Garth to kick off big radio seminar here
Looks like Garth Brooks and country radio are still sittin’ in a tree, K-I-S-S…. Well, you get the idea.
The recently un-retired Garth has announced he’ll be in Nashville March 5 to kick off the annual Country Radio Seminar, which brings country radio programmers from around the country. WSIX morning man Gerry House will be at the hotel to “interview” Garth in front of the other radio folks.
That could be a thank-you to country radio, which gave him the very first debut No. 1 single in radio history with his recent More Than a Memory song. Oh, but that’s not all. The hit tumbled down after its No. 1 open, but climbed all the way back up to No. 2. (That would’ve been odd if the same song hit No. 1 twice in a year, wouldn’t it?)
Looks like the radio love affair continues — Garth has a duet with Huey Lewis on the song Working for a Living, and after four weeks (mostly during Christmas season) the song already is at No. 31.
