Hi Friends –
I don’t know if it’s “official” but it sure seems like Spring has sprung from where we’ve been touring. The pollen from the trees is coating my vehicles which is a sure sign. My bus driver, Peanut, is working overtime keeping the bus clean.
This is really a great time of year for us on the road. No worries about snow and ice, the outsides shows are not too hot and for me on an outside show, there’s less chance I’m going to swallow a massive bug. Of course those bugs are a good source of protein from what I’ve heard but I’d prefer getting my protein elsewhere.
To all of you who have spent your time at my shows or kept my songs playing at your home or in your car or truck- Thank you!There’s no feeling quite like looking out into a crowd and seeing your faces, knowing that my songs are appreciated and loved by you.

We had a long run of wonderful shows these past two weeks and it was fitting that we ended this trip Saturday night at the Grand Ole Opry. During my show, Dan Rogers, Sr. VP/Executive Producer of the Opry, surprised me with a special Opry 100 commemorative scarf...
