Speaking of pop culture, I noticed “Hart of Dixie” is on tonight, but is this a new episode? Its always fun to see or hear which pop-rock country artists will get cameos or be on the soundtrack, and Jamie King does great job as Lemon.

I wonder if the audience at the live taping of the Carrie Underwood / Steven Tyler version of Crossroads will be supplied with “very special” barf bags? Just the thought of it makes me queasy.

Its nice to hear that Holly Williams is cutting a new album and that Donna Ulisse and her bandmates are okay after the trailer incident. Crikey!

PS as an aside: There is a 13 year old Kentucky gal in Nashville named Laney Meredith who has quite a nice voice for her age. I heard a song of hers “Whatever This Is” on Heartland Public Radio yesterday and was impressed. Recent song samples can be heard at:

Laney will also be part of a “Singer Songwriter Series” in the Commodore Grill inside the West End Holiday Inn in Nashville on Saturday, February 11th at 7 PM (at 2613 West End Avenue). Not a common thing for 13 year olds (apart from Taylor Swift and Hunter Hayes anyway.) I think this gal might have a shot even without American Idol! (lol)
