Pedal Steel, Dobro, Lap Steel – Nashville, TN
I told Jessica one morning last week that I really wished I could go to Hall of Fame day, but I didn’t think there was any way to make it happen…She made it happen, practically forced it, because she loves me. She treated going to Roger’s Auction Barn like it was more important than going to the Ryman Auditorium. That reason and so many more, are why she’s my kind of crazy.
Great project to be a part of, with so many of my friends!
Check out Weston Vernon Music!
O-H-I-O my birth state. Great show and lots of old friends.
Charlie’s first night at the Ryman. His little eyes were lit up seeing what I see when I play… Precious time. Time that has never meant more to me after the past few weeks. Therapeutic return in the Mother Church of Country Music. A tribute.
Putting the touring rig back together again. Josh Turner production day at SoundCheck Nashville.
Buckeye Lake, OH
On Wednesday, September 18, shortly after leaving the venue following the concert in Paso Robles, CA, Josh Turner’s crew bus was involved in a devastating accident. A beloved member of our road family was killed and all the surviving crew members have been severely injured and many face long recoveries. Please give if you can.
Happy 5th Birthday Charlie! What an absolute joy being your father. I can’t believe there was a time you weren’t here. Maybe you always have been, and you were just waiting on me to get it together enough to be your Dad .
I am absolutely touched beyond words at the outpouring of concern and love we have received from the crew bus’s accident.
Artists, sidemen, friends, people from every walk of life have reached out to us all – to share their shock and support.
Our crew are going through a horrible experience, and one of them didn’t make it. Horrible.
Families have been changed forever. It will be a long road to normalcy for most of our guys. Keep them in your thoughts. Donate to their families if you can. Most of all, love each other. Life is far too short to waste doing anything else.
Rest In Peace, David Turner.
Remain positive and be as strong as you’ve been. There will be better days ahead:

My wife is my rock, my sweet solace. Jessica, thank you for your counsel and your loving heart. Can’t wait to get home to you.
Thank you all so very much.
