I was hearing a faint voice in the distance... "If You Build It, They Will Come." Sure it isn't a ball diamond in a cornfield. This is heaven for country fans as Luke Bryan's Farm Tour got underway tonight in Wisconsin. What a great way to see a show... The tour hits Baltimore, OH (southeast of Columbus) next Friday the 17th.

Dylan Scott's Son Beckett is PBR Bound!!!! Love the enthusiasm!
I wonder how everyone who is pulled out of the crowd sounds so great? Don't you think, it would be a law of averages? I have watched videos of what looked like 5 year olds belting out perfect lyrics and playing perfect notes... This 17 year old really sounds like she could be on the next duet with Dustin Lynch...Click Here to Watch. Not that I wish anyone to bomb on stage, by any means. …

The sold out WQMX Golf Outing is going to be a blast. This is behind-the-scene footage of me at Raintree Golf and Event Center on the 16th! I'm kidding but it is funny.

Hole Sponsorships still available at WQMX.com.
In December, my house will continue to be a dojo... My son goes thru spells of American Ninja Warrior, Bruce Lee Movies and Cobra Kai. Basically he watches about 2 seconds of the show and then starts spin-kicking the air and everything around the room. It is fun... Well sometimes! The path of destruction leaves more coordination to be desired. So in December looks like the McKee Dojo is back.... in the All Valley Karate…
This seems like a really bad idea. I'm going with NOT!!! I can see a lot of relatonships FALLING apart because of this event. This past Saturday, in Hungary, they held their 2nd Wife Carrying Contest! It is almost 900 meters of hills with water hazards. Around 40 couples are said to have competed. I'm not sure how many are still alive? I'm kidding, but some falls looked brutal. Each pair ran the course twice…
