As seen on television usually does not do much for me, that is until Tuesday’s CMA Awards 42nd Annual Show. WOW = Wonders Over Whining: There are leaders in this country who have decided their love their calling and this country are worth the effort to raise the bar. They are staying the course rather than basking in past glory.

My list of super stars includes but is not limited to: Reba McEntire, Alan Jackson, Vince Gill, George Strait, Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, Martina McBride, Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Rascal Flatts, Brooks and Dunn, Little Big Town, Keith Urban. Thanks, folks!

I am glad to be on the band wagon with you, CMA and CBS!
