1) Did you ever consider setting up shop in Branson, Missouri? A lot of country music performers have over the years, and some have had a long presence there. Yes I did. When I was the spokesman for the PoFolks restaurant chain back in the 80’s, we seriously considered opening a PoFolks Dinner Theater in […]
Hi Gang: Welcome to September and the last of the hazy, lazy, crazy days of summer. I don’t know about you, but after all the heat and dry conditions we’ve had around Whisperville lately, I’m ready for some soft autumn rains and cooler temperatures. Bring ’em on! We’re starting off the month excited about the […]
I had the chance to visit with my grandson, Gabe, on his 18th birthday last month, and you can see here in this picture that we were both all smiles. All he wanted was the latest Lego sets, and as you can tell, he got his wish. He has loved putting together Lego ever since […]

My longtime guitar player and band leader, Les Singer, and his wife, Lizzie, celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary on July 15th, and the next day hosted a get together of family and friends in their new hometown of Franklin, Kentucky. We ate some good food and laughed at a lot of old road stories. Next […]

In our first picture this month, Dallas Wayne, from Willie’s Roadhouse on Sirius/XM, and I are arm-wrestling over whether he’s going to play MY new record next on his show or play HIS new record.

1) I have been a big fan of Roy Drusky since I was a kid, and I’ve been listening to “A Lonely Thing Called Me.” The steel guitar on that song is great. Do you know who played it? I looked it up, and found that song on a 1965 Greatest Hits collection from Mercury […]
