Casey James tweets!! New music coming, and a show tomorrow!!

You read it right!!  Casey has tweeted the fans at last!!  We have been waiting for any news from Casey about what has been happening since all the media attention in Las Vegas at the ACM Awards Show and Fan Jam earlier this month!  He first sent this tweet as a teaser that the 'yellow note', as it's become known, was on it's way....

Alright y'all. I'm writing a yellow note. Might take me all night. Check back in the next 24 hours to catch up with me. Love you all!

That sent the fans into a tizzy, waiting and watching for the ever popular 'yellow note' to arrive!  And approximately 24 hours later, as promised, the 'yellow note' arrived.... Here's what Casey had to say to his fans:

Here's the original link, if you want to read it from there, or save it.......just click "HERE"

I am not tech savvy enough to enlarge this any more than it is....so I'm sorry if the print is small!   It's as large as I can get it, here, with the controls I have to work with. 
Don't you just love the black background??  He went out of his way to put that behind the note, for us!!  Such a sweetheart, that Casey!  And Casey, if you drop by, I just want to thank you so much for letting us know how you are, really, we all appreciate the yellow notes so much!

And now.....just a reminder for those who may be able to make it, Casey has a show tomorrow at the Indiana State Fairgrounds in Indianapolis, Indiana, at the "BEST BUY COUNTRY MUSIC EXPO"!!   Doors open at 10:00am.....He will go on at 12:45, and as he said in the Yellow Note, he will be doing an acoustic show.  Then, he will do a questions and answer from the stage.  So fans, get all your good questions ready and find out some more information for us!!  I want to know if he's going to be performing at the CMA fest and if he will drop by Hot Shotz at 11am on Saturday, June 11th, for a little Fan Club Party that's being set up by the internet radio station, "NIXA COUNTRY"   in downtown Nashville across from the Wildhorse Saloon!  And.....of course we need the fans to video any new music tomorrow!!  We want to hear his whole set, if possible, so everybody who's going, try to get all of it if you can!! :)
After his set and the Q&A, he will be signing for the fans at 2:00pm at the Best Buy Music Lounge.  So, I hope everyone gets a picture with Casey, some chat time, and a signed item!!  I hope everyone has a fantastic time, and represent well for those of us who can't be there!!  We're counting on YOU!!!




I'll leave you with one of my all time favorite Casey pictures......

Until next time......

Thanks to you for finding this little clip.....you know who you are.... :)


Ok, I'll update if more news comes in....

A very humorous Casey divulges his secret to his lovely golden locks!!!  To read to whole story, from Taste of Country, click below!! :)


Casey James discusses keeping his hair dirty? and staying off the road after accident




There's not a lot of news happening right now, so I'm just posting this and that until things start happening again!! 

I just cannot get enough of this bluesy tune....



And now, I'm just gonna post a few of my all time favorite 'Caseyness'  photos!!  thanks to all who have lent their pictures to the internet for use!

Ok, I better stop, but just so ya know......this is just the beginning of my favorite pictures of Casey!  He's just so photogenic I have 100's of favorites!

I'll be back when there's more to talk about.....

Until next time......

Show coming up, my creation, and other stuff...

Hey everybody!  I'm gonna try it again.....and if you don't know what I'm talking about, well, I completed a full post a few nights ago, and it takes a while to do one.....and something went wrong when I clicked on publish post, and suddenly everything I had been working on for hours....was gone....just like that!!   Ok, I'm usually pretty calm, don't let things get to me much, but I'm here to tell ya,  that unraveled me right quick!!!  So I had to shut my computer down for a couple days!  I actually got over it pretty quick, because while I was still steaming.....Casey came on Nixa Country, (which I was listening to this whole time) and was singing "Hold On I'm Coming"!!  How appropriate and perfectly timed was that?!?!  I felt a calm come over me, that was just awesome!!!  I started singing along with it, and for the moment, forgot about what had just happened.  But soon I put my computer away and turned off the radio and just had to go to bed.  I was drained.

Here's a fantastic poster done by a very talented gal we like to call daydreaminmeme   
She has a fantastic eye for detail, and I wanted to honor her by posting one of her best posters ever!!!  Hmmm, I'll go so far as to say this could very easily become an album cover!!   Are ya getting all this Sony/BNA???   Thank you meme.....you are so awesome!!

I haven't felt like writing anything until now, so here I am!! :)  And in a much better mood, as I watch the bottom of the screen as I'm typing and it's saying...... saving draft....every few seconds.  I don't think it was doing that the other night!  At least I feel safe now.... :)

I came across one of the best (if not the best) group of videos of Casey during his Homecoming last year, and I actually forgot about this guy's professional videos!  They are crystal clear and up close and the audio is so awesome, you can hear every little hum from Casey!!  If you are a new fan, and may have not had the pleasure of seeing Casey last year during his homecoming visit to Fort Worth, Texas, then let me show you what you're missing!  I hadn't seen this particular video in a while, and it made me cry, as it always does, but it just felt so good to listen to is again and see the  pride in his face as he sings to his Hometown people of Millsap, Tx.  
Please....allow me to introduce you to Casey James, if you are new.....and if not, watch this video again, and watch his face....then watch it again, but this time put on headphones and close your eyes, and just lay back and listen....it will bring you to tears!

"Blue Sky"


Big Thanks to tony90265 for this superb video!

And now that I'm through reminiscing, Casey has a show coming up!!  He will be playing the Country Music Expo at the Indiana State Fairgrounds.  I'm not sure if he will be playing at the Blue Ribbon Pavilion or the Champions Pavilion, it doesn't say, but I think it's one of them.  He goes on at 12:45pm  to perform and will do something quite different.  He will have a Q and A from the stage, after the performance.   They also say that Casey will also be signing for the fans after his show, so if you are going to this show, you're in for a big treat!!  The doors open at 10 am and for more information click HERE.  If you're planning to go, have a great time and take lots of pictures and videos.... and please....video that Q & A for us! :)

A new picture has surfaced....and   I don't know who actually owns this picture, but it came from Sara, who lives in Florida, and it's from the Seattle show back during the Idol Tour.  I must post a warning with this one.....look at your own risk!  :)

 



 

This next photo was just me playing with my apps on my IPhone.  And this is what I came up with!  Think I may play some more!  :)

I've been busy putting the names together of the Casey Fans who are attending the CMA fest this year!!  The Fest takes place in downtown Nashville, Tn. every year the 2nd week of June!  Everybody who's anybody will be performing there, over 400 artists!!  Some new some old, some that are Hot right now, will all be performing on different stages at different times of the day and night!!  It's a country/southern rock/country rock 4 days of nonstop music!!  There's bound to be something you like, so if you are interested in attending just go to the>>> CMA fest website <<<< and check it all out!!  Hope to see you there!!  And if your going, leave me a comment here and let me know, cause I want to meet YOU!!!

And now.....for the GREAT news!!!!  There is going to be an UN-official Casey James Fan Club Party being held on Saturday at 11:00am at Hot Shotz, located at 2nd and Broadway, across from the Wildhorse Saloon!  This awesome party is being brought to us by Val Jean Nixa (@ValJean_NIXA) of Nixa Internet Country Radio (@NixaCountry)!!  And we THANK HER so very much for putting this party together for us!!!!   There is no confirmation that Casey will be there, but I'm sure he's being invited!!  And if he IS there....oh wow.....we will be in for a treat!!!  But if not, we will all still be excited to meet one another and get to visit with other Casey Fans from all over!!  
Also, at this time, Casey has not yet been added to the lineup of artists performing at the CMA fest, but there's still time to get him in there.  I'm not worried.  I will absolutely be shocked if he is not scheduled to be there!!  That would just be wrong!!

I don't know if I've said this before or not, (you'll notice in the future I'll be repeating myself a lot!) but we are suppose to be getting a new single out by mid-May!!!  But as some of you may not know, those dates and estimations of the drop of a single can, and do, get pushed back, for whatever reason.  But hopefully it will be out soon and we can start spreading the word about it!! 
And the video for the first single.....I've thought about that a lot!!  How good can Casey act??  I do hope he can, cause if he's starring in his own video, which we all hope he does, he's gonna have to do a little of it!  I think he'll be fine as long as they don't try to make him dance!!  :D  LOL!!
It will be out shortly after the first single is released.  It will be played on  GAC (Great American Country) TV and CMT (Country Music Television) TV stations. 
I think CMT is part of the basic packages of most cable and satellite TV.  But you have to get a bigger package to get the GAC chanel.  GAC is really a great music and artist channel, because they have shows like, Backstory, which is short storys about artists and who they were before we knew them as singers.  I can't wait to see Casey's Backstory on it!  And both CMT and GAC have a Top 20 Countdown, which counts down the weeks best videos!  So we get to vote for Casey's video every week....on both of them!!  One, lets you vote multiple times and the other only once per day, and right now, I can't remember which one does what....sorry.  I should know this, but I haven't had a video to vote for in a while, so....forgive me!  :)

Ok, I'm gonna leave yall with another old video from last year, of Casey, just because I'm feeling a bit bluesy and  nostalgic right now..... enjoy....

Yall take care.....Until next time....

Happy Easter!!

I have no idea why this stupid blogger just did this to me, but I just did a big post, I worked 4 hrs on, and it deleted every bit of it, with one keystroke....like I never did it!   When I hit publish, it had done this before, saying conflicting edits....which I have no idea what means.....but it always said to hit the back button and try again..... I did....and it was all gone....everything!!  So....I'm so mad right now, I'm literally bawling like a baby, so before I throw this computer across the room and cost myself 1400 dollars, I'm gonna shut it down, I really am livid right now, and I'm glad I'm by myself!!!!  Think I'll go outside and scream as loud as humanly possible!!!  I'm sorry yall, this has never happened, it has never ever taken my whole write up and deleted it.  So, I don't know what else to do, but say Happy Easter everybody, and as soon as I can cool off, I'll be back. 

We have a winner....more interviews, videos, and some changes going on....

Ok....I don't know about yall.....but I think I'm suffering from Casey withdrawals after all the media attention and videos and pictures!!  It seems like I'll never get everything posted for yall, but I do, and then.....just like that *snaps fingers*  its over!!  There's been very little new information coming in since Las Vegas!  So it leaves us all drowning in our withdrawal symptoms, hoping for more news or pictures, or a video being posted late.....Hey!!  I do have a video that was posted late!!!  :)  And it's mine!!! I'll post it in a few minutes!

I'm undergoing a bit of maintenance here at the site as we go from a Blogger to a domain name of our own.  The new address will be   www.caseymania.com     But that address won't work yet, so you can keep using the other for now.  And when the .com address is working, it will redirect any blogspot.com clicks that come through.  Right now, everything is still in the changing over mode, so if things look a little off or you can't post a comment, just try again later, it will work.  I just thought it was time to embark on our own....time to change.


First I want to talk a minute about Casey's new music he's been singing for us!  As you can see, the poll is over and it's been taken down.  The song the fans chose as their choice for Casey's 1st single was.....(*drumroll please*)  DRIVE!!!  Good choice everybody!!!  Here's how all the percentages broke down:

"DRIVE"-49%
"LET'S DON'T CALL IT A NIGHT"-20%
"HOLD ON"-19%
"DONE MADE UP MY MIND"-9%
"TIL' MY GUITAR"-7%
"BULLETPROOF"-5%

It really surprises me that Bulletproof didn't do better, cause I just LOVE that one!!  Ok, here I go again....I LOVE all of them, but that one is up close to the top of the list for me!!!  But this poll was not about  favorite, but which song you thought should be the 1st single.  Gotta love that rowdy, honky tonkin' sound of Bulletproof though!!!  I've always been a fan of the honky tonk sounds anyway, like that of Dwight Yoakam!!!  Good dancing and moving music!! :)  I guess I'm like my friend Mickey.....she said it depends on the mood she's in.....as to which song is her favorite....and us women are known for our moods.....aren't we?! :)  And I mean that in a good way, of course!!  Yea, I think that's what it is with me too.....my mood reflects my favorite song of the day....or week! :)  But again....this poll was not about favorites, but the one we think would go over well on the radio and make the biggest impact on radio!  And we did that!  Thanks for all who participated in the poll, maybe Casey or Todd will come by and read the results.  I sure hope so!!  :)

Ok, it's not the best quality, but I was just so thrilled I could finally upload, (I had a modem go out on me)  I uploaded this 3/4 video of "Done Made Up My Mind", at Fremont Street in Vegas.  The only reason the full song is not there is because my memory card filled up....can you believe that??  Only one other time in all my years of videoing has that ever happened!!  I was upset with myself....I almost slapped my own head....*Slap*.....geeeezzzzz  what was I thinking not taking some stuff off or at least checking it?!  Anyway, here's the video....enjoy....  :)

And....just because I LOVE it.....and I love Casey's BLUES.....here's "Drowning On Dry Land"  back during his homecoming last May!  Enjoy....

There's a couple more interviews that has showed up since my last post.  This first one is by a Las Vegas Local Fox affiliate KVVU Fox 5.  It was done on the Red Carpet at the ACM Awards Show a couple weeks ago.  And the news anchors have nothing but good things to say about our sweet boy!  Click the link below to check it out!
