To tell you guys about what its about, I first must tell you about me. I was born and raised in a small town hidden within the central coast of California. When I mean small, I mean that the owner of the feed and grain called my dad one day to tell him I was wearing too short of shorts to school. The kind of town that you get in trouble for speeding because Loretta down the road told my mom I was. I came from the kind of town that even if it isn't by blood, you might as well be family.
Everyone knew when I pulled up to school because I was the only blonde girl driving a 96 GMC Sierra, with a 454 engine and 4 wheel drive; and everyone knew I bought it myself because everyone saw me sell my wood shop project for $5,000. Might I add, my math teacher bought it.
I named my show Calamity Jane Kind of Fame because of who Calamity Jane was as a woman in the wild west. She once said, "I figure if a girl wants to be a legend, she should just go ahead and be one." Not only was that quote my senior quote in the yearbook, since the day I was born I've been a legend. Maybe it was because I pushed Avery Shannon off the playground in preschool, or got away with cutting a chunk of my hair out with Cynthea Rendon. Maybe it was because me and my sister got in a fist fight at the Rec-center with Melissa Rylee. Or because no matter where you were in Templeton, you knew the name La Rue. That could have been because my dad served 16 years on the school board, or that my parents put 5 kids through the same high school. I can't tell you how many teachers read my name out and said, "you're a La Rue, like Cammie La Rue? Charlie La Rue? Carrie La Rue? Cierra La Rue?" I'd nod my head as the other kids stared in disbelief. I, from the day I was born, was a legend. Thanks to my family name, and maybe because I made friends with every auctioneer I met because chances are, it's Rick Machado at the Mid-State Fair project auction , the Templeton project auction, the MSF live animal auction, King City fair auction, or something else.
My town is the kind of town you hear about in every country song. So, for my first show, I will be dedicating every song to Templeton, my hometown.
I'm so stoked to show my Aggie family what this gal is about! Make sure to be paying attention for when I release my day and time! WOO I get my own live radio show!!
