Hi Gang: Well, it’s a good thing I took a few days off at the end of April to relax and stare at the ocean for awhile. From the looks of things, I might not get a whole lot more rest for the next six weeks or so. Things are poppin’ all around me! […]
Hi Gang: There’s an old saying that says, “You can’t go home again,” but I’m about to try. I started my major label recording career in 1958 with Decca Records, which became MCA Records in the early seventies, then somewhere along the way took on the name of its parent company, Universal. The […]
March 2, 2022 Hi Gang: And welcome to our March newsletter. Did the month come roaring in like a lion or sneak in gently like a lamb where you live? In Whisperville, it crept in more like a lamb, and after all the rain and unsettling weather we’ve had this winter, it […]
Hi Gang: Well, we are just now easing into February, and here in Nashville we’ve already had double the amount of snow we get in an average winter. We may break all kinds of snowfall records before this is over. If it’s equally as chilly where you are, throw another log on the fire […]

Hi Gang: And welcome to our newsletter for my favorite month of the year! Those of you who have been with us for any length of time knew I was going to say that, didn’t you? Because I say it every year when October rolls around. It’s officially autumn, the temperatures have begun […]
Hi Gang: I can’t believe how many cards and letters I continue to receive from you congratulating me on my 60th anniversary at the Grand Ole Opry. Just when I think there won’t be anymore, another batch arrives in my post office box. I have read every single one that I have received, and appreciate […]
