Hi All, I hope your week has gone well and you're enjoying your weekend. Can you believe it's almost Halloween and soon... UGH... it'll be Christmas! I shudder to think. I don't know about y'all, but I wasn't done with summer yet! Guess it doesn't matter, it's done with me.
Newsletter Mailings
I've had some difficulty lately with the way Zinester has sent out my email alerts to y'all about the news being posted. I have no way of really knowing if everyone has gotten the notice and while tech support says that 99% of you should have gotten it, they can't really tell for sure either. There's 2 email announcements from last month that are still sitting there as though they had never been sent out, yet I know that a lot of you got those mailings, I can't tell if everyone did. So, I've decided to resend them. IF you've already gotten them before, just delete it and bear with me. If you didn't get it before, I'd like to hear from you so I have some sort of number to feed to tech support.. and finally get them of the "post" board. Any questions or comments email me at marli@mkoc.com Thanks!CD Links
I'd like to get a little feedback if you find the time. I'm trying out some new CD links from Amazon. Now... they do make the pages load a little slower and I'm not sure how much of a headache that'll be for most. I've got the feeling those of us who live here in the sticks are the last ones still on a slower DSL connection. At any rate, I'd like to know if you like the links better or if you prefer text or the older graphic links. I do this for you to enjoy and to make it easy for you to find the CDs you like... God knows I don't make enough money to pay for the time it takes me to make any of the links.. so it's up to y'all. What's your pleasure? Write me a marli@mkoc.com

Porter Wagoner Update
Sent from Marty Martel
This press release is not one that I enjoy sending but I am asking each of you to take the minute that you read this email, to stop and ask our Good Lord to bless and touch Porter Wagoner with his miraculous hand to cure him of his lung cancer. I believe strongly in prayer as each of you do, and I feel that it should be done now by all of us. Thank you, and please also keep Porter's family in your prayers and prayer lines.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Grand Ole Opry and Country Music Hall of Fame member Porter Wagoner was released to hospice care Friday.The 80-year-old country singer was recently diagnosed with lung cancer. He was hospitalized on Oct. 15.
Earlier this year, Wagoner celebrated his 50th year at the long-running live country music show.Porter Wagoner: http://www.porterwagoner.net/

My new band " NextaKyn " will take the stage to play a set .

GARY ALLAN: THRILLED TO MAKE MUSICGary Allan goes for the visceral thrill of making music.
Country musician Gary Allan Onstage or in the studio, the California-born, Nashville-based artist performs with an emotional, gritty edge. His life and surroundings, as well as the batch of CDs playing on his changer, inform his music.
: : : 2007-10-25 : : :LIVING HARD - REVIEW BY the9153.com
by Brady Vercher
I seriously wanted to like Gary Allan’s latest album, Living Hard. I’ve been to more of his concerts than can be counted on one hand. I thought his previous four albums were outstanding and I wanted this one to be outstanding as well. But it didn’t work out that way and I was disappointed. The consensus amongst everyone I had spoken with about the album turned out to be the same. I should have been prepared after the comments he made, describing the album as having more edge than his previous, already edgy albums.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU RUN OUT OF HALLOWEEN IDEAS.
The neighbors complain that I'm too big to be coming to their doors with my Trick or Treat bag. Too bad I don't drink anymore. Alcohol really helped my Halloween enthusiasm.
Lately, if I dress up for the occasion, it's not in a regular costume... It's just some flotsam and jetsam from the back of the closet. I hate it when people ask me what I'm supposed to be.
My sister sent us this note""I am going to wear a costume to hand out tricks or treats to the neighborhood kids as I usually do, however, this year I'm going to have to make do with half of one costume and half of another, since money is tight. I have part of a "Grim Reaper" suit and half of a duck outfit so I'm going as....... 'The Grim Duck'. Happy Halloween! Love, Val"
I'm sure that hers will be better than our recent attempts. Misty was sort of a Dolly Parton, and I was some kind of gangster/dentist.
I know the neighbors will give me a hard time in this getup.
