I'm Back...and... A New Casey James Interview, plus more!

OOhhhhh myyyyy Goodness!!  It is sooooo good to be back online!!  My service was out a whopping 13 days!!  I was experiencing some serious withdrawals!!  I missed everybody so much....yall just don't even know!!  But I'm back and ready to post all the latest news and whatever tidbits I can come across about Casey or anything remotely related to Casey!! :)  Although I won't be able to post daily right now, never fear.....it's coming!!  Just wait until we start getting the lowdown on Casey from Nashville!!   Then I won't have enough time to write about all the reviews and articles and such!!  But I certainly will give it my best shot!!  If any of you who read Caseymania  come across anything that looks or sounds post worthy, just drop me an email with the information or links to redbird49tex@gmail.com  I would appreciate any and all help!  That is going to come in handy especially later on when his Tour Schedule is released and new shows are added to it!  Sometimes a person may find a new show that actually won't be on the schedule yet or not posted everywhere yet, but a new one nevertheless!  So anything you see or hear about, that I don't already know, just send me an email about it and I'll really appreciate it!!

As soon as I got online today, it was a pleasure to find a fantastic NEW interview from my friend and fellow blogger, Shari Geller!  She certainly knows how to keep a reader captivated!!  I just couldn't hardly wait to see what was on the next page!!  Thanks so much Shari....love your work!!  If you haven't had the pleasure of reading her Interview with Casey James, part 1.....then by all means.....get to it.....it's awesome!!

"Exclusive Casey James Interview-Part 1" 

Most of you have heard me talk alot about how important air play on the radio is, to a new single and artist, and I stand by that, and there's some really cool radio personalities out there!!  And one of my very favorites, is  Cody Alan~CMT Cody
He is the ACM (American Country Music) 2010 National on air Personality of the year!!  Here's a little bit about him:

Broadcast from CMT Nashville, CMT Radio Live with Cody Alan is all about country music and entertainment! With big star guests from Nashville and Hollywood- plus, live nationwide calls from fans, the daily dirt on entertainment and awesome access to events only CMT can deliver. Hosted by popular broadcast personality Cody Alan, whose dynamic charm and wit shine on air, taking you where no fan has gone before!

I have had the pleasure of speaking with Cody several times on his show!  They just don't get any more 'real' than this guy....and how ironic that he used to be one of the DJ's at one of the Dallas Country Stations!  I reminded him of that when I spoke to him the first time, with his new job and he had nothing but praise for the Major league Station that provided the first step into his awesome career at the tender age of 23!  I remember calling him and requesting songs from him, and always loved his personality! :)  He really deserves that honor, because he IS an awesome on air personality!!  Cody loves doing interviews with his guests (Casey soon!!) on the show, and I'm here to tell you it probably won't be very long at all until we hear that our Casey will be a guest on his show!!  You can 'stream' Cody from just about anywhere, because he is syndicated and goes out to many many radio stations across the country 5 nights a week from 7 till 12 CT.  I stream (listen online) because it's easier to me and I don't have a great stereo.  Check your local Country Station and see if they carry Cody's Show in their 7 till 12 slot and if they don't, just click the link above, then click 'where to listen', then scroll down and find your state and closest large city and click on it and look for 'listen online', or 'listen live' and click on it and before you know it, you're online listening to his show!  If you are out of the states....you should be able to just click on any city you want from the list and access their 'listen online' link.  I will be posting Cody's link and phone number to call him on the sidebar very soon!  Let's all get to know Cody, cause you'll be surprised how personable he is with you when you call him!!  Then we can ask him about our Casey boy!!  Yea!! :)

I believe I'll go cook some supper.....but I'll be back later with some more information for the future......and in the meantime.......lets look back at Casey on tour this summer in Houston!  Many thanks to Carman Wesson for her beautiful shot!


 More later........

I was going to post some more things but I decided to save them for tomorrow's post!  I'll leave you with this Awe inspiring video of what started this whole Casey thing to begin with......great memories.......

This is where it started for alot of us.....

  5. Thank you everybody!! Yall just don't know how much I missed doing this!! It's like.....I HAVE to do it now....omg!!! I'll keep filling yall in on things we can do to help Casey once we get that first single out!! Since Cody Alan is a syndicated show those of us who can commit need to listen to Cody at night, as much as you can and call call call him and try to get through to request Casey's song, because.....when you get through and talk to Cody you can tell him what Casey means to you and how his music affects you or whatever you want to talk about with him, he's real personable....he'll say.....so....what are doing tonight? ha ha...thats always a good conversation starter!! :) Then when Cody plays Casey's new single it goes out to every station that carries his show in the U.S.!! And that is alot of spins at one time!! Which is great!! Because it's all about the 'spins'!! How many times it gets played on the radio helps it climb the charts (all the way to #1) And whats fun is when you request his song a bunch more of us will be listening and we'll hear you request the song, so we can all get up and do the "Happy Casey Dance" when we hear one of 'our girls' get through!! And we can have twitter up and be talking on there too while getting through to Cody! It's a blast really it is!!! And we're helping Casey the whole time we're doing it! That is time consuming though. Most people can stream an hour or two, but whatever you can do is great....just keep listening and calling! You'll get used to the busy signal, it's almost like on Idol again, except busy! But not always, sometimes you get right through! Anyway, thanks yall, I love ya and I'm glad to be back!!!!! :-D

  6. Oh yea....Linda!! I almost forgot to tell you....of course everybody knows I love my Bucky too, and I'm going to get to see him November 6th, just outside of Dallas!! I'm so excited!! My friends have been telling him about me being down sick with that vertigo, so he knew why I wasn't coming to see him! My friend gave him a message for me the other day when she seen him and immediately he said..."Yea...I been hearing about that, is she ok?" That just made my day when she told me that! They said he'd been wondering where I'd been, and if I was alright yet. I'm usually seeing him every month or two, so he knew it was something serious for me to not be coming out to see him! Anyway, I'm pretty excited about getting to see him again! I saw him briefly at the CMA fest in June but the last time I got to hang out with him was in February, so yea....I miss seeing my boy! It'll be good to give him a hug again and just visit with him.

  9. I think it's great that you're establishing relationships with radio personalities!! Casey really doesn't need a PR person -- he has several! And they're good ones! You and Shari are both amazing!

    PS ... Am new to Bucky and doing a little catch up. I adore his song, "A Father's Love." It has such a powerful and healing message for so many!

  11. Glenda, thanks for posting that video of where it all started. I'd love to hear him sing that entire song. That is definitely when he got my full attention. It made me cry to watch & think of all that has happened since then!
    BTW, welcome back! We missed you. :)

  13. You were missed. I don't even know you, but I felt like one my friends went on vacation and didn't send me a post card. But then I probably would not send her one. Not only is your computer up to speed but so are you. Hope we can meet some day. Maybe in Nashville. Keep up the good work. Thanks for the memories. jwtexaslady

  15. @Linda....yes, I totally intend to do that! I've already talked with him about Casey early on in the AI competition when I seen Bucky in February! He said he knew who he was and that he was GOOD!!! And I told him I'd be supporting him during the competition and he wished him well, and said he would go far!! So yes, I will be suggesting that if he can do anything to get Casey onstage with him, there's a bunch of us that would totally love that!!!! Bucky is in LaPlace La. on Friday the 15th at the "Cadillac Country Rockin' Saloon". Just thought I'd let you know in case you could make it.
