Turkey and Dressing isn’t Just for Thanksgiving According to Rudy’s Father

Since mom passed a couple years ago I've been looking after my aging father and it can get pretty interesting at times, especially when you've got a dad like mine (half drill sergeant, half comedian). When mom was alive she told dad what he was hungry for. Now, dad found his hunger independence and he tells me what he's been craving. Last week he says "you know son, turkey and dressing isn't just for Thanksgiving, I'm hungry and I want turkey and dressing. Take me to eat turkey and dressing, right now."

Adam Fears Releases His First National Release Since Leaving West Texas – Review

Adam Fears is originally from right here in Texas, Tyler to be exact, but he lives, writes, and records in Nashville now, but there was a time when he was practically living in West Texas. A few years ago Adam was a regular around the KEAN studios, I just wished I had kept one of his old interviews just to play them back now that he's got his first national release. I told him back then and I'll say it again "Adam you've got something, go to Nashville and make something happen for yourself." From what I can tell Adam Fears is like an old bottle of bourbon, he just keeps getting better with time. Just listen to his new song.
