Dustin Wilkes on Nashville Star
This season on Nashville Star the boys and I were surprised to find a former Marine, Dustin Wilkes, competing on the show. While serving in the Corps, he was involved with Toys For Tots, and in fact wrote the song used in the national campaign, called "One Toy At A Time". My boys were just delighted to see the film of Dustin on Nashville Star - his dress blues were a big hit at my house, and my youngest declared that after he is out of the Corps, he is going to become a country singer. Of course, since he's only 9 we have a while to wait for his CD.
However, we do have an opportunity to help Dustin Wilkes get a CD out. Wilkes was eliminated early in the competition, much to our dismay. He's got a great voice and an even better personality, and we were all disappointed to see him go.
Now, Nashville Star is allowing fans to vote on the performer they'd most like to see get a second chance. . You can vote to give Dustin that second chance, which would be wonderful! Go to this link, scroll down to see the weekly poll, and click on Dustin Wilkes. Wouldn't it be great to give one of our Marines a shot at a recording contract?

Great voice and a great Marine - what's not to like?
