Doris Day with Charlie Daniels

In my 35 year radio career I have had the opportunity to talk with many country artists. Charlie Daniels has a special place in my heart. He reminded me of Santa Claus when he was not wearing his cowboy hat. He was such a sweet soul who loved The Lord Jesus and was not afraid to tell you so. He was a great supporter of our military and loved our country.  I had met him many times and when I came to KIX 101.1 the first artist I saw was Charlie Daniels.

This was the first picture taken of Charlie and I and my son Brandon. It was taken backstage at the Northern Wisconsin State Fair in Chippewa Falls

Peg 4/22/2025

Our KIX CRITTER OF THE WEEK IS PEG!! She described as the "The Goodest Dog on the ARL website!

Peg is a 1-year-old lab mix with a heart full of energy and legs made of springs—she can jump as high as 6 feet! This lively girl is looking for an active family that can keep up with her adventurous spirit. She’s always ready to play and explore, making her the perfect companion for outdoor activities.

Peg is dog-friendly, so if you have a dog at home, a meet-and-greet will be required to make sure they’re a good match.

Peg is a bit cautious around men, especially those wearing hats or hoodies, she’s a sweet and loving dog who will warm up with time and patience.

Her adoption fee of just $75, because she is our KIX Critter of the Week,  covers her spay, vaccines, microchip, and heartworm test. If you’re looking for a high-energy, fun-loving companion who will bring joy and excitement into your home, Peg might just be the perfect fit for you!

The List for Monday, April 21st 2025

Welcome to The List,

Morgan Wallen just dropped the tracklist for his new album I'm the Problem—and surprise! He wrote 22 of the 37 songs. Yup, thirty-seven. Man’s working harder than a coffee machine on Monday! He’s got his first-ever collab with a woman—Tate McRae—and some familiar voices like Post Malone, Eric Church, Hardy, and Ernest. It’s already breaking records before it's out May 16th, and his tour kicks off June 20th in Houston. This thing’s about to explode like a beer can in a bonfire!

Aaron Rodgers says football’s not the only drama in his playbook—he’s got personal issues stealing the spotlight. On The Pat McAfee Show, he spilled that life’s been “interesting” since the Jets said buh-bye in February. These days, he’s lifting weights, soul-searching, and spooning with his dog, Apollo. As for retirement? He’s not ruling it out, saying, “I’m open to anything, attached to nothing.” Translation: he might throw one more pass... or start doing yoga in the woods with Shailene again.

-----

The Daily Mail says Johnny Depp might be swash bucklin’ his way back into that eyeliner and rum breath as Captain Jack Sparrow in a brand-new Pirates of the Caribbean flick! Disney’s reportedly close to sealing the deal—yeah, even with all the past drama. Word is, the script’s done and this is a full-on reboot. Translation? More Jack. More chaos. And probably way more guyliner.

-----

Brooks & Dunn will be honored the night before the 60th ACM Awards during the "Play Something Country" gala.  Eric Church . . . Cody Johnson . . . Megan Moroney . . . Keith Urban . . . and Lainey Wilson will all be on-hand performing renditions of Brooks & Dunn's biggest hits.

You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight.  Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
