CMA Fest 2011

Mighty fine and a great big western so long to CMA Fan Fest 2011. I'm about grinned out, but delighted to have met so many fans and friends. High points? TV interview with Cuban spitfire Shela, the Caribbean Oprah...rocking out on WSM live...signing autographs next to the American Idol winners and their mega-decibel fans...hugging a Quebe sister. See you next year!

Too Hank

Too Slim wore Hank Snow's toupee on the Opry last Saturday night. "Once the initial creepiness wore off, it was fun," reports the Slimster. "Plus, it inspired everybody backstage to do their Hank Snow impression: 'You're fired, Chubby.' 'And here she is...Miss Kelly Foxton!' And my personal favorite: 'On behalf of all those I felt did a fine job out here tonight...'"
