Few things are worth getting 4 hours of sleep for, the first day of deer season, tailgating for Football, and seeing a Grammy winning artist perform in person. Seeing Jewel in person was nothing less then awesome here at the station. Small gathering, acoustic set, and great stories. To see a artist in there element is a treat, why it took song long to get here back on radio, and her best format (country) is a travesty. I tried to tell Leah the experience and retell some of the stories Jewel told but I couldn't do them justice.  So check out the pod cast!

This week starts a new way for you to "Double" your winnings on KCQ, keep listening for details. Hint: It'll be the cleanest contest ever.

Here's some of the new tunes you'll hear during the overnight:

Eric Church - His Kind Of Money (My Kind Of Love)

Julianne Hough - That Song In My Head

Gary Allen - Learning How To Bend

Rodney Atkins - Invisibly Shaken

Since it's warming up, get some friends around the bonfire and crank up the KCQ!

What a fantastic weekend! The warmth, the sun! What did I do...slept. Well some. Leah and I got out Sunday to do some much needed yard work. And our dog Scooter was no help. Barked at us because we were working and he wanted to play fetch. Then we'd throw the stick but not bring it back. We continue to work, more barking, this time with digging. The dog loves to dig. He dug at least 4 holes in our yard by the time Leah punished him by putting him inside. I did, though, get to use my cool new toys I got for Christmas. My new leaf blower/vac/mulcher and hedge trimmers. With two big maples in our yard and 2 pick-ups from the leaf truck in the fall, still left lots 'o leaves blown to the back yard. 4 hours and 6 mulched leave bags later, leaves gone and hedges trimmed. Now to reseed the lawn. My work is never done.

Enough yard work, here's just a sample of the new tunes this week during the overnight that you'll hear first! (that I remember)

Crossin Dixon - Guitar Slinger

Jo Dee Messina - I'm Done

Carrie Underwood - Last Name

Gary Allen - Learning How To Bend

Tim McGraw - Kristofferson

Lost Trailers - Holler Back

Stay up late with your (insert favorite energy drink here) and until next time...Good MORNING NOW  

Yes, Yes there is and with good reason. You get to hear the latest tunes from groups you may not have heard of. Like oh, Lady A and Ashton Shepard. Here's just a few of the first looks you got this week

    Jewel - Stronger Woman (yes, that Jewel)

    Jypsi - I Don't Love You Like That

    Sara Evans - Some Things Never Change

    Rissi Palmer - Hold On To Me

  I'm not sure why it's all chicks, hafta yell at John for that, well Jypsi has a dude.

Anywho, overnights you'll hear the newest before anyone else. And if you like 'em shot me or John and e-mail so they'll get played more often. Or since your here, leave it in the comments.

And you'll get the latest school closings with KCQ Operation White Out since that's been running just about every other day.

So, drink your coffee's, red bull's and stay up late!

GOOD MORNING NOW!
