How can Thanksgiving possibly be this week? Seems like it was just the first of the year a few days ago. I can look back at 2011 and find so many things to be thankful for. My wife, for starters. We got married in June after dating for....well, quite a while. I'm thankful that she continues to put up with me. Also for my job. I'm very thankful for all the loyal WXBM listeners who tune in every day and allow me and all of us to do what we love to do every day. As Marty says, if it wasn't for you listening, we'd have to get real jobs. It sounds kinda light-hearted, but it really is true. Thank you for listening.
I'm also thankful that Eric Church will be heading out on the "Blood, Sweat & Beers" tour starting in January, because according to his official website, he'll be making a stop at the Wharf in Orange Beach on Saturday, March 10th!! I'm a huge Church fan, so I'll be looking forward to this one.
Eric will be on tour with Brantley Gilbert and several other up & coming artists. No word on when tickets will be on sale or how much they will be for the Orange Beach show. We'll let you know as soon as we hear. For more info on the tour visit: http://www.ericchurch.com/
Martina McBride has a TV special scheduled next month. The 13th annual "A Home For the Holidays with Martina McBride" will feature performances from Martina, Justin Bieber, Mary J. Blige, Gavin DeGraw and several others to raise awareness about adopting children from foster care. Look for Martina's special December 21st, on CBS. The other big country Chrismas TV special is the "CMA Country Christmas". Look for performances from Brad Paisley, Keith Urban, Rascal Flatts, Sugarland, Kellie Pickler, Darius Rucker, Scotty McCreery and Vince Gill. The show will be hosted by Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles December 1st on ABC.
Lady Antebellum will be performing on the season finale of Dancing With the Stars tomorrow (11/22) on ABC. The final three contestants are Rob Kardashian, JR Martinez and Ricki Lake. I couldn't tell you who is the best dancer, but I like JR because of his attitude and what he has made of his situation.
The annual Coats For Kids drive is underway now! The United Way of Santa Rosa County is looking for new or gently used coats of all sizes to help needy families this winter. There are several spots throughout Santa Rosa County to donate including the WXBM studios. They will be accepting donations through January 31st, and once they coats are collected, they will be dry cleaned by Woodbine Cleaners and distributed to families in need. So, if you have a coat or coats that you don't wear or your kids have out-grown, put them to good use. For more information, visit http://www.unitedwaysrc.org/ or call (850) 623-4507.
Again, from all of us at WXBM, have a great Thanksgiving and thanks for listening to Your Country 102.7 WXBM.
