‘I have incredible fans, and this young man in Canada, reminded me of his love for real country music when he showed me his ‘Farewell Party’ tattoo.

Thank you for your devotion to keeping our kind of country strong and growing.

I saw this old photo, and was reminded of how much our international friends like our kind of country music.

This was June 1979 in Belfast, Northern Ireland, visiting with very kind folks after a show’
