MERRY CHRISTMAS! - Some friends share their Favorite Christmas Songs


I want to take this time to wish all of my friends in this crazy business a very
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
We do what we do every day not for fame, nor glory but for the
LOVE!
So share the LOVE this Holiday Season! 
SING for all the WORLD to HEAR!

~ Country Blessings!

I asked some of the artists I've met this year to share their favorite Christmas song! 


Pauline Reese chose two favorites with personal ties this holiday season:
"I'll Be Home for Christmas" 
"Two Step 'Round the Christmas Tree" - Michael Martin Murphey







"Blue Christmas" - Elvis Presley












Mark Allan Atwood shared three of his favorites:
"The Christmas Song" - Nat King Cole
"Rockin' 'Round the Christmas Tree - Peggy Lee
"Blue Christmas" - Elvis Presley







                                                Gary P. Nunn shared:
                                                   "Oh Come All Ye Faithful"
















And my dear friend of almost twenty years-


He likes them all. 












With this post, I send blessings for love and happiness as we close out 2013 and look forward to all 2014 has to offer!

Remember to check back here when planning your New Years Eve festivities.
Regular postings will resume the second week in January.

2013 WALLBANGER BASH TOY DRIVE - The Mule Barn

Yes, folks, we have come to that time of year when we MUST recognize there are those less fortunate than us. Not only recognize, but DO SOMETHING. Many events like this will be popping up across the country. If you are in the Justin, Texas area put this party on your To Do list for Sunday night. Spread the love and cheer to others while taking note of that warm fuzzy feeling washing over you - and I guarantee the feeling will not be solely alcohol-induced!

MERRY TEXAS CHRISTMAS - From Steelville Missouri



Christmas came early for this country girl last night when I had the opportunity to attend the
'Christmas Cowboy - Michael Martin Murphey Christmas show at the Meramec Music Theatre in Steelville MO.


I have been networking with Texas singer/ songwriter Pauline Reese since I began this blog but never had the opportunity to meet her in person. When I found out Pauline would be performing a short two-hour drive from me I gave her a shout and she arranged everything. Mind you, I did not recall until after contacting her that Michael Martin Murphey was the headliner. That was the bonus in my stocking.


Murph has taken Pauline under his wing and she has been touring with him for the past several weeks. He is also producing her next album... which she will be in the studio with Willie Nelson on December 4th to work on one of the tracks.



Aside from an AWESOME show with these talented folks, a guitar was auctioned off with the proceeds going to the Fiona Rose Charity... a charity close to Murph's heart, raising money and awareness for childhood bone diseases. The guitar, donated by Murph, had the words to Wildfire written on the face.
The guitar went for $3000, the winning bid of Bob Brinkman, though he passed the guitar to the 2nd highest bidder, David Greene.

Bob, Murph, Pauline, David
So many people played a part in making this evening magical for me but my biggest hug of all goes to my
friend, Pauline. Her only request was that I pay it forward. Not a problem.

We are all blessed with something. The question is what can you do to share your blessing? What will you do to brighten someone's day? Think of something. Then DO IT! Afterwards, leave me a comment as to what you did. There just might be something extra in YOUR Christmas stocking this year.

Merry Christmas and Country Blessings
Kelly
