Singing

Missouri State Fair Idol is back!  We're looking for the best singers in the area to compete in the Missouri State Fair's annual singing competition, and this year, we're letting our listeners decide who moves on to the competition!

Singing competition shows have been popular for decades, and they've proliferated all over the TV dial since 'American Idol' debuted over a decade ago. But don't expect to find one playing on Brian May's set anytime soon.

For the last 10 years, six of those in Sedalia, I have played the National Anthem each morning before the show.  It is generally not something I point out nor do I put a lot of pomp and circumstance around it.  I just play it.  Last week, a friend of mine contacted me to tell me that she used my show as a history lesson. It seems her cousin who is in 6th grade didn't know what our National Anthem

For millions of fans, Jimi Hendrix's musical legacy is beyond reproach -- but he wasn't above a little criticism from his father Al, who reportedly thought he would have been better off finding a different singer for the Experience.

It’s that time again!  The Missouri State Fair is looking for Missouri’s next big star with 2012 Missouri State Fair Idol competition.  Get registered right here for the qualifying rounds held at Dickie Doo BBQ!
