One of my favorite kinds of musical genres is bluegrass. Ever since I was a kid, I loved the sound of a banjo, mandolin, Dobro and fiddle. And, when you put them all together--it's magic. Country music is also one of my favorite musical genres. So, ...

When I think about bluegrass/country crossovers, Alison Krauss is a singers I think of immediately. She not only has a solo career, but she is the main part of Alison Krauss and Union Station (AKUS). She began her solo career in 1985 and in 1987 her "Too Late To Cry" album was released ...

When you think of great banjo players, he's at the top of the list. In my eyes, nobody can top his banjo playing skills. So, I was definitely saddened to hear of his death. He was de

She's at it again. My Chihuahua Mia is singing. I brought you a video a few months back of her singing to Miranda Lambert (click the link to watch it). Well, this time, she's singing to "Because of You" the Raba and Kelly Clarkson version and "Before He Cheats" by Carrie Underwood.

With the year coming to an end in just a few short day, I decided to share on of my favorite viral video of 2011. I have not posted this video previously because I wanted to wait until it was closer to the end of the year. So, in the video is a a guy dancing. He's got some pretty great moves.

Mia really likes to sing. Her favorite musical genre: country. Whether it's Reba, Martina, Taylor or Miranda, Mia loves to sing.

Does your dog sing?
