WQYK INTERVIEWS DIERKS IN VEGAS

WQYK Morning DJs, Randy and Dave (Tampa, FL) were reliving their Dierks Bentley and Trace Adkins video interviews on the air yesterday, from last week in Vegas before the ACM Awards. Dave was talking about Dierks walking up at the end of Trace's interview and how they both gave DB a hard time about his pants. So my husband called in to comment:

SC: Hey, love you guys but listen if you're gonna be dissin' Dierks, you gotta at least play his new song.

Dave/WQYK: I'm not dissin' Dierks! Did you see the video?

SC: Yeah. He's a good guy; he's a man, not a pretty boy--ever see him play hockey? He could whip Trace Adkins with one finger.

Dave/WQYK: Yeah, he's a bad ass; he'd probably slice Trace's knee with his skate blade.

SC: Yeah, we were gonna start a campaign called "a dollar for dierks" so we could buy him a new pair of pants.

While on the phone with Randy and Dave, my husband confessed to them that he was actually of fan of theirs--go figure. And so is the DB Congress. Thanks WQYK for all the Dierks love!

Go to WQYKTV.com to watch the Trace and Dierks interviews: Trace here (with Dierks at the end) and Dierks here.

So, Dave, now can you play "Up On The Ridge?"

Thanks!

DIERKS & WQYK AT SEMINOLE HARD ROCK - FEB. 6TH

Originally scheduled to be pool-side, Dierks Bentley performed live inside Floyd's on this 32 degree Florida morning, at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Tampa from 7-9 a.m. Audience members earned a seat by serving as Partners in Hope for St. Jude's Children's Hospital. WQYK broadcast the event live and Charley Belcher from FOX13 was also there filming live for tv.

Your very own DB Congress Chair and webmaster brother Tony enjoyed the performance, and meet and greet experience. Click here to see Tony's dbc.com original video of the entire event including interviews in between songs not shown on FOX 13.

In between photos with fans, Dierks treated us to some old and new songs, in no particular order: Free and Easy, Last Call, Come a Little Closer, What Was I Thinking, I Wanna Make You Close Your Eyes, Sideways, Life On The Run, and capped it off with Feel That Fire.

My turn for a photo...he gave me a hug and I asked if he had seen the dbc.com website and he said no but he had heard about it. I gave him a vistaprint business card with the web address and he said "wow-something I said got quoted and turned into something huge" or something like that. He seemed impressed. Can't wait to see if he comments when he finally gets time to see this site!Check out the pictures from the WQYK broadcast and concert with Dierks Bentley.

Hey Ronna,

I was meaning to tell you how impressed I am with the new website! It looks awesome! I spent a good amount of time perusing it the other day when you sent me the link. It looks good, and it's easy to navigate. I love how it's straight forward, has great info, and not bogged down with clutter. The colors... everything. TOP NOTCH!!

I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it Friday morning. It's kinda early for this night owl...But, I hope it's unforgettable for you guys!
