I'm In
I hope everyone is having a great
week. On Tuesday night, I traveled to Augusta, GA to see Heather and Jennifer, along
with Chad Brock, Mindy McCready (also known as Mrs. Matt Riggins), Gary Allan, and
Trace Adkins, in a special charity concert called "Pennies For Kids." Each
artist had his/her chair on the stage and would takes turns singing. So each one
sang 4 songs. The girls Rocked as usual. They sang She Aint the Girl For You,
Please, Im In, and Somebodys Out There Watching. Afterwards, all the
artists together sang a version of "Lean on Me, " which Heather and
Jennifer pretty much lead. They would all tell jokes on one another and kid around,
making it a very relaxed and comical atmosphere. So as always, the girls made
it an awesome show! I had a blast! How did requesting go this week? I heard it a pretty
good number of times this week in Georgia, so thats good. But we had kind of a
slow week on the
charts last week. Heres how we did:
--"I'm In" held at #51 with
an airplay gain of 31 spins on the Billboard
charts.
--"I'm In" dropped from #14 to #16 on the country singles sales chart.
--"I'm In" was the 30th most played video on CMT last week.

I'm In
"Im In" is moving its way up the
charts nicely, so our requesting is paying off. So lets please be sure to
keep up the great work this weekend and next week. I have found, that requesting during "All Request Lunch Hours" and "Afternoon Drives" offers an excellent opportunity to get our song
played...PLUS, more people are listening to their radios during this time to
hear it. So its a WIN-WIN situation! Here are two nationally
syndicated country music radio shows. If we can get these two to play "Im In," well be set. So if you would,
call or email these whenever you get a chance.

Kinley's Rock Georgia,
This past Friday, I
traveled to Macon, Georgia to see the Kinleys perform. It had been over a year since
I'd seen them perform, so I was in dire need of attending an awesome show and
hearing killer music....and I WASN'T at all disappointed! The girls weren't to get
on stage until around 10:45. Since I arrived to the venue about 3 hours earlier, I
had ample time to get to know Jennifer's hubby, Adam. This was my first time meeting
the guy that I had heard and read so much about. He's a funny and very friendly
guy...and could easily pass for a WWF wrestler (just kidding! :-) Finally, 10:45
rolled around, and there was very easy access to the stage. I was so close that I
was pretty much right under them. And there were 2 giant screens to the left and
right of the stage, so the people in the back could see. When they were introduced
and came on stage, the crowd went nuts! It was cool to feel that adrenaline rush as
they came on stage. (Those that have been to a Kinley show know what I'm talking
about.) They looked as fabulous as always, just wait until I post the pics!! They
opened with She
Ain't the Girl For You, followed with Just Between You and Me, You Make it Seem so
Easy, You're Still Here (Adam couldn't join them on stage since he was having to
make sure no one robbed the Kinley Merchandise table :-) I'm Me With You, Here, If
Ever I Needed You (if it gives you chill bumps on the cd, just wait until you hear
it live!!!), Givin' It Up, (Kai ran around the floor like a mad man singing...the
crowd loved it) 2 More Bottles of Wine, Lovers (afterward, Heather talked about how
she loved using the word hussy...is it just me, or is that a subconscious
psycological problem? :) That's Gonna Mess You Up, Please, I'm In, and Somebody's
Out There Watching. They left the stage with the crowd going crazy...it was awesome!
Afterwards at the Meet and Greet, they were as sweet as always to everyone in line,
taking time to sign, chat and take pics with them all. I think being sweet just
comes naturally to the girls. And finally, my turn came around. I gave them your
letters and told of how everyone is requesting and
is trying to make "I'm In" a #1 for them. They were very appreciative and
even seemed overwhelmed at what great fans they have. (I'm In is a very important
song to them, so we really do need to stick together and get it to the top for
them!) Like the previous times I had had spoken with them, their kindness and
sincerity just blew me away, and made me proud to be a fan of the 2 greatest people
in the world. Thanks for an awesome experience Heather and Jennifer!! Have a great
day and please KEEP REQUESTING I'M IN!!!
