There are times when songs come along that really hit me, but for some reason don't make it up the traditional radio charts. This is one of them.
It's called "Hard Time Movin' On" by David Bradley.

I was born and raised in LaVista. While getting my degree in Architecture, I fell into radio by accident and never looked back.
Over the years, I have been very fortunate to meet some great people and artists. Radio is an amazing ride. I am very fortunate to be part of the life.
My wife Jen and I have two wonderful children. When they aren't keeping us busy, you can find me doin' my thing as the public address announcer for the Omaha Lancers hockey team.
Thanks for checking out my page, and thanks for listening to Kat 103.7!

Every day at 5, we roll out a few high-energy tunes for the ride home. We call it the 5 O'clock Stomp.
The 5 O'clock Stomp was born out of my former sax-playin' self when I gigged with the Prairie Cats. The Cats are a hot, not-so-little, 7-piece, swing/jump blues group that you'll find playing quite frequently around Omaha.
Check out the Prairie Cats here in their den ...

NEW NEWS!
Eric Church is heading into rehearsals this week for his first headlining arena tour. He is cranking up the production of the show. However, the music will not play second fiddle. It will be just as loud as usual. Rumor has it that the powers that be are trying to get him back to the Omaha area for another show. Nothing is confirmed yet. Keep your fingers crossed.
Tim McGraw's final album for Curb Records is set to be released on January 24th. We are playing his new song "Better Than I Used To Be" on Kat 103.7. The 12-track CD is called "Emotional Traffic".

LOST TORTOISE FOUND!
Back on July 12th, I posted that this beautiful tortoise had been lost near Gretna. It has been found ... almost 2 months later! Check out the great story below.
She's an African Sulcata Tortoise approx 30lbs in weight and approx 11" wide and 14" from head to tail.
She went missing on Friday July 8th near the Northeast corner of 180th and Highway 370 in Gretna. She can move pretty fast so she could be anywhere.
Here is the story of her homecoming:
Most of you know that Tortallina, my African Sulcata Tortoise, is back home safe and sound!!! She went missing on July 8th and yesterday, August 30th, a nice couple found her and called me. It is truly a miracle as we had exhausted all ways of trying to find her. They included signage, going door to door, search parties, scent tracking dogs, newspaper ads, neighborhood association emails, facebook alerts, and a one time annoucement on Kat 103.7 by EJ (a DJ) and a picture of her on his website with my phone number. That one little picture led to our reunion!! The Fischers (the couple who found her) posted about her on facebook and someone directed them to the Kat 103.7 website!
Mrs. Fischer called me yesterday evening and we went straight there. I instantly started bawling and jumped out of the truck before it had even came to a complete stop! It seriously felt like a dream and I was in total shock! We had been trying to accept the fact that we were probably never going to see her again and with harvest season and winter coming we were full of dread. I thought about her daily and ALWAYS looked for her when I was driving or in our yard.
Here is a satellite map of the area we were dealing with while searching for her. It also shows the area near where she went missing from (A) to the area near where the Fischers found her (B). SO CRAZY!!!! She made it across 370 and was almost 2 miles from home! I wish she could talk so she could tell us about her travels and experiences....... (Copy and paste the address below if the link doesn't work)
I would like to say thanks to all my facbook friends and everyone who shared her story, kept an eye out for her, prayed for her, and supported us! Special thanks to Elise, Scott, Joni, Brynda, Austin, Greg, Tom, Ahleeya, Joe, Amber, Kyle, Tiffany, Troy, Russ, Katie, Sherri, Kelly and her husband who braved the vicious attack poodles, Karin and her search dogs, Alma for giving me her contact info, our neighbors, everyone at Rolo's party for helping and putting up with the craziness, Amanda T for emailing Tiburon, my herp friends James D and Michelle V, my mom, and all the peeps that let me put up signs! VERY SPECIAL THANKS to Tom and Brynda for the Kat 103.7 hook up, EJ from Kat 103.7, and the Fischer Family!!!!!
All of your help means the world to us!!!

ERIC CHURCH STIR COVE
Here is a very cool photo of the crowd at the Stir Cove for Eric Church.
Last night was quite a show. There is a film crew in town shooting both shows for an upcoming Eric Church DVD.
Eric played for almost 3 hours. First, he played all the hits. Then he followed it with the "Chief" album in order for the video. He will do something similar during the Friday night show.
