As a small business owner, I have been watching CNN and the stock markets today as congress struggles to pass a bill to bailout Wall street. Now, here just about 1 minute after the bill has failed, the stock market is on a downward plunge that some say is unrecoverable. I remember when I was an employee and not a business owner, I would always think the stock markets didn’t really affect me. It is so strange how life’s journeys seem to change a person’s way of thinking. I have not yet felt the financial pressure of this horrific financial issue our country is facing and I understand that simply means I am one of a lucky few as I see some of our clients beginning to feel this as their sales begin to drop in front of our eyes. Several of our clients are in the real estate business and we have seen them struggle for some time now but today, I am truly afraid of what is yet to come for the entire financial market in the U.S.A. I can only pray that we all stay together to get through this and that recovery comes swift and fruitful.
Sevier County superstar Dolly Parton took some personal time off from her busy press schedule Saturday to celebrate the life and music of former television partner and mentor, Porter Wagoner. In her own Celebrity Theater, the singer spent an emotional and poignant afternoon singing the songs and sharing the stories of the time she and Porter spent together and the impact the legend had on all who surrounded him. Parton also took the opportunity to surprise manager, and original Wagon Master, Don Warden with an induction into the Missouri based Steel Guitar Hall of Fame. The Dollywood Theater was transformed with familiar sets from the long-running country music show and Dolly’s band, The Backwoods Boys, dressed in the signature costumes from the era. Dolly, herself, wore a Porter-inspired outfit to set the mood for the afternoon. “This won’t be a sad time,” she assured the crowd. “This will be a happy time!” The private event was attended by Wagoner’s children and grand children and many of the Grand Ole Opry stars who had performed with him during his long and successful career. “The Porter Wagoner Show” debuted on syndicated television in 1960 and the flashy country star brought new talent Dolly Parton aboard in 1967. Parton credits his support and the popularity of their duets together, as the foundation of her own success. During the emotional memorial, Wagon Master steel guitar player Don Warden was surprised by Parton with a tribute of his own. Dressed in the original costume he wore on the famed show, Warden was gifted with a sculpture from Parton who described him as her “Angel on Earth” and told of his induction into the Steel Guitar Hall of Fame. When Dolly left the Porter Wagoner Show, Warden went with her as manager and has remained with her as an adviser through the years. This very special tribute marked the first time the two had performed together in 34 years. Eyes glistening with tears, Parton closed the memorial with the original version of her 1974 musical farewell to their partnership, “I Will Always Love You”. “Not a dry eye in the house,” says Sevierville media artist Jacob Timmons, who designed and manages Parton’s web empire. “The whole first row of the theater was Porter’s family, the second row was legends from the Grand Ole Opry. It was a powerful and moving expression of love”. Porter Wagoner died on October 28, 2007, in Nashville Tennessee. His career spanned seven decades.This blog brought to you by S.D.

Professionals, LLC The local company has launched the first ever HD (high definition) video blimp. The nearly 5lb bird has been dubbed, affectionately, The EagleEye. S.D.

S.D. Professionals, LLC & Aerial Products, are now in the process of building, for the Goodyear Company, a 22ft small scale replica of their famous flying logo complete with all wireless remote controls. “We have designed a wireless, high definition, video system that can send images from the flight to pre-selected television screens and stations on the ground. Goodyear is premiering this innovation at their yearly world wide vendor event at the "Gaylord Texan" in Grapevine, Texas" with Timmons and company piloting the flight! “It’s a VERY exciting time for us”, says Timmons. “But even more exciting is the possibilities this will open up for business in Sevier county!” Timmons plans to use his new toy not only for area advertisers and real estate interests, but as a promotional vehicle for local schools, events and sports. He is speaking with several interested groups, and delighted with plans for the future. Already affiliated with Dolly Parton and her Imagination Library, the company looks forward to giving back to the community. “Check out our EagleEyeinthesky.com website for more details or to find where we will be flying next.
