OK!, so I'm coming out of the closet here. Dang! I always seem to be coming out of some closet.
Anyway, I really want to see Josh Turner, and Jason Aldean! I love Toby Mac for contemporary christian music and really want to top it off with Montgomery Gentry!
Lord, if my friends from DC could see this I would be blacklisted. And labeled a sellout to my culture. LOL!Oh Well! Who cares I love these guys!
I really hope we have enough money left in the budget to pay these entertainers after all the trips to Europe and Disney are tallied up though. I would hate for them to not be paid. Maybe they need to demand payment before coming. I mean just a thought, ya know!
