With the voting going on the homepage (Go vote if you haven't), I thought I'd start a new column for discussions on who we want to see next year!

First and for most, Cletus would be happy to see Bon Jovi closing at either the Jammin Country or the rock Jam! But let's get real:

My headliner pick: Kenny Chesney. While Big & Rich were awesome as always, and I'd love to see them again and again, I am gonna go ahead and say that Moondance isn't going to repeat the same headliner for their 2nd year. So My first new pick to close is Kenny Chesney. Some other honorable mentions for closers: Toby Keith, he's always good! George Strait, not much an entertainer for the younger crowd, but I like him! And, although I am not a fan, and this IS going to hurt...Keith Urban would draw in a good crowd. There.

Some of the other "opening headliner" type people. My first pick is Clint Black. He is one of the few of the country stars from 90's or today that I have never seen live. He is one of my favorite country music singers, and I think a lot of others would like him too! He could even be a Thursday or Friday night closer! Some other in this category, Dwight Yoakam and Sammy Kershaw are my tops. Dwight Yoakam is another I haven't yet seen that I feel I should have. I have seen Sammy twice, and he is just plain old fun!

On to the ladies! Carrie Underwood and Martina McBride. Enough said.

Regional bands (if not national yet), I like 32 Below and Whitney Duncan. Bring them on and we are going to have a good time!!

So, along with the discussions, I thought we would together build a fantasy line-up. Copy the line-up and add 1-2 bands. Let's be realistic, don't put someone like Chesney at 3pm or vice-versa. So here it is, with LeAnn Rimes and my first two adds:
