So I am not a reality singing show fan.  Blake deserves some respect for his lengthy run.  Helping out young talent and being the winning coach so many times.  Maybe time to start coming up with replacements.   Neal McCoy was given a push by Blake himself.  I don't know Reba is on the show this season, Dierks has helped, Kane Brown has been on it...   Kelsea Ballerini sat in for Kelly before.  A lot of good characters could fill-in and well they do not have to be country like Blake.   

I do appreciate Blake's sense of humor and his quick wit.  Like this clip... talk about a mic drop, name drop and all of it.   (check out the 3:45 to 3:55 mark)

Well it's never to early to Clean Up Akron...  This is our home and it should be taken care of all the time.  

April is a very special month though.  It is Keep Akron Beautiful's Annual "Clean Up Akron Month".  Kudos to the organization and even though we should make sure our city sparkles all the time.  April is the call out to all volunteers to remove litter that's added up due to winter and all the heavy wind storm's of late in the area.   

If you would like to volunteer or maybe a group of friends, co-workers or just a meet up to get to know some neighbors, students on campus, or your local park.  This is a great way to enjoy the outdoors and some folks that want to make sure it looks as beautiful as Akron is... and can be!!!   

Here is the information if you would like to volunteer or just find out some deals...  Click Here!

Every weekday at 3:20ish, we take a deep dive back in time.  Country-wise at least.   
The criteria is basic, within reason.  Late 80's, 90's all the way to about 5 years ago...

Some are familiar, some deeper cuts, debuts, hits, one-hit-wonders...   I give you a little breakdown of the song as well.

If you have one or more let me know by texting the Cricket Wireless Studioline 330-370-2000 or email me at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..   

Jennifer in Talmadge reached out for this one today and said "I love listening to the Throwback Song of The Day!  This one his voice is just perfect and once it starts I can't stop singing.  Could you make this girls day and play James Otto's - Just Got Started Lovin' You?  Thank you and keep up the great work.. " 

This was his only #1 and also the Year End #1 Country Song of 2008...  take a listen might spark a Throwback that you want to hear.  Thank you for listening always!

The show is coming up 3/30!

The country world is feeling the effects of the Pandemic.  Some of these artists were at home for the longest stints of their careers.  

Sure we are in the midst of getting some great albums...  Morgan Wallen just dropped 'One Thing At A Time', Luke Combs has 'Gettin Old' this Friday,

Throw in Hardy, Brantley Gilbert, Jelly Roll, Jason Aldean, Kenny Chesney, Gabby Barrett, Bros. Osbourne Carly Pearce and just about every artist out there has something on the way.  Musically and touring things are great for country fans and artists!

While some artists were home they probably had sometime for more things than just music.  Maybe to focus on additional branches to those family trees...  It is like a Country Baby Boom!

Today John Osbourne's Wife gave birth to twins, congrats to the family!  Scotty McCreery's wife Gabi, Gabby Barrett, Elle King, Jon Pardi's Wife Summer just had Presley, Runaway June’s Jennifer Wayne, Maddie & Tae’s Taylor Dye, Sam Hunt's Wife Hannah Lee Fowler, Niko Moon's Wife Anna Moon, Chris Lane's wife Lauren, and Randy Houser's wife Tatiana all had children recently....

Luke Combs announced he and Nicole will have their 2nd boy in September.  Shay Mooney, Jordan Davis, Drake White wives are all expecting also... 

Could we be seeing the next era of country singers?  We'll see...

A few weeks ago, we did a Mt. Rushmore of Country Music...

By now you know you know, I'm a wrestling fan...

The Undertaker is one of the greats.  So when he talks about his Mt. Rushmore of Wrestlers, you take notice.

In the past, Taker had Shawn Michaels in place of Hulk Hogan but let the debate continue.  

 With Wrestlemania on horizon...

I think My Mt. Rushmore of Wrestling would be:

-Macho Man Randy Savage

-Ric Flair

-Mick Foley (with small little heads to make one Cactus Jack, Mankind, Dude Love)

-and Stone Cold Steve Austin or The Sandman.

Honorable Mentions: The Rock, Cena, Ultimate Warrior, Undertaker and Shawn Michaels.

Women's Mt. Rushmore:

-Miss Elizabeth

-Fabulous Moolah

-Sasha Banks

-Chyna

Honorable Mentions: AJ, Charolette Flair, Rhea Rhipley, Lita, Becky Lynch and Trish Stratus.

Women of Country have been trailblazers. 

Tomorrow (3/8) being International Women's Day and it is Women's History Month.  WQMX has taken a shine to "The Women of Country"!   

You can weigh-in on your favorites and have them featured on Scott and Sarah in The Morning and on WQMX Socials by Clicking Here.

WQMX has a number of 'Women of Country' also.   Sarah Kay, Cherise and Rachel Evans are all trailblazers on-air and deserve a ton of credit for WQMX being what it is...  Our WQMX Family doesn't stop there: Justina heads our Promotions and WQMX Digital.  Our great sales women (Donna, Nancy to the women throughout this building behind the scene Teri, Susan and more.) who keep us onair.  It is a pleasure and honor to work with "The Women of WQMX" at Rubber City Radio who work hard everyday, who make us what we are, and all the WQMX Women who listen, show support YOU ARE INCREDIBLE TOO.  You do not go unnoticed, Thank You for supporting and being a part of 94.9 WQMX.  

I would like to look at some of my favorite "Women of Country"...  

You have to look back this Women's History Month:

So many choices these are just some of my favorites... there are many, many, more that could be posted and listed:

Patsy Cline, Barbara Mandrell, Trisha Yearwood, Shania, Sara Evans, Deana Carter, Jennifer Nettles, Ashley McBryde, Carly Pearce, Gabby Barrett, Priscilla Block and sooo many more today and in the past.   

The Women of Country are bringing it, not holding back today, and it is refreshing to see. 

So I have always loved 'The Turtles".   Seth Rogen is going to put his spin on this new edition.   He is definitely bringing help with the voices.  Jackie Chan, John Cena, Rose Byrne, Maya Ruldoph, Post Malone and Paul Rudd just to name a few...

The movie is out August 4th of this year.  The Teaser Trailer just dropped... it's animated and called Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem here it is.
