My 14-year-old granddaughter, Hallie, called it, “the best night of my life,” and it was a high-water mark for mine when I took her with me to the CMA Awards on November 9th.
She loves country music more than any of my grandchildren, and experiencing “country music’s biggest night” with her was something neither of us will soon forget. Prior to the show, we walked the red carpet together, and I kept assuring the reporters and photographers that I was, “not robbing the cradle”…that my “date” was my granddaughter.
She loved meeting many of her favorite performers and was thrilled when her very favorite Luke Combs, won Entertainer Of The Year. Moments before his award she had taken a selfie with him. I couldn’t have gotten the smile off her face with a chisel.
I’ve been blessed with many magical moments in my life and my career, and this was definitely one of the best.

Hi Y’all:

Due to several unforeseen circumstances, the elective surgical procedure that I told you I had scheduled for February 27th has been postponed.

Many of you have reached out to me saying that you’ve had me in your prayers, and I appreciate that more than you know. At the moment I don’t know just when we might reschedule, but I will make sure you know when we know.

You are the best bunch of fans and friends anybody could ever be lucky enough to have!

Thanks for everything.

I’ve been getting quite a bit of mail lately from folks wishing me good luck at the upcoming Grammy Awards and telling me that they’ll be watching the telecast.
I appreciate that, but I thought I should let you know that the category in which I am nominated, American Roots, will not be featured on the portion broadcast on CBS. The good news is, however, that there is still a way you can watch.
Preceding the telecast, which is Sunday night  February 5th at 8 p.m. Eastern time, there will be a Premiere Ceremony which will air live on GRAMMY.com at 3:30 p.m. Eastern. This is where the majority of Grammy winners will be announced, and with a simple click you can join in on the fun. 
There are almost 100 different Grammy categories, and it’s impossible for all those to be included in a two-hour TV special. Therefore, to make sure all the nominees get recognized, City National Bank will sponsor the Premiere Ceremony.
I hope lots of you will tune in with your fingers crossed. Regardless of the outcome, it’s an honor to be nominated, and I’m looking forward to being there.
As the ol’ country boy down home used to say, “Don’t miss it if you can!”
