Hi Gang: I wish I could start off this newsletter by telling you about a tour we just returned from…or a recording session we just completed…or a special night we just experienced at the Grand Ole Opry….but unfortunately I can’t. Just like you, we are still locked down here in Whisperville, and while things in […]
Hey Gang: Things are still crazy in our COVID-19 world. I had a scheduled dental cleaning last week, received two reminders the week before, drove to the dentist’s office at my appointed time, and was turned away because, “we only see people 70-years old and younger.” Age discrimination? No, just folks following the CDC guidelines. […]
Hi Gang: What a crazy time it is for us all. I am trying to stay in, stay safe, and stay sane in the midst of everything, and I feel like I’m doing pretty good with the first two. I’m just not to sure about the “sane” part! Are you like me and having trouble […]
Hi Gang:What a difference a month makes!This time last month I was telling you about the recent Nashville tornadoes and asking you to keep our city and our people in your thoughts and prayers.

Hi Gang: And welcome to our February newsletter. I just hope this month is as full of music and fun as January turned out to be. We kicked off the new year with a fantastic swing through Texas, stopping in Kenney, New Braunfels, Victoria, and Kerrville. When the tour was over, I told […]

Hi Gang:Let me begin this month by thanking each and every one of you who reached out and wished me a happy birthday on November 1st. For what may have been the first time ever, I worked a concert on my birthday, and the folks in Scottsburg, Indiana, couldn’t have been nicer. When I came […]
Hi Gang: Well, the calendar says it’s October, but you’d never know it by the 90-plus degree temperatures that we’re still having here in Nashville. It feels more like the Fourth of July! Fortunately, I was able to spend last week up in Maine, enjoying cooler temperatures, lower humidity, nice breezes, and fresh lobster. You’ve […]
