(Titta tillbaka på tidigare nyhetsblad på http://home.bip.net/peruno )
I mitt förra brev berättade jag att det var kallt i Texas just nu. Kolla in vad som hänt Kenny Chesney och hans turné.
Chesney Cancels Austin Show
Posted by AllAboutCountry.com on February 25, 2003 at 19:07:00:
Due to severe ice storms, Kenny
Chesney's “Margaritas 'n' Senoritas” tour is being forced to cancel tonight's
show at the Frank Erwin Center in Austin, TX.
The show’s rigging truck is stuck outside of Dallas, and Chesney decided to pull
the plug over concern for his touring personnel and due to inadequate time to
set his stage.
"It takes an act of God to keep me out of Austin," said Chesney. "I love Austin as much as anywhere on this earth...it is a real drag this happened. With so many dates, though, left to go on this tour don't want to take any chances or risk anyone getting hurt."
No rescheduled date has been announced.
In other artist news, Chesney has been voted “Performer of the Year” in Radio & Records. Designed to recognize an artist's comprehensive career impact, the panel of radio programmers and managers voted the honor based on Chesney's single, retail, concert and awards success over the last calendar year.
"Somebody told me that was like their
Entertainer of the Year," said Chesney. "Coming from the guys who're on the
frontlines with the fans, the people who bring them our music and sort of serve
as the bridge between us and all the people who listen and care -- well, that's
heavy. And given that they've watched this career grow, that they believed when
a lot of people didn't, it lets you know what the good stuff really is: other
people sharing in your dream and then seeing it start to come true."
Country artist Clay Walker is opening up about his personal battle ...

Country artist Clay Walker is opening up
about his personal battle against multiple sclerosis (MS) to help others living
with the disease and to assist in finding a cure. Walker has founded the Band
Against MS Foundation, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to making
information available about living with MS, and to providing funding
for research and MS programs.
MS är en form av nervsjukdom om jag är korrekt underättad!
En kanonplatta som jag just lyssnar på är Travis Caudell.
Never heard about him before! Spelar några spår i
nästa Country, Country Music!
Hej Janne! Jag vet inte
om du känner till en kille i Halmstad som heter Roland Turesson, han har ett
countryprogram i Radio Halland på fredagar. Han sa att Dixie Chicks skulle göra
en snabbvisit till Sverige för att vara med i tvprogrammet: Sen kväll med Luuk
på tv4. Inspelningen skulle äga rum i mars nångång (14 mars??). Då får man hålla
ögonen öppna för Dixie Chicks är något utöver det vanliga, jag har alla deras
skivor. Det är ju inte så många men 3st har dom hunnit göra och dom är helt
enkelt lysande.
Vi hörs..hälsn / Rickard, Örkelljunga
Tack Richard, jag känner Roland sedan många år tillbaka! Vi ser fram emot Dixie Chicks framträdande och hoppas att de spelar bra country! Vi kan också skicka en eloge till TV4 som satsar så rätt! De verkar ha fattat att countrymusik är väldigt utbrett och populärt inte bara i USA utan även i vårt lilla land. Snart kanske även vår statliga radio och TV-organisation vaknar?? Njä, där tog jag nog allt i! Flå´t!
Börge, nedan, vill ha tips om festivaler i Europa i sommar! Sänd info till mig så kommer det in i något kommande nyhetsbrev.
Hej Janne. håller med, tråkigt att Johnny Paycheck gått ur tiden.

vänliga hälsningar

Appropå att jag spelade "May The Bird Of Paradise Fly Up Your Nose" med Jimmy Dickens i mitt program i tisdags, så fick jag den här storyn idag.
==========================================
STORY BEHIND THE SONG
==========================================
According to Neal Merritt, Little Jimmy Dickens only number one song, “May
The Bird Of Paradise Fly Up Your Nose,” was written in about twenty minutes
after watching Johnny Carson! Neal said, “I was living in El Paso, Texas at the
time and was working for KHEY Radio. I turned the TV on late one night and
Johnny Carson was coming on. During his opening monologue, he said, “May the
bird of paradise lay a golden egg
in Skitch Henderson’s beard.”
That line struck me as a good idea for a song. I opened a couple of beers
and by the time I finished them, I had also finished the song—in about twenty
minutes! I just changed the line about “lay a golden egg” to “fly up your nose”
and “May The Bird Of Paradise Fly Up Your Nose” was written!” The Jimmy Dickens
record entered the country music charts October 9th, 1965 and made it to number
one where it stayed for two weeks. It was Dickens’s 11th chart single and his
only number one! It was on the country charts for 19 weeks. The song also
reach # 15 on the pop music charts on December 4th, 1965.
