Last Summer, I was asked to come and perform for the Fraternal Order
Of Eagles at their National Convention in Louisville, KY...
..I opened for Ray Stevens...just like in the old days...we had a
great time....
.. and I was so thrilled at the response from the audience when I
sang the song that I wrote for them Where Eagles Fly....
This song is their national theme song and it thrills my heart that
they really love it so much...
This photo was made outside the event in downtown...Louisville is
a beautiful city...being on the road can be tough ... but seeing nice
places makes it all worth while.

to expect...
Pastor Jim and all the wonderful folks made me feel right at home...
I love the mountains....

Even though I had my annual Home For Christmas Show at the Colonnade
in North Georgia the night before..
.. . we drove through the night after that show in order to help wish
a lot of
wonderful folks a MERRY CHRISTMAS in my other home town..Sevierville,
TN...
we were tired but it was good tired ..
... can you find Waldo...? I am the one with the bue lighted vest
on.....
*****
I did a special show for a life long friend...Kay Richardson and
the gang
from the Little Mt. Reunion Association invited me down to South
Carolina...
It was a lot of fun visiting with old friends and I think we might
have made a few new friends that night...
Back in 80's, I was asked to be a guest performer for the reunion...
.. the city buried a time capsule containing one of my cd's...
The cd had a lot of my original songs...but Fly Eagle Fly was the
favorite with the crowd at that time...

movie...or Indiana Jones...Temple of Doom...or something..
.. .these huge BATS flying all around us...fascinating!
Hey!......"Flying Fox Fly"... you know....to the tune
of "Fly Eagle Fly"... NNAAAHHHHH HA HA
