Daniel Smith

Smith grew up in Taylor Mill, Kentucky, a small town just across the Ohio River from Cincinnati. Although
Cincinnati has long been a center of country and bluegrass music, Smith says his inspiration came from his
parents' record collection, which tended to be heavy on albums by Eddy Arnold, Conway Twitty, the Statler
Brothers and the gospel-singing Gaithers. Of course Smith is well know for "Thank You (A tribute to
the American Soldier). |

Team Fastrax

A Team Fastrax exhibition skydive or demonstration parachute jump is an event where anywhere from one to
twelve Team Fastrax demonstrators exit our aircraft from 3,000 feet to over 13,000 feet and freefall to
a safe predetermined opening altitude. Then with precision skill and accuracy our jumpers land in the
middle of your scheduled event where they leave an impression on the crowd that will last for years. |

Bill Whyte

Bill Whyte's unique presentation of funny and twisted songs makes him a favorite everywhere he entertains. Whether he's
picking on pseudo celebrities in his song "Celebutard" or wondering how much he could get away with in "If I Had Boobs"
he always leaves the crowd laughing. Bill's song "I'm Goin Ugly Early Tonight" which has been recorded by Cledus T. Judd
is the perfect howling climax for his stand up-singing routine.
Bill's other career is that of a morning radio guy. He's on the air currently at B105.1 in Cincinnati.
He's been on the air in Milwaukee, Indianapolis and Nashville and has won numerous broadcast awards including the CMA
Award for Best Large Market Personality.
