A Little Bit O' Country

Prairiesta Weekend!!!! In Light of this weekends festivities, I thought I would share with you one of my favorite country artists.  To get you started, Prairiesta is a four day festival that only happens every ten years.  This year they are celebrating 150 of Prairiesta.  Prairiesta started in 1871 and hasn't stopped since.  If you want to know more about it, the website will be posted at the bottom of this post.  I have pictures that I am putting up of the Parade and the Reenactment camp site.  Hope you like them.  You can find them on my facebook page. facebook.com/pianomaster88

The first country singer to win American Idol, Carrie Underwood grew up in the small town of Checotah, OK, and began singing with her church at the tender age of three. Throughout her childhood, she also performed at functions for the Lion's Club and Old Settlers Day, eventually grading to festival gigs in several states. Along with developing her singing, Underwood learned to play guitar and piano. She graduated from high school as her class salutatorian and majored in mass communication at Northeastern State College with an eye on a career in broadcast journalism, but continued her singing career throughout her studies.

She has become such an amazing artist and her music speaks to you.  One of my favorite songs by her is call Jesus Take the Wheel.
