The first two are my father and father-in-law, both of whom
are veterans, came from very meager beginnings, and labored for fifty-plus
years to support families, provide college educations, beat cancer and heart
disease, and provide consistent unconditional love to their
“not-so-always-perfect” children.
The second two (and not necessarily in that order), are my
mother and mother-in-law who stood by their man, in a time when marriage vows
actually meant something, and who supported the efforts of their “not-so-perfect-husbands,”
and also labored away themselves to make sure that the entire family’s American
Dream came true.
The fifth is my wife, a retired Navy Commander (yes, I’m a
Jarhead that married a Squid – get over it), who, while battling chronic Lyme disease,
labors every day along side me to make
sure our family’s dream also comes true.
Finally, there is Tom Kelly, owner of
Chasing Your Dream Radio. I love the name
of his radio station because it reminds me that we all have the right to life, liberty, and the PURSUIT
of happiness. We all have the
God-Given right to chase our dreams, but we are not “entitled” to them – success
falls squarely on our own shoulders. In
the entertainment business, the odds are stacked against us – that simply means
we have to labor harder than the average person to achieve our goals. If that
is not attractive to you as an artist, now would be the time to exit the
business.
Because of Chasing Your Dream Radio,
my pursuit is becoming a reality. However, like most of you, there is still a
long way to go.
Most important, however, Tom Kelly has introduced me to some of the
finest rising stars in country music, including:
Tune in, crank it up, and support these rising stars who are
