Help! – Poison Ivy Itching Remedies Needed

Danny Merrell — Tue, 07 May 2013 15:57:44 +0000

Last weekend, I armed myself with an electric pole saw, axe, hatchet, and pruning shears and set forth to take down a tree that was already leaning beyond halfway to the ground. The good news is I got the tree to the ground...the bad news, well, you see the picture (sorry if it grosses you out).

The Flu Roughs Up KICKS 105′s Danny Merrell

Danny Merrell — Fri, 25 Jan 2013 05:08:10 +0000

With apologies to Taylor Swift, I am never, ever, ever going through a flu season without getting a flu shot. I just spent the last week or so trying to overcome this year’s dreaded influenza, and it hasn’t been pretty. Between the hacking, the fever, the coughing fits, the sniffles, body aches, and, oh, did [...]

'Facebook Face Off' – Who Looks Better in a Tux?

Danny Merrell — Tue, 03 Jul 2012 16:49:07 +0000

Yes, that's us, Sean Ericson on the left and me (Danny Merrell) on the right.

This was back in the early '90's at a Valentine's promotion that we called Drive Through and Renew...as in wedding vows.

Now, why would either one of us subject ourselves to the ridicule that we know we're gonna get by bringing back this picture?

Danny Merrell's Amazing Golf Secrets Revealed! [VIDEO]

Sean Ericson — Thu, 28 Jun 2012 13:14:33 +0000

With Danny Merrell out today, I’ve had some extra time in the Control Room. Guess what I found! Evidently Danny has been doing some research on his golf swing while on the air. This morning I opened a browser and this is what I found. It might just explain some of Danny’s confusion on the [...]

Danny Merrell's Top Five Romantic Movies

Danny Merrell — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 15:51:05 +0000

I don’t sit down very often with my wife to watch ‘lovey-dovey’ movies. In fact, I believe over the past few years, the only movies we’ve watched together had talking cars, dragons, and toys. Now, before you think that I’m a stick in the mud when it comes to romance, hear me out. Whenever I watch a [...]

A Story Of Prayers And Breast Cancer Survival – Let Me Introduce You To My Mom

Danny Merrell — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 20:43:05 +0000

I wanted to pass along this story in October since it is breast cancer awareness month...and, as I usually do, I have waited until the last minute. I ask that you please read this story of my mom...I believe you will find it uplifting and a great testimony to the power of prayer.

My mom turned 74 in June...it was a birthday she wasn't expected to have.

I Met George Strait — But I Didn't Get An Autographed Guitar

Danny Merrell — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 14:36:31 +0000

Yes....that's me with George Strait.

It was around 1983 in Austin, I was 19, and the only thing that concerned me more than actually getting to meet George Strait (only a couple of number ones at that time), was to make sure I sucked in my cheeks and pushed back the sleeves of my satin jacket so that I could look....cooool.

How 'Bout Some Homecoming Help For This Clueless Dad

Danny Merrell — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 15:23:02 +0000

I've heard it said that when it comes to raising kids, sons are a lot less expensive than daughters. I think the brunt of that message is about to hit me square in the jaw.

My oldest is a 15 year old girl...and it's homecoming season. When I was going to high school (eons ago), I never really had a girlfriend, at least not during homecoming, so buying mums, or gifts, or going to the homecoming dance was not an issue...but now, well, let's just say I need some help and direction.

9/11, Pearl Harbor, And My 11th Grade History Class

Danny Merrell — Sun, 11 Sep 2011 17:40:31 +0000

I was not alive when Pearl Harbor happened. Heck, my mom was only 4 years old at the time. Much like anyone born years after 1941, I knew the details about the attack on Pearl Harbor, but I could hardly fathom the feelings of the profound significance of that terrible day on December 7th.

That all changed for me in 1980, and even more so in 2001.

Danny Merrell Celebrates National Bad Poetry Day

Danny Merrell — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 13:45:09 +0000

Emerson...Dante...Tennyson...Dr. Seuss...today is not their day.

This is the day that we aspiring poets try our best effort at verse. Nope. Scratch that.

This is the day that we silly people try to make up bad poetry - limericks, haiku, iambic pentameter (not sure what that means, but it sounded poetic)...any style of poetry is up for grabs.

I have some bad poetry for you...after the jump.

I'll Wear A Dress, You Wear Your Shorts, And We'll Meet At Buffalo Wild Wings

Danny Merrell — Thu, 28 Jul 2011 23:18:23 +0000

The 1st ever Blazin' Buffalo Wild Wings Fun Run is this Friday beginning at 5:30. Sean Ericson and myself will be participating and we want you to come out and join us for an event that is one of a kind.

We've mapped out a 2 mile course behind Buffalo Wild Wings in Lufkin that you can walk, run, or a combination of both...but, there's an extra part to the fun run.

Danny Merrell Interviews John Conlee On The Merrell In The Morning Show [AUDIO]

Danny Merrell — Thu, 28 Jul 2011 20:07:21 +0000

And the answer is: "Behind the wheel of a garden tractor".

The question: "These days, where are you most likely to find country music legend John Conlee".

Conlee is still keeping busy with touring and making new music (Classics 2 is his latest effort), but he's also quite content at maintaining his huge garden and canning all sorts of vegetables.

John Conlee will be in concert this Friday night at Banita Creek Hall in Nacogdoches and I had a chance to talk with Mr. 'Rose Colored Glasses' about gardening, the state of country music, and much more...after the jump.

Danny Merrell — Tue, 19 Jul 2011 21:41:19 +0000

We had some champions stop by the Merrell in the Morning show today. The Rampage softball team, who just happen to be the 14 and under state champions paid us a visit today and told us about their experiences in trying to bring home the world series title. Last week, the Rampage went to Panama [...]
