Yep its true Brooks & Dunn Fans I saw and read about it this morning in my local newspaper; here's one of the many articles posted online about it http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20297176,00.html NOT A REFERRAL LINK................[u][/u] I was so fortunate to have met these wonderful guys, many times before my car accident, those two are the kindest, sweetest two men you'd ever want to meet, they would and "do" so much for us fans its just unreal. God Love them! I hope they get a nice long rest, they deserve it, and whatever each of them do next I wish them both all the very best. I know we've not seen or heard the last of them, ( maybe as a duo ), but I know they will continue to write and sing; The first time I met them I was so tongue tied I felt like an absolute idiot, the biggest "boob" on the planet but what can I say? One look into Ronnie's Eye's just had me all weak-knee'd...LOL!!! I love their music, do you?? Have any of you out there in mylot land got to go and see BROOKS & DUNN?? get to meet them? Have your picture taken with them? and no I'm not posting and sharing mine...LOL! BLEH! HURL HURL (at myself)... I was mega-sunburned I mean LOBSTER-SIZED from being out in the sun so much down at Fan_fair...BURNT TO A CRISP!!! so again no I'm not sharing my photo's of them and me together sorry...(EG)!!!

Wow, We're just hearing all sorts of news in the country music world today. My husband and I just saw a discussion (he saw it first) about Miley Cyrus not really being named Miley at birth but Destiny Hope instead. With her name change she added Ray... so it's Miley Ray. In any case, wow their breaking up? So sad! So sad indeed! I like them!

HI SomeCowgirl: Yeah it was really sad when I heard this about them but I wish them both all the very best in whatever they continue to do; I hadn't seen that discussion but I do remember that when she was born that her name was Destiny Hope, and then when she became more and more famous with the show on Disney , Hanna Montanna....anyway when they kept calling her Miley Cyrus I was like HUH?? WHO?? when the heck did they change her name you know?? Years ago when I was healthy and going to TN for Fan fair and stuff I had got to meet Billy Ray a few times when he first got famous he was so cute, and shy LOLOL!!! I still Like him as a singer, and he does really good at Acting too, I hope his daughter, Miley has her head screwed on straight and doesn't let all this fame and fortune go to her head so many young people out there just GO NUTS!! And ruin their lives; But yeah I too will always love Brooks & Dunn and wish them all the very best in whatever adventures they do, just hope (we the public) hear about them you know?

I am so sorry to hear they are giving it up. They were so good. I wish them both the best. It sounds like you had a great time. I have never been to see them live.

HI Thoroughrob: Yeah it saddens me too!! Love love love B&D!! OMG! My friend and I had so much fun when we used to go to concerts and to TN, to Fanfair for several years, they call it something else now can't remember what they changed it too; But yes we got to meet them 3 or 4 times maybe more we used to belong to their fan club too...LOL!! I miss those days of doing something "fun" and having money to do something fun...PFFTTT!!! I've not been to anything since the car accident in 1996 it sucks!!! Yeah I do wish those two wonderful men the very very best for them; They always stayed no matter how exhausted they were from the shows to stay and sign each fan's autograph and get their photo's taken with them that's another thing that really really impressed me about them; They loved their fans and they still do;

I do like a lot of their music. I'm sorry to hear their calling it quits but I'm sure there are other things they'd like to do with their lives other than perform and tour. At least their music will be around forever. [b]~~I AM WHO I AM~~ **STANDING STRONG IN MY BELIEFS**[/b]

This is a really good discussion,and I am sure that everyone loves music,and I am sure that a lot of people are fans of Brooks and Dunn,and I really like their music and they are an awesome duo,I am really sad to hear that they are breaking up because it is a mega loss to the country community,I like a bunch of their songs,and no I have not had the pleasure of seeing them in concert even though I am sure it would be an awesome time, and I have not met them or had my picture taken with them,even though I am sure that would be awesome as well,I just hope they continue to write and sing even if it is not together because they are both very brilliant,have a great day,good luck with your life and all of your mylotting goals,and Happy Posting.

Yeah they do deserve some rest,and everyone should spend time with their families especially since Christmas is coming up,and hopefully they will still make CD's and even if they are not together I will still be fans of theirs because they have a lot of talent otherwise they would not have made it as far as they have,and they have a lot of hit songs and a lot of fans.

Hi Jan! It's good to see you again! I've been missing you here lately. I sure am sorry to hear that B&D are breaking up. They were such a good duo. I guess they need the rest, though. Kix Brooks is such a good singer. I wish I could think of the name of that song they do that I like so well. It's about Old Man Rigley. You probably know the one I'm talking about. That's such a good song. No, I never have seen them in concert or met them. I bet they were good in concert, though. I heard Reba McEntire talk about them one time. I think she has worked with them because she was going on about how cute they were, etc.! It was so funny! Kathy.

Kix ( the black haired hat wearing cowboy) can and does sing good, he has several songs to where he sings the "lead" but yes that tall cool drink of water aka ( Ronnie Dunn) is the one that sets my old heart to thumping really hard...ROTFL!!!!! AND TO STUTTERING, WHEN up close to him....(sigh)!!

I guess I got them mixed up. I guess I like Ronnie Dunn the best. He's a good singer. I also like "My Maria". I have the record of that with B.W. Stevenson singing it. He was the one who wrote that song. That particular record was popular when I was a freshman in college. Kathy.
