‘I was in Nashville working with The Bellamy Brothers on a video for a song we recorded together. The video taping was big fun.

David Bellamy told me their new album will probably release late January 2024.

I enjoyed a surprise visit from The Malpass Brothers (Chris Malpass & Taylor Dunn), on Friday 8 December 2023, prior to a performance at The Grand Ole Opry in Nashville. I’ll be taping their new RFD television show in January 2024, which will be aired in Spring 2024.

After all the excitement of The Grand Ole Opry, we hit The Troubadour Nashville for All Access Coach Leasing’s party, featuring our buddies, The Malpass Brothers, on stage.

Country legend, Johnny Rodriguez, stepped up to sing, and Lisa Layne knocked everyone out with the Patsy Cline (Thursday 8 September 1932 – Tuesday 5 March 1963) hit, ‘I Fall To Pieces’.
