Let's vote ... for Jesse Lee

Gotcha on the headline I hope. You thought I was writing ... again ... on the Brentwood City Commission race. Well, have you voted? Thursday's the last day to vote early. The Big Day is next Tuesday, with 10 polling spots open from 7-7 so you have no excuses.
But forget politics for a while. Let's talk country music. Specifically Jesse Lee.
Brentwood has its share of country music divas that call it home, think Dolly and Carrie. Hopefully it's about to have a new one.
Jesse Lee is the first country artist Atlantic Records signed in over a decade. Her first single, "It's A Girl Thing" is out and her first album is due in the fall.
How did I learn about her? At the last California Girls gathering way too long ago. (The California Girls is the disparate group of mostly Brentwood women who have all lived in California at one time or other and gather occasionally for fun times.) Jesse's mom Pegi Levin brought her along and once we heard Jesse's story, we talked her into singing for us. A fan club was instantly formed.
Want to join the club too? It's easy. Check out her video at CMT.com or www.myspace/jesselee. Read her bio at www.gactv.com, on the Artists page. And while you're there, be sure to vote for her video to return to GAC's Top 20. Just scroll down until you see Fan Zone and hit 'Vote for Videos.' You can vote once a day.
Why do I like her so much? Guess "It's a Girl Thing"

"We love romance, and candlelight/ You like a cold beer, we like a fine wine/ You hardly talk, we can talk all night/ You wanna fix it, we just wanna cry/ It's a girl thing."

-- Jesse Lee
