Queen of Country, Rock & Roll Hall of Famer and National Treasure...  Dolly Parton has done it again!  

Her 'Imagination Library' is expanding to California.  Children getting a head start on reading is always a great thing.  There is no one like Dolly!

Starting in June 2023, every California child under the age of 5 will be able to receive a free book in the mail, every month, thanks to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library expansion to California! ?

Wednesday Night was WWE Holiday Tour at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse.  A great show, a power packed card with a cage match, a women's championship match and well my favorite was The Miz.  The Miz works the home crowd so well.  He reeled us in and just backhanded every Northeast Ohioian.   The Parma kid who went to Normandy High School and on the Real World...  had us fans drop our guard with his pleasantries saying the crowd electrified him when he came out.   The City of Cleveland was the mecca, a "it" spot to be... The Cavs will be in the Playoffs.  The Guardians will be in the Playoffs again.  And The Browns...   well...  THEY WILL BE IN THE PLAYOFFS NEXT YEAR!!!!'   Crowd roared... 

Then that backhanded thing.... he changed gears pretty quickly as he called everyone fat, lazy and how he is god's gift to fitness and looks. He claims LA as his home not Cleveland.  Which in his regular everyday life you know he is Cleveland and Ohio 100%.  Needless to say the crowd was pretty upset after that...   The Miz can play a crowd like no other, it was a great promo and a great show.  Hopefully you got to check out the show or won your tickets from WQMX.

Hopefully you and yours had a Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday... AND STAYED WARM.

This may turn up the heat as we still have one more big party to welcome in 2023. 

We had 'Christmas In The Country Fest' the past few weeks.  Win Tickets to the party of the Summer, in the Winter!

Here is one of The Country Fest Performers Jon Pardi who hosted Campfire Sessions on CMT for the Holiday.

He is playing one of my favorite Christmas Songs.   I'm just gonna say it Country Fest is gonna be a Pardi!  

 On the Christmas Episode Tracy Lawrence, Lilly Rose and many others made an appearance.

Looking for something to do with everyone back in town for the holiday!   Here are a few ideas:

Or

As you may know... 

Every week I do a 'Feel Good Friday' something you may want to call in to the Cricket Wireless Studioline 330-370-2000.  It is brought to you by Holiday Valley.   You can feel free to call those humble brags, community events, birthdays, anniversaries or just something that will put a smile on our faces leading into the weekend.  Last week, Joey had a special engagement planned.   Jen had a group dinner with all her girlfriends from high school.  Jackie had a birthday.  What great 'Feel Good Friday's' will we hear this week?   Call'em in if you have one...

Here is a pretty special one that put a smile on my face for the area.  Some of our biggest and most respected athletes supporting the Boys & Girls Club of Northeast Ohio.  You may remember Kane Brown has been a big supporter of this great organization, he donated a gym back in March.   Sure, it's not a Kane Brown song in the promo but the support for this organization from all of it's supporters speaks volumes...  And our local Cleveland Mega Superstar Athletes supporting is huge as well.  

 If you would like to donate.  Click Here.

It's prime cuffing season.  Where singles look for a companion to make it thru the holidays with:  Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, Valentine's Day and then it is break-up season, or uncuffing season.   

If you are looking for a last minute gift for a single person in your life.  I have the answer.  If they are looking for tall, dark and handsome... maybe the 5'7' and a slender 7 lbs, sounds perfect.  It is the Puffy Bear!  

He won't complain, he won't make a mess, he will make you all warm and toasty with out a peep being made... Maybe you could hibernate with this big lug...

He won't run you up a tree (because he is a bear!!!), he will run you $160...  small price to pay to see the look on the singles face you are giving it to as a gift...  Forget the body pillow.  It's the Puffy Bear Pillow Guy!  Click Here to check it out.   

The first installment was a hit. 

Here are my next 10 Christmas Songs of the Season...  again no certain order.  (and you can add anything from Brett Eldredge)

TSO - Christmas Cannon

Thomas Rhett - Christmas In The Country

Elmo & Patsy - Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer

Lonestar - Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town

Chipmunks - The Chimpmunk Song 

Kacey Musgraves - I Want a Hippopotamus

Gene Autry - Up On The House Top

 Joe Diffie - Leroy The Redneck

 Vince Guaraldi Trio - Christmas Time Is Here

 Alan Jackson - Let It Be Christmas

This would be a nice "Thank you for being a friend..."

Lunch or dinner at the Golden Girls Pop Up Restaurant in Manhattan.

Think of throwing a party and inviting everyone you know....

Golden Girls' Kitchen... is open Wednesday - Thursday, thru the end of February.

Your reservation would be for 90 minutes and includes a main course and a slice of cheesecake.

Now the question is do they play the Theme Song during the whole 90 minute meal.

Has anyone seen Sarah Kay???  Oh, she must be making a reservation...
