1. Phil Vassar is starting to get the success he deserves. He said in a recent interview: “Kenny called me when ‘Greatest Hits’ came out and said, ‘Everything is happening to you as it is to me.’ It’s a building process, doing it one fan at a time.”
2. Well, if you are from the Noblesville Indiana area, the Fishers-Hamilton Southeastern Youth Football organization will be hosting a silent auction to raise money on Saturday, August 19, 2006 from 8 am to 5 pm at Mudsock Fields, 11989 E. 131st St. All proceeds benefit the Mudsock lighting project. Many items will be up for auction, including a guitar signed by Kenny.
3. In case you haven’t heard, “You Save Me” now has its own video … just over 8 min long. If you haven’t seen it yet, check it out. It is a very good video.
4. And speaking of You Save Me, it is currently number 47 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart. I’m sure this will increase in the coming weeks.
5. And just a reminder, Kenny’s Live CD hits shelves on September 19, 2006. 14 songs recorded live from various performances. Here’s a list of the songs from this upcoming release. Live those songs – Young man – I’ll never feel like this again – Beer in Mexico – Barrel in the closet –
What I need to do – Return – When the sun goes down – On the shore of some beautiful place – Anything but mine – Back where I come from – Don’t happen twice – How Forever feels – – She thinks my tractor it’s sexy. I’m not sure if a DVD of the performances will be released at a later date, but I hope so. It would be better if it sold like hot cakes.
6. Here’s a tip from Google: change any question to an answer and leave the part you are looking for blank. For example, if you are looking for the President of Uzbekistan … type in quotation marks, “The current President of Uzbekistan is” … and you will get an answer. It works almost always.
7. A computer tip before we go … If you haven’t checked Google Video, take a look at the home page at http://www.google.com. Like YouTube (but not as many searches yet), videos are set up in categories on the left side of the page. Jump to a category and then do a search in quotes. The link in the upper right corner of the home page.
allows you to upload your own videos.
8. And as always, if you have any suggestions, I’ll listen to them.
Until next time.
