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

Kenny Harrell likes

"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-

W. C. Jameson

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.

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

ENTERTAINER OF THE YEAR nominees

Okay... so somewhere along the line I missed a day this week. LOL So today I'm shining the spotlight on the last two nominees for Texas Music Awards Entertainer of the Year.

john Arthur martinez- jAm to his friends - is one of the most easy going/ hard working/ down to earth people I've come across in this business so far. Then we add he is humble and diplomatic and a family man. Is it any wonder he is in this category alone for the FOURTH time, first winning the award back in 2006.

jAm has been on the nominees list for various awards nine times counting his three nominations this year. A quick recap, those three would be: Song of the Year for Tennessee Left Texas, Popular Cover Award (for his rendition of the Merle Haggard classic, Sing Me Back Home) and Entertainer of the Year.

I send Good Luck and Country Blessings!





Pauline Reese is one of my favorite ladies in Texas Music today. Why? Because this woman personifies the 'I Can Do It All' attitude. She is a doting mother, a country wife, a talented singer, songwriter, performer. Geez. The woman can cook, garden, take care of the critters and love on her babies... all while fresh lyrics run through her head. When we chat on twitter, I can hear the 'happy' in her voice. I can't wait for the day when we actually get to sit and talk.

In the mean time, let's talk about her music accomplishments as they relate to the Texas Music Awards. Since her debut on the Awards list in 2006 when she debuted as a nominee for Record of the Year with Cowboy Way - The Good, The Bad and the Ugly, Pauline has been nominated NINE times. PLUS in two different years (with 2 separate producers - John Burris and Justin Pollard) her albums resulted in Producer of the Year nominations for John and Justin respectively. John for 'TOO TEXAS -Live at Cherry Ridge" and Justin in 2012 for "Just Getting Started".

With all those nominations, she has three wins to her credit... including the honor of being the first FEMALE Entertainer of the Year - (2010)  Tomorrow, Pauline Reese will serve as Grand Marshall in the Texas Music Awards parade through Linden.

I send Good Luck and Country Blessing!

Linden TX is going to be one happening town tomorrow. Wish I could be there. Will you? Please stop and leave comments for any of our artists. I should have the complete Winners List posted Sunday morning.

Congratulations to all the nominees and Good Luck at the Music Barn and the Texas Music Awards!
Country Blessings - Kelly
