Emme Blu Is Here
As of January 13, 2009 at 9:07 pm Emme Blu made her entrance into this world. She weighed in 9 lbs, 13 oz and is 21″ long. This is not a typo. She is a chubby cheeked little girl. We are estatic. Well Melissa is feeling the drugs and I am sleepless in Nashville. My adrenaline is running so high it appears I’ll never come off my high! I’ve tried to call as many as possible tonight but it became so late I had to stop. Be sure to check out the YouTube link on the website for video and the “gallery” link for pics.
Melissa is resting well and relieved to have baby on the outside of her body.
It’s been an amazing ride. I was there to see it all and would not have missed it for the world!
Welcome Emme Blu Bunch to the family!
Still No Baby! But 5-5-5.
It’s 8:10PM and still Emme Blu has not shown any major signs of appearing. At this time Melissa is dilated 5cm with 5cm to go. We are now awaiting the doctor’s arrival to determine whether or not Melissa must have a Cesarean section.
Now you are wondering what the 5-5-5 is all about. Well we came in at 5am today. At 5pm Melissa was dilated 5 cm. And to add to the mix, when Melissa played volleyball for Augusta State University her jersey number was 5!
These numbers do not increase contractions but do add an element of entertainment.
In Labor and Delivery
It is 10:55AM CST. Melissa and I have been in labor and delivery since 5:00AM. She is doing well. Epidural has been inserted and water broke. Some moderate contractions. Progress underway. I’ll keep you posted. Your prayers and thoughts are appreciated during this time. Pictures and hopefully video of baby will surface tonight. For now go to www.youtube.com/shannonbunch for video log (vlog).
Welcome to 2009
JUST A FEW MORE DAYS…
As you can imagine the countdown to Emme Blu is on! We have now been cleared for induction on Tuesday, January 13 at an area Nashville hospital. It seems like only yesterday Melissa called to say, “When you get home we have to talk”. Of course, I thought I was in trouble. Not exactly, just assisted in the trouble-making process. Melissa and I are anxious but look forward to our years ahead with a child in our lives. Just as I was preparing Cornish hens yesterday I thought how Emme will soon laugh at me dancing the headless fouls across the kitchen counter for their trip to the oven. I do things like that without a child, it will only get worse.

BUNCH-TV ?
No I haven’t purchased on television station but you will soon be able to see and hear me and sometimes Melissa give news and entertaining updates. This will be done in the form of a Vlog (video log) or web cast. This is what I am attempting to do. It will be very interesting and very unprofessional. But this will give you a real person (mostly me) with real tones and attitudes. Let’s just say I can be more expressive! There are two ways you can watch these webcasts, go to www.shannonbunch.com and click on links for news or YouTube. Here you will see and hear the latest developing news out of the Bunch household and from the road. There will also be video of Baby Bunchkin as early as next Tuesday, January 13, 2009.
…AND THERE WAS ROOM IN THE INN.
In early December Melissa and I were making a 4 hour trip to Corbin/Barbourville, KY. We left on a Thursday evening planning to drive straight through until a combination of snow, ice and freezing rain caught up with us in Somerset, KY approximately 60 miles from destination. About this time Melissa was becoming very nauseated and discomforted. (And despite popular opinion this was not a derivative of my driving.)
I felt it was best to stop before we left the Somerset city limits. For those who are not familiar with the area, between Somerset and London, KY is a 35 mile stretch of absolutely nothing but hills and hollers. Very few folk live on the main road and no businesses exist, not even a gas station. So as we made our way to the Holiday Inn Express Melissa’s sickness ensued. I pulled up to the door, assisted her out of the Tahoe and followed her to their public restroom. She was sick. We then went to the front desk where a very friendly clerk came to the counter as Melissa takes a seat in the hotel foyer. I looked at the clerk and stated, “Sir, we are from Nashville, TN traveling to Corbin/Barbourville, KY the weather has stopped us and my wife is great with child.” He smiled. I asked him if this story sounded familiar. I assured him we would do our best not to have a stable and manger experience. He quickly instructed me where the nearest hospital was located and gave us 50% off the regular room rate. This should have been the point in the story where the angelic choir began to sing, “Glory to God it’s not the highest and on earth good deal toward men!”
SIRIUS XM RADIO HOLLY
During the holidays Sirius/XM radio adds a few extra channels to their regular programming just to accommodate the season’s music. This year one of those channels was Holly. To my delight, I recently learned that my current radio single One Lamb, One Cross, One Time had been receiving airplay. My music can also be heard throughout the rest of the year on Enlighten XM channel 34 and Sirius channel 67. You can help keep my music playing on satellite radio just by going to www.sogoradio.com, click on request
WALTER LEFT US HIS PRESENT
I’ll keep this one short and simple. Just before Christmas a thunder storm came through the area. Walter hates ‘em. In a frantic moment Walter hikes his leg and pees on the Christmas tree. That’s it. Just thought it was news-worthy.
SINGING WITH THE SAINTS
On December 12 I along with Pastor Herschel and Miss Doris Walker & Shane Martin hosted the first Singing with the Saints (SWTS) in over 5 years. Hopewell Baptist Church in Corbin, KY was kind enough to allow us the use of their facility for a great night of gospel music. SWTS brings together a host of local and regional artists to form a “homecoming” style performance. Ernie Dawson and Heirline were our featured group this time. Even with snow, sleet and freezing rain nearly 500 people packed the sanctuary. With the second half of the show being Christmas music I feel the weather was nearly perfect. I suppose if the weather had been nice the fire chief would have been there writing citations. If you would like to have a DVD copy of this night please contact Shane Martin to place your order, brothershane@jesusishope.net or call 606.523.9424. With many different artists and over 2 hours of music, this is one video you’ll want to get. Of course, I am on it! That’s priceless!
CD SALES FALL DURING LAST QUARTER 2008
It was quite a hard hit coming into the last quarter of 2008 as my CD sales fell 50%-60%. Signs of the economy have once again hit the Bunch with a punch! However, it’s not just me. As the trend typically goes, music sales increase even during hard times. People often turn to music as a source of comfort, whether it is Christian or secular. My business thoughts were confirmed in a January 1st newspaper article released by The Tennessean written by Peter Cooper. The following statements are a small piece of that article.
Country sales — which include tallies from albums not played on mainstream country radio, such as the Robert Plant/Alison Krauss Raising Sand collaboration — wound up at around 47,650,000. That’s down 24 percent from last year’s total. And last year’s total was the lowest for country in SoundScan’s 19-year history. Only classical music had a bigger dip, at 26 percent.
Sales of Christian and Gospel music, much of which is produced in the Nashville area, were down 12 percent for the year.
Album sales declined 14 percent across every genre, and though growth in overall music purchases is up 10 percent, that increase relies on digital tracks, ringtones and other comparatively small purchases.
Even in digitally downloadable form, the album is something of an endangered species: Digital album sales decreased by 8.6 percent.
“We’re in a moment of transition,” said Scott Borchetta, president of Big Machine Records (yes, Swift’s label). “If we’re smart, there’s still a lot of business out there. But extravagances are gone for the moment.”
To read the entire article click on The Tennessean.
FACEBOOK.COM
About the time I was learning the ins and outs of MySpace a new social networking internet site has taken the country by storm, FACEBOOK.COM. This site is one of the most interesting methods to reacquaint you with people you haven’t seen or heard from in years. I know that I am nearing my 20th high school anniversary and I am finding people and they are finding me every day. Whether or not you already have a facebook account you may find me by clicking here. I warn you it is addicting.
More Songs from My Sunday Best on MySpace
Recently a few songs not previously loaded on MySpace are now available. If you have not purchased the new album maybe listening to some of these songs will persuade you to buy now!
TRUE STORY
One of my precious partners, Anita has a grandson, Dakota who is 9 years old. Grandma was driving (of course) with grandson buckled in for the ride. Both are avid Shannon Bunch fans and listen to my music often while in the car. One recent evening caught them listening to my new album and more specifically track # 3, At the Cross. This is the old hymn that many of us know. When it got to the chorus it sings, “…it was there by faith I received my sight…” Dakota turns at this point and asked his grandma, “Does Shannon know I have a girlfriend and what here name is?” Anita replies, “I think I told Shannon. Why do you ask?” Dakota said, “Shannon just sung about my girlfriend, Faith. He just said, ‘it was there by faith I received my sight and now I am happy all the day.’
This is one true story I’ll never forget. I thought it would make you smile.
And there’s yet another ultrasound on the way…
That’s right, no joke, another ultrasound. I guess I hate to sound like I am tired of getting a sneak peak at the little one, but I kind of am. On Thursday, Shannon and I went for the 29 week appointment. As reported earlier, we had an ultrasound at 27 weeks to look at the cyst on Emme’s head which had resolved itself. At my latest appointment my doctor informs me that the babies kidneys are a little bit enlarged and they want to take another look at them in 4 weeks. So, you guessed it, another ultrasound on December 4th. I will be 33 weeks pregnant at that point! I guess I have become so used to the ultrasounds that I don’t freak out anymore. Afterall, this will be my 6th ultrasound. I’m definitely anxious to see how big the baby has gotten, her weight, height, and everything else. All complaining aside, if there is a problem with the kidneys, my doctor seemed to think that it would be a very minor process to fix. She said sometimes they even do surgeries in-utero. I’m not so sure about that being minor, but I’ll take her word for it.
Shannon is in Dallas/Fort-Worth this weekend for several concerts. While he has been in town, he has been able to spend time with my family and they are always a big help in getting him to and from the airport and loaning him a vehicle. He left Thursday and will return Monday. This is his second weekend on the road in a row and two more weekends on the road follow this trip. He will be taking Thanksgiving weekend off to spend time with my family who is traveling to us this year. I’ll have to admit, it’s getting harder for me when he is out of town. I know things will slow down soon, and I am defnitely grateful for those who keep him on the road, but I sure do enjoy his company now that I don’t really want to get out much. Things just aren’t as easy as they were a few months ago. I know it’s only a brief time and things will be back to normal, but life’s kind of a pain right now. Enough complaining, right?
It seems unreal that the holidays are upon us yet again. I don’t feel like it’s been a year since I carved a turkey! Thanksgiving and Christmas are my absolute favorite times of the year. We have SO much to be thankful for, not to mention the food is wonderful too! All the little things that go in to planning the holidays are what makes it special for me. I can’t miss a Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parage, and Honey Baked Ham is an absolute necessity on both days. It seems weird that next year we’ll be spending our season with another Bunch, and she’ll be almost a year old!
If you haven’t looked at the trees lately, check them out. Fall is another one of God’s little blessings and I think this might be the most beautiful year in Tennessee for me so far. The foliage this year is absolutely stunning! I guess that’s enough rambling for tonight, it’s late here and Walter has beat me to bed. I’ve got to catch up, or he’ll be in a panic! Until the next time….
Makenzie’s Story
In my previous news update, I told of a 3rd grader at my school who was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Her story was aired last night on Fox17 News Nashville. I am posting the link at the bottom of this update. Please visit the link to get a better understanding of this family. Makenzie’s Mom did state after the story aired that there was one misrepresentation. The news stated her condition was “life threatening” and she says Makenzie will conquer this battle. Her motto is “GO, FIGHT, WIN!” Isn’t it amazing the strength and courage that God gives to 8 year-olds? I know Makenzie will win this fight, and I know that we can help her through prayer!

Prayers Needed for Baby Bunchkin
I write to you tonight from Nashville as I have taken a brief hiatus from the National Quartet Convention. Many of you are receiving this update for the very first time. There has just simply not been enough time to call and/or email this prior to tonight. I will be as brief and detailed as I can with the following information.
Monday afternoon as I am sitting in Louisville, KY at the National Quartet Convention (NQC) Melissa calls me from Nashville. She has just left the doctor’s office for what was supposed to be a routine checkup. This was the first doctor’s visit she has made without me, and the doctor had just shared some rather disturbing news. Needless to say emotions were running very high as she was digesting and relating the following statements.
Let me preface this paragraph by sharing that Melissa and I opted for genetic testing for several chromosomal defects earlier in the pregnancy and those results were NEGATIVE. Dr. Jabusch, our obstetrician, shared that during the last ultrasound, when we found out we had a little girl on the way, two abnormalities had been discovered. There was an elevated thickness of tissue around the baby’s neck, and there was a small “spot” on the baby’s heart. These are called “markers” for the possibility of Down’s syndrome. She then gave us an appointment for a specialist here in Nashville who is perhaps the most sought after doctor in his field. Upon review of yet another ultrasound today there were three other “markers” for Down’s syndrome discovered. Let me say that according to the information we have, these are only “markers” not necessarily indicators, and by far not all conclusive. In the majority of cases these “markers” resolve themselves and baby is normal. Had only one of these markers been present, there would have been no further tests. However, we opted today to have amniocentesis. Amniocentesis is a test performed to determine the health, sex, or genetic constitution of an unborn baby by taking a sample of amniotic fluid through a needle inserted into the womb of the mother. This test alone increased her chances of miscarriage to 1 in 200. (These are numbers according to medical studies.) However, Dr. Jeanty (our radiologist/specialist today) shared that having performed countless amniocentesis procedures over the past 30 years, not one patient had ever miscarried to his knowledge. It will take 7-10 days to have final results as the baby’s cells must be harvested from the amniotic fluid and then grown.
Since the release of this news at NQC on Monday, countless prayers have been offered. Even during my performance yesterday at the Kentucky Fair & Expo Center, emcee and Christian artist/comedian, Tim Lovelace stopped me in the middle of my set to pray for me, and I have just learned that today during another showcase at NQC, again we were lifted up in special prayer. I am grateful to be a part of the family of gospel music but most proud to be part of the family of God. This has been a trying week but God has been faithful as His Grace continues to sustain us.
I have already had the Holy Spirit teach me two lessons since yesterday. And as many of you know, I am not the fastest learner. But when the phone call first came I knew the following afternoon I would perform How Great Thou Art as my closing song for the showcase. He, the Holy Spirit, whispered to me and asked, “Can you still sing that song and mean it?” It took me but a moment and my spirit resounded, “YES!” It’s easy to sing of the greatness of God when all in life is going well, but it takes something greater than us to reach beyond our sorrows and give Him the praise and adoration He deserves.
The second lesson was a bit harder. Melissa and I are very pro-life people. And I feel we have never been critical or judgmental of others decisions when they have chosen to terminate a pregnancy. Although we may not have agreed with the decisions made, it was so easy for us to sit back and say, “I could never do that.” But when it “came home” to us, I very quickly realized how agonizing it is to think of bringing a challenged life into this world. All at once your hopes and dreams of sharing musical talents, athletic gifts, and just simply doing normal activities that normal families do are being stripped from you. And it hurts, but I’m confident that God has a plan.
We have already been encouraged in so many ways. Of course the most important form of encouragement comes from God’s Holy Word. One of my best friends just shared with me two Scriptures that needed to be brought to our remembrance. Matthew 21:21- “ And Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do what is done to the fig tree, but even if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea, it shall be done.” I. Corinthians 10:13-“No temptation has overtaken you that is unusual for human beings. But God is faithful, and he will not allow you to be tempted beyond your strength. Instead, along with the temptation he will also provide a way out, so that you may be able to endure it.”
We are emotionally exhausted but spiritually challenged and encouraged. Your prayers during this time are treasured beyond expression of words. Melissa, Emme Blu, and I are thankful to call you our friends.
We love you BUNCHES!
NOTE: At this time Shannon will be returning to Louisville, KY for NQC Thursday and Friday nights (September 11-12) from 4:00PM-10:00PM each evening, booth 308. Concerts for this weekend (September 13-14) in Jonesborough & Limestone, TN will go on as scheduled.
from the B-List
I have many wonderful things to report in this edition of the B-List. My website, www.shannonbunch.com has finally received a much needed makeover. Let’s just say, if there was a television show for websites this would definitely be an EXTREME MAKEOVER. Long-time friend of the ministry, Charles Myrick from my hometown in Barbourville, KY took the reins once again as webmaster and delivered the most commercial design this website has ever seen. Many aspects have been streamlined for easier navigation, while new features have been added. There are now defined links to my personal web pages for MySpace, YouTube, and now one for the Baby Bunchkin. You’ll want to check this page out now. We have released the long-awaited news as to the sex of the baby. Are we having a boy or girl? You find out for yourself. Also the Bunchkin page has links to the baby’s registry for a few different retailers. This will also be updated as time goes along. More ultrasound pics are now available.
New album, My Sunday Best, is now available for order. The latest recording effort will be released on September 5th! Order your copy now. Or if you wish, you may download the entire album right from the site. All Shannon Bunch MUSIC and select SOUNDTRAX are now available. My Sunday Best was recorded in Nashville, TN at 
STUDIO. Check out Brian, Greg and the gang online. Show them some appreciation, too. They did a great job! And you know I’m not easy to work with!? Well, sometimes. This album includes 10 of my most requested songs from concerts over the past several years. The list includes, He Set Me Free, Love Lifted Me, How Great Thou Art & Amazing Grace. Some of these songs can be heard now on MySpace.
National Quartet Convention begins next week in Louisville, KY! You will find me at booth #308. Seems like only a couple months since my last convention. I will be there Monday, September 8th-Friday, September 12th, 4PM-10PM nightly. I will perform for the NQC on Tuesday, September 9th at the Kentucky Fair & Expo Center, East Hall. This multi-artist concert begins at 12PM. Go to www.natqc.com for ticket information. Don’t forget I will be at booth #308. If you’re there come by and sit a spell!
Enough about me, let’s talk about Melissa! She is getting more round each day! But the baby is growing weighing in at this time 10 ounces. She and baby are doing great. She is now 20 weeks and has had not one day of morning sickness. Praise the Lord! She does tire much easier than normal but that’s to be expected. Of course when I tire easily it’s referred to as LAZY! I’m hoping Melissa will pose for a “pregnant picture”. Watch the website. I’ll see what I can do. Melissa received great news this week. Although the school board issued Melissa a temporary license to teach full-time this year she still had two days of testing to receive permanent credentials. Now she has passed her last PRAXIS test! This is the federal & state mandated tests given to receive full certification to teach. She now has a teaching license! If only I could do something about her driver’s license?! Let’s just say that her driving keeps me praying!
Now let’s talk about me again! LOL! As far as life on the road, it’s been a great year! This was the busiest summer ever. However, August only generated one date. That wasn’t good for the bank account but my one date took me back to my hometown where I was the headliner for the gospel night at the Knox County Fair. I got to see many familiar faces as well as some family. This summer also honored me with another guest spot on The Gospel Greats with Paul Heil. Although it aired on over 200 radio markets and XM Radio throughout the U.S. and Canada, you may have missed it. If you did, go to the MEDIA section of the website and listen. It’s just that easy! (The Gospel Greats audio is used by permission and is NOT available for download, for PLAY ONLY.) Not only does Paul produce the most award winning syndicated radio show in the business but also possesses the highest standards of integrity for the gospel music industry.
I have decided to release one more single to radio from the album Take Me There. One Lamb, One Cross, One Time ships to radio early September via DJ Man Promotions. I wrote this song only a few weeks before recording that album in late 2006 and quickly became a crowd favorite. Maybe this will be my first top 10 hit! Request it at your local radio station and send a message to XM radio, channel 34. You can make the difference.
This weekend kicks off the biggest fall tour schedule ever! *As a new method of communication I’m only posting the dates and the cities in the B-List updates so be sure to check out all the details at www.shannonbunch.com. So here is a quick look at soon upcoming events as….

New Album, New Look
I am as excited about singing as I have ever been! I have a brand new album that will be released September 5, 2008. This is my first HYMNS project to ever record. For the past 10 years or more, I have used the second half of my concerts, sat at the piano, and taken requests from the crowd. I have now recorded 10 of the most requested songs over the past 10 years. What an album it is! There are also three songs on there with only me at the piano and singing solo, no extra instruments or vocals. You’ve been asking for it, now you got it!
Many thanks to Brian Eckert at Verge Studio here in Nashville for making this one of the easiest albums to ever record. The musicians were top-notch. The professionalism could not be beat anywhere! Thanks Brian. Check out their website, www.vergenashville.com.
Also my official web site is getting a brand new look for the first time in almost 2 years. I have just seen a preview of it, and let me tell you, it is going to be awesome! The new look will be streamlined to allow easier navigation.
Ya’ll hang in there with us. We are almost finished!

Baby Bunch on the Way!
A Bunchkin Is on the Way! That’s correct. Melissa and I are expecting our first child in January! Here’s the kicker. We are as surprised as you are! It wasn’t until Melissa was 6 weeks pregnant that we discovered this situation. Now going into our 11th week, and two ultrasounds later, we are very much on our way to parenthood!
As the website gets a new look in the coming weeks there will be a section devoted solely to baby news. This will be called the Bunchkin Report. Are you wondering why this title? I have often heard people refer to small children as munchkins and with a personal twist we have Bunchkin. For now you may go to a temporary image store where there are two pics of the most recent ultrasound. This ultrasound was taken at 9 weeks. You will notice one is black and white, which is a normal ultrasound; the other is tan colored, which is a 3D ultrasound. Technology just amazes me. And I know some of you will be seeing a 3D ultrasound for the very first time. This is too cool! Click here for pics. As a side note, there are some facilities already performing 4D ultrasounds.
In other news…
· Speeds have shifted downward regarding the upcoming recording. Due to financial shortfalls, this new album has been placed on hold. However, options are being explored to get this off the ground as soon as possible.
· Good news is that life on the road this summer has been the best in recent years. Usually summertime brings a major decrease in my bookings. May was quite slow with only two dates. But June & July have proven to be much more productive. However, August is now wide open and in need of dates. If you or someone you know would like to reserve one of these available dates contact the office ASAP. However, as you will note, I am booked almost to capacity for September through November. When it rains, it pours! It’s feast or famine! Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don’t! Well, you get the picture.
· At the time of this news update I have learned that my aunt Dorothy Hamilton has passed away. Please keep this family in your thoughts and prayers in the coming days. Melissa and I will be attending funeral services over the weekend in Kentucky.

happened. Then he decided to write God a letter requesting the $100.00. When the postal authorities received the letter to God, they decided to send
it to the President. The president was so amused that he instructed his secretary to send the
little boy a $5.00 bill. The president thought this would appear to be a lot of money to a little
boy. The little boy was delighted with the $5.00 bill and sat down to write a
thank-you note to God, which read:
Dear God: Thank you very much for sending the money. However, I noticed that
for some reason you sent it through Washington, D.C., and the government
deducted $95 in taxes.
