Hi all!

My sister got me into the Dixie Chicks several years ago. However, I've only

seen their documentary and concert DVD. There are two reasons a Dixie Chicks

concert is my life's "to do" list: first, incredible music from three very

beautiful and talented women (and their equally talented and hard working band),

and secondly, the incredible loving energy of their fans. The cheer of Dixie

Chicks fans is like an electric current.



Will they ever tour again? They've done it so long, I would understand if they

want to move on in their lives. But that being said, I can't imagine something

they put so much work and passion into would just fade away. The emotional highs

and lows of that kind of life would be hard to leave for most people. I hope

they are not relegated to the bins of CD stores.



I really can't imagine what it must be like standing on stage at the end of a

show and feeling all that love and appreciation you do for a living. After all,

if you work at IBM, no one gets on a microphone on your floor and introduces

you, "...and on left desk, John C......!!!"

But with families now, I imagine the logistics of a tour would be almost

unbearable. I've worked on concerts before and the saying about details is true,

"when the list is endless, your end is listless."



I sure hope they find the reasons to tour again.

Peace from within......and a warm cookie couldn't hurt either....

Bands usually tour in the wake of the release of a new album - at least,

that is the traditional model. I am not sure if the Chicks are currently

working on an album though I would love that. It's been a couple of years

since their last album.



As to touring with families, they take their families on tour with them --

lock, stock and barrel -- and allow their band members to do the same thing

from what I've heard. So, while a tour can be disruptive, aside from school

schedules etc. it should not be overly disruptive. That said, for now they

may still wish to focus on their family lives rather than on putting out

albums and going on tours. Emily got divorced from Charlie not too long ago,

they had 3 kids together, suspect that that has left some marks in their

personal lives.



I've seen the Chicks live twice - it's an experience you won't easily

forget, so keep your ear to the ground.



(Nat / Emy / Martie: I know you're lurking - now go out and put out a new

album already, will ya !?)

It would be great if they would tour agian. Seeing them in concert and

getting to meet them is on the top of my list. It would be so cool if

that would happen. As for a new album, I haven't heard anything about

it either. I hope that they do make another one. I know that Natalie

and Emily's oldest kids are at shcool age, so I'm sure that if they

were to tour again, it would have to be during the summer, when the

kids are not in school. Cati

Good evening everyone:



To celebrate Independance Day, and to honor America and our service men

around the world and our veterans, I created this video, inspired by the

wonderful national anthem rendition by the Dixie Chicks at the 2003 Super

Bowl. The video was created by Bank of America / military.com. I stripped

the cheezy midi music, put in the Dixie Chicks vocals, and added my own

orchestral arrangement.

You may remember I did something similar last year. This time I decided to

stay with the originals vocals by the Chicks - ain't nothing like the real

thing.



Enjoy!



Peter
