Jean says hello to all of her fans and wants you to check out her website, and leave her a message. She is still doing her spots on the Grand Ole Opry and taking selected dates for personal appearances.

Jim Ed Brown, Century II Recording artists new single “In Style Again,” still moving up the country airplay charts and beginning to get great airplay on all stations that play country music and want to hear the legends such as Jim Ed bringing music to them that is up to the standards of today radio. Jim Ed had a great evening on August 10th when he celebrated his 50th anniversary as a member of the Grand Ole Opry, and then after the Opry, he was the host of the Ernest Tubb Midnight Jamboree, and we all know that E.T. was there in heart and mind, and had to be so proud of Jim Ed. David McCormick presented Jim Ed with a beautiful plaque commemorating his anniversary and what he has accomplished in country music, and still making it known that he is not ready to “retire,” especially now that he is in the 4th chapter of his musical career. By the way, the size of the cake that was baked for him to commemorate this great achievement of 50 years as an Opry member, could have fed the entire city of Nashville and more. I heard it weighed about 300 pounds!!!!!!! A very large cake for a legendary artist who has been so large in the country music industry. Congrats Jim Ed.
Jim Ed is looking for material for his next single, and Century II might just have a surprise for everyone in the country music business. Jim Ed keeps in touch with his website, so why not stop by and say hello.
