Steve and I went Saturday....it was great seeing him again...he is always so sweet. Got me some good John hugs and some nice pictures....we're sharing my scarf in one (his idea)....I think it is my new favorite pic. He is a wonderful person.... if you all have a chance to meet him do it...you wont be sorry.

Cost depends if the auto show takes some off the top or not... seems like autographed pics at a normal show are about 10-15 each whereas if they take money off the top they can go up to 25 each...that is what they were at comicon.

Here's a couple more:
The Hazzard BBQ- this has become a tradition, though it is much more low key than anything else. This year it will be held the weekend before Memorial Day (May 21?) at Cooter's Place in Nashville. My beau will be grillin up hot dogs and burgers for anyone who would like to come...there will be plenty of GLs, cop cars, food, probably door prizes, etc. Ben "Cooter" Jones....and more than likely Rick Hurst too...will be there so its a great way to meet some stars and some friends....plus eat some great food (not that I am biased in any way).
The Hazzard Run will be Oct 8-9. Basically every kind of Hazzard County vehicle will make tracks from Cooters in Nashville to Cooters in Gatlinburg, ending with a parade of GLs down the main street in Gatlinburg. More details to come, but you dont want to miss this either. Last year, Ben, Rick and Don Pedro were CBing one another the whole route...and of course you have opportunities for autographs, putput and gokarts....I know Steve and I will be attending both with the GL for sure... and Zoe (my Duke lovin cocker spaniel) will be there too.....hope to see you all there

And apparently it's happening again. I'm sorry. I don't blame Tom one bit for being leary of Dukes fans when they do stuff like this to get things or attention for themselves....especially when it is messing iwth his daughter's life. Taylor (the real Taylor) is a nice young lady who happens to have a famous dad. She doesnt deserve to be treated like that...it isn't a compliment to her to be copied...it's trying to be someone they're not...and its just plain sad.
So watch who you befriend...it may not be who you think it is...

If Mr. Rhuebottom had any objections to opening his store up in the middle of the night, he didn't say so, and he certainly didn't complain as Luke handed him the money to pay for the bag of oranges, chocolate and peppermint sticks he had bought.
As he walked out he coudn't help but smile as the church bells rang out signifying the arrival of Christmas. Quickly he got in the General, hurrying for home.
-
Luke swallowed as he looked down upon his sleeping cousin, gently removing the car magazine from his hand and setting it on the table. He then returned to Bo, taking the old quilt Aunt Lavinia had made and covering him gently with it.
The presents were fll beneath the tree, but Luke noticed that, in the midst of everything, no one had thought about the stockings. They hung on the mantle limply, waiting fo Jesse to fill them, which of course he could not.
Biting his lip, Luke grabbed his keys, determined to carry out his uncle's wishes in that respect at least.
-
Daisy leaned her head onto Bo's shoulder, quietly listening to the muffled sobs coming from the boys' room.
It wasn't until late, long after Daisy had gone to bed that Luke emerged, quiet, and red-eyed, but appearing much calmer than before. His pocket bulged a little it evident that he carried the watch with him.
-
Steve and I will most likely be there....although we will have just seen John the week before....poor guy is gonna think I am stalking him....
Wish it was in April or May and we could bring the General....it doesn't do so well on icy roads
It'll be great to see you and Sue, Roger...
-
Luke paled as he saw the contents of the box. Carefully he took out the fob, turning it over in his hand, his breath catching as he sawthe inscription.
Dropping it in the box, he hurried to his room, before he broke down compltely.
-
"Wh-what..." stuttered Luke looking at the box as if something would jump out at him.
Daisy placed it in his hands, with a nod urging him to open it.
Luke swallowed, wiping his teary eyes with the back of his hand before shakily undoing the ribbon and lifting the lid.
-
"Aint...the same..." he choked between his tears. He hated how weak he seemed. He wasn't supposed to cry. He was supposed to be the strong one...the one the others looked to for help...he wasn't supposed to be the one needing help. But now, as he felt the loving embraces of his cousins, he couldn't deny that he needed help somehow.
-
"No...it won't....he...he's gone...he....he's really...gone...." And with those words the tears began to fall.
Daisy wrapped her arms around him too, sandwiching her older cousin between him and Bo.
"I want Uncle Jesse..." whimpered the dark-haired cousin, sounding more like a lost child than the grown man he was.
-
Luke's lip quivered as he heard Bo choke out the words. He could feel the tears coming, but shook his head willing them to stop. "No...no...we...we gotta stop it..." He snapped his fingers. "Christmas carols...we always sang Christmas carols...."
Daisy and Bo looked at one another.
"Cmon...I'll start....silent Night...holy night....all..." His voice started choking missing the soft bass of his uncle's voice. He shook his head trying again. "all is..." He blinked hard. "somethin in my eye...."
-
"No...No I don't!" shouted Luke looking at them incredulously. "Ya go to all this trouble, all these LIES, t' get me t' be happy, well it worked. I am," he began trembling though as he spoke. "What do you WANT from me?! " He turned away from them, doing as he always did when something bothered him and rubbing the back of his neck with his hand.
-
"I aint pretendin! Im happy! I am! Look I got presents.... You wanted us t celebrate Christmas...now Im ready to...I thought you'd be happy! Maybe you did hit your head..." he said with a laugh, putting away his now empty glass into the sink looking out the window as he did. "Heck if it'd just snow everything would be just want Santy Claus ordered."
-
Luke joked happily with everyone. Like Bo, he too hadn't expected to feel this happy...he wasn't even sure why he was...except for the fact that he was trying whereas before he had simply given up.
"I...I owe you both an apology...he started. He took a deep breath. "I...I aint been the support ya needed. Im sorry."
-
"I'll never admit t' nothin'!" said Luke playfully. "Dais, are there any of them Christmas cookies left, or did Bo eat em all?" he asked going into the kitchen.
"Nice make-up job on him by the way Daisy...really helps hide his face," he said with a smirk. He soon was raiding the cookie jar, pulling out a few cookies and then making his way to the cupboard for a glass. "Y'all want some?"
-
Luke smiled a little to himself. "I found him...I found him an brought him home," he said turning. He pursed his lips before quickly pulling Daisy into a hug taking Bo's support away with a chuckle. " I said it before an Ill say it again...you're a horrible actor."
That seemed to set him off again and he started laughing. It was almost like he was making up for lost time.
-
To his surprise Luke laughed out loud, laughing so hard he bumped into the tree sending a chorus of jingle bells sounding which made him laugh harder. "You might as well come..Daisy too....you're a horrible actor by the way, he said with a smirk, as he set the last of the presents under the tree.
-
Their questions were answered as Luke came in, his hands loaded down with bags. "Daisy! Bo! I'm home....stay wherever you are an no peekin!" he ordered as he took gifts out of each bag and set them carefully under the tree. His Santa suit was off now, he having turned it into Boss, but the smile was still on his face.
-
Luke waved back, though his own eyes were filled with tears. He wiped them hurriedly, knowing the other children were waiting and swallowed hard. He had never realized just how bad things had gotten. He certainly had never realized that anyone missed him...and it had felt like no one had even cared. He found himself smiling at the thought that little Tommy missed him. Bo missed him. Heck, Luke missed himself. Maybe...just maybe...it was time to come back.
He thought all of this in a moment, before reaching out for the next child to set on his lap.
-
To say luke was taken aback was an understatement. He was lost for words. He soon found them however as he rubbed Tommy's back in a fatherly way. "That...that's mighty kind of ya, Tommy. I'm sure they'd appreciate that...an I just happen t know they all miss you just as much...especially Luke."
Niagara Falls Concert
in Dukes of Hazzard News
Posted
Roger suggested that those of you who weren't able to attend the concerts in Niagara Falls by Tom and john might like to know a bit about them. I am not a review writer, but I'll try to give you an idea.
First of all though I have to say I originally was only going to the Saturday Show. Then John's mom, wonderful lady that she is, heard I didn't have a ticket for Friday and lo and behold I find my self in the third row both nights, close enough to see Tom's beautiful eyes and john's gorgeous smile...but I digress...
The show lasted about one and a half hours each night. The songs were all great. Of course they did the Dukes theme both nights....and in tribute to Waylon they sung "Luchenbach, Texas". Friday night John assumed kids were allowed in so he tried to think of something he could replace the "firm feeling women" lyrics with. Tom didnt seem to care so much and sung it for him. Tom did some show tunes and ones off his latest album including "When youre a jet," "That's Life", "They're writing songs of love but not for me"....and more. John did more country including "whats a memory like you," "Ive been around enough to know" and the first night he did a request of "who cares" for a couple as it was their wedding song. My personal two favorites were ""Youve Lost that Loving Feeling"- tom really got into this one the first night- and "Baby its cold outside" which as most of you know is supposed to be male/female duet. Tom rewrote the lyrics, although watching them sing to each other, as well as the facial gestures they made during some parts was so hilarious I dont think there was a dry eye in the room. I will see if I can remember the lyrics and post them...
Add to all this the banter (John about Tom's age, Tom about John's women, etc etc etc.) you better believe it was a night I will never ever forget.
I should also add that the second night Tom was not feeling well...his words were "I've only got half a voice but you'll get that half tonight." He ended up leaving the after-party early because he did just that....hopefully he is much better now but kudos to Mr. Wopat and his "show must go on" attitude. Professionalism at its best.
