Dan Joyce:

Like Dusty, I started in Country Radio at Q102 in Winchester, but it was in 1996. From there I went to Country 99.7 in Charlottesville and Mix 107.5 in Charlottesville. Most recently I was doing mornings at our sister station Mix 93.1. You better believe I jumped at the chance to join up with Dusty on Country KCY

It's CSI Day....marking the kick off of the popular tv series....somewhere, a network is running an episode right now...and you're reading this!

Colts coach Tony Dungy-53
Actress Elizabeth Shue-45
Tim Rushlow, formerly of Little Texas is 42
Baseball's Ruben Sierra is 42 today. Ruben's career headed south after he was injured at his 27th birthday party. He got his earring caught in the pinata and the kids almost beat him to death.
Billy Ray Cyrus visited the Pittsburgh Zoo to see a Siberian tiger cub named for him. The tiger was named Billy Ray at the request of a fan who made a donation so she could name the cub. Like Billy Ray the singer, the Siberian tiger is a rare breed -- there are only 400 of them left in the wild.
Well, well, well, the French have announced the winners for their French Country Music Awards and American performers were clearly the favorites...they'll all be subjected to rigorous P.E.D. tests!

Wanna smell nice tomorrow? Try using your deodorant tonight before going to bed. Research shows that at night, your skin is cool and dry, and deodorant can better penetrate into sweat ducts and continue to block wetness the next day, even if you shower! Now, if we can figure that out, we'll have to get to work on "morning mouth!"
An attendant at the Pekin "Lucky Mart" in Illinois made a boo boo when punching in the gas prices for the afternoon and entered $.35 per gallon instead of $3.50 per gallon...and the folks in town came pouring in! The owner says they lost about 1000 gallons of gas and about $3500 because of the mistake, but isn't too worried because of how happy the customers looked while filling up. The attendant realized the mistake when people were filling up their tanks, but only paying $5 or $6 for the fill up. Traffic was said to be chaotic during the two hour gas fiasco!
If that ain't a "Lucky" Mart, I don't know what is!
Dierks Bentley officially became a Dad over the weekend. His wife, Cassidy, gave birth to Evalyn Day Bentley shortly before midnight on Saturday. This is the first child for both and she weighed in at 7lbs 10 oz. Then Dierks went out Sunday for his charity ride. That had to be tough, but at least it was for a good cause and not to just play a concert. Wonder if they'll sell the pictures?
BREAKING NEWS!!!!
John Rich was in Houston, TX last week when he proposed to his longtime girlfriend, Joan Bush while at Morton’s Steakhouse. Congrats to the happy couple!
Faith Hill and Tim McGraw have joined the ranks of celebrities like Lenny Kravitz, Oprah Winfrey and Johnny Depp, who can claim ownership of a private island in the Bahamas.
Located in the rapidly growing Exumas, which is home to many luxury resorts and quaint towns, the couple's island is fully developed, with perfect sandy beaches and plenty of trails throughout - perfect for walking, hiking, horseback riding.
Take a closer look (but not too close) at the couple's island..

Actor Jack Wagner-49

Helio...what are you thinking?
We didn't get to it on the show this morning, but 2 time Indy 500 winner and Dancing With the Stars winner Helio Castroneves was indicted for Income Tax Evasion, accused of siphoning millions of dollars in income to a shell company in Panama to avoid paying income taxes in the US. He's due in court in Miami today, and, if convicted on all charges, could be looking at 35 years in prison!
If you missed Toby Keith's "Beer for My Horses" in theaters, fear not, it's already headed for the small screen-it will be on CMT on November 2nd....and then run on a loop with "Pure COuntry" for a month and a half straight.....if that's not enough, you can get the DVD November 11th.
Blake Shelton's "Big Announcement" in the USA Today is.....
he's releasing his album in November instead of January. "Startin' Fires" will be available November 18th.
And yes, we're a little disappointed it wasn't something a little bigger too.
More weird news from Germany....what's going on over there?
Authorities are a little more than embarrased after trying to collect back taxes from a famous German poet who has been dead for over 200 years! Officials have been sending bills for Freidrich Schiller to and elementary school that bears his name, demanding $200 worth of back taxes dating to 1805-including late fees and interest-for a total of $80k! They say the fact that the name is not "outstanding" in anyway led to the mistake. Suuuure it did.
What a Doll!!!
A pocket-sized Keith Urban can be yours by request through Just Creations Custom Portrait Dolls. The company created the shaggy-haired, stubble-faced doll and sold it on E-Bay for 250 bucks. But a look at their website indicates that interested buyers can purchase their own Aussie guitar slinger along with his eerily glazed over wife, Nicole Kidman...

Brad Paisely and Carrie Underwood, both CMA Male and Female Vocalists of the year from last year, will return to host the CMA's this year. This is the first year that either of them has hosted. Look for both to perform as well.
Wanna win a Kellie Pickler concert for you and 100 of your closest friends? You can, just text the word PICKLER to 6-6-9-3-7 between now and midnight October 13th....a winner will be picked at random. The show won't cost you anything, but Kellie would like to be fed.
You'd better start winning those pizza's from RJ in the 11 O'clock hour!
A German grandmother, 89 year old Heidi Kohl, has been sentenced to knit sweaters for the people whose tires she slashed. She was originally fined for slashing the tires of dozens of cars, but did not have the money to pay the hefty fine. The German prosecutor said when each victim has recieved their sweater, they will consider the matter closed.
Listen, when an 89 year old Grandmother says, "Get off my lawn"....get your tail off their lawn-or you'll end up with slashed tires and a lousy sweater....
Thirty-year-old Joanne Smith of Chicago just bought herself a house - on eBay. Her winning bid was $1.75. The house is in Saginaw, Michigan and was facing foreclosure. All Joanne has to do now is shop around for a mortgage..........
DEAL....
...OR NO DEAL??? Joanne must pay about $850 in back taxes and yard cleanup costs.
Looks like Clint Black has been hired by Donald Trump. TMZ is reporting the new cast for the upcoming season of 'Celebrity Apprentice,' and once again, a country artist is in the line-up. The site lists Black alongside comedienne Joan Rivers, reality star Khloe Kardashian, basketball bad boy Dennis Rodman, football great Herschel Walker and R&B singer Brian McKnight. If true, Black will not be the first country artist to vie for a position with Trump. Trace Adkins appeared on the first season of the show, and made it all the way to second place before losing out to British tabloid editor Piers Morgan.
