I know everyone has heard about what is going on with him and maybe you guys will say he deserves it because he is a star but I dont think that way. He is local for us here. He was born and raised not far from here and his family still has a family farm. I have no clue why they wont drag him back to his Daddy's farm and get him well instead of letting him continue to be the butt of every late night TV hosts jokes. This was and is a good man. He has a problem.
I dont know how many of you know that I go to a singer/songwriters convention every year but it is one of my truly treasured activities that I wont miss. There are 3 to 4 country music songwriters who get up on a small stage and sing with just a mic and a guitar. There is seating for maybe 200. So its an intimate evening out. Its a cross between music and comedy really and over the years you really do get to know some of the songwriters who come back year after year. Does anyone know Billy Currington's song "Must be doing Something Right"? Well, one of the songwriters that comes year after year wrote that. His name is Jason Matthews. I adore him. He writes some great songs and I have several of his CD's. He has a webpage, FB page etc. Anyway....he was asked by Randy Travis several months probably a year ago to write this song about sobriety...oddly. Jason sang it for us at the concert at the beginning of August. I swear I was crying listening to Jason sing it so Jason really just looked that this blob singing these words. Almost an angelic figure that should be transported right in front of Randy to make him think about having this song written for him...and now he has to rethink his life again.
This is an excellent song for all those in recovery, trying to find recovery and those watching anyone who needs recovery. I am putting up the link to Randy singing the song because I cant find a download to Jason singing it.
