maintain traffic safety and efficiency, while driving.

Vickie Harris, creator of Paws 4 Health television show, and camera crew have been recording special guests preparing healthful recipes, in a series of "pilot episodes" with the intent to sell the program to syndication.

Exposure Appreciated My thanks to Country Entertainment USA magazine, and writer/assistant editor, Holly Marie Tong, for including me in their debut publication; a nice two-page article, with color photos looks great!. The magazine pledges to present artists from a wide array of the industry, allowing updates on veterans and information on new artists. On RFD Television Network Recently, while channel surfing, I landed on the RFD network, and there I was performing on Country's Family Reunion. As I watched, the camera swept across those around me; so many are gone now, but not forgotten.
What Some Do For A Buck
"When one considers exhaustive research culminating into a concise story, surrounding one of country music's legendary, yet seldom understood architects, this is a book every fan of music, and humanity should read." ------Johnny Counterfit, comedian, impressionist, songwriter
My Fans Come In All Sizes
I met these two little sweeties outside the Texas Troubadour Theater, in Nashville, TN; my show appeals to (almost) every age group. Now, if I can learn to do a Justin Bieber impression, I'll have all bases covered! George Jones and Johnny Counterfit What a great time I had being part of George Jones' concert show, at Sam's Town Casino & Hotel, Tunica, Mississippi. Though I've been on stage and recordings with George in the past, I always feel blessed and very fortunate to share the stage with this true legend of Country Music. Book Focuses On My Career What a nice thing to happen; author Loyal Jones includes me in his book about country music humorists and comedians. There are 400 pages of information on artists, (A to Z) with real insight.
Another Book Includes Me In May of 2008, book author, Barry Barnes asked me for an interview, to be included in a brand new book, Nashville Now & Then. The book is out, and my interview, along with color photographs, is now for sale. $21.00 will cover book cost as well as s/h charges. Make checks payable to Barry Barnes 9 Music Square South #285 Nashville, TN 37203  Ode To A Loaf Of Bread  Periodically, I am asked how one becomes successful in the entertainment business. The long answer would fill a couple pages, so allow me to advance a few suggestions. Whether you wish to become a recording and/or performing star, you will most likely have to interact with agents, manager-types, people that know more than the rest of us, and (generally) buffoons just wanting to get in your pockets; all of this before you have a chance to make a reasonable amount of money. Simply apply the same common sense you would when shopping for a loaf of bread, to wit, what am I buying, what does it cost, what will I get for my money. Learn the business of business, then learn the entertainment business, or hire someone with reputable and verifiable credentials. Good bread takes time and hard work; If you slice off more than you can chew, you're the heel!
