Ray Stevens in a Town near You...

The latter half of 2011 appears to be a jam-packed time on the road for Ray Stevens...some new tour dates have been announced. For those who hadn't stopped by his web-page yet I'm passing along the concert dates in this blog, too.

Given that the appearances are so far in advance indicates, at least to me, that the appearances have officially been set...but as usual appearances are subject to postponement or cancellation at any time.

A few blogs ago I made mention of an October appearance in Pigeon Forge at the Country Tonite Theatre. Ray will appear twice on the same day...obviously this means two shows. He will do a 3pm and 8pm show on October 21st.

On November 19 Ray will do a show at the Imperial Palace Casino in Biloxi, Mississippi at 8pm. On November 28 Ray will be in Canada! Judging by the traffic of my blog page I've noticed down through the years that those in Canada drop by frequently and if anyone's near Niagara Falls, Ontario on the 28th Ray will be appearing at the Scotia Bank Convention Center on two separate days. The first show will be on November 28th at 7pm and the second show will be on November 29th at 2pm. In late February 2012 he'll be doing a couple of shows in Florida. On February 21, 2012 Ray will be at the Peabody Auditorium in Daytona Beach, Florida. The show is at 7pm and information can be found here. The next day, February 22, he'll appear in Lakeland, Florida for two shows at the Lakeland Center. Those two shows are 2:30pm and 7:30pm and you can get your tickets directly from their web-site here. An additional appearance in Melbourne, Florida on February 23 at the King Center is listed at his web-site but there's not a concert time listed.

In the meantime the "Obama Budget Plan" has gotten 312,384 You Tube views. Budget battles, debt, and deficit issues continue to be at the forefront of the Federal Government reaching a fever pitch the other day when several members of Congress walked out during budget talks and debt ceiling discussions. The Republicans in Congress are willing to raise the debt ceiling if certain conditions are promised (hopefully in writing!) and that no tax increases will be implemented.

Looking elsewhere "Caribou Barbie" has 413,967 You Tube views. "God Save Arizona" is at 754,049 while "Throw the Bums Out!" is close behind with 737,012. "Osama Yo' Mama" has 1,093,379 views and "Mississippi Squirrel Revival" has 1,183,865 views. "Come to the USA" is now up to 5,291,699 views and "We The People" has 4,412,345!
