Texas music artist Curtis Grimes stopped by KEAN today during my morning show to bring me his new single titled "Home To Me." At first I thought, I'll take his C.D. and give it a listen, and he'd be on his way. He was heading to Lubbock and Amarillo on his whirl-wind "radio tour" doing what he called "pimping my new record." When something caught my eye in the back of his car, the boy brought his guitar. Good enough for me I quickly asked if he would bring in his guitar.

While Keith Urban's future as an American Idol judge may be in question, It appears the the country crooner knows exactly what he wants out of life. Although it sounds a little confusing at first, I believe I get it in the end. Urban doesn't need much of nothing, but rather a little bit of everything. Keith says he wants something strong to drink, a box of Cuban cigars to smoke and a cool chick to cook and dance for him. I'm sure the later is not a jab at his movie star wife, Nicole Kidman (I just can't imagine her in a kitchen cooking fried chicken.)

Luke Bryan released what will surely become the official summer anthem of 2013. The song called "Just A Sip" is an all out party song that has one looking forward to the weekend, with the promise of a sip of beer or whiskey to expedite the journey. The video on the other hand was shot during a single event, Luke Bryan's concert in Panama City, Florida during spring break earlier this year. There's not a lot of real "substance" to this video, just a lot of college students in bathing suits, drinking and just having a good time jamming to Luke's music.

Krista is an black and white four year old Tabby cat that was turned in by her owner. Abilene Animal Control Shelter employees tell me that Krista is a victim of domestic abuse. It seems that her owner (to save her own life) moved into the NOAH Project and then, she begged animal shelter officers to help find "really good homes" for her two pets. The family's dog was adopted Saturday. Now only Krista the cat remains, sad and alone at the animal shelter looking for a safer environment to call home.
