They aren't leaving Broadway Alone...
Country as a genre is one you learn from the past...
That is why Lainey Wilson's Watermelon Moonshine might remind of you Strawberry Wine. Cole Swindell took a tried and true #1 in Heads Carolina and put his spin on it. Luke Combs took Fast Car and turned it into Gold a 2nd time.
What do you they say, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
Mimickery is the most sincere showing of flattery. With Country Music following in those footsteps. It's only fitting that the bar business comes along with it. Especially on Broadway in Nashville. Blake Shelton, Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, Miranda Lambert and many more have local spots in Nashville.
With the recently opened Garth Brooks Friends in Low Places, Eric Church's Cheif's opening in the near future, Luke Combs has allegedly been in talks, Morgan Wallen is opening a spot, Hank Williams Jr. Boogie Bar just solidified an address on Broadway.... needless to say the blue print is there in country music. The recipe is pretty simple.
Build a catalog...
Build a Brand/Career/Fanbase....
Don't take any flack...
Surround yourself with good folks personally, musically and financially.
Get a Bar.
Rinse and repeat.

Best Movies NEVER!!!
On many occasions I've said that there are way better movie critics at this station than I!
I have watched the movie about a killer tire on Netflix called Rubber. Basically, I see weird movies I have to at least check out the trailer.
Like the... "The Winnie The Pooh" Horror Movie. Or should I say Horr-ible Movie...
This popped up and made me laugh out loud, when I saw it on the screen on Hulu...
"I thought it was just going to be victims running way slowly and getting away easily.
I was wrong! And so is this!!!

When to Pumpkin or Not?
David from Norton asked when is the best time to buy pumpkins for Halloween?
I usually buy them once the weather cools off. If it is warm, in my opinion, the pumpkins do not last as long... There are other factors that go into the length of a pumpkins life span.
Pumpkins last eight to 12 weeks after they are picked, so it'll stay fresh once you pick it up. This is out of the hot sun and freezing temps. (these are also uncarved)
As to carved pumpkins: They can last as little as a few days, so keep that in mind if you want to display your carved masterpiece on Halloween night.
And if you are Pumpkin Chunkin - your pumpkin doesn't have a chance.
Happy Decorating and Keep listening to win W-Boo-MX Fun... Tickets, Haunted Houses, Fall Fests, Pumpkin Patches and more...
Teacher's Day!
To all the Teacher's, you deserve the world building our youth... minds, body and spirit.
I loved school! Basically, because I lived in the middle of nowhere and it was the only way that I got to see friends.
My teachers were a trip looking back. The Late Eileen Rensel was a stickler. I had her in 7th and 10th Grade. She taught English and before you could enter her room. You had to look her in the eye, shake her hand with the correct pressure and say "May I enter the classroom and be seated." There were a lot of students who barely made it into the classroom after 3 or 4 tries after going to the back of the line. It definitely is something that stuck with me. Her public speaking portion of her class was top notch also. She was one of the best.
I also had a History Teacher, Mr. Shade. He was nuts. For our review days... He would sit in the front of the room in a chair on a table with a catchers mask on. Students who answered questions correctly would get to throw a tennis ball at him from the back of the room. The Valedictorian and everyone were warming up before that class! Talk about a reason to retain information.
Mr. Leiber, Mr. Varner and many more have stuck with me thru the years.
Being Teacher Day remember some of your favorites... I Thank All The Teachers!!!! You are very important and thank you for all you do... I hope you get all the apples and the raises you deserve. Thank you.
