These Two!

With everyone excited for the just announced Post Malone Concert at Blossom October 1st...  Obviously the duets that will be on Posty's new album F-1 Trillion from Morgan Wallen's - I Had Some Help or Pour Me A Drink ft. Blake Shelton should be interesting to say the least.... Listen tomorrow at 7:10 for Scott and Sarah to give you the times to Beat the Box Office for Tickets.... 

But speaking of duets...   I like the ol' timey feel of this one.   Kudos, to them...  Definitely one of my favorites right now... it will be on Ella's new Hungover album is due out on August 2nd.

Way Back When...

A few weeks back, I played Trisha Yearwood's XXX's and Ooo's during the WQMX Throwback at 3:25ish.  A caller said it reminded her of riding around singing every word with her mom in the car!  When I played Alabama's Mountain Song a week ago, there were a ton of you that called in and shared stories.  Shelly stuck out, she said it reminder her of Sunday family meals it was always on to help pick up after everyone was full and tired...   I love these so much!  Shelly asked me what songs take me back to childhood moment...

Most of the weddings, events and parties and big events have all included this one...(but those are fuzzy memories)

16 year old me would say Brooks & Dunn - My Maria (summer fun and carefree)... It reminds me of riding on backroads and rope swings.

I love music ... But my Grandma really was the big country inspiration for me....   She would blare this one and I would stop playing wiffle ball and listen. I didn't even know it was Keith (at that point)... it just sounded perfect...  I don't regret stopping to this day!  

This song came out way past my childhood but I love it nonetheless...  takes me back to a carefree time filled with baseball/wiffleball...  A pitcher of Kool-Aid, score book, 4 to 20 friends and play all day, it was non-stop. There were not many times as a child that I did not have a bat, ball or glove in the vicinity...

Father's Day

Well plenty to do with Dad this weekend..  
The Country Fest, Car Show at Stan Hywet, Sunday Fun Day at The Dusty Armadillo... Hit the golf course, check out a ball game, work in the garage... (Dad will probably tell you he wants nothing.  That is probably true time spent together is the best gift...

Speaking of Gifts - Skip the tie.  Get dad some tickets, WQMX Merch, or the WQMX App in your App Store Android or Apple (this one is free)! 

Looking for a Pap's Playlist here are a couple I enjoy...

Wrasslin' Wednesday

WWE Clash At The Castle is on Saturday at 2pm from Scotland!

I have my kilt ready to rock on Sunday for the replay after The Country Fest Weekend!

Damian Priest vs Drew McIntyre

 Judgement Day is banned from ringside in the World Heavyweight Championship match.  You know they are gonna show.  Drew has to win in Scotland - I would say... (Does CM Punk play into the decision?)

Cody Rhodes vs AJ Styles 

This is a poor match-up, I think.  All the heat is on Rhodes.  There is no way he loses the belt to AJ Styles.
 
Sam Zayn vs Chad Gable

Intercontinental Championship deserves to stay with Zayn he has been entertaining.  Gable going all Alpha and treating the Academy as trash they are going to turn on his at some point.  I don't think it will be at the Clash of the Championship but something is brewing...   I think Gable claims gold in Scotland.

Bayley vs Piper Niven

Niven is stepping up her game and returning home.  I think there will be a great fight put up and Niven's Tag Team Partner Chelsea Green will entertain be a part of the pinfall...  But Bayley is just hitting her Championship Stride...

Bianca Belair, Jade Cargill vs Shayna Baszler, Zoey Stark vs Alba Fyre, Isla Dawn

No doubt Biana and Cargill will retain...  I think the only way the lose is they pin eachother.  Or someone returns to challenge???

Big questions will the Wyatt's Show Up?  There has been plenty of blips and QR Codes on both Raw and Smackdown...

Will Bloodline make any noise they have been invisible on Premium Events since...

And will anyone make a return or show-up...

Enjoy the event and remember these are just my guesses... no real science or insight is involved..   I have Wrasslin' Wednesday every Wednesday before Premium Events.

Just A Thought!

So the other day, I was sitting around and thinking about football uniforms?  I know this is what kept me out of big schools...

I think the Browns should have an alternative uniform with fluorescent hunter orange jerseys, shoes and helmets.  Then a brown camo line on the helmet, numbers and pants....  Wear them in hunting season. 

What do you think?   

Anyway speaking of uniforms wear those "Send Me Backstage Shirts" to The Country Fest!!!  This year is going to legendary and so many artists doing fun things!!!   Let's Get The Party Of The Summer Started!!!!  Still can grab tickets while they last at TheCountryFest.com.

Did They Get It Right?

So I believe we could all go thru and figure out our Favorite Country Songs.  They would most likely all be different! (I think!) 

But Rolling Stone went thru and did their country rankings...  I know they are not the country music authority or anything like that, but it always interesting to see who ends up where and who is left off out of the 200?
