March 24, 2013 This past Saturday at the Lawrence Hall's Super Center, potential car buyers were asked if they wanted to save extra money on their car purchase. If they did, they would have to shoot some baskets to get any additional discounts. Every basket they made up to five were worth $100 each. So the customer had the potential to save another $500 on their car deal. I asked if they minded if I could shoot a few hoops just for fun. Jeremy Johnson the Manager gave me the ball and said "knock yourself out, besides I'm kind of curious to see if you can shoot."

March 23, 2013 Mark Cooke released the video for his new "Stay With Me Tonight" single. While the song deals with the issue of two lonely, recently divorced people, the video does a lot to follow the storyline of the song. The fact that his costar is hot doesn't hurt things either. Although Mark continually asks "Stay With Me Tonight" and starts to sound like another typical 'one night stand' kind of song, this one turns the corner nicely into, two people just enjoying being with one another.
March 21, 2013 Tyler Farr just released his new single 'Redneck Crazy' and then had to make an adjustment to the lyrics because the original has a lyric that is a little too offensive for radio. While some words are allowed in today's radio world, there are other words that have no business being on the radio. I believe that the late comedian George Carlin did a stand up routine on the seven dirty words not allowed to be said on the radio, and Tyler Farr used one of those words. Thus the politically correct alternate lyric version.
March 20, 2013 I've decided to start taking some weekend road trips to places I can make in a day. My first one was to Underwood's Cafeteria in Brownwood. While we were in Brownwood, we discovered that their Antique Shops were open on Sundays, that is a big "road trip" plus. Then it was off to Underwood's where the big sign boasts "The Best Eatin' in Town Since 1946." Underwood's Cafeteria is still serving up some of the best Bar-B-Q meats in West Texas. But is their Bar-B-Q what folks remember most?

Rachele Lynae talks about her music with her producer, who also happens to be country music superstar Jamie O'neal. Rachele says "recording this album with Jamie as my producer was not only fun, but was also very intimidating and challenging because Jamie will say, look try singing it this way, she'll sing a little of it, and that in itself is very challenging and makes me want to do better." Rachele sounds like a mature well seasoned country music veteran. Nothing could be further from the truth, Miss Lynae is only 19 years young. Here's the reason she sounds so mature.

The NCAA is a non-profit organization that is raking in the cash, $10.8 billion to be exact. However, America's Business' will loose over $134 Million dollars because of the March Madness Tournament.

March 15, 2013 Casey James has released his third single from his third album, 'The Good Life.' This song comes with some tempo and a message about a man that is falling in love, a man that feels 'The Good Life' coming on. After listening to it several times, I got the feeling that this is a feel good, summer song coming on. Clear your head, grab a cup of coffee and give this Casey James song a listen.
