Hey, Gang!  Chad here!  One of my favorite parts of the WBKR Waking Crew is our Nashville insider, Nashville Kat!  She's a total blast and, like a "tidy" cat, she's always got the "scoop" for us.  Each morning around 7:40, she hacks up some of the juciest furballs about your favorite country music stars and shares them with Moon and me.  She's always insightful, hilarious and her voice is, well, the Kat's Meow!  So, I thought I would give you all the chance to meet Nashville Kat up close and personal!  I sat down with her for this EXCLUSIVE interview (Anderson Cooper, eat your heart out!)  and I call it an "exclusive" interview because this is the first one she's ever done!  And she did it JUST FOR YOU!  So, ladies and gents . . . I give you Nashville Kat!

Earlier this week, the Red Cross visited the WBKR studios to conduct CPR training.  Dave Spencer and I hadn't been certified since way back in high school when we were required to get jiggy with Resusci Anne!   After completing our training (with these little guys who look like they escaped the BLUE MAN GROUP), we decided to share our new skills with YOU to demonstrate the importance of CPR and how it can truly SAVE LIVES!!  And, at the end of the video, we let you know how YOU can take part in RED CROSS training too!

Chad here!  The LEGENDARY LIVE concert Saturday was freakin' awesome!!  If you guys were out in the crowd, you know that Jaclyn, Lo Cash, Brett Eldredge, Jason Michael Carroll, Kellie Pickler, Rodney Atkins and Montgomery Gentry put on one heckuva show

Calling all Thruston Tomcats!  Calling all Thruston Tomcats!  If you attended Thruston Elementary, worked there, or taught there, I have exciting news for you!  We are ALL invited to a special THRUSTON SCHOOL REUNION, from 2 to 4pm, Sunday, May 15th at Yellow Creek Park!  You are asked to stop by and share some of your memories of the school and what life was like as a student there!  It's funny.  I remember my very first day of kindergarten and screaming bloody murder because I didn't want to get out of my mother's Maverick!  I think they literally had to drag me inside . . . and, now, I'm certainly glad they did.  My memories of Thruston school are special and, yes, HILARIOUS!

On Saturday, The WBKR "Grand" Canyon and I rolled out of our Frederica Street offices to morph into a Publisher's Clearing House-like prize patrol!  I had a big ole laminated check for $1,000 to give away and I had my winner's name in hand.  I also had, in hand, my Mapquest directions to her house.  Little did I know that Nancy Kolb lives deep in the woods of Philpot and to find her I was going to need a giant canister of Deep Woods Off!, assistance from a U.S. Postal Carrier, and the grace of God!

I am on the go a lot, so I rarely get the chance to go shopping.  And, I'll be honest, it's not my favorite thing to do anyway (because I can NEVER make up my mind and I get bored VERY quickly!)  I am the poster child for Attenion Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and I'm just not built for accomplishing one task at a time.  But Friday, I decided to tempt fate and go shopping for a new laptop computer.  And, like always, I got REALLY bored REALLY fast and quickly wandered out of the laptop aisle!  I think about 6 different sales assistants asked me if they could help because I was bopping in and out of about 12 different aisles of the store.  Then I found this . . .

Once a month, I travel down to Nashville, TN to broadcast live Backstage at the Grand Ole Opry!  It's an awesome gig, because I get to meet a lot of Opry stars, hang out with them in the green room, and have a "grand" ole time!  Well, yesterday, I got to meet, for the first time, bluegrass star Rhonda Vincent, who strolled into the green room and had me at "Hello!"
