4 weeks ago Dakota Bradley was discovered by Ellen DeGeneres after Dakota posted a video on YouTube, within a couple weeks and with Ellen's help, Bradley was in Nashville working with Tim McGraw. Dakota is an 18 year old singer/songwriter that has been inspired by country music legends like Keith Urban, Tim McGraw and Taylor Swift just to name a few. To insure he starts his career the right way, Tim McGraw helped Dakota by giving him a song called "Somethin' Like Somethin'." The song was ear-marked to be on Tim's "Two Lanes of Freedom" album. When you listen to the song "Somethin' Like Somethin'" it actually sounds like McGraw should be singing it. The single is to be released on May, 14th.

Morgan Frazier is a musician and a songwriter from Breckenridge, Texas. Morgan has been 'seriously' working in the music business since she was nine years old. The spunky West Texas girl was a natural at singing her songs and selling her CD's. Anywhere there was a stage the 9 year old wowed strangers wherever she went. That was the training ground Morgan needed to hone her skills as she kept her eye on Nashville. Today Morgan Frazier is that girl, who made it in Nashville and has her own "Yellow Brick Road."

5 weeks ago When I first ran across the talking dog video where his owner was describing all kinds of food, I thought I was going to bust a gut with laughter. Now here's yet another talking dog video but this pooch wants a kitten. What is it that makes these videos so funny? Is it the dogs expressions or the fact that dogs can't talk and I'm buying into this? Nonetheless, check it out and let me know what you think.
April 19, 2013 Brad Paisley has struck gold with his newest C.D. "Wheelhouse." It's already sold over 100,000 albums since being released just a few days ago. "Wheelhouse" is on track to go gold if not platinum in the next six weeks or so, which is great news for Paisley being that Brad went completely off the normal path of album making. Not only did Brad throw the 'album making rule book' out the window, he says in the album notes "we had only one rule and that was, there are no rules." That may have made the difference as the album debuted at No.1 on Billboard's Country Charts.

The answer is clear, papa Keith is not only producing the project, father and daughter are co-writing on a few songs as well. I'll warn you now, the first song will make you cry like a 4 year old that dropped his ice cream. I have five daughters and this song got to me!

All of the following will cover the minimum legal requirements, while others help you with your getting your photo and fingerprint credentials and all the necessary paperwork. The prices ranged from $69 up to $150 just for the CHL class. The big difference is who is teaching it, where it's being taught and with some , since it's an all day event some include breakfast, lunch and dinner. Class sizes range in size too, from 6 to a class up to 25 to 30 per class. Here's the list.
