CMA Attendance Up

Mike Sudhalter  |  June 17, 2009

Even though the economy is bad, it's good to see that CMA Festival numbers are up. It really speaks to the dedication and loyalty of country music fans.

My post-CMA Festival experience hasn't been so great. I'm still waiting for luggage to arrive almost four days later. At least, I've got all of my pictures and everything from the festival. It was a great time and I can't wait to go back next year.

Thanks for being patient, y'all. The Top 20 States For Country Music will resume tommorow, as promised.

Right now, I'm headed out to see independent phenom Corey Smith. He'd better sing "Every Dawg" this time.
