ACM Awards Tonight - Hebner Brothers Birthday

For my fellow country music fans out there, I'm certain you already know that tonight is the night for The Academy Of Country Music Awards. The show is live on CBS at 7pm, Central Time. Dianna and I were honored to attend The ACM Award show in 2000 at Univeral Studios in Los Angeles. Talking about a great time that we will always remember, that was it! I'm going to take a chance here and make PERCY'S PREDICTIONS for the winners. My choices are in italics.

Before I close for today, my wishes go out to two of the finest gentlemen I have ever met in professional wrestling. Today is David and Earl Hebner's birthday. Of course, Dave and Earl are still with WWE. David as a road agent, and Earl as Senior Referee. I love these guys like brothers.

Take care!
