But here goes anyway! Next stop is WMIL in Greenfield WI. to play for Kerry Wolfe (PD) & Mitch Morgan in the conference room. Kerry has seen me play several times & had me play a new faces of country show for him several years back & I've had dinner & drink with him & his wife on several occasions. Shannon & I played our set & it seemed to go over very well. Kerry is also a fan of Shannon's music & asked him to play a song and Shannon played through his version of the classic Marvin Gaye song "Let's Get It On" it went over well & after some conversation we packed up & headed to the airport to catch a flight to Detroit.

Thursday July 26th
Lobby call is a merciful 9:30 so we get to sleep in & get breakfast before we go to meet Scott Gaines (APD/MD) at WDTW. We played a couple songs and it went really well. Detroit is a big Country market. You may never have guessed it with it being the home to Kid Rock, Bob Seger & Eminem. Next stop is WYCD to play for Tim Roberts & Ron Chatman & some of their listeners. I love when they bring in listeners it's a chance to spread some Mafia love. We played a 6-song set that went over really well. The listeners & staff were all very complimentary staying around to get "Ottographs". It went so well that afterwards they put us live on air to play some songs & spin the single. I had done a show for WYCD several years ago at a golf outing with Jessica Andrews & Marcel& had a blast then & it was just as much fun this time! About 7 hours & 360 miles later we pulled into Lexington KY. & turned in for the night.

Friday July 27th 8:00 AM
Lobby call for a 5-minute car ride to WBUL to meet Mark Gratin who used to be at WWQM in Madison Wi. Mark is a friendly guy & a fan of Shannon's & mine. It was a fun on air interview the morning crew there are all good guys we played songs & told jokes & walked out feeling good for our drive to Louisville, which is Shannon's adopted hometown. We spend the day running around checking out the city & dropping in to some of Shannon's favorite spots including Ollie's Trolley a burger stand with special seasoning that we all loved. We had dinner with the PD of WAMZ & local legend & country dj hall of famer Coyote Collins & his Lady Friend at an awesome Italian joint in downtown. Coyote is a very funny guy with lots of great stories. He' been in radio through it's glory years so it's interesting to get his take on things he remembers my last album & said a lot of kind words. All & all it was an excellent evening of food & fun with a legend in the business. We left him with a copy of the album & drove back to Nashville for some rest and relaxation to prepare for the next week. More to come stay tuned.
