<span style="font-size: large; text-align: left;">Hey yall! Wow, it has been a long time since I was last here, but I'm back and we are gonna try this again. I've been going through some personal issues, but I'm in a better place now, and things are happening in Casey's world again. His 1st single off the sophmore album has been released a month or so ago and they just now finished working on the video last night. It'll still be a couple weeks to a month before it's released to </span><a href="http://www.cmt.com/" style="font-size: x-large; text-align: left;">CMT</a><span style="font-size: large; text-align: left;"> and </span><a href="http://www.gactv.com/" style="font-size: x-large; text-align: left;">GAC</a><span style="font-size: large; text-align: left;">. I hope we get a 'behind the scenes' look at how it all happened. I just love those videos, there's usually quite a bit of funny stuff...my favorite!</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<span style="font-size: large;">So, I finally got to go to a Casey show after a year!! He was only 2 hours from me and I had to make it to this one. But, when I learned it was for the military and their family and friends, I was excited for them, but my heart sank... and I just knew I couldn't go. Then I remembered, my neice, Shannon lives right in Killeen, just a couple miles from Fort Hood, where the show was happening, and her hubby is in the military!! I couldn't wait to ask her to please go & let me go with her!! Much to my surprise, their family was already going!! So me and my buddy Suzette, jumped right in with them and headed to the Stadium where the show was happening. Casey was opening for Trace Atkins! So we get there pretty early and the gates were opening at 5. We saw a line of people and I thought.....omg....we will never get to the front of that stage....that HUGE stage....so far away!! So we were looking around and somebody found a shorter line going in on the side, so we all took off and I had already told the young ones, "Run, just as fast as you can and save the old lady, me, a spot!" So they did and so were other people and I trotted along behind them, being careful not to step in any potholes and land on my face! Finally I get up there and low and behold, them kids had made it to the front center of the stage!! I couldn't believe our luck! So the rest of the family was busy laying down blankets a few feet behind us and in just a little bit we saw some man come to the stage and welcome us, and he introduced some people and then it was time to introduce Casey!! <br />So I had texted Debra to see if she was there, and within 2 minutes she was right up there hugging and meeting new fans & cheering her baby boy on with all of us!! :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Nice crowd in Fort Hood! Casey is just so entertaining! He is so not the same artist we all came to love from American Idol! He is SO much better now! So where is Ellen now?? I bet she can't say "I want to see you entertain more"... because he is such a great entertainer now!! I told Debra at the show that it's his </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">"Casey</span><span style="font-size: large;">-isms" that makes him so good!! He is so unique in a fabulous way! :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">First 3 songs and some Casey banter!<br /> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Wow! I love it when I can get a 3 song video to upload without waiting 8 hours! Thank you wi-fi!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Heres Debra and I just before the show started. Never mind my big mouth open, I have no idea what I was doing... lol. But Debra looks lovely as always! It was great to get to hang out with her, she is always fun!</span><img alt="" class="fbPhotoImage img" height="640" id="fbPhotoImage" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xfa1/v/t1.0-9/s720x720/10407158_840671105953406_3154366297563596789_n.jpg?oh=c1500c3334d65a511aa1fbc4ee36ac87&oe=54D20ADB&__gda__=1427320073_a8ef0589562acb06ca44f5bd1c3b8f95" width="356" /><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">As a lot of you already know, Casey went to the studio to join the very talented classic group, The Doobie Brothers! They have composed an album of their biggest hits and a handful of country artists came on board to help them recreate those hits. Casey got to be one of the artists they chose. He recorded a song with them that most everyone has heard at one time or another. He was hoping it would be this song and it was!! Check out Casey singing "Jesus is just alright" on the newly released album, "Southbound" Click <a href="http://smarturl.it/southbound">HERE</a> to get yours!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Here is a picture of them in the studio.</span><img alt="Photo: #CaseyJames working in studio with #TheDoobieBrothers on the track #JesusIsJustAlright for there album #SouthBound !!" src="https://scontent-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpa1/v/t1.0-9/p526x296/1922061_833351130018737_3409541225846053883_n.jpg?oh=ea82065dfc94378257d969360950aa92&oe=551852BE" /><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Here is one of the promo shots for the new single, "Fall Apart"</span><img src="https://fbexternal-a.akamaihd.net/safe_image.php?d=AQCPNQM42sgt9jeu&w=484&h=253&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.caseyjamesofficial.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2014%2F10%2FCJ_WEBSITE_HEROIMAGES_ONE_V2.png&cfs=1&sx=0&sy=24&sw=1411&sh=738" /><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">So make sure when you get a chance, get yourself over to <a href="http://www.itunes.com/caseyjames">iTunes</a> or <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=music+downloads+Casey+James&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Amusic+downloads+Casey+James">Amazon</a> and get your copy!! If you can afford to do so, buy extra copies and give them as gifts to friends and family. That is a great way to support Casey!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Ok yall, I'm still trying to remember how to do everything around here on this blog, so I'll be back soon. There was a show in MN last night, so maybe I'll get some pics of that and post a little about a whole group of Casey fans!<br /><br />Until then...</span></div>

Hey ya'll....how's everyone doing? I know, it's been a while since I announced we were coming back, and I apologize for the long wait, but there just hasn't been a whole lot to write about. With Casey working diligently on Album #2 in Nashville, and no tour schedule....well, it's been a bit of a Casey James dry spell. But I think there are a lot of fans more than ready to rock out to some Casey live shows!! Am I right?? We recently got word, he's still working on the album and about 1/2 done. He and Sony Nashville are gearing up to release a *NEW SINGLE* in about 6 weeks!!! That is so exciting to hear!! We've all had a long, very looong winter and are ready for some much needed spring fun!! So get your phones charged up and ready to call your local country radio station and request that new single when it drops in a few weeks!! <br />
We don't know yet which song it will be, (because we don't know what songs will make the cut for the album) but I'm sure many of us are hoping for "A Womans Touch" to be the 1st one!! If you are a new fan to Casey James, here is a video of this beautifully written, sultry & sexy song!! Every woman will fall in love with this gem!! If you don't get chills, you're not feeling it! :-) Check it out here....<br />

Today was a good day! We got notice that 4 new videos were put on #CountryNowTV on #YouTube! Before each song, Casey talked a little about how the song came about and then sang it, just him and his guitar. Great big thanks to @CountryNowTV on twitter for posting these awesome videos for us! We are so hungry for any Casey news, this was perfect!<br />
Enjoy.....<br />

Ahhhhh..... I'm here to tell you right now.....nobody sings a love song like Casey James!! Nobody!! He has this uncanny ability to bring you right into the music and lyrics with him...and make you think he's singing just for you. That is an artist my friends....an artist with God given talent. He was born to do this.... and I for one am so glad God chose him.<br />
<br />
<br />
Ok, back to earth.... Now, I have shared this on the Facebook page for <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/CASEYMANIA/282463298440859?ref=hl">**CASEYMANIA**</a><br />
but not here on the blog. There is a new show coming up February 27th in Albuquerque, N.M. at the Isleta Casino. You can purchase tickets at the <a href="http://www.boxofficecenter.com/ResultsGeneral.aspx?stype=0&kwds=Isleta%20Amphitheater">Isleta Casino Boxoffice</a>!! (At the time of this post, the show is not listed yet, so check back.) He will be opening for the amazing Joe Nichols!! The number to call about tickets is 1-877-475-3827<br />
<br />
Well, I can't get the picture to post here so I'll just leave it alone. Anyway, I'm going to the Albuquerque show with a friend. It's been since October since I've seen him, so it'll be good to catch his 'live' show again and get me one of those awesome hugs! If anyone else is going to that show, would you let me know?? You can post a comment or tell me on FB Caseymania, or even on my personal FB page.<br />
<br />
Well, it's late, so I gotta run, take care yall!! :)<br />
<br />

Hello everyone...I just wanted to tell all of you I'm sorry...I should've came back and told you all something, anything about why I couldn't post any more at that time, but I didn't. And I apologize if I was negligent. But things in my life turned upside down and I just couldn't write, then I lost my Internet which put a halt to everything. <br />
So with a brighter outlook on things and my need to write returning, **Caseymania** will be coming back sometime in the near future! I have missed you all so much! And I'm still only able to write right now, I can't post videos or anything. So be looking for @caseymaniablog on twitter and FB for new information about the comeback!<br />
<br />
With much love & hugs<br />
<br />

It's that time of year again, almost CMA fest time! All the fun starts on June 6th and goes thru the 9th in Downtown Nashville! I thought I saw where Casey and Bucky were going to be playing but that was last year.....sorry if I confused anyone.....my bad!! <br />There are some major major changes to the fan fair hall where the fans will get autographs! There is so much more and the place is so much bigger! If you don't have a 4 day pass, you can get a 4 day Fan Fair Pass at the new AT&T U verse for only $25. Or a 1 day pass for $10. Here is the link to check all of this out! Click <a href="http://cmaworld.com/cma-music-festival/2013/activities/at-t-u-verse-fan-fair-x">HERE</a>.<br />
<br />
Here is a picture of the new place!! Beautiful huh?? I can't wait to see the inside!!! It seems like it's going to be a lot easier to see the artist of your choice, because only 10% of them are ticketed. So most of them you just get in the line for whoever you want to see. Or thats how I understood it, anyway. You can read all about it at the link above.<br />

Casey has a new show coming up later this year, on October 7th in Lancaster, Ohio, at the Fairfield County Fair. So if you live in the area, or feel like a roadtrip, then let Casey and the band entertain you! He's there with the Henningsens as well, the new family group with some mad harmony skills! Sounds like a great show, so yall don't miss it!!!<br />
<br />
I wanted to apologize for not mentioning that Blaine Crews also was married the same weekend as<br />
B.C. and Pattie. He married his long time love Hannah Ray Linn, a TV news anchor woman from Harlingen, Texas. The couple were married April 14th in Harlingen with family and friends. After the wedding festivities they couple hopped aboard a Cruise ship for a tropical honeymoon cruise! I wish them forever wedded bliss and may God bless their lives as they begin their journey as husband & wife. :)<br />

<span style="text-align: left;">And since this is a blog about Casey James, it would be nice to have a picture of him! Can somebody tell me who this belongs to?? I found it on twitter, but forgot to track down the owner. And he looks a bit tired, as if he's telling the picture taker...."Enough".... does anyone else see that??</span><br />

I also wanted to say, that I pray for peace and comfort for the family, friends and fans of George (Possum) Jones, as he passed away early yesterday morning. Country music has lost a true legend. May he rest in peace, forever more. <br />

<br />
Ok, yall, I'll be back soon. Maybe I'll do shorter posts.... it's not nearly as time consuming.<br />

Lots going on with Casey James, & family.<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Hey yall....I'm sorry I haven't been on here in a while. It just seemed like everything was snowballing down on me and I couldn't catch a break. Well, I'm climbing out of the rubble and am doing better. I am not going to have a lot of time in the future, like I've had in the past, because I'm starting an old business back up again and I'm gonna be busy. That's mostly what I've been doing these last few weeks after coming back from the ACM Fan Jam in Vegas. It was a real good time, as always, but Casey wasn't there.... :-( Oh well....it is.....what it is. We had a great time, but I got only a few pics on Cyndee's camera, and now I can't find the memory card....so....no pics from me. My camera on my phone went out just days before the show....that's par for the course....just my dumb luck, I guess.<br />
Anyway, my hubby and I are bringing our Ice Cream Truck (yea, the kind with music) 'Big Daddy' back to life and we are gonna start the business back up after 10 years! He's just about at retirement age, so he's gonna retire and we are gonna do the ice cream business together, for a while, then I'll probably kick him out, cuz as much as I love that man....he can get on my last nerve! Haha!! So we don't wanna spend too much time together! :)<br />
I'll let yall know how it goes, we are pretty excited, and it's a lot of fun and good $$$ to be made when ya know what your doing and I got quite bit of experience. It's just one more place I can spread the Casey love!! :)<br />
<br />
Ok, I'm gonna start by saying....Casey James WOW'ED EVERYONE on American Idol and at home watching!! He did so very good debuting 'The Good Life'! Everyone loved it, and they all loved him! He brought each one of the contestants on the show a special gift from their home town! They were all very thankful to him for that! And he did it cuz he knows how homesick he was, on the show. He's such a sweetheart....<br />
<br />
So, in case you missed it....here is Casey and the band's performance on American Idol on April 4th!!<br />

Yes, you read that right!!! Casey James has finally been invited back the AI to perform!! And.... he's debuting his new single on the show!! It will be aired on next Thursday's results show on 4/4/13 on Fox. Check your local listings for the time. We have waited for this, what seems like forever and a day!! And finally it is here, after 3 long years!! Casey is so excited as well!! He tweeted this comment late last night...(actually early this a.m. :))<br />

Im WAY excited to play my new single on <a class="twitter-atreply pretty-link" dir="ltr" href="https://twitter.com/AmericanIdol"><s>@</s><b>AmericanIdol</b></a> next week! So many blessings to get to this point. A little work too. :) <a class="twitter-hashtag pretty-link js-nav" data-query-source="hashtag_click" dir="ltr" href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23TheGoodLife&src=hash"><s>#</s><b>TheGoodLife</b></a></div>

<br />
That is so sweet!! A little work?? Ummm, I beg to differ.... I believe that would be a lot of hard work too, even though you don't count playing music 'working'!! :D<br />
We know of a lot of sleepless nights he's had over the last 3 years to get to where he is now. And he deserves this recognition so much, and he's ready....I do believe he is. My prediction is the judges are gonna go ga-ga over him!! Especially Randy Jackson....who was not always in Casey's corner, but was more than the others. I'm really looking forward to Randy's reaction to Casey now....3 years later. It's gonna be epic!!!!<br />
<br />
I'm gonna be in Vegas when Casey appears on AI, and me, Cyndee & Kate (daughter) will be watching him!! I cannot wait!! We were gonna do something else that night, but none of us are willing to miss Casey on AI !!! No way!! We've all waited too long for this!! So I hope everyone gets to see him on that A I stage, it's gonna be an amazing moment for him and the band members as well! They are all excited!!<br />
<br />
The other day these very nice pictures poped up on Facebook and they are just amazing!!! Thanks to <span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><i>stillsbyBJ<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></i><span style="font-family: inherit;">for all these nice shots!!</span></span><br />

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Yep, you read that right!! Casey James is selling out tour stops all over and California is just the latest state to be added to that list!! I couldn't be happier that this happened to him and the band!! They are all a bit surprised that it happened there, I think!! Here is what Dino and Blaine said....<br />
<br />
<br />
DINO said - Dino Villanueva @Dinobassman<br />
Third straight @caseyjames sell out! Someone pinch me!<br />
<br />
Blaine said - Blaine Crews @blainecrews<br />
I always dreamed of playing sold out shows nation wide. I can't believe <br />
it's actually starting to happen. It's incredible to see@caseyjames<br />
<br />
another from Blaine - Amazing night in San Bernadino, CA!! Where are all these fans coming from??<br />
<br />
and one more from Blaine - Grateful to play music for a living. Great to play with such killer players and guys... @DavidKurrasch @Dinobassman @caseyjames @Jbarbeemusic <br />
<br />
These guys are so happy to be doing what they LOVE and make a living doing it! It's amazing!!<br />
<br />
Since all the Cali shows were a sellout, how about we do something different here!? You've heard me say time and time again how awesome and talented Casey and the guys are.... well, here are a few tweets from some of the fans of those sold out shows!! And notice how many are GUYS!! We have all hoped that Casey would be able to gain 'guy fans' as his career progressed, and I think it's happening now!! From the cool guy at Temple who held up the sign asking Casey to sing "So Sweet", to these latest shows, Casey is picking up more and more guy fans at every stop! It was said that Casey, during one of the VIP's said to the guys, after taking a head count, that it was the biggest showing of guys yet, and that he knew why they were there, their girlfriends made them come! After they all laughed, he then shook hands with all of them, and said "I get why your here!" Their girlfriends might have drug them there, but they were leaving as Casey James fans! <br />
Here are just a few of the comments the GUYS had to say after the show!!<br />

Well, looks like March is coming in like a lion (in Texas anyway....) and I'm hoping it goes out like a lamb....cuz you know what?? I'M SO TIRED OF THIS WIND!! I know we have to have the wind to spread the seeds that will eventually become May flowers and what not.....but I'm already sick of it! :) Can't have a good hair day....that is completely out of the question. So my hair always looks horrible in March....just so yall know! :/ lol.... Ok....I feel better. :) But I have nothing to complain about when a lot of the country still looks like this.....<br />

Although that looks pretty good....but having to drive in it and shovel it every day....that has to get old. But snow is still beautiful and I envy those who get it every year. And I feel bad for them at the same time, when it gets real bad. Hopefully they've seen the last of the snow storms (who are being named now) and can get on board with me, getting their hair blown to smitherines!! Haha!<br />
<br />
I have a few articles and write ups I want to share before getting to the pics & videos. I am pretty sure I forgot to post these.... sorry... :-/ They are very interesting and good writing! And I always love reading what other people think of Casey!! :)<br />

Just a little lyric humor there.... :) So big Congrats going out to Casey for this huge accomplishment!!! I know his momma, Debra and brother, BC are about over the moon with excitement!!

Recap from Temple, Tx. show and more....<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;">New Update Below....</span></span><br />
<br />
How's everybody doing?! I took a bit of time off, to regroup, and I have the recap from <br />
Saturday's show in Temple, Tx.! It was a great show, and many old fans and new fans were there cheering Casey on!! There is a new addition to the Casey James band, and his name is Justin Barbee. He's playing Keyboards for Casey now, since Justin Pate left recently. I didn't get to talk with him, but I'm sure I will in the future!<br />
The evening started off with a fan dinner, except the place we were gonna meet everyone was packed and we were running just a few minutes late. So a few of us ended up going to Taco Cabana to eat, because we didn't have a lot of time until it was time for the VIP. And we couldn't miss that! So we ran on over there and got there in plenty of time. So after we're all paid with armbands on, we were led over to where the VIP was gonna take place. We all sat down and Casey came out pretty quickly. He started talking right away about the new Amp Box he had gotten with his name on it, it was very nice. And then he began talking about the case, the Acoustic guitar he plays all the time, the McPherson, is cradled in when not in use, or on a stand. He said it was horrible, and so heavy!! So in conversations with the McPherson people, Casey said he wanted a new case, and to one day get a couple other guitars he likes of theirs.....they are all being shipped to him as we speak..... if he hasn't already gotten them. Wow....those McPherson people are really good to Casey!! I like that!!<br />
Then....Casey told us there was BIG NEWS breaking on the 27th of this month....that would be Wednesday, this week!!! A few of us tried to talk him into just a little hint as to what it was, and others were trying to 'guess' what it was....and he held the guitar up and said...."No....stop guessing, I don't have a good poker face"!!! Haha!!! So we all stopped, and he said its only 4 days!! So now....what do yall think the BIG news is??? If I had to guess, and I do.....I'd say they are gearing up to release "Drive" as the 3rd single from his self titled debut album!! What do yall think?? Its perfect timing, because if it's released in early March, it should be screaming down the charts by mid-summer.....and it IS a summer song!!! So....thats my guess.....what do yall think??<br />
I asked him if he was gonna be at the ACM's this year....and he said he didn't know......then quickly said...."I hate doing those Awards shows!!" Then he laughed.....but I think he's just uncomfortable doing the red carpet thing. I could be wrong, but thats the vibe I get from him.<br />
<br />
After we were finished there, we all just visited until time for the opening band. And they were very good....but their name slips my mind. :-/ So what's new?! Right?!?!<br />
I'm writing and listening to BB King's Bluesville on Serius. I've learned that is a comfortable surround sound when I'm writing.....All I need is a glass of wine.....wait.....I'm out....oh well....not tonight. Just heard "Too many Drivers at the Wheel" by Tab Benoit. I love that song!!<br />
<br />
Ok, fast forward and Casey is introduced and he grabs one of his guitars and asked the question in the mic..... "How yall doin'?" And the people let him know quick how they were doing!! It was a live wire crowd....they were loud and happy to be there!!!<br />
<br />

<br />
BREAKING NEWS.....THIS JUST IN......AS PER AIRCHECK WEEKLY.....we CAN expect a NEW SINGLE from Casey James on April 1st!!!! I'm pretty sure that was the BIG NEWS, but we still don't know which song it will be.....fingers crossed for "DRIVE!!!!"<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Now, back to the show that's starting in front of me!! He started out as usual with one of my favorite songs.... "The Good Life".....then things just get blurry and run together. Never can remember the order in which they were sang. I know he sang "Lets Don't Call It A Night" and "Crying on a Suitcase", "So High", "Drive", "Breaking thru the Blue", Run Away, A Woman's Touch, and one by special request, which we know by now, Casey rarely does requests. Let me tell you a sweet little story.....<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGdsstOtsSGDEgFBKwzWmijXjTIyLza_fpiwOZCVh2UXx-Lp9RtuXWXsNVwio-N_ry9beJHqccnL6xynGhyphenhyphen2GpNFoipeFXuMK48Dt_iaXmOVzsoItc3_p9q2tzNgCEuMNGAHwLka41I3E/s1600/IMAG0622.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGdsstOtsSGDEgFBKwzWmijXjTIyLza_fpiwOZCVh2UXx-Lp9RtuXWXsNVwio-N_ry9beJHqccnL6xynGhyphenhyphen2GpNFoipeFXuMK48Dt_iaXmOVzsoItc3_p9q2tzNgCEuMNGAHwLka41I3E/s320/IMAG0622.jpg" width="320" /></a>The man, whose name was Paul Luman, was behind me about 2 rows, and soon enough I noticed he was holding up a sign sometimes. I never could read the sign for a little bit, but then he held it high and I turned around and read it.... "Please play 'So Sweet' for an old Marine", it read.... Well, I thought, 'poor guy, Casey won't do it'.... But to my astonishment, he stopped and read the sign.....then said....give me that....so the guy gave it to him, and Casey held it high, and said...."heres whats going on....I was reading this." He turned the sign around for the crowd to see, then said...."How could I say No to that?" He then laid it nonchalantly to the side and told him he would do it....and it was gonna be fun....with a little chuckle. And I thought the guy was gonna lose it right there, he was so very excited!! So when Casey started singing "So Sweet" the guy was behind me singing every word, and I thought, 'he needs to be where I am'.....so I reached back and grabbed his arm and gently pulled him up in my place and he was beside himself with joy!! I wanted this old Marine to enjoy every bit of the song he loves so much! And he certainly did that! I was so proud for him, I found him after the show, got his name and a picture, and told him what I do then handed him a card. Asking for permission to post his story and picture, and he obliged me and said Yes! I just love stuff like this.....it brought tears to my eyes, and his too!! Casey is really a good guy to waver from his list and do this for this guy....but he wanted to do it for him, I could tell. Thank you Casey for making this guy's night!! And thank you Paul....it was a pleasure to meet you and I thank you for your service! Hope to see you again at a future show!!<br />
Here is the video in full, with Casey talking about the sign....
and saying it was his favorite performance of it just because he(the man) loved the song so much.....omg....tears were wellin' up! :-)<br />

Too much info to share to put it all in the title this time....so I'm just calling this post, 'Random news'. I haven't been around as much as I would like, but I'm gonna try to start something different that will work for me, so I can get out all the most important news for yall. <br />
We are gonna start with the voting that all the fans do from different sites for Casey! He has some of the most dedicated and loyal fans in the industry. Fans that have stood by his side since the beginning on American Idol.....and new fans who are just discovering his amazing talents....and all those in between!! He loves every one of us! And appreciates everything we do to keep his name out there in the social media and beyond! It's not always easy, I'm the first one to admit that....but once you are mesmerized by the Casey James magic....you want to do anything you can to help him. <br />
So I will just put a list of the most important voting sites that we need to help out with as much as possible. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.cmt.com/show/hot_20_countdown/voting.jhtml">CMT Hot 20 Countdown - NEW!</a><br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.cmt.com/show/cmt_pure_12_pack_countdown/voting.jhtml">CMT Pure 12-Pack</a><br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.gactv.com/gac/pac_ctnt/text/0,,GAC_26058_47219,0.html">GAC Top 20 Countdown</a><br />
<br />
<a href="http://tasteofcountry.com/top-10-video-voting-february-4/">Taste of Country Top 10 Video Countdown</a><br />
<br />
Another thing that we have to remember to do it use the Mediabase requesting links! I have a list on <a href="http://caseymania.blogspot.com/p/support.html">HERE</a> or <a href="http://www.lovin-lyrics.com/2012/09/mediabase-request-forms-for-fan-use.html?spref=fb">Lovin' Lyrics Music Promotions</a> has a nice list as well. Click the link to either one you would like to use, they both work great. Big thanks to those guys for all the Casey promotion they do!<br />
<br />
And speaking of the <i><b>*</b></i><b><i>NEW*</i></b> CMT HOT 20.... Casey was on hand to introduce his single "Crying on a Suitcase" as part of the Countdown in the new show!! Here is a homemade video of his appearance!!<br />
<i><br /></i><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><i>Thanks to Donna C. for her video. :)</i></span></div>

<br />
Here's a photo from the CMT Hot 20 show! Very nice color and Casey looks awesome as always! :) I've forgotten the girls name, but the guy is CMT Cody who is a syndicated Radio host in Nashville. But I remember Cody many years ago when he was a DJ at one of the Dallas stations....either KSCS or KPLX. ;)<br />

The 48th annual ACM Awards Nominations will be announced today!! I got my fingers crossed for a nomination for Casey!! This is the BIG show that I always anticipate coming, because I love it and I always go to the Fan Jam, which is broadcast simultaneously from a different location than the Awards show, but the two are tied together and both get airtime!! Blake Shelton and Luke Bryan are hosting the Awards show while Brad Paisley will host the Fan Jam!! It's just a huge amount of fun and it would be great to see more Casey fans out there. He was there in 2011, but not last year....so....I'm so hoping he is going to be there playing at one or the other of all the events taking place!! I'm all booked and ready to go, whether Casey is there, or not.... :( But I'm hoping he will be there this year!!! For more information about the ACM's and the Fan Jam, click <a href="http://www.acmcountry.com/">HERE</a>!<br />

Casey was a guest on the <i><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><a href="http://youtu.be/_zi8dW--iv4">Bob Kingsley's CT 40 </a> </span></i><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">a couple weeks ago and I think there was suppose to be a longer interview, but all I can find right now is this small clip just before Casey started playing <span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><i>"Polk Salad Annie"<span style="font-family: inherit;">. </span></i><span style="font-family: inherit;">And this photo of him and Bob. Click the link above to hear it!</span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you haven't been fortunate enough to get yourself to a Live show from Casey James and his awesome band....then click the <a href="http://caseymania.blogspot.com/p/upcoming-concerts.html#.URdgS6oRsZo.facebook">Upcoming Concerts</a> tab here or at the top of the page and see if you can get to a show near you!!! I also have the concerts listed on the left sidebar of this page as well. I will try to keep them updated as much as I can.<br /><br />Wow, here are some nice pictures from the <a href="http://www.wsix.com/cc-common/gallery/photos.html?album_id=343302#/51/20331380#ixzz2KbvkgNH0">Exit/In Nashville </a>, from 2/7/13. Radio station WSIX posted these on their website....Thanks!!<br /><br />Casey was in Studio with Big D and Bubba and here's what happened..... Click <a href="http://www.bigdandbubba.com/pages/archive.html?feed=447152&article=10799978">HERE</a>. Awesome videos!! (love those guys...)<br /><br />And wouldn't you just know, Cyndee has thought of exactly what I should have thought of....writing down the words to one of the new songs and taking it with you to a show, getting not only him to read over it and correct the wrong words the fans came up with, but also one of the writers of the song, Jayce Hein!! But the fans did very well, as there were very few mistakes on this song.... "A Womans Touch". Thanks Cyndee for thinking of this, maybe a few of us will use that in the future!! :) Oh, and both of them signed it!! :)</span></div>

But he said he would be back doing gigs with Casey as he could. So it sounds like he'll be back....for good some day...? I sure hope so, he is an excellent Keyboardist!! He is also an awesome backup singer!! And just a good guy! I've talked with him a couple times and he's always so sweet! Good luck to him and hoping that he makes his way back to Casey very soon!! We love you Justin!!! Safe travels!!</span></div>

Below, you will find a note sent to me by Debra James, Casey's mother. She will explained the whole situation, as seen through her eyes. The reason this is being posted is because some of us thought one thing, when it was actually something else. So I was wrong about the reason the person was removed from Billy Bob's and for that I apologize. To the person who commented, here is your answer.....this is what really happened:<br />
<br />Dear Glenda,<br />
<br />
You know that I always read and enjoy Caseymania. Thank you so much for
your enthusiasm and selfless support of Casey. I appreciate it so much. I
read the entry about the Billy Bob's show & I was a bit unsettled
reading the comments. Normally, I would not draw attention to any
negative event but there is obviously a misunderstanding.<br />
<br />
Let me clarify that no one at Billy Bobs was asked to leave the concert
for talking during Casey's songs. The same woman's voice you hear
yelling during some of Casey's videos, attempted a barroom brawl by the
woman's restroom after the concert. Unfortunately she was angry over a
misperception, caused a scene and threatened bodily harm to a friend of
mine. She was obviously inebriated so I stepped in front of her to calm
her down and protect my friend. She was pushing me & screaming
obscenities at my sweet friend when Security saw her. THAT is when she
was made to leave.<br />
All in all I believe Casey's fans are wonderful people and this
certainly doesn't change my opinion. Alcohol just doesn't settle well
with some people. Thank goodness, this type of occurrence rarely
happens. Casey welcomes anyone to his concerts, and you'll see his
audience holds toddlers to great grandmothers. It's inspiring!<br />
<br />
Thanks for letting me set things straight. Keep up the good work!<br />
Go Caseymania!!!<br />
<br />
Sincerely<br /><br />Debra James<br />

Well, I'm here to tell you....Billy Bob's was a H*U*G*E success!! I would really like to know how many tickets were sold! It was probably about 1/2 full or more. Thats 3000 people! I know it was a killer show and there were fans from 7 or 8 states there in attendance! Here are some of us now.....<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><i>Thanks to Cyndee for her great shot of us!</i></span><br />
And I wanted to send out a special "Thank You" to Debra James for stopping by and saying HI to all of us!! You made a whole bunch of people happy!! :)</div>

<br />
There were about 4 ladies missing, and I'm sorry they didn't get in the photo with us, but if yall send me a pic I'll post it here! :) And I won't try to name every person in the picture above, but yall know who you are!! Haha! We all had a great time, and it was good to see each and every one of you!! :) So glad so many were able to make it back to Texas again!<br />
<br />
<br />
The night before, on Thursday, a few of us landed at the "Key's Lounge". Some of the ladies had not seen it, and I am always on board for the Key's, so we went that night and we had a really good time. It was Jam Night and there were a nice variety of musicians and singers in the house!! It was a fun night!<br />
<br />
Here is a short clip of what was going on that night at the Key's.....<br />
<br />

<br />
Here's the group of us that were at the Key's Lounge, but I can't find a pic of us there.....we were all at Billy Bob's in this pic, waiting on our Meet & Greet! I think this is<i> <span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Cyndee's </span></i><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">pic. Thanks!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><i>Everyone was so nice! I met 3 new fans....Deborah, Shelley and Diana. Thank yall for coming to Texas to hang out with us a couple days....it was so fun!!</i></span><br />

<br />
<br />
We haven't gotten our M & G photos back yet so I can't post any of those pics....sorry. <br />
<br />
After listening to the new songs live, I've come away with a new favorite....oh I still love <span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><i>"Womans Touch"</i><span style="font-family: inherit;">.... but I think I'm leaning more towards <span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><i>"Run Away" </i><span style="font-family: inherit;">now!! I just LOVE it!!! I found myself humming and halfway singing it, and it irritated me so much that I didn't know the words, I decided to try to figure them out.....and I did!!! I've posted the lyrics to it (with the exception of a couple ?? words) on my Facebook page, and I think on <span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><i> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/CASEYMANIA/282463298440859">Caseymania Facebook</a></i></span></span></span></span></span>. It is a very very radio friendly song!!! I could see it going a long way!!<span style="font-family: inherit;"> And I think everybody has probably thought about just loading the truck up and taking to the highway, flipping a coin to decide which direction to go!! I know I have!! Well.....not in a long time.....but in my younger years, when something would go all wrong.....I'd just wanna pack up the truck and just GO!!! Never looking back.....but I didn't....well, I did sometimes..... :-/ but I always came back!! Hahaha!! So what I'm trying to say is....I think most people can relate to the song!! :) Don't yall agree?!?!</span><br />
<br />
Speaking of radio friendly songs, it's a good bet that Casey's next single will be <span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><i><a href="http://youtu.be/E4j43P4lcb8">"Drive"</a></i></span> . Click the link above and hear Casey and Blaine perform it acoustically at Fox Nashville a couple days ago. Here are a few photos from the Billy Bob's show, courtesy of <span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><i>Kathy11 & Cyndee.</i><span style="font-family: inherit;"> Thanks so much girls!! Good job!! Wooo Hooo!! </span></span><br />

Wow!!! What a surprise to wake up to today!!! Several new songs were performed last night in Denver, Colorado at the Grizzly Rose, to anxious and surprised fans!!

But I am so glad I can talk about this wonderful bubbly song!! I immediately loved it....from the catchy melody to the cleverly written lyrics, it was 2 thumbs W-A-Y up for me!!!

<br />
I love the bluesy sound to the last song....it really is a very beautiful and soulful song, and I'm so glad he's getting back to his blues....I've missed that about Casey!! But I'm not saying anything negative about all the other songs.....they are fantastic in their own way as well....beautifully written with catchy, radio friendly melodies. He can't go wrong with any of these tunes, that's for sure!!! They are all fantastic songs that are really gonna resonate well with the fans!!! And I hope all 7 of them make that next album he's working on!!<br />
<br />
I guess there's no pictures yet from the show last night, but not complaining when we have 7 new videos to watch over and over!!!! :)<br />
<br />
I'll be back when I have more breaking news!!!!!<br />
<br />
Until then.......<br />

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Well, Happy New Year to everybody! Hope you all are happy and healthy starting out your new year! Casey has been on a bit of a hiatus for a bit, and very much deserved, I would say! He has literally worked his tail off this year, and so have his dedicated band! But that don't last forever....and they have their first show of the new year coming up on January 12th, this coming Saturday in Denver, Colorado at the <a href="http://www.ticketweb.com/t3/sale/SaleEventDetail?dispatch=loadSelectionData&eventId=3184914&REFERRAL_ID=tmfeed&wt.mc_id=aff_BUYAT_97249&camefrom=CFC_BUYAT_97249">Grizzly Rose</a>. I've been to that Rose once....quite a while back, in 2009 I think.<br />
Anyway, the next one, which is becoming like a second home for Casey, he's been there so many times..... is Billy Bob's Texas in Ft. Worth, Texas! He and all the band seem to be in top form when they play this venue!! And people come from miles and miles around and other countries to see and hear Casey & the band play Billy Bob's! So come out if you can, the show is Friday, the 18th of January! Get your tickets <a href="http://tickets.billybobstexas.com/eventperformances.asp?evt=144">HERE</a> .<br />
Also, we are having a Fan Dinner across the street from Billy Bob's at Cooper's BBQ. I have the time set for 5pm. There are gonna be 2 Meet & Greets, but I'm thinking one might be the radio station winners, and the others are the ones who paid for the pass. Thats just an assumption, I'm not sure yet. But I got confirmation of the times of the 2 VIP's.... one is at 7:45pm and the other is at 8:20pm. If you have purchased a VIP pass, you will be getting a confirmation email telling you what time your VIP meeting is. Then we will know for sure what's going on. If you want to join us at the dinner, click on the following link and click GOING. <br />

While Casey was off, he had some time to sit down and write us a long Yellow Note!<br />

I checked in on the Mediabase charts, and it looks like "Crying on a Suitcase" is holding it's own against all the other artists songs, and coming in at #19 this week. That's a good thing, lets all keep those requests going out to the radio stations! By the way, he is actually being played in DFW now.....I'm so glad they came on board!! Yeee Haaawww!! :D<br />

By now, many of you know that one of our loving 'Casey sisters' has left this world to be with the Lord. Even though I never knew a whole lot about her....I knew she was smart, strong and stood her ground and refused to back down from cancer. I know she fought, and for a while, we thought she had beat it....but all too soon, she got the news that the cancer had returned. And I believed if anyone could beat it...she could. But it was much too much for her frail little body to take any more. She lost her battle on December 28th 2012.<br />
<br />
The first time I remember hearing the name Barbara Bortle, it was attached to a twitter name.... <i><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">@daydreaminmeme . </span></i><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Of course that was one of the cutest twitter names I had seen, and was instantly curious who this 'meme' gal was. </span>I began seeing her comical but very realistic words and quotes of the deep Cajun accent....which is common in Louisiana. The way she would write... "gawjus" and "dawlin" just tickled me to pieces!! I knew she was my kind of gal!! And I would talk with her whenever I could.<br />
About that same time I noticed she was making some very awesome poster-like photos with words attached of Casey, and they were so well done, I immediately asked for permission to use them on this site, and she so graciously said yes.... Later on I will post some of her work. <br />
<br />
Below you will find a wonderfully written piece by Shari G. and she perfectly describes how this next event played out. Thanks so much to her and Marie L. (this was her idea) for generously allowing me to use her work for this project. It just couldn't be told without this next piece of work. Read on.....<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><b>Goodness is Contagious </b></span><br />
<br />
Casey James once said that he wanted to surround himself with a
united front of goodness. Well, when it comes to his fans, that is
exactly what Casey has done. When the call goes out to Casey’s fans,
they answer with a singular passion and commitment that is as impressive
as it is inspiring.
<br />
Casey experienced this outpouring when he was a contestant on
American idol and relied on the dedication of fans to vote for him every
week to stay on the show. But it has expanded well beyond casting votes
for two hours straight once a week.<br />
Back in February, Casey visited St. Jude Children’s Hospital as part
of the Country Cares initiative. Following his visit, a couple of
Casey’s fans worked with St. Jude to have Casey’s name included on the
roster of artists on whose behalf donations could be made and then his
fans sent in donations to this very worthy cause.<br />
There have been many small acts of kindness, from fans giving extra
tickets for free so others can see Casey, to Christmas card exchanges,
from people gifting his single, to people getting personalized
autographs for fans who can’t meet Casey in person.<br />
But this last month, Casey’s fans have outdone themselves. After hearing that Casey was going to be performing at <a href="http://pajamajamconcert.com/">a concert</a> to
benefit the American Cancer Society’s Breast Cancer Awareness campaign,
sponsored by radio station 94.9 Star Country, one fan had an idea. She
thought of another fan who had long wanted to see Casey in person but
who had been battling breast cancer. She had been inspired by Casey’s
own story to fight hard and get better and had been strengthened by
notes Casey had signed for her with words of encouragement. One goal
sustained her during her ordeal – getting well enough to one day see
Casey in concert.<br />
What if we could send her to this event? What if we could raise the
money for the plane ticket, hotel room and the concert? What if Casey’s
fans could pool their resources and make her dream come true? This one
idea did not fall into the trash heap of “what if’s” and “if only’s.”
This idea turned into a plan which turned into a reality.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://burnthismedia.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/barbbouncingheart.gif"><img alt="" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-11058" src="http://burnthismedia.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/barbbouncingheart.gif?w=640" title="barbbouncingheart" /></a><br />
<br />
She
told another fan and then another and then the word was spread amongst
the tight-knit Casey community of fans via social media. The support for
this little idea was overwhelming. So much money has been donated that
not only will this one fan’s dream come true and she will be there to
finally get her hug from Casey, but a contribution to the American
Cancer Society of the excess money raised will be made by the fans of
Casey James.<br />
Music has healing power, so does friendship. Casey James fans have
brought the two together to create their own unique united front of
goodness.<br />

The Excellent Adventures of Casey James’ Special Friends by Barbara Bortle<br />
<a href="http://burnthismedia.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/dscn2070.jpg"><img alt="" class="size-full wp-image-13173 alignleft" src="http://burnthismedia.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/dscn2070.jpg?w=640" title="DSCN2070" /></a>As
many of you know, I am a very recent breast cancer survivor & my
goal over the past year has been to get well enough to attend a Casey
concert. His story & his music both touched my heart & served as
a compelling inspiration in my battle with this disease. Having
followed him since “that TV show”, I’ve been lucky enough to meet so
many of his amazing fans online thru Twitter and FaceBook, but most
significantly thru Shari Geller’s The Casey James Blog. One truly
special fan in particular, Marie Leathem, had the idea of sponsoring me
to go to Casey’s concert in Roanoke, VA on October 14th, at the annual
Pajama Jam Breast Cancer Benefit held there in conjunction with a local
radio station. Marie put the idea out there, and Casey’s awesome fans
responded with true “Caseyness”, raising not only enough money to pay my
expenses, but also enough to make a $1,312.00 donation to the American
Cancer Society in Casey’s name. The following is the story of that
magical evening.<br />
<a href="http://burnthismedia.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/barbhugmess1.jpg"><img alt="" class="size-full wp-image-13072 alignleft" src="http://burnthismedia.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/barbhugmess1.jpg?w=640" title="barbhugmess" /></a><br />
I flew into Roanoke from New Orleans Friday afternoon & I was
greeted by my dear friend, Painter, as I like to call her. She has been
attendin Casey concerts all year & gettin Casey to sign pictures for
me at nearly every show, as well as lettin me listen to him play via
her cell phone. She had a few surprises up her<br />
sleeve, it turned out…I turned around & there was another dear
friend, NorthCountryGirl!!! NCG, as we call her, filled in when Painter
couldn’t at gettin Casey to sign pictures for me at his shows. Then we
went outside and there was a black stretch LIMO waitin to take us to the
hotel!!!!! We were giddy like little kiddies the whole way there.
Roanoke is a beautiful place, and the hotel was simply splendid. We went
to our room to freshen up & then went out to get a bite to eat.<br />

in the week leadin up to the show, I had been informed that David,
Casey’s Sony guy, would be callin me to discuss & coordinate my
meetin with Casey (SQUEE!), so every time my cell phone made a noise,
the three of us would jump with anticipation. Of course, there was a
copious amount of textin back & forth with Marie, so we got LOTS of
exercise…lol. Back at the hotel, we checked out the arrangements for the
show, which included a dinner & silent auction. We found out that
we’d hafta line up outside in the courtyard to register & wait for
the doors to the ballroom to open at 6 p.m. Now, just picture this…we’re
all in our pj’s & there’s a gale force wind blowin out there &
the line was around-the-corner long! I was freezin my brand new boobies
off…lol…but it was well worth it to see Casey!!! And keep in mind, that
all this time, we’re waitin for that call from David…we got word from
Marie that it would be around the time sound check was goin on, so we
settled down to wait….impatiently, I’m afraid.<br />
<a href="http://burnthismedia.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/dscn2064.jpg"><img alt="" class="size-full wp-image-13179 alignleft" src="http://burnthismedia.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/dscn2064.jpg?w=640" title="DSCN2064" /></a>Well,
sound check came & went without a phone call, so I began to think
it wasn’t gonna happen….you ALL know how guys are…they SAY they’ll call
but they never DO! Lol… We cheered ourselves up by plannin to see Casey
after the show when we hoped he’d come out to sign autographs & take
pics with the fans. Finally, the doors opened & the line began
movin….we were almost at the end of it, so by the time we got inside all
the tables up front had been claimed. We found a spot in the very back,
but centrally located, so we could see alright. It was just a tad too
far back to take any really good pictures, tho, and the music comin over
the PA system was ear-splittin, so I put my phone on vibrate, just in
case THE CALL came thru. Then I got a text…from DAVID!!! It said that
they wouldn’t let us down, not to worry, they weren’t at the hotel yet,
but they’d see us after Casey’s set. I texted my thanks back & that
we were all lookin forward to meetin them. Then we finally were able to
breathe again & relax a lil bit…lol<br />
<a href="http://burnthismedia.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/dscn2066.jpg"><img alt="" class="size-full wp-image-13180 alignleft" src="http://burnthismedia.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/dscn2066.jpg?w=640" title="DSCN2066" /></a>Hunter
Hayes came on stage to play & he was very entertaining…the dinner
was buffet style, so we had to get up to get our food, but I took that
phone with me, just in Casey! Right near the end of Hunter’s set, my
phone vibrated again…it was another text from DAVID!!! He asked if we
could come to one of the meetin rooms right NOW…I said lemme think about
it…hah! I texted back “sure” & told Painter & NCG to come on!!!
We moved outta there like Commandos on a mission to save the free
world…lol We found a nice lady who said she’d take us to the meetin room
& before we knew it, we were in the same room with CASEY!!!!!!!!!!
(in his robe & pajamas!!!!)<br />

There were some other people in there for what I guess was a radio station<br />
meet & greet…David introduced us as “special friends” and we waited until<br />
they were all done before it was our turn. This was my first glimpse of Casey up<br />
close & personal….I gotta tell y’all….pictures don’t do him justice….he is<br />
INFINITELY more gawjus in person!!! I had brought with me all the pictures<br />
he’d signed…on one of them he’d written “Get well soon & come get a<br />
HUG!”…so I got that one out, as well as the donation check to give him, and<br />
waited for my turn. Casey looked up at us & he recognized Painter…his face lit<br />
up the whole room & he said “Hi!!! It’s great to see you again!!” I’m kinda fuzzy<br />
about what happened next, but then I was standin in front of him & showin him<br />
the “HUG” picture he’d signed…I told him I had come to collect it & he said,<br />
“Well, here it is!” Then he gave me the biggest, bestest bear hug I have ever had<br />
in my life!!!! It was sheer heaven….he just holds on for dear life. I
totally forgot to sniff him…or even breathe!!! When the hug was over, he
still kinda had his arm around me for a while….awwww, So Sweet!!! Then I
told him that not only did his fans pay my expenses, but look at what
else they did & I showed him the check. He was absolutely blown away
by it….he was almost speechless. I think he got a lil bit choked up…the
look on his face was pure awe. I told him that it was his fans showing
their “Caseyness”, spreading love & good works…he said, “You’re too
kind”…and I told him “No, Casey, this is all because of YOU & your
music…you have touched so many people by your example.” He was so humble
& appreciative…listenin so intently to what I was sayin…it was just
incredible! Then I told him how his struggle with the accident served
as my inspiration thru my battle…that I thought of him in that wheel
chair tryin to learn how to walk & play guitar again, and I’d think
“If Casey can do THAT, then I can do this”…and he said “Awwww” & he
gave me ANOTHER enormous hug…OMG!!! I just about died that very moment!
He is the sweetest, most adorable Dawlin ever & I’m getting choked
up just rememberin it all. At some point I asked him to do a special
favor for me & he said he would. I also invited him to New Orleans
& he said he’d love to come, that he has family there! Then I asked
him to sing my tee shirt & he wrote “That was a great hug! Great to
meet you! Love, CJ” I thanked him & it was over…time to let Painter
& NCG have some face time with him. We took a group picture, which
was fun because the radio station guys & David were all takin
pictures with our various cameras & kept messin up, so we’d hafta
pose again & again!!! We all thanked David & then went back to
the ballroom for Casey’s set.<br />

<a href="http://youtu.be/jlgkrKIDCMU">The long awaited HUG!!</a><br />
<br />
Y’all have seen the videos & pics from Casey’s performance by now, so I won’t<br />
be redundant here, except to say that when Casey played his single Let’s Don’t<br />
Call It a Night, the ENTIRE room erupted in hoots & hollahs & applause!!! And<br />
by the time he finished with Poke Salad Annie, they were all on their feet<br />
screamin & cheerin for more!!! He won over many new fans that night with his<br />
music, his amazin guitar skills, and his incredibly charmin ways. He is gonna be<br />
SUCH a big star soon…I’m glad I got to meet him now, cuz before we know it,<br />
we won’t be able to get next to him like we can in these early days of his career.<br />
When Casey came out after the show, we waited in line to see him one last time.<br />
I just wanted to thank him again for bein So Sweet to me…the line was LONG,<br />
lemme tell y’all! At one point, poor Casey looked out over the line & just sighed,<br />
but he never lost that beautiful smile on his face for one second. When he saw us<br />
waitin, his face lit up again & he gave us an incredibly special smile. I told him I<br />
just wanted to thank him again…he came around the table to give me<br />
ANOTHER huge hug!!!! OMG!!! How lucky am I??? I reminded him about<br />
comin to New Orleans & he said he would (YAY!) & then I checked with David<br />
to make sure he gave the donation check to the right people. He had forgotten<br />
(men!), so he checked with the radio station people & they said they would<br />
make sure it was delivered to the American Cancer Society. Then he said he’d<br />
see us in New Orleans at the Cafe du Monde & I said we’d all have beignets!!!!<br />
In closing….y’all were thinkin I’d never get to the end, right? lol…I
just want to express my deep, deep gratitude for what y’all have done
to make my dream<br />
come true in such a special & unforgettable way. I feel like I’m finally livin MY<br />
life again, and it’s all thanks to your Caseyness!!!<br />
Much, much love,<br />

I'm back with the 3rd and last installment of the Taste of Country Christmas Tour, starring Casey James. This last show was in Amarillo, at the Midnight Rodeo. It was a nice place and very country-fied! For the last time this year, J.B. and the Moonshine Band opened up for Casey. This was the show that I did something wrong to my phone, and ended up with about 10 slow motion videos of Casey!! They are kinda cool, for about 2 minutes....then I was looking for the sound....and there was none....and I tried everything under the sun to put them back to regular videos! I guess thats what I get for poking buttons and doing stuff I know nothing about. :( I may post one just becuase it does look very cool, among other things....hahaha!!<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Anyway, this is the show that we (John,Anthea & I) were to surprise my good friend Laura, who was going to the show, and had NO idea WE were!! All of us have VIP's so we parked where we could see and waited for her to go in. Soon, Kathy & Steve, walked up to the locked door to wait. Then we saw Laura and her son, Clint, getting out and walking up to the door. We wait till they get in and then we sneak in from the side of the building. I asked one of the workers where she went and they pointed her out. So she had her back to us, and I was praying that she kept still, till I could run up and surprise her! So we all get our tickets scanned and start over to where they are, sneaking up on her.... She stayed put and I quietly almost ran up to her and in her left ear I whispered....."Well, hello darlin'!!" And she was SOOOOOOO Surprised!!!! Then I said...."and look who I brought with me!!!!" We all started hugging and jumping and kissing on the cheeks and wiping each others tears.....it was so amazing for us to finally be able to pull it off!!!<br />
So I'd say it was a total success!! We had so much fun that night, catching up and just enjoying the company we were in!! And of course Casey was on fire that night!!!<br />
But first things first. After we greeted each other, we sat down and soon Casey was there with us and was in a very good mood, talking and laughing with us. A lot of questions were asked and he answered every one, as best he could! He did hint to us that a new single would be released soon, and which one, but I don't think he wanted us to tell, so I won't. Then he sang a new song for us that he wrote and may be on the next album. I asked him if I could talk about it on my website, and he said "No, this was just for us".... so I can't talk about it either. But I will say this....it's really good!!!<br />
Since I didn't get ANY videos, I'll have to post some pictures. I do have a video of Anthea and John's interview by the radio station in Amarillo!! And toward the end, they speak to Kathy and Steve Terry. Very fun....watch!! <br />

<br />
We had such a great time running around Texas sharing the "Caseyness" with anybody who would listen at the shows and in between the shows, traveling from one town to the next. It was a blast....I could do it a lot more, because I love to travel, but going to 6 shows in one month was so amazingly fun, I think I'm caught up on my Casey fix....that is until January when he plays Billy Bobs again!! I'm so excited, and hope I can meet more new fans at this show!! I'm looking for some videos for yall, and if I find them I'll post 'em for yall!!<br />
<br />
Ok, well, I'm about to start on something that is going to be hard....as most of you know, we have lost one of our own "Casey sisters" to that horrible breast cancer. Barbara Bortle, better known as @daydreaminmeme fought a brave battle against the culprit but was no match for it as it took control over time. I will be posting a story in her words, of how she finally got to meet Casey the first time and how all us Casey sisters, helped that happen for her!! The story is incredible, so come back and read all about this brave lady's fight and having a dream come true.<br />

Ok, part two is in the making now!! My internet is behaving for the moment! Anyway, the next show was at San Angelo and Casey's momma, Debra was there! She brought some mutual friends and a sister of one of the ladies. It was a blowout great time!!! We had VIP's for that show and lots of visiting with Casey was done. He would just sit and talk with us and we asked some questions and he answered them and laughed when someone said something funny. Oh....this was hilarious! Debra was sitting by Casey and he said he didn't feel well, that he had a headache.....so 'have pharmacy will travel' ..... (me)..... was right there with a single package of Tylenol for him!! Debra took it and started opening it, and Mike went to get Casey some water, then Casey was about to take the pills but put one of the pills between his teeth and said...."Am I allergic to these mom?" We were all laughing, at the way he said it, and Debra said.... "No, your not." Then I asked Debra if Casey was allergic to a lot of stuff and she said.... "Oh yea....a lot of stuff." So now there's another thing I didn't know about Casey. Well, bless his heart, I know that must be difficult to keep up with. Thank goodness his momma knows all the stuff he is allergic to. <br />
I wish I could remember details, but since I can't, thank goodness for Debra, here are the songs we heard in the VIP! <br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Waltz with Me by Tonic</li>
<li>Red Wine & Cheatin' Songs by Marty Stewart</li>
<li>Shine Your Shoes by Casey James :)</li>
<li>Life's Railway to Heaven (?? Old Bluegrass Song)</li>
<li>John Mayer song (we couldn't remember the title)</li>
</ul>
It was so wonderful to listen to he and Debra sing that special family harmony together!! Their beautiful blended voices is always so comforting to the soul, and sometimes you get those extra special goose bump moments that lets you know you're in the presence of talented excellence!!<br />

<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Hello everyone! Wow, I've been on a whirlwind roadtrip across Texas</span>, going to 3 back to back Casey shows! It was the last 3 of the "Taste of Country Christmas Tour" starring Casey James (of course)....and opening for Casey was J.B. and the Moonshine Band. From the songs they performed it was pretty clear somebody in that band had been to jail....and was broke. Ok, so that pretty much describes a lot of people! They were pretty good, but my only complaint was that their music was way too loud!! VERY LOUD!!! I was always glad when it was time for Casey because my ears could take a break! And, of course, Casey was the only reason I was there in the first place. LoL! <br />
I started out in Ft. Worth, Texas where I met my wonderful friends from England, John and Anthea, at the airport, and we headed off for our first show in Lubbock. We got there and rested up before the show the next night at the Wild West. After 3 shows back to back, some of the details tend to run together, especially if you can't remember anything anyway!! So yall bear with me as I try to convey the details from my worn our old memory..... :)<br />
Since getting back I haven't been able to upload any videos from Lubbock yet, although I'm working on it. For some reason, I feel like I'm the only person in the world who constantly has internet problems. Hmmmm, I wonder if I should change providers?! That might be my next move. Anyway, I have a couple pictures. Can you believe that face below?? I don't know what he was doing, but it certainly is a cute face he's making. <i>Thanks to Blake FM radio for these two nice pictures!</i><br />

<br />
And he looks lost in thought in this photo..... I do wonder..... what's going through his mind at that moment. Probably what is the next line of this song and what is the chord that goes with it!! Haha! Actually, I don't think he even has to think about it anymore! I think it just comes natural.....except maybe an occasional inversion of the fingers.....which does not make for the correct chord! He actually did that on "She's Money" and the band was all laughing and Casey was laughing, and I was laughing, because I heard it immediately, and saw everybody cracking up. I think it's very good when a person can laugh at themselves when they make little boo boo's like that!! And the majority of the people, I guarantee, never heard it!! :D Sometimes we think Casey is so perfect, and in some ways, maybe he is, but he knows he's not perfect, even in music. But it's so close.....who cares!! :)</div>

Casey picked up quite a few new fans over the last 3 shows! Me and Anthea were handing out Caseymania Cards to anyone who would take one. I figure if I can get them to just get here, there are enough links that they can learn what they want about this talented young man, who is coming up fast in the Country Music world. "Crying on a Suitcase" is holding it's own on the billboard charts, coming in at #22 with a bullet this week!! So it's still doing good! Keep those requests going to the radio stations fans!! Good Job!!<br />
Casey and the Band were on FIRE that first night!! And Casey did something he's never done!! Ever!! So come back here tomorrow and I'll tell yall what it was he did!! I wish I had more pictures, or video, from this show, but I can't seem to get them off my phone and on to my laptop. It wants to load everything that is on the phone!!! Ha!<br />
<br />
<br />
Anyway, the Lubbock show was very good, and totally enjoyed by everyone there, that I could tell!! :) Can't wait to get yall some videos up!!<br />
Oh, I remembered something.....at one point...(not sure what town this happned in but....) as he was playing his guitar, the front of the strap came off of the guitar and he was trying desperately to get it back on, kept playing and singing all at the same time!! I believe the man can multi-task like a woman!! :) I felt so helpless standing there seeing this happen, and couldn't help him at all!! Bless his heart....he finally got it back on and finished the song, never missing a lick!! :)<br />
<br />
Ok, I'm out for the night....bed time in Texas....<br />
<br />
Adios yall.....more to come tomorrow! :)</div>

Tonight Casey James will be in the audience of the American Country Awards (ACA) show live from Las Vegas...awaiting the news from his first nomination. The video for the single, "Let's Don't Call It A Night", is nominated in the category of, 'Best Video for a New Artist'. Everyone is so excited for Casey, and hoping this will be his first of many wins!! He has some very tough competition though, with Grammy winner Hunter Hayes at the top of the list. Even if Casey doesn't win, we can all be grateful that he at least got the nomination! He's being noticed!! And that is the main thing! Anyway, some of the veteran CJCC (on Facebook) members and some new fans are getting together for a 'watch party', like when he was on Idol. And Jan has asked everyone to show support for Casey by changing your Facebook photo to your all time favorite of Casey....or Casey and you....just whatever is your favorite! So if you would like to chat with others while watching the show, click on this link..... <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/503516779670624/">ACA Watch Party </a><br />
It comes on Monday night (tonight) at 8/7 central time on your local FOX network! :) So don't miss it!!<br />
<br />
I have a few videos from my shows a couple weeks ago, that I never got to finish telling yall about. It's been so long now....I've already forgotten all the small details...but I do remember that I got caught videoing at Lawton, Ok. lol.... So I think I got 1 or 2 videos but not many. But I got a lot of them at Wichita Falls. And WF is where Casey and Debra sang the song by Tonic, "If you could only see". I Love that song!! And I was so excited when they sang it for me!<br />

I tried to get pics of the whole band, but it was difficult to ever get David or Blaine. Just wanted yall to know I didn't leave them out on purpose! :)<br />
<br />
Recently, Casey James and his band participated in the 'No Shave November', for the kids of St. Jude Research Hospital, and they raised a total of $13,528.98!! Casey was named as <a href="http://www.nashville.com/music/2012/12/casey-james-named-mvb-most-valuable-beard-by-st-jude/">St. Jude's MVB</a> (Most Valuable Beard) for the fundraiser! What an honor that was!! Click the link above to read the whole story! :)<br />
Another thing happened that was quite noteworthy at the end of No Shave November..... it just so happened Casey was in Shreveport, La. for a show and 'a guy he works for' called up Casey and said...."I'm sick of the beard, I'd be willing to donate a chunk of money if you will shave the beard on stage tonight"..... watch the video below to see what happened!! Hahaha..... :D

<br />
I think we got to Abilene about 3 or 4 pm and we had to be at the venue for the VIP experience by 6 pm. So no time for a nap, which we were hoping for. We just cleaned up and got ready for the show. The VIP was pure bliss....absolutely everything you could ask for, except....they wouldn't let us take pictures or do any recording of any kind. I didn't care I got to sit about 6 feet from Casey as he and his sweet momma, Debra sang so beautifully together!! They couldn't think of anything to sing at first, and I started to make a request, but thought I may not suppose to do that, so I didn't. He didn't ask for requests, so I kept quiet. They ended up singing "Sea of Heartbreak", an old Don Gibson song and 2 more I cannot remember to save my life right now....but all I know is they were all good songs. Then some questions were asked by a few people, including me. I asked Casey if it was true that he knew the song by Tonic called "If you could only see". He quickly answered that Yes, in fact he did know and do that song. He then said, "that would have been a good one, why didn't you say something?" My answer was...."duh....I don't know".........what??? who says that to Casey James when he's asking you a question??? I think I also said, "I didn't know if I was suppose to or not....duh....duh....duh.....such a dummy.... lol!! Anyway, he then said, "I'll do that one tomorrow..." I don't know what I said after that, Casey just made my day....my month, my year.....totally!!! I guess I need to explain my obsession with the Tonic song. The night my 20 yr. old son passed away, he and his friend, Danny were singing every word to this song on the radio, they loved the song........then he got on a motorcycle and about 5 minutes later, he lost his life.................... so.............. this song means the world to me, because it's the last song he sang on this earth. I didn't want to tell Casey this, but I did tell Debra. So I have a good clear memory of him playing and singing that song for me, the next day, and him not knowing what he was doing for me. It just was one of the sweetest things ever! I did make it out of the room before losing it. It was so amazing to me, and I cried half my make up off. :) But it's ok, I got my song....many thanks to Casey for making a dream come true for me. :)<br />
<br />
The band opening for Casey was J.B. and the Moonshine band. They were pretty good, but I didn't waste any of my battery on them, I was there to see Casey. I'm sorry if that sounded mean, it wasn't meant that way. I just know my battery will barely last for Casey's show, so I didn't want to use any of it on other bands.<br />

Now it's time for Casey and the awesome band!!! We were all very excited!!! There were new fans there getting to see Casey perform for the first time!!! They were in awe.....to say the least!!! Casey started out with "The Good Life", then "Bulletproof", (one of my favs!!) and I'm not sure about the rest of the order....but I got a few pictures and videos. Here are some of them from the Alilene show.<br />

<i><br />"Crying on a Suitcase"</i><br />
On this video toward the end, you'll hear a lot of stuff going on, so listen closely.....you'll hear me say...."You can't get up there......watch out Casey!!!" LoL!!! This girl had put her hands on mine and Beth's shoulders and threw her cowboy booted leg up on the stage and catapulted herself up onto the stage and proceeded to walk up to Casey.....Well, I was trying to warn him in case she was gonna run up and kiss him or stab him....I didn't know who she was. But as it turns out, she was just an anxious fan who wanted a picture with Casey, and you can hear Debra talking to her, because I think the girl started crying so Debra was consoling her. But after everything is said and done....it was a good laugh!!<i> </i><br />

Ya know, I've been up all night working on this....it's now 4:17 am and I'm so tired. I will get back on here and work some more on it tomorrow. Maybe I'll just do a city a day....tomorrow will be Wichita Falls. A lot of my Abilene videos were not uploaded yet, or any of the rest of them, as a matter of fact. I've only got a few loaded, but I will get yall some more goodies tomorrow!! A great big thanks to <i>luvcaseyjames </i>for the great videos shared with us here.<br />

<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">It's amazing to me that November is nearly half over....already!! The holidays are coming on fast! And that means it's time to resurrect</span> all those decorations, (if ya hadn't already...lol) and get ready for the 2012 Holiday season. And here at Caseymania, we begin the process of gathering our names for the Christmas Card Exchange! If you've done this since the beginning, 2010 to be exact, you know this is a load of fun! It was stressful in the beginning and last year I had help doing it, but this year I took a suggestion from my friend, Cyndee. We have started an <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/465696723481851/">EVENT on Facebook</a>, and all you need to do is go to the page (click the link above) and click on "GOING" and leave me message with your address on it. You will then be added to the list. If you are not on Facebook, you can send me an email to redbird49tex@gmail.com So far we have about 32 or 33 who have committed, so the price of the postage with that many would be around $13.00 - $14.00. Of course I want each of you to be unique with your cards, and make it truly shine with your personality! In the past a lot of us have gathered our pictures of Casey and ourselves, and made Christmas Cards from our favorites. There are several sites that help you to create your own cards. <a href="http://snapfish.com/">Snapfish</a> is one that I like to use. Others are <a href="http://photo2.walgreens.com/walgreens/storepage/storePageId=Cards">Walgreens Photo </a> and <a href="http://photos.walmart.com/walmart/storepage/storePageId=Cards?povid=cat1070145-env172199-moduleA080112-lLinkGNAV_Photo_Photo_CardsInvitations">Wal Mart Photo</a>, you can make your own there as well. Or, if you choose to make yours by hand, to put a real personal touch to them, you can do that too! Or if you just like normal, regular Christmas Cards, then send them too! :) Thats the beauty of the CCE, there are no real rules as to how you do your Christmas Cards to send out. You can do it your way. :)<br />
<br />
Ok, let me see how much stuff I can talk about....<br />
<br />
First of all, Casey and the guys are supporting St. Judes Childrens Research and Hospital this year, and have started a Team effort to raise $10,000 for the charity. They are doing so by joining in on 'No Shave November' to raise as much as they can, and they won't shave the whole month! We can help them reach their goal! If you would like to make a donation in Casey's name you can do so by going <a href="https://waystohelp.stjude.org/sjVPortal/public/displayTeamPage.do?eventId=329697&programId=901&teamId=24647">HERE</a> and signing up. Or if you are already signed up, you can just go donate at any time you like this month. Here is a picture of the guys in the beginning of the No Shave period. Hmmmm....did Casey get a head start?! LoL!! Like he said in an interview...."I just shaved this morning!" Hahaha!!<br />

<br />
Casey had a very cute interview with Lea, a DJ for a syndicated show. She pulled some stuff out of him, I hadn't heard....a snake handler....really?? Haha!! Watch this.....<br />
<br />
<a href="http://youtu.be/fgYdavpWhuI">Casey's interview with Lia</a><br />
<br /></div>
There are a couple new shows that popped up. One is in San Antonio, Texas at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/CowboysDancehallSanAntonio">Cowboy's Dancehall</a>, on the 11th of December. It's KJ's Star Party, and they have the best new stars of 2012 for it! On the bill will be Casey James, Thomas Rhett, Dustin Lynch, Janna Kramer and Kip Moore.<br />
Also Casey and the guys have a new show coming up in Manhattan, Kansas at the <a href="http://cjonline.com/news/2012-11-12/2013-country-stampede-performers-include-big-names-and-comers#.UKLqU6i58jF.facebook">Country Stampede</a>! Casey has been added to the growing list of stars that are going to grace the stages there on June 27th - 30th 2013! Casey's set will be on Saturday, the 29th at 5:30 pm.<br />
<br />
We have some really nice pictures from the Des Moines show from last weekend! Our friend Donna took pictures and managed to get a little video before getting *busted!* Some of those arenas don't allow videoing, so we have to learn to do some hiding tricks. :) and sometimes we still get caught...I did too, so don't feel bad miss Donna... :) The things we do to get our Casey footage....<br />
<br />
I love the new T-Shirt at Casey's Merchandise table and site. It's a rundown of all his shows for the last few months. <br />
