The English Elvis!

Shortly, the company I work for will be celebrating it’s 70^th year anniversary, so the advertising campaign that they will be doing will show the well-known yellow cup, in the hands of many of the famous characters the defined each of the decades of their existence.

And as you will see below – I played a very important role!!

I have been talking with the producers of a TV show called Troubador Texas for Sponsorship opportunities. Following the lives of Texas country musicians.

They have invited me to the last two events, the first was a small concert to around 50 guests in the studio to hear some of the shows performers, plus Michael Martin Murphey, a prominent musical voice for the Western horseman, rancher, and cowboy – known for the song ‘Wildfire’  and  in the Texas Country Music Hall Of Fame.

Last night the event was a live concert by 3 of Nashville’s most prolific songwriters, Bob DiPiero, Brett James & Tim Nichols. 

They told stories about the songs they wrote, what inspired them, and stories of working with some of the biggest stars of country music.

You should listen to some of my favorite songs they wrote:

She Only Smokes When She Drinks - Joe Nichols

Live Like You Were Dying – Tim McGraw

 Southern Voice - Tim McGraw

Blue Clear Sky-George Strait

Daddy's Money-Ricochet

Cowboy's Like Us-George Strait

Jesus, Take the Wheel - Carrie Underwood

"When the Sun Goes Down" by Kenny Chesney and Uncle Kracker

Out Last Night - Kenny Chesney

Cowboy Casanova - Carrie Underwood

 If You Ever Stop Loving Me - Montgomery Gentry

The event was Catered by Lisa Garza - A reality TV Chef, with a southern theme. Including Fried Chicken, Black eyed peas, Jalapeno Cornbread and Grits. But somehow this simple southern food all had a gourmet touch to it. It was lovely, served with Mint Juleps & Arnold Palmer’s.

Here are just some of the desserts.

And Finally….

On Friday we went to a comedy club to see Screech from Saved by the Bell doing stand-up (Picture below to remind those not born in the 80’s/90’s) He was terrible, very crude and definatley trying to prove a point that he wasn’t the same geeky guy that we all knew him as on Saved by the Bell.

Lad on Tour!
