Country music lost a legend today, Jeannie Seely.
Jeannie had been on the Opry stage performing over 5,000 shows. She was an amazing woman and a hoot to talk with. May she rest in peace 📸LISA OConnor/AFF-USA.

In a world where music feeds our souls and unites people from all walks of life, there exists a particular genre that resonates with a sense of timeless patriotism and unwavering loyalty to one's roots. This genre, known as country music, has produced countless icons, but none quite as influential as Toby Keith. With a heart full of pride and an unwavering love for his country, Toby Keith's music became the soundtrack of an entire nation. Yet, fate dealt a cruel blow as it revealed Toby's battle with cancer. Yesterday, Toby lost his three-year battle with stomach cancer and passed away surrounded by loved ones.

Toby Keith was not just another musician; he embodied the spirit of America, his rugged voice echoing through stadiums, concerts, and campsites. From humble beginnings in Oklahoma, he encapsulated the essence of the American dream, resiliently working his way to the top of the music charts. Toby's songs were filled with stories of the average American, the patriot, and the hardworking individual who loved their country unconditionally. RIP Toby Keith!!!

Happy Heavenly Birthday Naomi Judd!!!
On what would have been the beloved performer's 78th birthday, it seemed appropriate to share this video from The Judds show in Las Vegas from October 2015. Naomi Judd was half of the best-selling duo The Judds. She tragically passed away last year from su***de. We can only hope she has found her peace. We are sending her, all her friends and family our well wishes on her special day.

Unleashing the Power of Music: A Gibson Garage Review
They are not kidding here with the name, Gibson Garage. This store has everything a guitar player could want. The selection of guitars is insane. There is plenty to browse, they have a 'room' dedicated to all of their brands. An Acoustic room, Epiphone, Kramer, Mesa Boogie room, a Custom Shop, and a repair shop. There is a great selection of merchandise, other than guitars. You can purchase, hats, t-shirts, retro Gibson clocks, patches, stickers, etc.

Everyone I encountered was incredibly kind, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Even the security guy.

Then to make 2023 even bigger for her, she was named Time magazine's "Person of the Year". She is also known as a kind person, loves her fans, and is known for her philanthropic efforts.

Award-winning singer, songwriter, entertainer, and entrepreneur Toby Keith launched a three-show run at Dolby Live at Park MGM in Las Vegas last night with a triumphant return to the stage and touring.

In the first of three shows, which sold out in minutes to become one of the fastest-selling tickets in the venue's history, Keith performed a two-hour set of non-stop entertainment. One of the crowd's favorite moments came when he sat on a stool, center stage, and performed six songs that he said "should've been singles." The concert also featured some of his 32 No. 1's and 42 top 10 hits that have helped propel him to have more than 100 million BMI performances and more than 10 billion streams overall. Two more shows are scheduled for tonight, December 11, and Thursday, December 14. (Photo ©Greg Watermann)
