COUNTRY STAR AARON TIPPIN SPENT THE THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY WITH TROOPS DEPLOYED OVERSEAS
(Nashville, TN) – Country music star Aaron Tippin left for Afghanistan Nov. 18 and performed for the troops stationed there through Nov. 27. He performed music from his new album, “Now & Then,” as well as his well-known hits. This was his second Thanksgiving tour sponsored by Stars for Stripes and U.S. Army, Europe.
“Those are the real working men and women, and if I can repay even an ounce of what they are doing for me, my family, and my country by taking their mind off of the day-to-day risks … well, I can’t think of a better thing to do with my time,” Tippin said. “They have been fighting for the rights we take for granted every day, and I want to make sure they know we’re thankful.”
Stars for Stripes is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing quality entertainment to internationally deployed U.S. service members, according to its Web site. The organization also is a member of America Supports You, a Defense Department program highlighting ways Americans and the corporate sector are supporting the nation’s military.
Tippin launched his career in 1991 with his debut single, “You’ve Got to Stand For Something,” a single that reached Top 10 status and quickly became an anthem for Operation Desert Storm. He found that many viewed him as a voice of patriotism, a badge he wears proudly to this day.
On the heels of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, Tippin again rose to the occasion with “Where The Stars And Stripes and the Eagle Fly.” He donated the proceeds from the single, which zoomed to the No. 2 position on the Billboard chart, to the Disaster Relief Fund of the Nashville Area Chapter of the American Red Cross.
“Country fans went out and bought the record to help other Americans who needed help at the time,” Tippin said. “That’s common of what real country fans are like.”
It’s the fan enthusiasm and support that has motivated the singer to take an active role not only through his music, but through performances for the troops.
To date, Tippin has performed for more than 500,000 military personnel either overseas or at home.

Jake Owen
Editorial Review
Amazon.com
Newcomer Owen arrives at his debut with a passel of co-writes with top Nashville tunesmiths Brett James and Casey Beathard (as well as eight with his producer, Jimmy Ritchey), and has enjoyed opening tour slots for Kenny Chesney and Brad Paisley. That means his label expects big things. The Florida native hits the usual radio-ready topics--the bikini stirrings of "Something About a Woman," the drinking-her-off-my-mind pain of "The Bottle and Me." But balancing the good-time single "Yee Haw" is the affecting and well-crafted title tune--which revolves around the poor judgment of youth and the desire to live a better life--and the serious "Ghosts," an alcoholic's confession of regret and resolve. With his Southern-everyman drawl and standard-issue Haggard vocal stylings, Owen will live or die by his songs. How well he can follow this up should tell the tale. --Alanna NashStartin' With Me Listen

Gary Allan
BACKSTAGE FOOTBALL
11-30-2006
The 2006 #1 draft pick, Jay Cutler, will make his first start in an NFL game as the Denver Broncos quarterback on Sunday night against the Seattle Seahawks---but perhaps to calm his nerves, he chilled out this past weekend at the Gary Allan concert at Denver's Fillmore venue.
Gary's football loving band just happened to have a football on board the bus so while backstage, Cutler warmed up for his NFL debut by hurtling a long pass to Allan's steel player, C.J. Eudeen, who deftly caught the throw.

Kunaki
Digital CD / DVD Manufacturing and Publishing ServiceThis isn't an advertisement... it's a "Head's Up" for artists.
I found out about Kunaki thanks to singer/songwriter, Russ McDaniel. Russ has been using the service and told me about it so I could let other artists know of it's services.
Russ wrote, "I was surprised they do everything on line. They create a CD with all the artwork, tracks, shrinkwrap, bar code etc. Then they snail mail a complete CD with everything. They do this all free. Then they set up a digital store free. They mail hard copy's to customers; 1 or 100 or whatever. The cost at that point is $1.60 per CD. I don't have to buy them till I sell them, They handle the credit cards. too! How cool is that?"
Russ summed it up quite nicely. I checked over the site's information and from the looks of things, I feel many of you may find it useful. Take time to read over things carefully. As always, the leg work is up to you.. I'm just the messanger. ;)
How's that for a "not responsible" clause? ;)
Seriously.. check it out. If it's not for you, you've only taken a moment of your time to look at it. Then again, you may find that it's just what you've been looking for.. an affordable way to publish and sell your CDs and DVDs!

This story concerns a gift, so I send it to you each Christmas Season. - JB
He headed for the cashier's counter, hoping that the curtain rods he was carrying were the ones she wanted, when he saw it for the first time.
Funny! He'd been in this store and up and down these aisles dozens of times, but he had never noticed those wall pictures before. He wasn't much of an art critic, but he DID know he'd never seen anything quite like that train picture.
The surface of the picture was textured to look like a genuine oil painting, and somehow that scene looked more real than life!
The silver steam from the old engine glowing in the sunset, billowing against the yellow-blue-orange-pink sky.
The brightly colored, but weather worn railroad cars. The red caboose so real you could almost step right into it. Each piece of gravel along the track, each clump of vegetation on the lonesome prairie clearly defined and casting a long, late afternoon shadow.
The mountains were a bluish haze against the distant horizon. It was a painting you could stare at for a long time, finding details previously overlooked.
A bell rang. The store was closing. On impulse he hurried to the Customer Service Desk and put the picture on "layaway" with five dollars, that should really have gone toward overdue bills. He didn't know when he'd be able to manage the eleven-ninety-five balance. He paid for the curtain rods and went home, feeling a little guilty.
She stood back and looked critically at the curtains she'd hung.
He told her that they sure made a big difference in the little apartment. She laughed that, at least the curtains looked better than the view of the trash cans in the alley.
He held her and said he wished he could provide her with a decent home, with enough furnishings to go around, and she replied that they weren't doing too badly for newlyweds, and that she believed in him. He didn't mention the money he'd foolishly spent on a picture of a train.
Pay day again, and another losing battle with arithmetic. If only a single tree or a patch of grass could be seen from their window,
it might raise their spirits by interrupting the stark drabness surrounding their dingy, low rent apartment.
He felt especially sorry for her, being stuck there all day. At least taking the bus to the factory everyday gave him a change of scene.
These were his thoughts as he paid the cashier and waited for the large picture to be wrapped.
He centered it carefully on the wall over the big easy chair with the broken spring, and called her to come in from the kitchenette
and take a look at the "surprise". Wiping her hands on her apron, she glanced around the room until her eyes stopped at the unexpected explosion of color. It was so beautiful she almost cried! It was like having a window overlooking a lovely, peaceful valley locked in eternal sunset. They held hands and stared at the painting until dinner almost burned.
Years struggled by, and the broken spring chair was replaced by a new living room suite, complete with payment book. They moved several times in the course of their lives, first to a couple of larger apartments, then to a house in a suburban development and finally, anticlimactically, back to another cheap apartment, where they were to spend their autumn years.
The infirmities of old age often require a tightening of purse strings. They weren't complaining though. They'd been through rough times before.
Through the years they'd managed to hang on to two treasures: the Sunset Train painting and a true love for each other. Maybe they weren't so poor after all.
It hit him hard when she passed away. Somehow, he's always imagined he'd be the first to go. He wasn't prepared for the horrible emptiness. Nobody ever is.
He took the habit of conversing with her, even though she was gone. He'd stare at the painting and talk over old times.
Sometimes he'd sit for hours in front of the television, but his eyes would wander back to the Sunset Train, their most prized possession. He'd imagine that they were together in that valley, or riding on the train itself.
The neighbors, aware of his condition since her death, occasionally dropped in to check on him. Conversations always gravitated to the unusual picture.
Several days had passed before anyone noticed the junk mail and newspapers accumulated outside his front door. Fearing the old man had died, and after receiving no answer to their knocking and calling, the neighbors set their shoulders to the door and the old wood gave way.
Finding no one in the apartment, all clothes intact in the closets, and the television left on, the neighbors notified the police of the old man's disappearance. They arrived shortly after.
While the premises were being inspected, an officer casually commented to a neighbor, "Unusual painting in there! So realistic, I mean."
"Yeah," replied the other, "everybody remarks about that train picture. It's real pretty."
"No," said the policeman, "I'm talkin' about that big picture of the valley and the sunset, and all that. There's a railroad track runnin' through it, I guess, but no train. Yep, I'm sure there was no train in that picture."
And he was right. The train was gone.

Well, 2006 has almost come to a close. I’ll make this brief and it will be the last e-zine till 2007, so let me take this opportunity to wish you all once again, A WONDERFUL HOLIDAY SEASON. I’m looking forward to passing on much more information regarding the festival next year, in the months ahead.

CountryStars.com Reviews Erin Hay
Erin Hay - The Collection
By: George Peden, CSO Staff Journalist
Her catch-phrase is a revealing truth. For talented Erin Hay "When it’s too country for everyone else, it’s just right for me" is more about attitude than a boastful declaration. And just right it is, as her latest release The Collection (Westwood Int'l. Records) proves.
Drawing popular cuts from three previous albums and five tracks from her upcoming Blue Country Song album, this Southern California-raised and now Nashville-based singer and songwriter delivers strongly across an album of toe-tappers, weepers and traditional country fare. It’s easily understood, given the talent here, how she’s been one of the Internet’s most downloaded on country music sites.
Now with 23 of her best, Hay with long-time pal and musical mentor Lonnie Ratliff has something here that spans her career chase that started with her Nashville arrival in ‘91. That’s not to say Erin Hay hasn’t already earned fan and industry interest. She has. She’s toured Europe and Australia; and she’s well regarded on the American Indie circuit. But that final breakthrough, that final industry embrace, has eluded her. Maybe that’s about to change. She has the voice, she has the style and with this album, providing it snags the needed interest, she could have the fame. She’s done the hard yards, she’s worn the shoe leather, and she’s certainly a worthy waiter in the wings. Her best of may just be the blowtorch to create the needed smoke and fire.
The album kicks to life with "I’d Be In Memphis". Spirited and engaging, piano, steel and guitar lead the charge on a track that mines misery, but in the most musical of ways. Strength and determinism show up on the Hay and Ratliff-penned "Leaning On A Rock That Never Rolls", while the stain and shadow of war and its aftermath echo on "Midnight At The Old Soldiers’ Home". Memory prodders come offered with the Tom.T.Hall classic "Harper Valley PTA" and John Denver’s "Take Me Home Country Roads" is a welcomed inclusion.
With a confident vocal style, Hay remains consistent, and consistently good, when she tackles heart tugs like "Ten Thousand Teardrops Ago", the Bill Jackson-penned "The Tree" and the classic "Don’t Worry Bout Me", a Marty Robbins memory.
And that’s one of her defining strengths. Hay can sing just about anything. Whether she’s cutting loose with the steel-driven ode to the Opry, ‘The Circle", or the Dolly Parton cut, "False Eyelashes", or the Leroy Van Dyke charter, "Walk On By", or the lamenting truth of "Your Good Girl’s Gonna Go Bad" Hay brings feel, voice and melody to all she tackles.
Erin Hay: remember the name. Watch and wait. Meanwhile, become acquainted. The Collection is a solid introduction to a discovery waiting to happen.
