@Fabfourband .... Today in the News 12/6/2013:

Opening Statement:
With apologies to my readers... Yesterday as I was ready to post, the news of the death of Nelson Mandela broke and it was too late to pay tribute to a GREAT man. A man who changed the world for the better, A man who didn't just fight for those in South Africa but the world. He was a legend and shall remain a legend and a part of a history. He did so much for common people and touch so many lives. He was age 44 went he went to jail fighting for the people and released at age 71. Mr. Mandela met so many of our sports heroes as well as entertainers like Oprah and Michael Jackson.... Yesterday we lost GREATNESS but we Gained an Angel with Wings. Rest in Peace My Good Man... Rest in Peace. http://www.nelsonmandela.org/?origin=p90 nelson 3 nelson 1 nelson 2 nelson 4

THE GREAT Nancy Bradley joins Good Day Sacramento in the 9am hour and The Fab Four, yes the BEST Beatles Tribute Band I have EVER, EVER, EVER heard will be performing on the Good Day Sacramento Stage.

Viewers Voice: 'Tis the season... for school controversies over "Merry Christmas." Texas recently passed a "Merry Christmas" law, allowing students to say Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and Happy Holidays... but one school is banning the phrases because Christmas is a religious holiday.

Thursday Night Football:
Jacksonville wins 4th straight while Houston loses 11th straight 27-20.
Final Thought:
We danced into the weekend and today we had help from The Fab Four. Yes, they are the BEST Beatle Tribute Band EVER but more on their Good Day Sacramento performance later.
My58/KCRA held their annual Chips For Kids Toy Drive Event at Cal Expo. This is one of the BEST events at Christmas time. All the toys donated go for a GREAT cause and today they received a gift of 700 bikes for kids. So cool. Feel bad for all those standing outside in these cold temps though.
Zohreen was my favorite today on Fox40.  She had some cool segments but perhaps the BEST one was touring the Governors Mansion and live tweeting it with photos.  The band One Last Request sounded good also. I kinda felt like they sounded a little Blues Travelers.
Good Day Sacramento sent Jason to Dell'Osso Family Farm for holiday fun. Anytime Jason does a live shot its going to be classic Good Day Sacramento TV. Melissa checked out new exercise equipment, Courtney gave us cool gift ideas with a vintage feel. Melissa & Kristin gave us winter tips for our cars. Cody, and Laura brought us the cold weather possible snowflake forecast. Nancy Bradley stopped by to give viewers advice. But perhaps the best part of the show today was The Fab Four. I have only heard great things about this band until over the summer they appeared on KVIE 6 for a special concert in which they promoted their show for tonight at Crest Theatre. I was so impressed by how well they sounded and the effort they put into their work I could not wait to hear more. Then when I heard about their appearance on Good Day Sacramento it was a dream come true. These guys are the new Beatles. I wish I had a chance to speak with them because I have so many questions. They sounded great and it was a nice way to dance into the weekend with Cody and Amy who we welcome back from vacation. See you tomorrow at 7am.
By the way nothing official yet but it looks like the # for tomorrow Championship game with Auburn is #CodyShouldBeThere. Again this is not yet official so tune Into Good Day Sacramento tomorrow for the final word from Cody.
Until then have a warm Friday and look for snow overnight.
Might do this more often if I get enough responses during the show but what do you think of me adding show comments I get during the show, after and before. Example from Today:
  • Today
  • Matt, are you going to have a link of the Fab Four singing .... shoot, they just cut them off for a commercial.  Bummer - I love these guys!
     
  • Matt Brian Dixon
    I will have all that I can get. BEST Beatles Tribute band. BTW that was playing into break.
  • lol, what's the difference between commercial and "break".???  Will I be able to watch the whole performance?
     
  • Same thing. Not of that song but the others they perform

     
  • Elaine Hersch
    Awesome!  I'll be waiting.  You're such a sweetheart, you always get right back with me!!!!
     
  • Matt Brian Dixon
    Thank you
