RCA Nashville had planned to approach radio stations with a request to play the song, "To Life," a song from his 2005 album, "After All These Years," with the intention of earning one more chart hit, and a historic milestone, for Arnold, who recorded such classics as "Make the World Go Away" and "Bouquet of Roses." Arnold's passing on May 8, just days before his 90th birthday on May 15, brought a special meaning to the effort, and radio honored the man and his music by granting the Country Music Hall of Fame legend the 147th chart single of his career. It was not clear where the song charted. Arnold becomes the only country
artist in history to enjoy chart success in each of the past seven decades. He
also acquires the career distinction of having the longest span of charted
country singles, beginning with "Each Minute Seems a Million Years" on June 30,
1945, and now with "To Life," nearly 63 years later.
Sony BMG Nashville Chairman Joe
Galante said, "He is one of those rare singers whose voice is timeless...his
success on the charts is now the same."
Arnold's grandson, Shannon Pollard,
said, "On behalf of the Arnold family, I would like to thank Joe Galante and his
staff at RCA, as well as country radio, for their support and efforts in
returning Eddy Arnold back to the charts with the single, 'To Life.' This would
be an absolute thrill for him, as it was his last wish to have another hit
song." Pollard also expressed his appreciation for last night's Academy of
Country Music salute to his grandfather, the 1983 ACM Pioneer Award honoree,
adding, "The tribute at the ACMs was beautiful and moving. Thank you very
much."
Initiated by the RCA Nashville
promotion department, "To Life" was made available to radio in its original
version as well as a special edit that included comments Arnold had made in an
interview done for the label at the time of the album's
release.
The Tennessee Plowboy was 87 years
old when his final RCA Nashville album was released in 2005. At the time,
Galante recalled him saying that RCA was his home, and indeed, his passion for
music-making never faded - even recently expressing interest to Galante in
recording yet another album.
Arnold was the Country Music
Association's first Entertainer of the Year in 1967, and in 2005, he was
presented with a GRAMMY Lifetime Achievement Award. In a career with record
sales in excess of 85 million albums, Arnold earned more Top 10 hits (92) and
more consecutive Top 10 hits (67) than anyone in country history. Ranked as
Billboard's number 1 country artist of all time, he also earned 28 chart-topping
singles that collectively spent 145 weeks at number 1 - an accomplishment
unmatched to this day.

'Opry' fights potential wireless interference 'Opry' fights potential wireless interference Fear is plan before FCC might squelch music signal By AMY McCULLOUGH Medill News Service May 19, 2008 WASHINGTON Imagine if Carrie Underwood's induction to the Grand Ole Opry earlier this month had been interrupted by a cell phone signal getting crossed with a wireless microphone, cluttering the performances with unwanted idle chatter. Such scenarios have prompted the Grand Ole Opry, along with other entertainment companies, to lead a charge against a proposal being reviewed by the Federal Communications Commission that would make empty space on the broadcast spectrum available to unlicensed wireless devices. "We know all too well that there is no second chance to re-do a live performance," said Steve Gibson, music director and producer of broadcast audio for the Grand Ole Opry, in a recent statement. "The white spaces proposals being considered by the FCC could turn 'Music City' into a silent city unless they get it right. As it stands, these proposals will not provide critical protection to the wireless microphone systems that are integral to every show." Those "white space" signals, prized for their ability to travel long distances and go through walls, will be made available when the nation makes a transition to digital TV next February. After the switch, broadcasters will occupy channels 2 through 51, but almost half those channels in some cities will remain fallow, especially in rural areas where there are fewer broadcasters. Technology companies, including Google Inc., Microsoft Corp. and Dell Inc., have said low-powered, unlicensed and portable devices such as cell phones, laptops and BlackBerrys can operate safely in the empty spectrum without harming other signals. They say it will provide affordable high-speed Internet and spur innovation. FCC spokesman Robert Kenny said several devices have already been submitted for review, though they are just prototypes intended to help establish technical specifications and were "never intended for commercial use." The FCC is conducting tests to find an efficient and interference-free way to use the spectrum for broadband, but several trial devices have either broken down or failed. Kenny said some additional lab tests may be needed, but the agency will start field-testing soon. "Unlike other natural resources, there is no benefit to allowing this spectrum to lie fallow. The airwaves can provide huge economic and social gains if used more efficiently, as seen today with the relatively tiny slices utilized by mobile phones and Wi-Fi services," wrote Richard S. Whitt, Washington Telecom and Media Counsel to Google, in a March 21 letter to the FCC. Medical devices an issue The Grand Ole Opry recently joined forces with Country Music Television, the Country Music Association and other music industry powerhouses in an attempt to increase its lobbying power against the use of the devices. Noah Black of the Washington consulting firm Harbour Group, which represents Shure, a wireless microphone company, said the music industry has stepped up its efforts to block the use of the wireless devices in recent weeks because of the FCC's decision to allow more testing of prototypes. Medical device makers such as GE Healthcare have also weighed in on the debate, arguing that interference from unlicensed wireless devices could disrupt equipment that monitors patients' heart rates, blood oxygen levels and other vital signs at medical facilities At the same time, the technology companies are pressuring the FCC and Congress to make a quick decision. More than 11,000 comments have been filed on the FCC's Web site since the issue arose in 2004, and more are expected before a decision is made. U.S. Rep. Jim Cooper, D-Nashville, co-sponsored a resolution in the House that urges protection of existing broadband devices but would not set any legal safeguards. "Innovation is great it drives our economy. But so does the performance industry, particularly in Nashville," Cooper said though a spokesman. "So I say bring on new technologies, but before they broadcast on public airwaves let's make sure they're based on sound science." Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

HOUSE
Last Call Y'ALL When I was 17, my mother remarried and moved to Tulsa Oklahoma, leaving me alone to finish my senior year of high school in the little town where we lived (She was only about an hour away and I was very responsible for my age). My girlfriend had decided to stay the night one Saturday, on Sunday morning we woke up and started to have sex. We got very involved and she started screaming very loudly, then we heard the toilet flush in the next room - my mother had come home for a Sunday lunch! When we finally got the courage to come out of the bedroom, my mother was sitting at the dining room table and asked "Did your father have the whole sex talk with you before we got divorced?" He hadn't, but as most kids did at that time we learned in school, I said "No mom, he did not." to which she replied, "I didn't think so, we were married for 28 years and he never made me scream like that!!" See ya sometime tomorrow HEY, DON'T BE A STRANGER NOW,YA HEAR! *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+ Hey, Let's be careful out there *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+ PLEASE Don't take anything you see in the Funnies personally.
