Insert Joey Lawrence Exclamation Here: WHOA!

More radio stations adding Cookies to their request lists means more chances for folks to hear the tune...which means more fans enjoying the tune and downloading it to their own holiday playlists...and more music during the holidays means more smiling...and more smiling leads to a better mood...and better moods lead to inner peace...which leads to world peace. Soooo, if you would enjoy world peace as much as I would, support Save Your Cookies for Me by clicking your favorite station logo up top and requesting it! ;)

Coming Full Circle...

When I was first hired to perform at Detroit's biggest honky-tonk 5 nights a week (many moons ago), I hit the panic button. Wednesday: You're hired. Saturday: You start. How the *bleep* was I gonna learn the dozens of tunes and lyrics required of me in such a short time??? I mean, I thought I had Terri Clark's 'Better Things to Do' down pat, but Trisha Yearwood's 'What I Like About You' was gonna take some time! Enter CountryTabs.com...my new best friend. I frantically scratched down any country tab they had and created a cheat sheet cache the size of War and Peace. So imagine the grin on my face when I see that a fan from Chicago, Logan M20, submitted a Danielle Car Pretty Please tab to CountryTabs.com! Knowing that someone was sitting at home, figuring out my humble little tune on their axe just warms me right through! Thanks Logan M20, and keep up the great work!

Request 'Cookies' Around the Country!!!

It's crystal clear that I'm incredibly grateful to Clear Channel radio for adding 'Save Your Cookies for Me' to their national request database! That means stations all over the country have made 'Cookies' even easier to request! So, now that Christmas cookie season has finally arrived, I'll make a few to honor the subject matter of my happy lil' tune...do rum balls count as cookies? Somehow 'Save Your Rum Balls for Me' just doesn't have the same effect...

'SAVE YOUR COOKIES FOR ME'

THIS HOLIDAY SEASON!

So, I Was Watching Paula Deen...

...preparing a delicious tilapia with her son Bobby on the Food Network, when I got word that All Access.com had just crowned 'Save Your Cookies for Me' Cool New Music royalty! What to do?! Divert attention from my white-haired butter mistress and check it out or maintain rapt attention to my Georgia Peach and her promise of an upcoming segment on the virtues of pumpkin cheesecake??? I broke out the laptop and did both. **phew** Disaster averted. I spotted my tune canoodling with the likes of new music from Faith Hill and Craig Campbell and I gotta say, it felt pretty good...like warm pumpkin cheesecake on a crisp fall day in Detroit.

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year...

...is baaaaaaaack! 'Save Your Cookies for Me' is making it's way to a holiday station near you...and Santa just told me if you request it, you're automatically on the Nice List (he'll put you on the Naughty List, too, if you're into that sort of thing). Take a listen here!

Austria: The Gift that Keeps On Giving!

It's my favorite time of year in Michigan: the leaves are changing, the cider's chillin', and the good vibes in the autumn air are plentiful. So, I hafta ask, how do you follow up a record setting week for 'Walk of Shame' at #1 on the Austrian radio heavy-rotation playlist? Hit #2 with 'Pretty Please' the very next week! I think I should now print up a bumper sticker reiterating the signature phrase from 'Field of Dreams'..."if you build it, they will come..." If you really put your heart into it and create some great tunes, folks will find 'em (and I couldn't be happier)! Enjoy the crisp autumnal air, y'all, since we know Old Man Winter planning his comeback. Ironically enough, so is my Christmas tune 'Save Your Cookies for Me' (but that's for another blog)...

Thank You, Austria!

Geez Louise, what a wonderful surprise to wake up to! There I was, enjoying a quiet moment with my dear friend Mr. Grande Non-fat Cappuccino, when up popped my inbox with a note from Country Radio Carinzia in Austria. Seems as though "Walk of Shame" has just been voted #1 by the listeners for the week of Oct. 10-16! THANK YOU, AUSTRIA! I will now use Google Translate to express my gratitude...heh hem:

Wir danken Ihnen, das schöne Land mit viel Geschmack in Country-Musik ... und danke für Arnold Schwarzenegger, too!

(Thank you to the beautiful country with great taste in country music...and thanks for Arnold Schwarzenegger, too!)

...what? Come on, you know you still love Kindergarten Cop...

Lovely Line Dancing...

Thought I'd share a couple of great vids that were just sent to me! As you know, I cut my teeth in Detroit's biggest honky-tonk where line dancing and two-steppin' were part of the gig 5 nights a week, so the dance floor always has a special place in my heart. Just knowing these fancy feet chose the 'Walk of Shame' to showcase their talent rocks my ever-lovin' world! Kudos, ladies...yeee haaaw!

Danielle Car-Toons???

When I was a kid, I would've given anything to have been as cute and charming as Smurfette or Lily the Cat from Dumbo's Circus, but alas, I was stuck in the real world with real-world problems. You know, getting ready for school and running out of Aussie hairspray for my waterfall bangs, misplacing my Girbaud jeans, that sort of thing. So now, I'm pleased to announce that coming soon I will indeed be living out my cartoon fantasies via a very talented friend of mine who has immortalized my likeness in my very own Car-toon (here's where the last name comes in handy!)... ...arriving soon right here at daniellecarmusic.com! Eat your heart out, Smurfette...
