Garth Brooks Turns 50
In 1994 when Garth Brooks was 32 years old, WBKR was doing a Garth-a-thon to bring Garth Brooks in concert and it payed off big time! Garth scheduled 3 shows at Roberts Stadium February of 1994.
The three shows sold out in one hour and 22 minutes, I was lucky enough to see Garth in concert back then and to this day it's one of the best concerts I have ever seen!
Happy Birthday Garth!

What’s Your Favorite Love Song? [POLL/VIDEO]
Valentine's Day is coming up and guys if you want to score some big points with your significant other, make them a CD filled with love songs that they like, I did that for my wife couple years ago yes I know I'm very sweet! I think they appreciate it when we try to do something more instead of giving them the same old stuff on Valentine's Day.

Forgotten & Upgraded Technology
I think information of past technology is pretty cool to look back on and see how far we have come, by the year 2000 there was still 2 million pay phones in America, by 2007 & 2008 pay phones declined 58% and was removed from restaurants, retail & other public places.
I think the kids of today should appreciate the technology we have today, like huge flat screen t.v.'s with High Definition quality, when I was a kid the family t.v. was a black & white 19 inch t.v. most of my drinking water came from a well, not bottled water. We had a yellow rotary home phone, I could go on & on. But as I sit here on my laptop watching my satellite t.v. with a remote control in my hand I am very thankful for what I have lived through and what I have today.

Burning Up Those Guitar Strings [VIDEO]
I for one who plays the guitar myself can appreciate the stars of the past & present who can play anything on their guitar. One of the best guitar players of all time was 'Mr. Guitar' Chet Atkins who we lost in 2001 at the age of 77. It takes a very special talent to pick up a musical instrument and play it the way he did!
I'm sure Chet would be proud if he heard the way folks like Brad Pailsey, Keith Urban, Vince Gill, Lee Roy Parnell, Steve Wariner & so many more who can burn up those strings just the way Chet did. Check out my video's and see the late great Chet Atkins in action!

Do Movie Sequels Measure Up To The Original? [VIDEO]
I was watching "Back to the Future" this past weekend and I was telling my wife that I like three movies in that series of movies! I also like all the "Naked Gun" movies, "Grumpy Old Men" and "Grumpier Old Men," "Home Alone" & "Home Alone 2 Lost In New York" didn't care much for part three of that series. But anyway it's hard to top the original, but sometimes the sequels work!
What movie sequels do you like or dislike?
