Thanks to Mike and Sandy the owners of Nashville North and T-N-T and the Dynamite Cowboys the house band for Nashville North and our best friends. Sue and I get to spend time back stage with the Stars. Below are a few pictures of entertainers we have had the pleasure of meeting.
T. Graham
Brown is one of my all time favorite entertainers and I have been able to
spend some time getting to know him, what a great guy. The picture on the
left is at Nashville USA and the one on the right is at "The Ole Red Barn" in
Pittsfield, Illinois.
Neal McCoy. What a great show, he does not follow a script or song list, he just comes out and entertains. I have had the privilege of meeting him a couple times and just being able to set and talk. He loves his fans and is always there for them.
Merle Haggard. What can I say, the meeting was brief but I will never forget it.
I got to take the pictures of
Miranda Lambert and TNT & the
Dynamite Cowboys, but
I didn't get one of her and I.
Miranda is nominated for Best Female Country Vocal Performance
for "Kerosene"!
I started 2007 off by getting to spend
some time with Billy Joe Royal (Down
in the Boon Docks) and B.J. Thomas.
While I was out doing charity work, my wife got to spent time with Charlie Daniels. Lucky Charlie
Now
she is with Jeff Cook (From the group "Alabama").
I got to spend a little time with
Lori Morgan.
Aaron
Tippin, T-N-T and the Dynamite Cowboys and me.
Back
stage with Andy Griggs and Tammie Welch.
Whispering
Bill Anderson, what a great show.
Billy Currington is one of the most popular up and coming stars out of Nashville.
Being back stage with Billy Dean and his kids was great fun.
Blake
Shelton was really tall, but I don't think Sue cared.
Buddy
Jewell is the one on the right. Check his web site by clicking on his
name.
Look at the
A SALUTE to the AMERICAN SOLDIER
This
is Darryl Worley loving up my wife.
With
Gene Watson and I being the same age,
we could be brothers. What a great guy.
Jim Ed Brown
and Helen Cornelius were just fun. Jim loves to talk, so we got along well!
This is Jimmy
Wayne. Remember that name, he is new and he is writing some great
songs.
John Berry
has one of the best tenor voices I have ever heard in person. If you get
the chance go see him.
Julie
Roberts with TNT and the Dynamite Cowboys. I didn't get a picture with
her but I got to take the picture.

This is Keith Anderson with
TNT. I took several pictures but none with Sue or I.
I really loved
Little Big Town. They were such
a personable group and friendly to everyone. The girl to my left is
Jenny Lee who is a friend and
on of the up coming new stars.
Little
Texas put on quite a show.
Mark Wells, what a fun guy. He made back stage very exciting for everyone. Remember what happens back stage, stays back stage. Got you wondering don't I?

Jimmy
Fortune spent 21 years with the Statler Brothers and one night with Sue and
I.

T.G. Sheppard
has had 21 top ten country hits, but tonight was a hit with Sue and I.
T.G. and Jimmy Fortune are traveling together and make a great team. With
each putting on a separate show it make for an evening of wonderful
entertainment.
Rodney Atkins
2 smash hits, "If You're Going Through Hell" and
"Watching You". This man is tall and very nice guy.
Craig
Morgan hits as I Got You, Redneck Yacht Club, and the poignant
Almost Home, as well as That’s What I Love About Sunday, which
spent five weeks at No. 1 and ended 2005 as country radio’s most played song of
the year. It was a treat meeting this great entertainer.
Mickey
Gilley getting along real well with Sue. He still sounds as good as
ever.
