  In the News ~ Troop stories & "Nineteen" on Veterans Day

Taylor Hicks
   On Armed Forces Radio

"Nineteen," the story of a young American hero, will be released to Armed Forces Radio on Veterans Day. Taylor first performed "Nineteen" live in San Diego with men and women from the military in the audience. It was very well received by our soldiers. He dedicates this emotional song to the troops when he performs it in concert. "Nineteen" is from his album, The Distance, out on Modern Whomp Records.

A Hero’s Salute – Staff Sgt. John Beale
This video has been widely shared. It's worth another view.

“Killed in action the week before, the body of Sergeant First Class John C. Beale was returned to Falcon Field in Peachtree City, Georgia, just south of Atlanta, on June 11, 2009. The Henry County Police Department escorted the procession to the funeral home in McDonough, Georgia. A simple notice in local papers indicated the road route to be taken and the approximate time."

The Entrance of the Year in the Picture of the Week by Hootiegal, who clicked at just the right time to catch Taylor as he made a flying leap onto the stage at Epcot Center last week! Congratulations to the admittedly amateur photographer who snapped it like a pro!

"Grease" creator, Jim Jacobs talks about Teen Angel... “Flash bulbs go off when Taylor comes onstage,” Jacobs said. “He’s very funny and he milks it for all it’s worth.” Warning: Do not indulge in the usual Kravis dash at the end of the show. “He also does one of his current hit songs on his new CD after the curtain call,” Jacobs added. Over the years, Jacobs has been kept busy consulting on “Grease” revivals and he still gets a kick out of seeing the show. (Hap Erstein, www.tcpalm.com/news)
