Videos
I’m so excited to share this video of “I’ve Lived Country Music”. When I started thinking about the video, I thought of it being half footage of me singing the song and a few pictures but when I started going through pictures, I realized that the pictures really tell the story. Photos of my hometown, my FFA advisor, my FFA String band mates, childhood photos, family, friends that have passed and some of my musical heroes that became friends and some that I had brief encounters with. Please share if you don’t mind and go to iTunes to download the single. Thanks to Billy Lawson for a great production at Wishbone Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. I hope that you enjoy it!!
