MICHELLE LEA'S NEWSLETTER
Hey Guys,
We wanted to drop everyone a note to tell you about Michelle's booking with Annie's Country Jubilee on the 24th of this month.  Annie and Terry Dunavin has one of the best shows with some of the best musicians in Country Music in good ole' Tonganoxie, KS.   Michelle really enjoys performing on their wonderful stage which has one of the best sound systems in the Kansas City area.  Annie is an accomplished artist with a beautiful voice who has been entertaining folks for many years.  Halie Walker is also an accomplished vocalist who we have had the pleasure of listening to for several years now - she should also be performing and providing excellent harmony as well.  
Please mark your calendars for the 24th of this month and be prepared to be entertained!!   If you click on this link... http://www.anniescountryjubilee.com/  it will take you to Annie's website and you can find show times, dates, admission cost and a lot of great information about their wonderful show.
I will send out one more reminder regarding this show about a week before the 24th.  This is one show you do not want to miss.
Also, Thank you all for the wonderful comments regarding some of Michelle's latest recordings and especially your interest in her latest music video "Will The Circle Be Unbroken" - Tribute to Maybelle Carter.  Within hours of posting the video on YouTube Michelle got over 50 hits.   However, Michelle made me pull it from YouTube to make some minor changes...lol   It is now back on YouTube and the hit counter started over again but within a few days the video got some very nice comments with a total of over 300 hits - so far.  We would like to give a special thanks out to Tommy Campbell for lending his time and talent to make the recording and video a huge success.
We are also very pleased over Michelle's "Georgia Rain" video which has been on YouTube for nearly 8 months now and it has had nearly 1500 hits.  Something else worth mentioning is Michelle's website.  It has had over 23,000 hits - Not bad for a country girl with a dream and a lot of determination huh?
Thanks again for your continued support and we hope to see many of you on the 24th.
Sincerely,
Ken, Wendy &
Michelle Lea

Hello folks and happy New Year.  Tomorrow night (Saturday) is our show at the Burlington Opry.  Our guests are, the Singing Bus Driver, Mr. David Welch from Belton.  David brings a bus full of people  and then performs on stage with the band.  If you have never seen David perform you have missed out.  We also have the Dickie family from Louisburg.  The family is a band with the mother playing the bass, dad on guitar and the girls playing mandolin and fiddle.  They are a pleasure to watch.  We are also pleased to have Ronda Kemble.  Ronda has sang backup at local oprys and is always a lot of fun.  We have Jody on steel, Russ on bass, myself on keys, Mark Paquette on drums, and David Hammersmith on guitar. 

Hope to see you there.

David

NO BURLINGTON OPRY THIS SATURDAY NIGHT
Howdy folks.  With the weather we’ve had the parking lot behind the theater  is a huge sheet of ice.  This along with the ice we’re going to get tomorrow, and then a call for snow on Saturday, I have decided to cancel the show for this Saturday.  I’m sorry for any inconvenience.  Meanwhile, Merry Christmas, we’ll see you next year….

As I sit here it is like 6 degrees outside. There is

 a 90% chance of 4 - 6 inches of snow tomorrow,

Thursday night they are calling for freezing rain, and

on Friday night at show the high is suppose to be 8

 degrees!  :( So, guess what????


I have already called off the last show. I put the AD in

The New Shopper that we will NOT have a show Dec.

 19.  I hate to do that, but I really think that the

weather this week, is not going to be on our side. I

will get Bill & Mike to come up when spring gets here!


I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas & A

 Happy New Year, and thank you for another great year!
 
See you all on Friday, Feb. 27 with Margorie Horton!
 
Mike
