Candle Blowers

You might be all paying more attention to his tween queen sensation daughter, Miley Cyrus, but Billy Ray hasn’t stopped making music. In fact, the man still makes music and performs around the country. Next up, he’s performing at the Walworth County Fair in Wisconsin. Don’t hate on the county fair gig - he might not be doing Hannah Montana shows, but I’m sure he’s enjoying just playing some music. AND, it’s his birthday today. Happy 47th, Billy Ray! Hope Miley got you a new Ferrari. Other folks celebrating today:
