Played The Opry Again On Saturday!!

Wow, what an exciting day it has been! I started off the morning by going to Big D and Bubba. Mark, Robin and myself played three songs live and then followed that up with an interview. We played "Crazy Days," "Fast Enough" and a countrified version of Justin Timberlake's song, "What Goes Around." They really seemed to like our version of that..

After the radio visit, I came home and chilled for awhile and got a little more sleep. Around 5 o'clock, the band and I met at my manager's loft where we went together to meet up with Big Dave and the bus. We all hopped on and headed towards the Grand Ole Opry! This being my 2nd time playing the Opry now, I knew a little more of what to expect, but again I was so excited!! I don't think it really matters how much an artist plays the Opry, it's still gonna be an amazing feeling every time! Mark, Chad, the Opry house band and I went on stage at around 8:30 p.m. We played two songs. The first song we played was "Crazy Days" and then we followed that up with "What It Takes." It was a packed house from what I could see from the stage view and the audience seemed to really be into the music!

After the show, Lawrence and I chatted with Jeanne Sealy. She mentioned to us that she has been a member of the Grand Ole Opry going on 41 years.. We both were amazed by that and so was Jeanne. She told us that the years have flown by so fast and standing there talking to her, I couldn't help but think of all the people and all the things she had witnessed all those years at the Opry. Both Lawrence and I walked Jeanne to her vehicle after the show backstage and we asked her if she'd be into writing sometime. She said she would love to! So hopefully in the near future we can make that happen.

From the Opry, we made our way over to the Nashville Palace just across the way from the Opryland Hotel. As a last minute thing, The band and I got up on stage and played for 20 to 25 minutes. Besides the fast switch over of bands and a few mic technical difficulties, we all had an awesome time playing up there and would most certainly love to play there again sometime! I'm back at my loft now about ready to crash for the night, so I will sign off for now. I'll talk to you soon. God Bless!
