Country Music Stars Sure Are Real Nice

Hardly a day goes by it seems that we don't have an article on CountryHound about country music artists donating their time and talent to charities.  Just in the past week or so we've had articles such as:

• Rodney Atkins supports an adoption organization (he was adopted as an infant)
• Numerous country music stars design birdhouses to donate to a fundraiser for the W.O. Smith Music School in Nashville
• Many major stars like Vince Gill, Reba, Martina McBride, Luke Bryan, and others support the 4-H, by participating in a compilation cd
• Trace Adkins raises awareness for preserving civil war battlefields
• Graciously, Steve Azar plays golf in the Caddyshack Golf Tournament put on by Bill Murray and his brothers
• Kix Brooks and Kellie Pickler participate in USO tours to Iraq and elsewhere to entertain our soldiers
• Diana DeGarmo is spokesperson for Global Youth Service Day

Looks can be deceiving, but it appears that a much higher percentage of country music stars donate to charities than that of the general population.  Sure most are blessed with a lot, but nobody's forcing them to share.

Kind of goes along with country music being the "salt of the earth", standing up for what's right, and being patriotic.

I'm sure entertainers like movie stars, professional athletes, and others do their part for charity; and good for them.  I'm not saying country music stars are superior, nor am I comparing them in any way.  

I'm just saying there's a lot of very generous artists in the country music business, and so we ought to be grateful for the time, talent, and money country music stars donate to good causes.
