In a recent interview, Keith Urban got onto the topic of vacation and his bucket list. He mentioned one item on his bucket list is to visit the pyramids in Egypt! Can you imagine?! I think that would be so amazing to see these giants of history in person. No one is quite sure how they were built, etc. The pyramids are such a big part of world history and so fascinating. Maybe we should…

Once you hear it during the New @ 9, let me know your thoughts on the Toth Buick GMC text line at 330-370-2000, or you can call me at the same number.

Tonight at 9:00 on the New At 9, we will play Keep It Or Kick It with new music from Luke Bryan. His song "Country Song Came On" will be featured.

The Morgan Wallen Foundation teamed up with Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation to donate $500,000 worth of musical instruments to schools in need. They were donated to kids mostly in lower income areas in which Morgan Wallen has performed one of his stadium tour shows in 2024! They always say how important music education is to students in school, and I think half a million dollars will go a long way!
Trick or Treat at my house was Saturday from 6-8 this weekend. If yours was too, how'd it go? I think ours went well on my street, although overall I thought it was a lot quieter than it has been the last couple of years in terms of business (number of kids). There were a few times it got really busy, but there was a lot more down time than usual. It was kind of…
Every Fall, I try to pay attention to the first time it starts getting rather cold out. I judge that by asking myself what is the date when my car FIRST tells me the temperature has dropped to 39. When the temperature drops to 39, my car will ding at me, flash the temperature on my dashboard and put a snowflake next to the number. Well, it happened last night on my way home from…
This past Sunday, something happened that many would consider a long time coming. Toby Keith was posthumously inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Of course this is an honor that so many artists do not take lightly...no matter what genre of music they're in. To be inducted into a hall of fame is a great honor. It is too bad Toby wasn't around to see it happen in person.
The list of the most popular baby names for 2024 is out. Number 1 for girls is: Olivia, and number 1 for boys is: Noah. How I got my name: When I was born, my parents were having a bit of trouble deciding what to name me. If I was a girl, I would've been Lauren...except I was a boy and they hadn't picked one out for that circumstance. My dad happened to be a…
After waiting for a long time...too long really, I finally took advantage of the beautiful weather today and cut the grass. It was quite long - especially my backyard. It needed it. I thought it was going to take me a lot longer than usual to get done, but thankfully maybe took just an extra 15 minutes. I had no complaints about doing it either since it was about 70 degrees outside around 1:00 this…
This past weekend was a busy one for me...yet fun at the same time. On Saturday, I went with my mom to the drive-in movies. This was the 1st time I think I've been to the drive-in in 25-30 years. The Midway Drive-In in Ravenna had a triple feature of "Nightmare on Elm Street", "Trick or Treat" (2007), and my favorite of the 3..."Scream". Being the first time at the drive-in for so long, it…
Now I know we are just coming up on Halloween, so hear me out. It's never too early to get a jump start on your shopping for the holiday season. When it comes to music - that can be a different story. At the same time...releasing your next Christmas album NOW so fans have it ready to go for December? A smart business decision. That's exactly what Dan + Shay thought when they released their…
