Power Picks, ACM's

And starting all that off, an update on the Ron/Don history thanks to kgator/kerri:

Don & Ron Harris, Mark Miller, & Hobie Hubbard all lived in the same town in Florida and went to high school together. Through all the years they have stayed friends and after Ron retired from wrestling, he went to work for Mark & Mark's BeachStreet Record Company and helped with Sawyer Brown and some of the Christian groups like Casting Crowns. Then Ron got Bucky started, helping him on the GAC Christmas tour. Meanwhile Don continued to wrestle for a while, then retired from the ring and worked in the Production side of wrestling. When Bucky started touring full time, Don left TNA Wrestling and became the road manager while Ron usually stays in Nashville running O Seven Artist Management.

Thanks Kerri for filling us in, I am still in awe of the very idea - sure wish I would have had a chance to catch them in the ring, but they are doing amazing work in the music industry and I am happy to have had the chance to meet Don on a few occasionions at shows, hopefully will add Ron to that at some point.

Big (huge) things start tomorrow for us - the ACM awards http://www.acmcountry.com/content/index.php nominees will be announced on The Early Show and if fan opinion counts for anything both Bucky and Jason Michael Carroll should be shoe ins for Best New Male Artist nominations.


Tomorrow also brings the first of this weeks Power Picks http://www.cmt.com/shows/dyn/cmt_power_picks/series.jhtml battles. Be ready online at 12 ET and get those clicking fingers ready, It's Good To Be Us is up for this match.

(Someday I will learn to put URLs in that look nice, honest!)

Please keep up those requests, we can and WILL get Bucky up that chart. Recruit friends to help with the requests as well, plus live streaming and online votes. We can do this!
