I’m heading out soon, on my way to Nashville for the CMA Festival. It’s my 9th year in a row going, and I still get very excited for seeing & hearing all the talent that is on the 4 day and night schedule, and for the surprises and unannounced performers that might just pop up. It’s the ultimate in live country music, set in the home area of most of the artists. It’s a place where the people anyway connected to the country music business live and work… and love to show off. It’s a love fest for anything and everything country music.
I will post pictures on Facebook. Some have expressed to me that they enjoy seeing them – and watching some videos. I suggest next year you join me – and experience the festival yourself because it’s really hard to write about it, and to tell how special the place and the event is.
I’m usually pretty good at writing. In fact, it is my favorite way to communicate my thoughts, and to reach out to people. I have been doing this blog for quite a few years now, and I also enjoy connecting with other social media outlets. Occasionally I know I repeat myself on some subjects, but it’s because I have a passion for it. Country music is one of those subjects.
So, to know me you just really need to read my past posts. I express myself about my views when it comes to some pretty major issues in our country. I have found my blog a good place to ‘get it out’ without being too offensive. I hope I am not. And, I have no secrets. With age has come concern about what is happening around me. With age has come time – and the ability to do some things I want to do… and love to do.
So, as I get ready to hit the road to head west to Tennessee I think about how this is such a wonderful time in my life! I pray for a safe trip there and back. I pray for safety among the masses at the festival. I hope for some new experiences there, and I look forward to being back at some of the familiar places I have been to before. I am excited to share it all with my daughter and I’m so thankful she loves the festival (almost) as much as I do! I hope she doesn’t get tired of all the togetherness we will be sharing over the next 6 days.
It really is a special time in my life!
