Hi Gang: A friend of mine who sits in front of his computer all day working in a high pressure job paid me a great compliment the other day. He phoned and said, “I put on your instrumental record while I’m working, and my blood pressure goes down 20-points!” I laughed but he was serious. […]
Hi Gang:Do you sometimes feel as though we’re all actors in the movie, “Ground Hog Day?”I sure do…one day after another with very few changes. Oh well, it is what it is, and we just have to stay strong, hang onto our faith, and believe it will all be behind us someday soon.Actually, life is […]
Hi Gang: I told Jeannie Seely the other day that the twenty dollars I paid for my 2020 Monthly Planner was the biggest waste of money I could ever remember! Almost everything I wrote down beginning in March and running through December has been erased. Nothing that I planned on has happened and most of […]
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 my world […]
Hey Gang: Things are still crazy in our COVID-19 world.

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. Then I told you that I was heading into the studio to record some new music, preparing for my annual trip […]
Hi Gang: It’s hard to think about working and playing music and smiling onstage right now following the terrible destruction that tore through Nashville earlier this week, but I guess at some point we need to get back to doing the things we normally would be doing. So I sat down this afternoon to write […]
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: And welcome to our first newsletter of the new decade! I hope each of you had a wonderful Christmas, and I hope you know how much I appreciated all the beautiful Christmas cards and messages that you sent. I hope, too, that you’re as excited about moving into a new year as I […]
