Hi Gang:
Funny the things that have been running through my mind as I approach another birthday here in a few days.
Debuting Veteran’s Day!
Hi Gang:

Debuting Veteran’s Day!
George lived that kind of life. We’ll miss you, pal….but like you sang in the words of another beautiful song written by your son, “We Will Meet Again.”
Thank you for blessing my life.
Sept. 8, 2014 Hi Gang: A few weeks ago one of our fan club members, a lady named Cheryl Cato out in Oklahoma, wrote and asked me an interesting question: “If you were about to introduce country music to a person who had never listened to country music before….but who agreed to listen to three […]
While I’m waiting for time to sit down and write you a very moving story about something that happened on our recent cruise to Alaska, I thought you might get a chuckle out of a letter I received from a longtime fan of mine today…
June 27, 2014 Hi Gang: From out of the blue, Vince Gill called me the other day and said, “I just want to thank you for writing, ‘When Two Worlds Collide’.” I was quite taken back. That song is almost a half-century old. Vince was still a toddler the night Roger Miller and I first […]

April 2, 2014 Hi Folks! The calendar says it’s April, so maybe….finally!….this long, hard winter is over. Mother Nature pushed it to the limit, though. We went to York, Pennsylvania, Saturday night to do the make-up concert that was postponed due to snow back in December, and just as we were leaving town on Sunday […]
March 17, 2014 Hi Gang: And Happy St. Patrick’s Day! As most of you probably know by now, we celebrated the 40th anniversary of the “new” Grand Ole Opry House over the weekend, and it was quite a party. To those of us who cut our Opry teeth at the Ryman Auditorium, I guess the […]
