G’ morning. I’ve been wondering what Danny will be doing for the Country Radio Seminar (3/2-4). I’m sure they will want to promote the new single in his radio interviews. He also performed at an industry luncheon last year. Jan
Jan.Then we should follow that interview.
Steph.Send you a email of my pet friend for Fozzy
TGIF Everyone

Hello everyone!
Nice interview with WPOC.
I just uploaded Nina’s pics on the Friends 4 Fozzy page. It wasn’t easy. She doesn’t like cameras and turned her face away every time that I tried to take a pic. LOL.
Erika.she is a shy dog,very cute
Twitter: pjgvet
Good morning.
Thanks to everyone who sent and is sending in their pet’s pictures. It is so fun to see everyone’s critters
I have a feeling it will be two really good concerts these next two days
And maybe he will spill some important news.
Nice threat Danip.
Twitter: jannworth
So much news we would like to get: has Danny signed on with abigger act to tour? The single? When will he be on AI? More concert dates? When will the next video blog come out? Ladies, do your best to get info this weekend!!
Steph .HI i just you a email I hope you get .I am not sure if I did it right . once again i have to say me and my daughter had a great time on the cruise .Can not wait till next cruise.

Twitter: jannworth
Janice, Ed and I had great fun, too! Danny and the ihearties are so sweet. And the band. Will you being writing a short recap of your special Danny experience? I wish I could have joined you for dinner! It was great meeting you both!
Twitter: jannworth
Have any pictures trurned up of Danny at dinner on the Cruise when he was wearing contacts?
Twitter: pjgvet
Janice must have a group pic and individual pic-he wasn’t wearing glasses that night.
Janice, where are you? Any pics for us?
I think SH newsletter might post the pics of the dinner winners or other events in the newsletter. So watch for that.

Danny was being interviewed this morning by that Reality TV blog–whatever it’s name is. Hopefully something will be tweeted.
Danny in new Country Weekly…
Evening all. Sorry, I don’t have any pets, so can’t post any pictures. Glad to see everyone else can provide friends for Fozzy
. I’m glad to see Danny is performing this weekend. Everyone who is going, please give us some info we can feed on- lol. Geez- I think we are all dying to hear Danny’s new song. I hope it will come out soon!
Hey everyone!
Just saw this on twitter:
And this from @ginascarpa:
Just interviewed @dannygokey. He was so awesome & nice!! Can’t wait for the show at the @MoheganSun Wolf Den!!
Twitter: tonicny
Just had my meet n greet with Danny.I asked about single he said he said he is still in studio. He hopes to have his own line of eyewear by September. Fozzy is on the bus not at the M/G M. 1ill send some photos via phone during concert.
Twitter: steph6449
Just posted a portrait of Nemo, xlgokey’s pet friend for Fozzy.
I c Nina now , awww <3
.
Janice, thanks, did get your email and answered. Glad you had a great time at the cruise, so did I.
.
Toni says Danny is still in the studio, hmm…. They must be recording multiple songs before choosing one?
More information please? What date? Who is on the cover?
I hope he gets national attention–magazines, TV ads.
Ivan had tweeted about being excited to play tonight after being off so long, so I checked if the other band members were tweeting too and I noticed that Mike (Danny’s drummer and tour manager) had just added Jay DeMarcus (Rascal Flatts member….and they are at the same venue tonight as Danny) to his list of (very few) people he follows. Wishful thinking here that there is meaning in that

Twitter: .
Hmm still in the studio..boy you guys are gonna get a lot of horse stories (she hlds her hat down as the breeze of people rapidly leaving the room kicks up)
First picture I’ve seen tonight!
Words from MJ’s that irritate me: sads and cred. Sad doesn’t bother me. Credibility doesn’t bother me. But making sad longer and credibility shorter (to show how cool the person writing is) bugs me.
It’s the way they use them.
It also bothers me when someone writes about how worried they are about an Idol…”fake worry.” They use that as a way to put someone down.
It’s going to be so much fun watching Danny continue being successful. I want to irritate those people who irritate me.
If I could I would buy 70,000 copies of Danny’s next album. I want him to beat his first album sales. They (the posters I don’t like say it can’t be done).
And from the front
I hope Danny sings Boot Scootin’ Boogie tonight. He sings that so well. (He made me like a song I’ve always hated.)
Lurker,
I couldn’t agree more with your take on the mj posters
If it helps I will hypothetically buy 35,000 and you can get the other 35,000 so he beats that record
Now a side view
Tell me if you want me to stop
asics,
Thank you!
I hope Danny will get promo, but I don’t count on that. I am not even upset at the record company about it if they think they can’t afford it. I appreciate what they have already done. The use of the private jet was not a little thing.
I will buy 35,000.
We’re going to beat his debut. 
Please don’t stop!
Don’t stop, asics,
Why don’t people take pictures of the crowd? I want to see if many are there. Are they having fun?
It’s a deal Lurker! Now, we just need to keep
for a $3.99 sale at Amazon 
Still in the studio.Danip
For you Lurker this from Toni’s twitter:
And this from Toni too:
Maybe at that price, some others will buy 35,000.
The numbers poster at MJ’s says multiple buying does not help. I think she is wrong.
Ten of us at 35,000 each.
The MJ worrier about Danny playing there can stop feeling sorry for Danny.
Hopefully the lull in the picture taking means they are getting video!! I admit it…I am a needy fan

I saw that at MJ’s
Steph, this may call for a Danny thread including a report from that “terrible” venue complete with video, pictures of excited fans, and recaps from concert goers raving about the show
Tweet from a fan from NY (not our Toni
):
Concert nights are fun nights. Danny’s concerts are successful.
I wonder if he will have a chance to sell and sign after his show (or if he will be trying to catch the end of RF show if he finishes first).
Twitter: pjgvet
Danip I’ll listen to your horse stories
Love all the pets! From Goldfish to deer to beagles, cats, etc. Hope Danny sees them.
Erika, Nina looks so much different than I pictured her!
Janet, don’t tease us! Which CW issue and what about? The cruise?
Me, too. I don’t care what you write about. The board is more fun when you’re part of the conversation.
Twitter: Owlki
Yeah, I really like the Friends 4 Fozzy page. So much fun to see all the pets!
Pam, which breed Nina looked like on your mind?
Reluctantly, I go to bed. Good night, peeps!
Danip,
Count me as another that would love to hear your horse stories! I love your sense of humor
I dont get it what’s going on MJ’s. I barely get them anyway.
Twitter: pjgvet
Erika, I thought she was a little taller and fuzzier for some odd reason.
NIte!
I have to go watch movie with hubbie. BBL, enjoy concert news! Thanks for bringing the tweets/pics asics!
Many posters there make fun of or ridicule people they don’t like. Today someone was writing about “feeling sorry” for Danny because he probably would not get a good reception at his venue tonight. The “feeling sorry” for someone is another thing they do to try to make it appear someone is not doing well.
Danny is proving them wrong.
Twitter: steph6449
Very possibly if there’s concert media. I’m going to the show tomorrow, so hope to get some pics / video that’s usable.
Lurker.Well it just prove I why cant get them.What a sad little life.
My golden fish is now a official Fozzy buddy.
Twitter: jannworth
Asics, you’re good at scooping up the news on Danny tonight! Good job.
A lot of fans I know are at the casino show tonight. We should get enough goodies to battle back at MJ’s with a Danny thread.
MJBIGBLOG comment warning!!
I couldn’t take the predicting gloom for Danny there this afternoon so I had to post, too. I try to stay a little contained when talking about D over there:
My response:
But as Josie, Pam and Robin will tell you, its a lot better place to visit (MJs) than it use to be. I use to get so mad there I had to stay away. Not anymore. I try to post a bit about Danny when I can make a link to the conversation.
Steph,Have a good time going to Danny’s concert.
Twitter: jannworth
Janet, come back!!! You didn’t tell us what issue and any of the details. (Do you work for a printer and get to see the magazine early? My brother in law always got advance views of Newsweek, etc.)
I wonder when the cruise pictures will be included?
So Danny is still in the studio? How many singles are they recording? I just want him to hit all the big events at the right time.
Steph, its great that you will be at tomorrow’s concert–and its an afternoon one, right? Maybe more info will leak out. Or Fozzy?
Twitter: steph6449
That person who posted the comment at mj’s does not follow country music at all, and probably not Danny. I think all three of the people she named as “maybe” are fine for now. Crystal is too soon to say as far as sales, whether she gets any serious radio play, etc plus the wild card that she claims she wants to move to Nashville. And Kris, has had some successes although his last two singles not so much, and his album sales weren’t that strong most of last year.
.
Was sorry to hear David Archuleta is no longer with Jive though, he does have a very good voice; has grown on me after S7 which usually doesn’t happen. Didn’t read the latest to know if he is still with 19R? Wonder if he would fit somewhere under Universal that has the partnership with 19 for AI10.
Jan.well said
Twitter: steph6449
Jan, lol. If I was a bus stalker, maybe I could stake it out looking for Fozzy sightings

Twitter: BLfolsom
Good evening all, sounds like the concert is going great tonight.
Twitter: jannworth
I loved David A’s Christmas album. I hadn’t bought his debut or the recent ones. But the guy can really sing Christmas music. Very pretty voice. And the album had atypical songs, one in French, one in Spanish. I played those the most. I wish David A. much success.
I hope we get word from Toni about:
1. The size and make up of the crowd
2. Crowd reaction
3. Whether Danny had a merchandise/autograph session after the concert
4. How long was the concert
5. Any new songs????
6. Any news told during the concert (between songs.)
7. Whatever else I’m forgetting.
Danny in new country weekly-George Strait on cover…Page 18-7 Q & A….he is sitting on red brick steps-black pants and shirt-looking gorgeous…
Danny also talked about doing a duet with someone. We don’t know yet who that may be. Country duet albums are coming out for Lionel Richie, Randy Travis, and Brad Paisley. I hope Danny gets to do a duet with Lionel Richie. (It’s okay with me if he duets with the others too.
)
Or maybe Danny is doing a duet with someone for his own album? Maybe his album plus one of the others.
WV is doing new commercials. Danny will probably be on the GOO again. Chuck Norris must like Danny too.
Danny has his glasses line coming out. Rodeo people and casino people like Danny.
So far in 2011, everything is coming up

Jan,
Here is a a tweet with an answer to a couple of those questions:
t
Sometimes I can’t spell. I type something and look at what I have typed, and it is a bunch of gibberish. It’s as though my fingers get started without my mind tagging along.
I’ve taught myself how to spell some words I’ve had trouble with. Believe has lie in the middle of it. I ask myself ‘Would you believe a lie?’
I used to get the e and i wrong in their; then I realized that their is the possessive form of they. So I start they (the the) and finish with ir. Similar and familiar also were difficult, so with familiar I started thinking family liar. Banana is easy–except for knowing when to stop.
My previous post, though, had none of those words. The mistakes I had in it–before proofreading–were many, too many to list. When I tried to reread it, it made no sense. I redid it, but it was so bad, it reminded me of when I was looking for scissors in my refrigerator. One of my ‘what was I thinking’ moments.
Yeah!! I love your videos Steph!! I think you should have plenty of media from these two shows this weekend to make a great Danny thread at MJ’s! I’m NOT just saying that so the poster that “felt sorry” for Danny playing at the Mohegan Sun venue is proven wrong either

Danny is great with Lionel Richie.But I still prefer a girl to do the duet
Looking forward to details from Toni on tonight’s concert. I will also be at tomorrow’s concert and hopefully will have some bits of info to report. I haven’t seen Danny in concert since September so I’m excited.
Here’s a tweet to another concert goer from the blogger that interviewed Danny today (@ginascarpa):
And her response:
Twitter: jannworth
Steph, that reminds me of Sheboygan. Ed and I drove into downtown Sheboygan and approached the theater for Danny’s show from the back parking lot side. What was in the lot? Danny’s bus. Of course my heart always jumps a little bit when we get an expected sight like that. Ed and I agreed that we needed to not park yet –it seemed too stalkerish. We headed to the Lakefront. And came back at a more respectable time.
Asics, thanks for bringing in the news. I really think Danny’s signing after a concert has cemented his relationship with his fans. Once you get to see him up close, he looks you in the eyes and thanks you for your support, how can you not want to see again and wish him great success? Especially after a great concert experience? New fans always seem blown away. I see/hear a lot of “wows”!
Jan
Not sure what “his flavor” refers to….unless it is his Puerto Rican dance in “I Still Believe”?
I need an edit button so I can group my comments and not have SO many posts….
Twitter: jannworth
Lizzy, its so cool that you get back to a Danny show. Six months? Too long! It’s sold out, right?
Have fun with Steph and Toni and Amy and Emily and Carrie and Jen R and Tonya and Lisa and whomever else that will be there.
Jan
asics,
Lots of posts are good. Looks better on a Danny thread to have lots of posts.
Twitter: jannworth
Do you remember when ihrt use to track the people with the most posts in a month? It was almost embarrassing to make the top of the lists…..
Sometimes I put in my
(two cents) just to add to the post count. 
Twitter: .
good to see the tweets coming out from tonight. I disregard the worriers as they really aren’t.
Since you all asked, I will give you a little taste of life with the horses of P.
First episode : “On the road again”
Our first property that we kept the horses at home sat on a State Hwy, and it was a warm summer night . Because the night was cooler the horses were turned out at night in the pasture. On this particular night final check was done about 10:30 and all was fine and off to bed we went. Some hours later we hear a banging on the door and being leery I bring the dog with me to the door and peer out. I see a shadow and then a man’s voice asking “Do you own horses? ” I’m thinking okay guys drunk , but answer him yes. He responds “well there are two horses trotting up an down the hwy”. Ok I can’t repeat the words I used but Shoot and Darn aren’t quite them , I am in my pajamas with no shoes, but I take off out of the door . It is pitch black out there (State decided to save money) but you could hear this Clip Clop Clip Clop Clip Clop moving up and down the blacktop and then you could see this ghostly shadow emerge in the headlights of the visitors truck. The big grey gelding was leading the way like a knight’s steed less a rider with the palomino gelding riding his tail out of the darkness. When he saw the lights, he turned and nickered as if to say “ Bout time” they followed the driveway back to the gate and into the pasture and went back to eating grass like it was another day. Guy turns to me and say “guess they got lost” climbed back into his truck and left. To this day I still don’t know who he was but I did say hello to my first gray hair and many more joined them along with double chains on the gate .
Btw no blacktop was harmed in the making of this story
Next episode “The tale of the Voguing horse “
I was reading then but not posting. There was one poster who was almost always at the top. She used to beg for her name not to show because she didn’t want her husband to see how much she was online. People might have thought she was joking. I think she might have been serious.
(She doesn’t post here now. That was a long time ago.)
I would not post much if a list was still showing. It’s sort of like a list of who ate the most donuts or something. Not one I want to be at the top.
Yeah Jan….I remember that! I am very glad they stopped that once I started posting (just a coincidence….I promise I did not pay off our moderators
)
So happy for you Lizzy….a Danny show is long overdue for you!! Have a blast!
Twitter: jannworth
I didn’t mind seeing my name at the bottom of the top posters, but if it got too high on the list, I’d have to bait Pam to get her above me on the list
again…..
Twitter: jannworth
G’night all! I’ll catch you all in the morning!
If I know Toni, she’ll stop in in the wee hours to give us some scoop on the concert. And then she’ll be up at 6AM looking at her videos to see if the hotel can load them on Youtube….
Right Toni?
I just read this tweet from Amy (the girl whose pictures of Danny on stage were posted from tonight), and I can’t figure out what she is referring to:
Do you think Danny is backstage at Rascal Flatts? Or maybe he has Fozzy backstage? I’m a pretty good sleuth but this one has me stumped…help?
I enjoyed your story, Danip. Was it a “story,” fiction you made up to entertain us, or was it true?
This part I read wrong at first. I read
.
You don’t sound as though you have gray hair.
I loved the story too Danip….I was also wondering if it is true? Keep them coming!
I think this is a picture from the meet and greet?
Twitter: BLfolsom
Lurker, that’s to funny looking for sissors in the fridge; sounds like something I’d do
Jann, interesting point about the auto line and Danny doing a face to face with his fans…and yes, it does make you want to see him again and again.
Lizzy, so glad your going to a concert tomorrow – of course we are expecting details, details, and more…..details!
I was in In and Out Burger tonight picking up some food for my sick daughter when all-of-a-sudden this lady came and sat by me waiting for her order. We struck up a conversation and wouldn’t you know it, she was from Wisconson and she just moved here to the Phoenix area 4 months ago. Well, all I needed to hear was the word “Wisconson” and what do you think my mind went to….that’s right, cheese!! No just kidding, I told her my favorite American Idol of all time came from Wisconson. She said “who?” I said Danny Gokey! She remembered then and asked if he was the one whose wife died of cancer, of course I told her it was heart problems (I don’t know the exact ailment). I proceeded to tell her that if she ever, ever , ever gets a chance to see him in concert go!! She said that was good to know.
I felt so good, like…I did my Gokey duty for the day 
I think Miss Lisa is Miss Lucky!
Twitter: steph6449
Oh, the creepy post counter
Yes, we were happy to see that go bye-bye
Twitter: steph6449
Just posted Shellie’s Opry photos and story of attending the Opry for the first time, when Danny was performing.
Twitter: .
I assure you all that these stories are all true ..you can’t make this stuff up, I have had a lot of laughs in the last 30 years.
Hee the gray hairs aren’t in the majority yet but they are no longer the miniority they once were
We are all one big happy family.
Twitter: steph6449
Billie, sorry, I’m not sure how to get the photos off your phone to send us. Maybe a techie friend could help you?
Twitter: BLfolsom
oops, “Wisconsin” sorry for the typo
Hi everyone! I haven’t posted in a while, but I visit this site every day to check in on the latest Danny news. SOOOO excited to hear about Danny getting that philanthropic award…he is making a name for himself on so many levels. He’s not your average musical artist…he’s so much more. He will always be my favorite AI alum and my favorite singer.
Twitter: steph6449
Danip, thanks for the horse story. Can’t wait for the next installment
Twitter: BLfolsom
Steph, I’ll have to snatch a teenager, that’s not one of my kids, and ask them.
I think I might have to go to bed, night all
Twitter: steph6449
Hi Cindy
Nice to see you here posting, hope all is going well for you?
Thanks, Steph! I’m doing fine…I finally got a job after losing mine almost a year ago. I’m now the midday news announcer at News/Talk 1440 WROK in Rockford. It’s very part-time, but it’s a job and I’m thankful!
Twitter: pjgvet
Finished watching movie with hubbie
Danip; great story, keep em coming when we need them
Beatrice-you too can kiss Danny if you want
He won’t kiss fans but will let any one kiss him on the cheek- go for it! Its not my style, but plenty of fans have done it (the guilty parties here shall remain nameless, lol!). I witnessed a double team kiss once 
And Lizzy- now if people are brazen enough to kiss Danny, hug Danny, wrap both arms around Danny- you can go through the auto line and shake his hand, right? Maybe Steph can give moral support
Hope we do get some media from the concert
Twitter: pjgvet
Hi Cindy
Congrats on your job! I was just thinking about you today, because I saw you posting on Twitter.
Janet- Thank you for the CW news! Can’t wait to pick up the issue. Maybe someone can scan it for us too.l
Twitter: steph6449
Cindy, that’s great
Cindy Swanson .It’s my first time seeing you post.I am happy for all Danny fans’ good new.
news.
Pam, I don’t know who you could be referring to about kissing Danny in the cheek. who did that…..and more than once?
(I hope Kathy in PA doesn’t see this)
