Country Radio Tour in the South

Hello Blog Fans!

This post is chock full of info and videos!

Both videos in this blog are from my Country Radio Station tours. You will see me with numerous DJs , but you will also see pics with my Road Manager, Guitarist, Promoter and Tour Photographer Scott Jarman.

Scott is a songwriter/guitarist living and working in Nashville, originally from Indiana. We met about 5 years ago when we both were auditioning for the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville! We've stayed in touch over the years and played at several clubs together around Music City.

When I started planning this tour, and knew I would not only be doing interviews, but performing live, I immediately thought Scott would be a great partner. I was right!

In addition to the many hats Scott has worn during these tours - I told him his most important job was to find me healthy places to eat! This was no easy task and usually impossible, considering we were in mostly small Southern towns! We did manage to have a lot of great unhealthy Southern food that we totally enjoyed! And you will see a few pics of some of those amazing heart attack rendering meals in the video!

Scott did, however, find me a Red Lobster or two and an Applebee's where I could stick to my Weight Watcher plan!

Here's a typical day for me on the road:

Three, sometimes four stations a day, traveling 100's of miles in between, singing and chatting on live radio at all the stations.

By the time I reach the hotel late in the day, it is time for dinner, with a much needed glass of wine! After dinner is basically just collapsing in front of the TV until I fall asleep.

Next morning, up at 5AM, getting gussied up, packing up, checking out and on to the next station for a 7AM or 8AM interview and it starts all over again!!

The morning DJ’s were always so energetic and so darn happy and peppy! I pretended I was energetic and peppy too! (Hey, I was voted "Peppiest girl" in high school. Was I a cocker spaniel pup? What was that about?)

I found DJ’s to be smart and interesting people with, of course, amazing speaking voices. Some of them had been doing it all their lives and some had had other professions. Many had been musicians but I also met three former teachers/college professors who then became DJ’s. I think every DJ I met, LOVED what they did and it showed!

I certainly am lucky to be on this “road” and I hope you enjoy these two videos of my adventures!
