Toby Keith has been a pretty successful business man. His Country career is going great, he owns his record lable, his line of bar/restaurants continues to grow, he owns a golf course, and a line of tequila. Now he's talking about starting a line of clothes for the everyday man. Jeans, button down shirts, that sort of thing. Toby says he's been looking into doing this for about year, even picked out a factory where he said he could employ about 200-300 people. Only problem, he says he can't get his expenses down to where he can be competitive. He's a smart guy and usually gets what he wants. Never count Toby out. Read more about this venture here.
Dave Taft
Dave in a Nutshell Wow, a bio section. They want me to be able to sum up my whole life in this one little section. Sad part is I won't even use all the space they have allowed. My love of Country Music comes from my father. Who, despite my many years in Country Radio, is still the expert in my family. The song he used to hook me, was George Jones "The One I Loved Back Then." However, I was just beginning to learn to drive so I didn't understand why anyone would choose a woman over a Corvette. I get it now. It's always nice to give Dad a call when I meet one of his favorites. I'm not usually a quiet guy, but found myself speechless when I got the opportunity to meet Don Williams. Ronnie Milsap was just incredible, and Randy Travis is very talkative, especially if you ask him about meeting Andy Griffith (remember the two Matlock appearances.) Outside of the radio station you may find me in a lot of different places. I'm usually knee deep in a home improvement project (or two.) I'm not an expert in any way shape or form, but I'm willing to try most anything before I call in the professionals (or something goes BOOM!). I love football, both college and pros. I have a dirt bike and golf clubs, but don't use them as much as I'd like. I guess we all have things that we can't get to.
