The first of November also brings a bit of fun at your local bookstore. Mary passed along this inspiring update: "Bucky has a story in the new Chicken Soup for the American Idol Soul book that comes out on Thursday, November 1st." Sounds pretty heartwarming--if you're among the first to read this one, feel free to share your book report with us...
And the very kind Ogopogo posted some fascinating news in the Bucky Covington fan thread at AmericanIdol.com--was Bucky Covington, the CD, submitted "For Your Grammy Consideration" this year? According to an insider post at the Pulse Music Boards--by a poster appropriately screennamed Insider--it sure looks that way. Very intriguing indeed--stay tuned!

Finally, a reminder about those late night/early morning requests--depending on when you're reading this, Danny Wright All Night and After Midnite might be in progress where you are, and a phone call or email for "It's Good to Be Us" would be a perfect way to start off your Wednesday. (Yes, I am a bit of an nag, but seeing Bucky stroll out on the CMA Awards stage November 7th as an artist with a current Top 30 single would be seriously sweet...)
We're a bit early for the morning charts, but we'll fill in the blanks as soon as our wobbly internet access allows. Here are the links to the Mediabase weighted and Top 500 listings. Hope there's some good news to go with our morning coffee!
And a little bonus--a shot from Bucky's performance in Katy is the current "Favorite Photo of the Week" at GrandpasDotCom.
More very soon--see you in a few hours, technology permitting!
Looks like he's in the new artist catergory also! woo hoo! (at that Pulse link. Hmmmmmm...)
ReplyDelete#32, top 500; #32, weighted on MB!
