with a full moon which set as the song ended-very cool. I am really hoping that the fan who got his Cell Phone confiscated by Kix Brooks got it back. The man was calling his daughter Meredith when Kix was talking and Kix took his cell and asked who it was the gentleman told him his daughter Meredith. Kix picked up the phone and said "Meredith" paused "No it's not Dad. It's Kix Brooks. Dad is sitting with some lady in a dog collar and drinking a 40 ounce beer. Does he do things like that often?"
After a little more conversation he said "I don't care what kind of minutes Dad has but Meredith you get to listen to the whole show now-Enjoy." He sat Meredith in a place of honor on stage and continued on with the show. So if you get the chance to get front row at a Brooks and Dunn concert by all means go and enjoy it but you may want to leave the cell phone out of Kix line of sight.
Ronnie Dunn is a true performer and leaves no doubt about why they are so huge and have won so many awards in their career.
Pictures will be on the site soon

CMT Tour



Trace Adkins CMT Tour
If you missed the CMT tour show you missed a great one.
It was the most fun you can have in the Valley on a Thursday without getting arrested
Everything got kicked off around 4:30 when listeners started lining up to win backstage passes.
They went bobbing for them in a hot tub generously provided by Leisure Lifestyles

Nobody walked away a loser from this one.
We gave away tons of Cd's and other prizes.
It took guts to dip in since it was really cold and windy outside.
The show itself was really awesome.
Jason Aldean really got the crowd fired up with some of his hits and even put a little rock in the mix. It is really cool to see a Georgia boy doing so well.
Billy Currington (another Georgia Boy) puts on what one fan called the "Sexiest Show on Earth". He also went into some rock with a raunchy rendition of AC/DCs "You Shook Me All Night Long". Just goes to prove what a crossover country music is. You know it for sure when you hear people playing rap in the parking lot.
Trace Adkins , all 6'6" of him, has that distinctive voice that puts his stamp on every song he does. There was hardly a dry eye in the place when he dedicated "Arlington" to our troops. He even encouraged everyone to make sure that they got out and voted and added not to listen to him or any "celebrity" about who to vote for. He is a very genuine guy who loves what he does and cares about his fans.
If you get the chance to see any of these men in concert do yourself a favor-GO.
You will have a great time and really enjoy yourself.
