I had an awesome time down at Cadillac Ranch in Nashville last night! It was a show put on by Digital Rodeo, who have been great supporters of mine. A few days ago, I got a call from my buddy Tim Gates of the band Due West asking me if I'd like to attend the show. So I went and met up with them and had a great time. The show itself didn't start till probably after 11pm, but I sure was fortunate enough to run into a lot of familiar faces that I've met along my musical journey. There was a whole lineup of artist there last night, Buddy Jewel, Bryan White, Andy Griggs, Due West, and Bomshel, just to name a few. The house was packed like a can of sardines. Now I don't know about any of you, but I tried to fit into a can of sardines once and it was a pretty difficult situation, haha, just kidding. Anyways, I ended up getting out of there probably around 1 am, kinda a late night but very worth it being that I was able to meet so many great people again. Oh, by the way in case you're wondering, this was all pertaining to CRS week here in Nashville. Speaking of CRS, earlier in the day yesterday, I met up with my team from AristoMedia and took in a little of the CRS festivities down at the Nashville Convention Center. At first when I got there I ran into my buddy Mark Woods, who is the Executive Director for Operation Troop Aid and he presented me with yet another incredible gift. It was a United States Flag folded up neatly and housed in a picture frame casing along with a Certificate of Authenticity, stating that this US flag had been flown over Afghanistan while conducting area reconnaissance operation in a 7th Cavalry Regiment. Wow that was a mouth full, but again I was so honored to have received this from Mark and I'm so proud to show my support to all the men and women out there serving in the US, in Canada and from around the world.. Thanks to all of you for your sacrifices and for your hearts... We love you all! :) I also went to a Capital Records Nashville luncheon event, where they had Emily West and Eric Church as guest performers. I had to leave before Eric's show, but I saw Emily West perform and she did a great job! So there you have it, my 2010 CRS experience. :) I hope you all are doing well and thanks to all the tweeters out there for sending me your messages. It's been great reading them all. God Bless! ag)
