Country Music Hall of Fame Benefit Tonight - Watch Online
Posted: Oct 13, 2009Oklahoma's own Vince Gill has been one of Nashville's brightest lights over the last few decades. He's a top level picker, singer, and songwriter. He has kept traditional country music alive while also extending its musical boundaries.
In 2005 as the museum board president of the Country Music Hall of Fame, Gill created the "All For The Hall" initiative to raise money for this amazing institution. Tonight, Gill will play with headliner Keith Urban at Nashville's Sommet Center in an all star benefit concert.
The great thing is that anyone can watch online at Keith Urban's website.
We hope everyone enjoys this special event. Maybe those who are interested can join the Country Music Hall of Fame. It's only $25.

"But before you leave us, we must demonstrate the power of this station onceand for all, in a conclusive fashion. In a way, you have determined the choice ofsubject for this demonstration. Since you have proven reluctant to supply us withthe location of the rebel stronghold, I have deemed it appropriate to select as analternate subject your home planet of Alderaan." "No! You can't! Alderaan is a peaceful world, with no standing armies.You can't…" Tarkin's eyes gleamed. "You would prefer another target? A military target,perhaps? We're agreeable grow tired of such games. For the last time, where is themain rebel base?" A voice announced over a hidden speaker that they had approached withinantigrav range of Alderaan-approximately six planetary diameters. That wasenough to accomplish what all of Vader's infernal devices had failed to. "Dantooine," she whispered, staring at the deck, all pretense at defiance gonenow. "They're on Dantooine." It was tall, but hardly monstrous. Artoo frowned inwardly as he checked ocularcircuitry and reactivated his innards. UGG Boots Clearance The monster looked very much like and old man. He was clad in a shabbycloak and loose robes hung with a few small straps, packs, and unrecognizableinstruments. Artoo searched the human's wake but detected no evidence of apursuing nightmare. UGG Boots Clearance Nor did the man appear threatened. Actually, Artoo thought,he looked kind of pleased. It was impossible to tell where the odd arrival's overlapping attire ended and hisskin began.UGG Boots Clearance That aged visage blended into the sand-stroked cloth, and his beardappeared but an extension of the loose threads covering his upper chest. Hints of extreme climates other than desert, of ultimate cold and humidity, wereetched into that seamed face. A questing beak of nose, like a high rock,Ugg boots clearance protrudedoutward from a flashflood of wrinkles and scars. The eyes bordering it were a liquidcrystalazure. The man smiled through sand and dust and beard,Ugg boots clearance squinting at the sightof the crumpled form lying quietly alongside of the landspeeder. Convinced that the sandpeople had been the victims of an auditory delusion ofsome kind-conveniently ignoring the fact that he had experienced it also-andlikewise assured that this stranger meant Luke no harm, Artoo shifted his positionslightly, trying to obtain a better view.Ugg boots clearance The sound produced by a tiny pebble hedislodged was barely perceptible to his electronic sensors, but the man whirled as ifshot. He stared straight at Artoo's alcove, still smiling gently. "Hello there," he called in a deep, surprisingly cheerful voice. "Come here, mylittle friend. No need to be afraid." Ugg boots outlet Something forthright and reassuring was in that voice. In any case, theassociation of an unknown human was preferable to remaining isolated in thiswasteland. Waddling out into the sunlight. Artoo made his way over to whereLuke lay sprawled. The robot's barrel-like body inclined forward as he examinedthe limp form. Whistles and beeps of concern came from within. Walking over, the old man bent beside Luke and reached out to touch hisforehead, then his temple. Shortly, the unconscious youth was stirring andmumbling like a dreaming sleeper. "Don't worry," the human told Artoo, "he'll be all right." As if to confirm this opinion, Luke blinked, stared upward uncomprehendingly,and muttered, "What happened?" "Rest easy, son," the man instructed him as he sat back on his heels. "You'vehad a busy day." Again the boyish grin. "You're mighty lucky your head's stillattached to the rest of you." Luke looked around, his gaze coming to rest on the elderly face hovering abovehim. Recognition did wonders for his condition. "Ben…it's got to be!" A sudden remembrance made him look around fearfully.But there was no sign of sandpeople. Slowly he raised his body to a sitting position."Ben Kenobi…am I glad to see you!" Rising, the old man surveyed the canyon floor and rolling rimwall above. Onefoot played with the sand. "The Jundland wastes are not to be traveled lightly. It'sthe misguided traveler who tempts the Tusken's hospitality." His gaze went back tohis patient. "Tell me, young man, what brings you out this far into nowhere?" Luke indicated Artoo Detoo. "This little 'droid. For a while I thought he'dgone crazy, claiming he was searching for a former master. Now I don't think so.I've never seen such devotion in a 'droid-misguided or otherwise. There seems tobe no stopping him; he even resorted to tricking me."

Where the jawas feared everything, a Tusken Raider feared little. Thesandpeople were larger, stronger,UGG Boots Clearance and far more aggressive. Fortunately for thehuman colonists of Tatooine, they were not very numerous and elected to pursue theirnomadic existence in some of Tatooine's most desolate regions. Contact betweenhuman and Tusken, therefore, UGG Boots Clearance was infrequent and uneasy, and they murdered no morethan a handful of human per year. Since the human population had claimed its shareof Tuskens, not always with reason, a peace of a sort existed between the two-aslong as neither side gained an advantage. One of the pair felt that that unstable condition had temporarily shifted in hisfavor, and he was about to take full advantage of it as he raised his rifle toward thelandspeeder.UGG Boots Clearance But his companion grabbed the weapon and shoved down on it beforeit could be fired. This set off a violent argument between the two. And, as theytraded vociferous opinions in a language consisting mostly of consonants, thelandspeeder sped on its way. Either because the speeder had passed out of range or because the second Tuskenhad convinced the other, Ugg boots clearance the two broke off the discussion and scrambled down thebackside of the high ridge. Snuffling and a shifting of weight took place at the ridgebottom as the two Banthas stirred at the approach of their masters. Each was aslarge as a small dinosaur, with bright eyes and long, thick fur. They hissed anxiouslyas the two sandpeople approached, then mounted them from knee to saddle. With a kick Banthas rose.Ugg boots clearance Moving slowly but with enormous strides, the twomassive horned creatures swept down the back of the rugged bluff, urged on by theiranxious, equally outrageous mahouts. "It's him, all right," Luke declared with mixed anger and satisfaction as the tinytripodal form came into view.Ugg boots clearance The speeder banked and swung down onto the floorof a huge sandstone canyon. Luke slipped his rifle out from behind the seat andswung it over his shoulder. "Come round in front of him, Threepio," he instructed. "With pleasure, sir." The Artoo unit obviously noted their approach, but mad no move to escape; itcould hardly have outrun the landspeeder anyway.Ugg boots outlet Artoo simply halted as soon as itdetected them and waited until the craft swung around in a smooth arc. Threepiocame to a sharp halt, sending up a low cloud of sand on the smaller robot's right.Then the whine from the landspeeder's engine dropped to a low idling hum asThreepio put it in parking mode. A last sigh and the craft stopped completely. After finishing a cautious survey of the canyon, Luke led his companion out ontothe gravelly surface and up to Artoo Detoo. "Just where," he inquired sharply, ugg boots clearance "didyou think you were going?" Tarkin sighed reluctantly. "I am a dedicated man, and the pleasures I reservedfor myself are few. One of them is that before your execution I should like you to bemy guest at a small ceremony. It will certify this battle station's operational statuswhile at the same time ushering in a new era of Imperial technical supremacy. Thisstation is the final link in the new-forged Imperial chain which will bind the millionsystems of the galactic Empire together once and for all. Your petty Alliance will nolonger be of any concern to us. After today's demonstration no one will dare toopposite Imperial decree, not even the Senate." Organa looked at him with contempt. "Force will not keep the Empire together.Force has never kept anything together for very long. The more you tighten yourgrip, the more systems will slip through your fingers. You're a foolish man,Governor. Foolish men often choke to death on their own delusions." Tarkin smiled a death's-head smile, his face a parchment skull's. "It will beinteresting to see what manner of passing Lord Vader has in mind for you. I amcertain it will be worthy of your-and of him.
