Re: Chelsea Beck!

I just received a call this evening from Chelsea Beck. She just got a call from the SHOT GUN RED PEOPLE and she has been chosen one of the 48 acts to perform on his talent shows and will go to the filming sometime in October.

Wow, this is just so good. She is super excited and so am I. This show will be seen over RFD-TV by millions of people.

This is good news. Love y'all, Janet McBride

[Editor's note: you can see a larger copy of this picture, and read all of Janet's words on this incident, on our Chelsea Beck page. Just go to the list at the upper right hand corner, and click "Chelsea and Shotgun Red."]

Re: mid-July doin's!

We went to great grandson's hockey game this morning, then went to grand daughters home and gave her her new guitar that we got her and she was thrilled. We told her years ago that we'd purchase a 'better' guitar if she learned some chords on the little one we got her. Well, she has made a good effort on the little guitar and we bought her a 'full size' guitar. A promise is a promise.

Her sister now has the other one and if she learns to play it 'even just a little' we'll do the same for her.

I'm gathering stuff for a display at the Burton's Bend Music Festival where they will be honoring me. I've pulled out some of my 'opry' clothes and the 5 LP's plus some 45rpm recordings and photo's so that we'll be 'showing off' a little' and you know I don't usually do any such thing but they are insisting.

Tomorrow Buckaroo's. A man/fan from Maryland is meeting us for lunch at the Stockyards tomorrow. He has traveled to AZ, Tucson, Albuquerque to see me before and I wasn't there each time so he will come to the Stockyards tomorrow.

A woman called me while in ARK and asked how she could obtain some lessons for her 7 year old and she will be at Buckaroo's tomorrow also. She lives in Oklahoma and heard about me from another kid I have worked with. She is in Dallas this weekend so I told her to call and I'd work out something. Well, she said she can come to F.W. tomorrow so, I'll have a busy day with a fan, The Buckaroo's and a new 'mentoring kid' to work with. YIPPPEEEEEEEEEE.
