KICKS Country Fair

[redradioranger]

It's easy to see why Kicks is the country music leader in Atlanta. This past weekend out at Lakewood they put a two day concert that was unbelievable. The place was packed the music was great, I ended up going both nights after all the fun Friday. Dierks Bentley, Miranda Lambert, Clay Walker, Luke Bryan, Travis Tritt huge!

While the Bull is making a valiant effort to get some of Kick's audience, I agree that until they can sponsor shows like the country fair, they will always be a distant 2nd to Kicks. Doesn't the Bull have C.C entertainment they can tap into for big show sponsorships?

Did Russell Smith back up Travis?

To fill you in on Roddy's question......
Russell is the former chief engineer for WKHX. I say former because he just went to work as Travis Tritt's personal studio engineer for a gazillion dollars.
Most radio chiefs get tired of the 2AM calls after a few years.....I wonder if Rusty will get 2AM calls from Tritt to come reboot the Protools file server. I have heard that Travis can be a wee bit "difficult" at times....I'm not convinced that leaving radio for pop stardom is that conducive to mental health.

I really miss Russell but we talked last week and he's very happy working with Travis. He's a farm boy anyway and loves being on a tractor. BTW he is still taking care of WDWD AM-590 so he still has his fingers in the world of radio.

I think he's more than Travis' studio engineer, Tom. I think he's managing Travis' estate.

Good for Russell! He will be missed at 2am...

Tritt has a beautiful wife, Theresa. I wonder if Russell gets to be the Italian gardener and "manage" her??
